E89 Coding
I just a K+DCAN OBDII/usb cable and installed all the necessary software for coding. Has anyone done any coding to the e89? Which options did you enable? Did you do it your self or did you have someone remote coding it? Thanks in advance.

I've never coded the car so I too am interested in hearing about this.

Alright, i'll give it a go this weekend. I'll try to get the digital speedo, i have remote open roof but i'll also try to code remote close, remote fold mirrors, increase the top opening speed to 40km/h, enable all comfort access features and see what else i can do.

How do you get the software and cable? Total cost? I have a list of coding I would like to do actually.
Video In Motion - Windshield Wipers complete full cycle when ignition is shut off - Remove iDrive [ACCEPT] screen - Remove Seatbelt warning gongs - Unlock doors when key is ejected - Open/Close windows with Key FOB - Allow windows to continue rolling up while door is open TO name a few |

Constant could you please check on whether you can change the way the radiator fan is run, or the temperature that the oil cooler thermostat opens?
Are you able to see stuff like whether there is a launch control counter or other counters? |

I actually was reading some German forum (using google translate) and found a recommendation about this ebay seller. It was 80usd and he ships free. I can get you his website or his ebay account link if you want, but i'd wait to see if mine is actually working. Quote:
REALLY looking for it. Random edit: In the German forum i was reading this one guy successfully flashed the 35is ROM On a 2009 35i.

The mainly reason i got the cable actually is to read/diagnose/erase codes, replacing brake pads etc on my own and to code a replacement battery when needed.

Hi Constant
I'm keen to see what you do. I've never known about this coding stuff and only spent some time researching it today after first reading your post. Seems like it can customize a few things on your car, which is pretty cool. Be careful though as a few threads warned about making your car toast if you did something wrong. Looking forward to you sharing your discoveries. |

Any insights on how techs can "really REALLY" find out about launching hard? This is exciting. thanks for leading the way. Good luck and be careful! |

Well, when i was trying to figure out the launch control i was doing some hard breaking while stepping on it, on the visit the tech asked me if there was an error with the braking system or was i trying to get launch control enabled lol, while he was saying it he looked at the "logs" and saw it was LC somehow. Thanks, if i see things are hard i'll just hire a coder.

As far as I know the BMWhat App is capable of coding some things, I posted a thread lately about it:

Constant, are you running NCS Expert? Where did you find coding examples for E89? Is the coding the same for all N54 engines?

Attached is a complete DIY file. It might seem very very long but it's actually pretty straightforward

Interesting find... Taken from a German forum and translated.. : To increase the speed, closing / opening the roof to 40 km / h that the controller ZCTM be called with NCS Expert and GESCHWINDIGKEIT_E89 of wert_03 be changed to wert_04.
So basically to increase the opening speed of the roof like the newer models just use NCS Expert, go to the ZCTM module and replace the wert_03 to wert_04

A friend of mine coded a bunch of things on my car. Digital speedo, remove iDrive nag screens, change the emergency blinker, fold mirrors with fob and a bunch of other stuff I don't remember right now. From what I remember the car shut down a few times during coding. This appears to be normal, so don't freak out. Some setting changes seem to require a reboot of the car so to speak.

I'm really interested in this. All u really want to do is get the side mirrors to fold and unfold when I use comfort access (which I found is coded the same way as for the key fob). That and installing an aux jack in my 525 and coding an aux selection for it in idrive. Gonna wait till it gets a little warmer tho.

Now, for the BMWhat people, i sent an email to ivini-apps to ask some basic things and told them about the roof opening option location and Parvis replied and told me he will implement it next year. So you guys will be covered as well
