How to find BMW F-series current I-level with ENET E-sys coding cable

What is an I-level (integration level)?
 
TheI-Level (German:I-stufe) is the Integration Level of your car, which represents a package of firmwares for all your modules, and it corresponds to the version of ISTA/P last used to program your vehicle.
 
The I-level is a set of numbers:like E89X-11-09-410. The first part represents the chassis group, which is followed by theyear and month of the release and a build number for that release. So, E89X-11-09-410 would mean a E80/E90, 09/2011,version 410.
 
BMW owners will be able to check/find their car I-level with BMW coding cable, like BMW ENET E-SYS coding cable.
 
Equipment:
ENET (Ethernet to OBD) Interface Cable, like €13 in obdtool.co.ukBMW E-SYS ICOM F-Series coding software
A laptop running Win XP operating system
 
With proper E-sys cable, you can check to see if the vehicle you are connected to has the ISTA/P v2.54.2 or v2.54.3 version of software.
 
 
Check the level of firmware installed in the F-series chassis BMW. Refer the cable list above first Connect the ENET E-sys coding cable with vehicle via OBD socket Click the Expert Tab on the far left menu bar
Select the VCM Module tab Locate the VCM ‘Master’ tab Locate the I­-Steps section Click Read.
 
This will then show you the current I-level on the vehicle. If the I-level matchesthe ISTA/P Version for Px.54.2 under your specific chassis, you have theaffected firmware.

BMW Scanner 1.4.0 VS 2.0.1 VS 2.20 K+Dcan

Every BMW owner knows BMW Scanner series, especially BMW Scanner1.4.0car diagnostic tool for its low cost and high efficiency, do all kind of stuff including very easy coding. Here I would like to make a comparison between the three popular devices, they are BMW Scanner 1.4.0,BMW Scanner 2.0.1 and BMW Scanner 2.20 K+Dcan.
 
Vehicle models they support:
 
I know 1.4.0 supports models:
 
E38(7')
E39(5')
E46(3')
E53(X5)
E83(X3)
E85(Z4)
 
and 2.0.1 supports:
 
E60/E61(5')
E63/E64(6')
E65-E68(7')
E70/E71(X5/X6)
E81/E82/E87/E88(1')
E90-E93(3')
 
BMW Scanner 2.20 k+Dcansupports the same models, or it support more earlier moddels like 1.4.0. and that is the difference between 2.0.1 versus 2.20 k+Dcan in function range, coding ant etc. 2.20 k+Dcan to work on newer models need to remove pin 8 from obd connector,
 
Some info got that here is the quote from a BMW thread:
 
"Since 2006/03, BMW use" Dcan", means that diagnosis use no KL15, so as GT1,need to change the OBDII cable.
 
The old OBDII cable cannot use on cars which was assembled after 2006/03.
 
And Since SOP 2008/09, you must remove pin 8 then you can do everything."
 
Coding:
 
When I first used BMW Scanner 1.4 I fell in love from first time use until i startedusing more and more and i got disappointed with it (Incorrect Index) When I first used Scanner 2.xx I always keep in Mind CAS - Bricking When I first Used INPA-Suit i used DIS along with Progman..... Until i bought a Car just too learn how to code with INPA-Suit since CarSoft BMW messed up during
Service Reset, and after a Week of Loading, translating, reading, trying I learned.... after few more cars I learned been faster.
 
Conclusion:
 
1.4 is VARY SIMPLE
2.x VARY Complicated
Both of them are limited.
Hope this helps.

DIY program BMW E46 key with AK90 key programmer

Back Story:
So when i first got my E46 325 convertible it came with 1 key (diamondshape) this worried me, i asked dealer local to me who sniggered and said itwould be a "£150 custom order from Germany” to get another one. Not immediatelyneeding one and slightly knocked back i declined and was back to square one..
I did hours of reading about it from all across the internet and now ihave located the correct method for achieving a key and much cheaper.
Being a software developer/ general techie by trade i was not put off bythe challenge!
Tools needed:
o New unprogrammed key internals + chip (the chip is important)- I got fromeBay (£20 delivered – took 1 and half weeks)
o Key case (new)-£3.20 delivered
o Key cut (for the lock of car) – Local key smith £6
Thats allyou need..
So already thats a total of: £75ish saving you aprox £100
Step 1: Remove the EWS Module (or immobilizer module from the car)
This is located here under the steering wheel of the car behind all theplastic trim:
 
What you need to do is remove 2 screws (possibly 3) mine might have beenmissing 1 so check all along the trim:
 
Once undone the trim panel should pull down.. like this:
If you stick your head up inside there you should see a white box this isyour EWS or immobilizer unit for the car:
 
this is what we need to take out of the car.. it is held in by 2 plastic 10mm nuts on a clever but very fiddly to get at bracket. Once both bolts are undone the unit should just hang down.
The is a black plug on one side of the unit you need to push down on the tab and it should slide out.. here is the plug so you can see how that works:
 
Thats it.. you should now have the EWS unit out of the car this is all youneed:
 
