How to do BMW G Series Coding with BMW ICOM cable

Topic: How to do BMW G Series Coding with BMW ICOM cable

I’ve collect all useful tips of BMW G series coding on the web and make a write-up here. Hope it helps.

Q: Is it possible to code BMW G-series and wich software? E-sys is not possible?

A: Coding G series is with ESYS. I think you need pro launcher from Tokenmaster. It was written somewhere on the forum but maybee you can ask Tokenmaster.

Q: Have any good success if G series coding?

A: I have successfully coded G-series. You need Pro Launcher.

Q: Do we know if it’s possible at all to code the G-series?

A: Coding is possible with E-SYS, but problem is the mapping/trimmed CAFD’s on new ECU’s. But for excisting ECU’s not a problem (BDC_BODY, NBT2, ACSM etc.)

Q: Can I code G11 with Esys?

A: Tried to code G11 today.

My I-level is S15A-16-07-506, used data 5.94.

I found S15A target in Esys.

S15A psdzdata covers F090/G001/G002/G011/G012/G030/G031/G032/RR11/RR12/RR31

Q: Could you share with me your launcher pro’s token and activation code ?

A: This is not possible. Token and activation code are valid for 1 PC only. This is how it works: you ask Token Master, he sends token, you install Launcher Pro with the token, Launcher generates request code, you send it to Token Master, he sends you activation code in response.

Q: Which E-sys can be used for G series coding?

A: E-Sys:
S15A psdzdata covers G001/G002/G011/G012/G013/G030/G031/G032
S15C psdzdata covers G008/G038

Q: Which tool for G series?

A: I’m perfectly aware what ICOM Next from OBD2TOOL is and I have it.

Icom next runs a gigabyte lan port. So if router and laptop also running gigabyte ports you increase speed, that’s only if the car and software allow it.

Also the Icom next is faster for G series cars which I suspect also have gigabyte Ethernet bus.

Also it has USB3.0 instead of USB2.0 and a better wifi card.

Ps. It’s a copy, from http://www.obd2tool.com/search-BMW+ICOM.html

Q: Which BMW ICOM can i use for G30?

A: Any icom will work , but to be safe with f,g,i series vehicles , use a dedicated router as kafas huh and a few other modules will crash if you do not use a router it handles the switches for Ethernet as those modules use more than 1 path way , in short it uses all 4 two pair wires and without router not good , this has worked for me for some time now good luck. note my router does not connect to wan

Q: What tool is used for G30 flash or coding?

A: Flashed all Cars with BMW ICOM Next and Online Aos with DHCP over Router. Since that i have Never any Problems with NBT or other. Flash E/F/G with this Setup.

Note that Online Aos is the online version of the BMW software for Diagnostic, Programming any many other things.

Q: How to do G30 coding?

A: BMW G30 has a quite a lot of differences in ECU, so wanted to share my findings here.

Note:

– This is Not a comprehensive list of options But options that are unique from options standard across the recent models.

– Read SVT does Not work, use Read ECU instead.

– Ensure vehicle engine is running before you press Read ECU button otherwise you won’t get the full list of ECUs.

ECU: SAS [Driver Assistance Systems]

ACC Default Distance: C_Abstandsstufe_init -> Set to 2

Blind Spot Detection: Note that G30 has a multiple Blind Spot Detection Modules, and you need to set Speed setting for each. For each radar module there is a separate KMH and MPH Setting so 6 in all.

E.g.

C_LCA_SWW_Vmin_KMH – set to 55km/h

C_LCA_SWW_Vmin_MPH – set to Option 0 (Werte 22)

ECU: HU_NBT [Head Unit]

G30 has a hardware limitation and max Video-In-Motion you can get via E-sys is 63 km/h (around 39 mph). After following standard VIM coding, Ensure that

SPEEDLOCK_SPEEDVALUE_MIN: Werte=1F

SPEEDLOCK_SPEEDVALUE_MAX: Werte=3F

ECU: DKOMBI [Instrument Cluster]

Remove Speed Limit Sign from HUD: HUD_SPEED_LIMIT_ENABLE DKOMBI

ECU: IHKA [Climate Control] – Not Tested

This encoding value determines whether the previous settings (Last Function) should be used when switching from the Auto mode to Manual mode, in manual mode, or whether the settings from “Auto” should be used when changing from the car to the manual mode.

LAST_FCT_AUTO_MAN

Default: AKTIV (Active) = 01

HO coding in order to be able to manipulate front-end adjustment of the ventilation (if necessary, in the case of special large-scale customer requests)

3003 -> VERTRIMMUNG_BEL_FRONT (Front Face)

keine = 00

3003 -> VERTRIMMUNG_FUSS_FRONT (Front Feet)

keine = 00

OPTIONS

keine = 00 (No)

kaelter = 01 (Colder)

waermer = 02 (Warmer)

ECU: BDC_Body -> 1DF7 – Comfort Access Settings

3514 PMaster Has Comfort Access Related Settings

ECU: ACSM – Safety Related Settings

Settings for SeatBelt Reminders and such

2017 DoIP Xentry Connect C5 MB Star Diagnosis- What’s New

Real Benz diagnostic tool DoIP Xentry Connect C5 came as the newest star diagnosis system in the year 2017. it’s 1:1 clone of the original. Same as the one produced by French ACTIA Company, can test Engine /Transmission / air conditioning /SRS.ABS/ anti-theft system and OBD-II system, for basic diagnostic, SCN coding & ECU programming.

