			<description><![CDATA[Hi All,<br />
<br />
I am looking at how to remove an ECU from the ISTA control unit tree so that the car no longer looks for it. <br />
<br />
I have a Canadian G30 but fitted some EU seats in it. My passenger seat no longer has a control unit but only the seat heating module. But the car is still looking for the ecu "SMBF". It shows in red in the ISTA unit tree and BDC registers an error because it cannot talk to it.<br />
<br />
What I tried to do is:<br />
<br />
TAL Calculation:<br />
1 - Read SVT IST from car (the ECU is not listed there since its not connected)<br />
2 - Calculate SVT SOLL (the ecu re-apears, in red)<br />
3 - Edit SVT SOLL to delete that ECU and save<br />
<br />
VCM:<br />
1 - load the modified SVT SOLL in both SVT Current and SVT target<br />
2 - write SVT target to VCM<br />
<br />
But when I read the car with ISTA the ecu show up in red again.<br />
<br />
The only thing that comes to mind is that because my typekey is still the Canadian/US one the car expects a passenger seat control unit. So wondering if I also need to write a modified FA with European typekey then re-do the SVT steps in VCM.<br />
<br />
If anyone can comment I'd appreciate your input.<br />
<br />
Thanks!<br />
<br />
<br />
EDIT:<br />
<br />
I forgot to mention I also tried to enable VCM update after TAL processing in options and run a TAL processing without checking any of the ECU's. <br />
Likewise also tried to load the SVT target in VCM then just code any ECU to force VCM update.<br />
<br />
Neither of these make the ECU go away either.]]></description>

BMW E-Sys 3.27<br />
Premium Launcher<br />
PSdZdata 63 Lite<br />
Windows 7 x64 English VMware<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">1. BMW E-Sys 3.27</span><br />
This is a stable "engineering" version of the software for BMW F, G, and I-series vehicles. It is used for:<br />
- Function coding (activating hidden options);<br />
- Editing trim levels (FA/VO);<br />
- Programming (flashing) electronic control units.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">2. E-Sys Launcher Premium (by TokenMaster)</span><br />
E-Sys itself is closed for editing critical data.<br />
<br />
The launcher performs two main tasks:<br />
<br />
- Token generation (.EST): Allows the "FDL Coding" function<br />
(changing individual parameters within the unit). Without this, you can only<br />
change the entire trim level, not individual settings.<br />
<br />
- Un-trimming (Mapping): In newer databases, BMW removes function names,<br />
leaving periods or empty strings. The launcher replaces this data,<br />
returning human-readable names (for example, instead of "3001 &gt; .."<br />
you see "3001 &gt; Speed_Limit").<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">3. Differences in PSdZdata Databases</span><br />
PSdZdata contains firmware and module descriptions that are "inserted"<br />
into E-Sys for vehicle operation.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">PSdZdata LITE:</span><br />
- Purpose: Exclusively CODING (hidden functions, settings).<br />
- SWFL files: None (cut to save space).<br />
- Disk space: ~5-15 GB.<br />
- Pros: Takes up little space, downloads and installs quickly.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">PSdZdata FULL:</span><br />
- Purpose: PROGRAMMING (firmware) + coding.<br />
- SWFL files: Included in full.<br />
- Disk space: ~150-350 GB.<br />
- Pros: Allows you to fully update your vehicle's software and restore control units.<br />
<br />
* SWFL (Software Files) are large firmware files required for updating control unit software.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">4. Which one to choose?</span><br />
- If you're a beginner and just want to activate functions (start-stop, logos, videos): download the LITE version.<br />
- If you plan to update your vehicle's firmware or replace the hardware with used equipment: you need the FULL version.<br />

			<description><![CDATA[Hi everyone, I accessed my BMW F10 CIC Professional via FTP using FileZilla to copy into my pc the servicehistorie.bin file located inside the \HBpersistence\Hmi\data\rw <br />
<br />
The method I used was: <br />
<br />
1. Set my laptop's wired connection IP to 192.168.0.1; subnet mask as 255.255.255.0 and default gateway 192.168.0.1. Left DNS blank.<br />
2. Opened Tftpd64 application and did the following:<br />
<br />
* Went to DCHP tab<br />
* Set IP pool start address to: 192.168.0.2<br />
* Set size of pool to: 10<br />
* Set default router to: 192.168.0.1<br />
* Set mask to: 255.255.255.0<br />
* Pressed "OK" button<br />
* Selected 192.168.0.1 (ethernet connection) from the "Server interfaces" dropdown<br />
<br />
3. I then connected the ethernet to ODB2 cable to the car and started the car engine.<br />
4. I pressed and held down the radio power/volume button for 30 seconds<br />
5. The iDrive screen restarted<br />
6. I then noticed that the tftp32 application indicated that it had assigned 192.168.0.2 and 192.168.0.3<br />
7. I visited <a href="ftp://192.168.0.2/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="mycode_url">ftp://192.168.0.2/</a> in my web browser and was promoted for a username and password<br />
8. I entered "root" and "Hm83stN)" and logged in successfully for testing.<br />
9. open filezilla and connect with ip 192.168.0.2, user root and password Hm83stN)<br />
10. navigate to \HBpersistence\Hmi\data\rw<br />
11. transfer file servicehistorie.bin<br />
12. open SHMLITE<br />
13. open file, select *.* and open servicehistorie.bin<br />
<br />
Now, with SHMLITE i can see all service history, but in reverse mode.<br />
<br />
If I add a new service, it will be placed at the beginning, not the end, in chronological order. <br />
<br />
Is that possible to developers create an application for edit that bin file, like SHMLITE with more options , like to reverse order, etc.. etc.. ?<br />
<br />
Via ftp we can replace a saved file with all service history with filename servicehistorie.bin .]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[BMW ETK Offline is a version of the dealer catalog for genuine spare parts, accessories, and retrofit kits. The software allows you to search for parts by vehicle VIN or model, providing detailed diagrams of assemblies and components.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">Files inside:</span><br />
BMW ETK 01.2020<br />
ETK Price 04.2026<br />
How to install ETK<br />
Pass for Rolls-Royce, Zinoro<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">Catalog Coverage</span><br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b"><br />
Brands:</span><br />
BMW, MINI, Rolls-Royce.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">Vehicle types:</span><br />
Passenger cars and motorcycles. Includes classic and retro models.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">Why you need the price file</span><br />
The BMW ETK program provides only diagrams, technical specifications, and original part numbers (part codes), but does not display their cost.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">Installing the additional price file provides the following capabilities:</span><br />
Price display: The cost of each part appears in the interface in the selected currency (current as of the date this price file was created).<br />
Quotation generation: The ability to add parts to a “cart” and generate a preliminary estimate for repairs or parts orders.<br />
Localization: Price files are typically released for specific markets (e.g., dealer prices in Europe or the U.S.), allowing the program to be adapted to local pricing structures.<br />

