Code 2TB on a 205 F10

I have experience with both both the Sport auto and normal auto in the F10, and the Sport auto is my choice no 1

Just got a 2013 F10 530d x-drive with 205 and I want to try the 2TB coding on it. I do not care about the nice short sport auto shifter and the paddles, I do not want to retrofit them.

Just want the software which gets me faster shifting times.
Any one done this? What what ecu's need coding after I change VO.
Is it as simple as that? Or will the gearbox need new software?

FA (VO) Replace 205 with 2TB.
Code new FA in ECUs EGS, and GWS.

Simple as that, and no new software for the gearbox, but I never noticed faster shifting times...this did change the display mode to be S1, S2, S3, etc.

Could you please confirm we also need to code new FA in ECU
- KOMBI in order to show Sport + in the cluster ?
- CID in order to show animation in CIC?

Thank you in advance

I think that this is not related to the gear shifter functionality. The rocker switch on the center console is what causes Eco/Comfort/Sport/Sport + modes to be selected and displayed in the Cluster. The change with this coding is that the gear indicator will show S1, S2, etc. instead of the simple S or D that we normally see.

- CID in order to show animation in CIC?
Is this what you are looking for?
Enable Sports Display menu when switching to sport driving mode
HU_CIC=>KOMBI=>SPA_SPORT_ENABLE=>aktiv

Again, this is requires that rocker switch which changes the driving mode.

I'm sorry but i don't understand...
For me, add 2TB and code ECUs should allow, in particular, to see "Sport+"
-in the cluster like the 2 photos i attach
-in the CIC screen like the photo i attach.
So, could you please confirm (or not) coding only GWS and EGS ecus is enough to see this ???
Thank you in advance,

I believe that the rocker switch in the attached picture is the only way you will be able to change between Eco/Comfort/Sport/Sport + and to see the status in your Cluster and iDrive.

The gear shift indicator is what you will see differently in your Cluster (S1, S2, S3, etc...).

Thank you for answer.
I think i'm not clear.
I dont have sport+ in my car: only 3 status eco/comfort/sport i can change indeed with the rocker switch.
My aim is to add this sport+ status in the cluster and idrive.
And i thought adding 2tb could be the solution...
That's why i asked you previously if i needed to code Kombi...thinking without coding this ecu, the status sport+ in cluster and idrive would not appear....

Yes.... Change 205 to 2TB and you will get Sport+. There is other coding (IIRC) necessary to get S1-XXX in the display.

Once i get the enet cable, i'm going to add 2TB in accordance with the pdf document named "FA (VO) Step-By-Step (MWPos) 8-24-2013.pdf ".
I will code new FA in ECUs EGS and GWS only and i will see if "sport+" appears in the cluster and Idrive as in the pictures i attached previously.

So by adding this "sport+" to non-sport+ vehicles, will you see any difference at all in driving? I have the eco/comfort/sport only. I would definitely try this if there is any gain from adding it.

Not really.... Sport+ just automatically disables part of the traction control. I think it enables DSC.

Let us know if this works! I'm waiting for you to verify before I continue to do this myself. Thanks

As i thought, coding new FA in ECU EGS and GSW is not enough....to get Sport+ displayed on the cluster and on my CIC screen.

I'm going to code new FA in Kombi and ICM too as i have seen on others posts.

It works!
You have to code new FA (as explains the pdf file attached above) in 4 ECUs :
-EGS,
-GWS,
-Kombi,
-ICM.

The pics are exactly the same i attached previously.
The sport transmission is really good : 7 speeds in sport mode vs 8 in DS mode...It seems more brutal and i like that !

FDL-code the following after VO-Codiing:

SZL_LWS_03 > Variantencodierung 3000 > Lenkrad_Schaltpaddles = nicht_aktiv