What’s new? & what is updated, compared with sdconnect c4?

1 This MB SD Connect C5 is the real version with HQ PCB like the original, not the cheap one made by SD connect PCB.(attach PCB photos in the last part)

2 support the newest hybrid W222.

3 has an Ethernet switch, which switches the TCP/IP messages in the event of DoIP diagnosis to the vehicle side.

4 has a qualitative improvement in hardware and software by authorization of diagnostic interface to control the software.

Hardware: The hardware of C5 is better and stable than SDconnect C4
1.OS: Windows Embedded Standard 7(32bit)

2.Processor: ArrandaieCeleron P4500 oder P4505(38W TDP)

3.Memory: 4G hard disk with 256GB SSD

4.Display: 128*64 PX

5.Battery: 40 minutes (When CPU capacity to 60%)

6.Weight: 1.9KG

7.Network connection: WLAN : IEEE802.11 a/b/g/n2.4+5GHZ

The way to connect: support wireless connection via 1000M workshop switches, also support wired connection.

Software: All BENZ diagnostic software 2017.9 is loaded into the Xentry Connect multiplexer itself.

The management software can be installed on any computer with Windows 7 – 32-bit or Windows 8 – 32-bit and serves only for communication with the multiplexer

The licensing system is reworked – now licenses are stored on MB servers – Any license changes are tracked by the multiplexer when connected to the Internet network.

5 at a lower price: the 1:1 clone of the original C5 is much more cheaper than that from the ACTIA Company

Undoubtedly, the original c5 with Panasonic tablet from the ACTIA Company is excellent … But … Its price is disheartening. The cost of the Japanese tablet is realistic to buy pieces of eight new laptops or tablets from other manufacturers.

Attachment: Xentry Connect C5 PCB- real & fake

PCB from real DoIP Xentry Connect C5

This board is verified to work no issues.

PCB from fake SD Connect C5 (actual SD Connect C4 in C5 case)

the fake mb star c5 has nothing update

it is another SD connect c4 from OBD2TOOL with a different look only

fake C5 adopts the same design in appearance as the genuine from French ACTIA Company

same sw, some PCB, same result as SDconnect

So,  Why you should buy Xentry connect?

After 2015, all Star Diagnosis equipment is no longer supported. First of all, this means that there is no update of the diagnostic data for the newest cars and their systems, as well as the lack of the possibility of coding and programming of electronic units due to the backlog of the software data level in the device, from data in the electronic control units of the car.

Already at the end of 2014, at most dealerships, almost all of the previously used MB SD Connect C4 with SDConnect DoIP multiplexers were almost completely removed. Instead, dealers received Xentry Kit kits, which include the latest Xentry Connect multiplexers and Xentry Tab tablets from Panasonic. Tablets are custom-made, although they also have a “civilian” version – the Panasonic Toughbook CF-D1, somewhat inferior in terms of battery life to the original Xentry Tab, but it has a much more powerful configuration.

How to Connect the Tech 2 to a Computer Terminal

Follow the steps below and refer to the follow picture, which illustrates the typical Tech 2 Scan Tool connection to a computer terminal.

1.  Plug the serial port adapter (P/N TA00040) into the serial port marked “A” or “1” on the back of the computer terminal or to the USB port using the USB serial adapter.

2.  Plug the Tech 2’s RS-232 cable into the serial port / USB port adapter and connect the appropriate power supply.

3.  After power is supplied to the Tech 2 and the [PWR] button is pressed, the Car Scanner Tech 2 start-up display
should appear on the Tech 2 screen.

Power Supplies
Power up the Tech 2 using either:
*  The power jack connector at the bottom of the Tech 2 unit, or
*  The DLC cable power jack connector behind the area where various DLC adapters are connected.

For non-vehicle communications, connect power source to either location.

For vehicle communications, connect the power source to the DLC cable power jack connector only. Proper grounding may not be present if power source is connected directly to Tech 2.

When the Tech 2 is connected to the DLC of an appropriate vehicle, the vehicle battery supplies power.

When the Tech 2 from www.obd2tool.com is not connected to the vehicle’s DLC, the DLC cable power jack connector accepts power from the following:
*  Cigarette lighter power cable
*  Battery power cable
*  NAO or Universal power supply

5-4

If the DLC and external power source are both connected, the power jack connection supplies current to the Tech 2. In this instance, power from the vehicle’s DLC connector is automatically disconnected from the Tech 2 internal power supply