			<description><![CDATA[I’m troubleshooting a KAFAS camera issue on a BMW E-series (E70 platform) using ISTA+ and INPA.<br />
<br />
The original problem was multiple KAFAS-related faults in ISTA, including no communication with headunit, lane departure warning, and all-round view camera, along with a general KAFAS malfunction.<br />
<br />
I first tested the original camera module. In ISTA it showed an internal hardware fault and calibration failed. In INPA the module responds normally and all voltages (1.8V, 3.3V, 5V, vehicle voltage) are within range, so power supply and wiring appear OK. However, the VIN from the camera shows as “yyyyyyyy” and VIN status says no access, which is not normal.<br />
<br />
Based on that, I replaced the camera with a used unit (Continental KAFAS, similar part number). After installation, the replacement module behaves almost exactly the same. It communicates fine, shows proper hardware/software information, and all voltages and current are normal. But again in INPA the VIN camera shows as “yyyyyyyy” and VIN status says no access.<br />
<br />
I then attempted calibration in ISTA with both the original and the replacement module. In both cases calibration fails with the same message (camera dirty/covered, no movement in front of camera, or camera defective). There is no difference in behavior between the two units.<br />
<br />
So currently:<br />
<ul class="mycode_list"><li>Power supply to KAFAS is OK<br />
</li>
<li>Communication with the module is OK<br />
</li>
<li>Calibration fails on both units<br />
</li>
<li>Both show invalid VIN (“yyyyyyyy”) in INPA<br />
</li>
</ul>
<br />
<br />
This suggests the issue is not wiring or vehicle-side, but related to the camera modules themselves. Either both modules are defective, not properly initialized, or have corrupted internal data (EEPROM/flash). Another possibility is compatibility or coding, but I would expect the VIN to be readable if the module was healthy.<br />
<br />
Main question:<br />
Is it normal on E-series KAFAS for the camera VIN to show as “yyyyyyyy” in INPA if it is uncoded, or does this indicate a defective or corrupted camera module?]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Hey everyone, so I think I'm the startup video guy now  <img src="https://www.bimmerscene.com/images/smilies/biggrin.png" alt="Big Grin" title="Big Grin" class="smilie smilie_4" /><br />
<br />
<br />
Video of it working:<br />
<br />
<a href="https://youtu.be/cBRI5WnvA5M?si=ygT2Q-J7On_DSalU" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="mycode_url">https://youtu.be/cBRI5WnvA5M?si=ygT2Q-J7On_DSalU</a><br />

Ok, like on NBT Evo, you are going to need SSH access to the headunit, this can be done using hu tools and a usb drive or the way I did it:<br />
<br />
Followed <a href="https://spoolstreet.com/threads/ipl-serial-telnet-and-ssh.9172/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="mycode_url">this guide</a> and soldered two wires on the pcb and used a usb to serial TTL adapter, after that, just ran the commands and connected to ssh.<br />
<br />
<div class="codeblock"><div class="title">Code:</div><div class="body" dir="ltr"><code>ip: 169.254.199.99<br />
User: root<br />
Password: ts&amp;SK412</code></div></div><br />
As a freebie I'll throw SCP, you can follow <a href="https://www.bimmerscene.com/showthread.php?tid=1279" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="mycode_url">this guide</a>, it's pretty similar, just use the file I <a href="https://www.mediafire.com/file/gc6k4856wa63zyq/scp/file" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="mycode_url">linked here</a>.<br />
<br />
ok, now you need to find you current animation, they are not saved as avi but as PDDS files, you can search for eva_ani_0x00_07.pdds, changing the params for the ones on your HU.<br />
<br />
this are weird files, so I had to reverse engineer (using AI of course) and then created a script to encode .mp4 videos to it.<br />
<br />
You can check my script <a href="https://pypi.org/project/custom-nbt-startup/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="mycode_url">here</a>. and the <a href="https://github.com/BimmerWest/CustomNBT-Startup" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="mycode_url">github</a> if you want to check how it works.<br />
<br />
With a compiled video you can just replace the file on the folder and check if the video is working.<br />
<br />
<br />
I think this is it, any questions just LMK.<br />
