BMW E-sys coding for the f48 x1

kubax86 · 04-01-2018, 02:26 AM

Hello,
I've installed instrument cluster from eu spec version and I need to flash it with E-SYS. I've previously blanked VIN and erase the mileage. KOMBI read mileage from CAS and now it's like it was before.
Problem is that I can't inject CAFD, so I have to flash it couse it has red dot and some options from donor car.
Tried to flash it but with no luck, for the whole time i got error KOMBI_60_ETHERNET_63. Tried connecting via Gateway and via VIN. Tried disabling "active programming mode" and enabling "active coding mode", tried disabling Parallel programming but WITH NO LUCK. Same error for the whole time.
I'm using newest full psdzdata, esys 3.27.1 and ASUS laptop with realtek card. My FA is factory, and never have problems with coding but it's my first time when I flash.

My car had factory extended instrument cluster and HU_ENTRYNAV.
Retrofiting hasn't been done.

Help would be appreciated, really don't know what else I can do.

Hey guys!
I have a F48 20d xdrive (EU) and I coded several options just like in my F36.

I was wondering some things:

1) The F48 already uses Kafas for proximity alert. Is it possible to install ACC buttons and VO code?

2)The car has LED lights but no adaptative headlights. I think this is also Kafas dependent. Is it possible to code?

3)I was thinking of retrofitting the 6WB but I think BMW does not offer that option in Europe. Can I use 6WB from F25 X3? Does the retrofit interfere with the HUD?

Some of the options of the car are:
2TB, 2VL, 223, 3AG, 313, 316, 322, 430, 431, 5AV, 5A4, 5DP, 508, 544, 6UP, 610, 7LG, 7LH, 8TF

Thanks!

Possible to code what?

I mean anti-glare function and high beam assist.

It would require Adaptive Headlamps and Turn-Signal stalk with HBA button.

The car has the option 5A4:"Led Headlights With extended Features"
The only options here in Portugal are these Leds with extend features or Halogen. Are these enough?

As for the stalk can I buy only the stalk for the lights or it has to be the whole thing with the wiper controls too?

If you want fully adaptive NGHB, you would need different headlamps.

I am not sure if you can do two-stage (on/off) HBA with 5A4.

Wiper controls should be on opposite side of steering wheel. Turn signal stock is one with BC button.

Ok, so I can forget NGHB, but I still think HBA with 5A4 is possible. The only question is I can only find the entire stalk setup not the single stalk for the lights. Like this:

As to 1) do you think changing the steering wheel controls to this and VO code will suffice or is more hardware required as in F36?

Finally I was hoping 6WB from F25 was compatible with F48, but I can't find an answer anywhere.

Not sure on first image, but looks right. Those steering wheel controls are for ACC+.

You can check http://www.etkbmw.com/. That will give you compatibility.

I am also interested in this retrofit; please keep us informed...

If you have the light switch set at 'Auto' that enables the adaptive (extended features) settings for LED headlights, including cornering lights. If, however, you do as I did on first time out in the dark and have the light switch set at 'O', all you get is standard non-adaptive LED headlights - still pretty decent illumination of the road etc, but that's all.

Did anyone successfully code rear fog light in F48? I've changed switch to european version. I also made coding: NSL_VERBAUT -> verbaut.
Indicator light of rear fog light is present on kombi but lights are not working.
Anyone know the solution?

Thanks

I was wondering the samething. But I feel you will need to retrofit the correct head light switch with the rear fog button. Finding the correct switch for my US spec 11/17 build seems impossible for me.

Hello.
I found the coreect switch and successfully coded.

Coding:
3068, NSL_Verbaut = Verbaut
3064 Mapping_Nebelschlussl_L_output = nsl_l
3064 Mapping_Nebelschlussul_L_Function = nebelschlusslicht
3064 Mapping_Nebelschlussl_R_output = nsl_l
3064 Mapping_Nebelschlussl_R_Function = nebelschlusslicht

Switch:
Bmw part no. 9393609

I found those codes on another forum. Not sure on the switch. Everything says not for US spec cars.

Mine is full led.

Kubax where did you source the switch from? Looks like 609 suppresses to a 61 31 6 847 524.

Wanted to thank Shawn for all his help, I was able to code my X1 successfully in getting the fog light warning message away, using the remote key to close the tailgate and to get the NAVI disclaimer away! This is great!!

ejw2011 · 05-30-2018, 04:03 PM

So I got the switch Kubax86 stated, used on ebay. It fits and works. I coded on expert mode but thought the R_output Kubax86 stated was a misprint as nsl_l and used nsl_r instead. NSL_R for R_output line caused the right reverse light to light up instead of the right fog light. Kubax86 is correct using nsl_l for R_output.
The switch does work for U.S. cars as kubax86 stated.
Many thanks for the info and help, Kubax86.

There is another used switch available at ebay the last time I checked.

bjorrieken · 05-31-2018, 02:32 AM

My car (BMW F48 X1 sdrive18d), has rear PDC.
I would like to retrofit front pdc, and i think hardwarematically i know what parts to order (as there is no retrofit kit).
I'm not 100% sure how to start and what to do.
Can you guys help me out?

Kind regards,

Bjorn

Kubax86 was nice of enough to source a switch for me out of europe.

Hi,
does anybody know, if it's possible to code the speedo lights stay always on?
There's a code in the E90 Kombi 'M_TAG_SKALENBELEUCHTUNG', but i can't find it for the F48?
Any idea?