Step 2: Software Install
I have provided the software i used with the AK90 programmer over at my downloads page here:
Edit: I have had reports the software didnt open correctly so i have provided another setup..
Download and extract to a folder where you can see/use it for example your desktop
The first step is to plugin the AK90 using the provided usb cable windows should automatically detect and start drive install (im using Win 7) the unit will beep dont worry. It will fail on driver install at this stage thats only so we have the unit plugged in ready to be installed.
Run: AK90+ setup.exe hit next and install to default path.
Once finished you should see two icons appear on desktop:
 
At this stage you need to install the drivers and make the drive work sohit:
CP210x_USB.exe
Follow the install to the end and make sure "Launch the CP210x VCP driverinstaller” is selected, hit install and ok.
Replug the AK90 windows will now say the driver is installed.
Make sure to restart your pc to confirm the drivers/software install.
Step 3: Open Software and read key
Double click the AK90 icon on your desktop, the software should launch andyou should hear it beep and click a few times.
This is good it means the computer has found the device on the com portand we are ready to go!
 
Lets test your key, place this in the slot in the AK90 programmer likethis:
 
In my case this is the garage key/valet key im programming just to showeveryone how to do it, i originally did this with the diamond key i purchasedthe process is the same.
Go back to the software and select "test key” this will read the data fromthe key and a box like this will pop up:
 
So as you can see the device has worked out its a key for EWS3/4 anddoesnt currently have a VIN or any mileage data.. this is good it proves its ablank virgin key.
Here is my current diamond key tested(with my vin cut out):
 
So we have proved the device works and is talking to our computer nowwhat? its time to program our blank key to the module we took out earlier.
Step 3: Connecting the EWS module to programmer
Take your EWS unit and open the top, this folds open like this:
 
The circuit board is held on the far side by the black plug the is 4 bitsyou have to push in and slide the unit out:
 
Now we take the connector wire for the programmer and carefully attachthis onto the circuit board, in this case the wire has a big red dot on it. Weneed to line this up with the dot on the chip:
 
What i did was made sure that the connection between the chip and theconnector was at its best is to make sure that every pin on the circuit boardis bare metal. I scratched gently with a small blade/screw driver to make theconnection good.
Make sure you note down the chip type in my case it is: OD46J (thisis important)
And then connected the wire
 
Connect the other end to the AK90..
Step 4: the actual programming
Open up the AK90 software which should still be open from earlier andclose the test key box you should just have a software screen that looks like:
 
With the blank key out of the slot and the EWS unit connected:
Select your chip type from the drop down that you noted down earlier minewas: OD46J
 
Hit read EWS a warning message will appear double check you haveeverything connected and hit ok
 
Once donea save dialogue will appear just save this file to your desktop,basically this is a backup of the data from the chip
You should see a screen of random letters and numbers:
 
This is the EWS data we have collected from the module..
If you hit EWS analyse this reads the data and tells you what keys arebeing used, mileage and the VIN number.
 
This is the screen where you can disable and enable current keys (handy ifyou lost one)
Press exit and lets program a new key!
You should be at the main screen with all the numbers and letters on,place your virgin/new key into the slot on the AK90 and select write key
a screen should pop up:
 
This is where you select the key slot you wish to write this in my casethat would be key slot 7 (no idea where the other 4 keys are! i only have 3)
Select the slot and select write key you will get a warning making surethat you have placed key in slot just select yes (obviously making sure the keyis in the slot first!)
 
The device will make some chirping noises and beeps as it writes to EWSunit:
 
After aprox 1-2mins you should see confirmation that the keys data iscoded
 
Press OK a new box will pop up:
 
Select the chip type from earlier (see the warning i told you this wasimportant!
AK90 is now coding the key back into the EWS!
Wait for aprox 1-2mins and you should see:
 
Press ok, thats it you have coded your ews data to the key and then backto the ews unit.
Id recommend testing the key now again (hit test key)
Step 5 ut EWS unit back into car
Same process as before but in reverse.. can be a bit fiddly but stick atit..
What i did was place the EWS unit back in place and with my other hand puteach nut on finger tight and then fully tightened up with a small socket

How to Use Benz Vediamo Variant Coding function

Mercedes Benz Vediamo engineering software can project any online car program, setting code, change the SA Code function. The Vediamo V5.05 software can only worked with WIFI MB SD Connect Compact 4 diagnostic system. Following are detail instruction on doing Variant coding function with Vediamo.Well install Vediamo V5.05 software and then go to Variant coding sectionThe current state of the variant coding can be read and modified with Ecoute. Proceed as follows:–Select Coding / Variant coding in the Ecoute main menu.–The variant coding dialog is openedIf preconditions for variant coding are specified in the system description for the current ECU variant, these are executed when the window is opened. If services with input parameters are specified as preconditions, an appropriate dialog is displayed in which the user can enter the parameters.Current CodingThe current coding string from the ECU is read and displayed when the dialog is opened. Fragments and values (max. 4 lines) matching the coding are displayed in a list field. If the coding is not found in the parameterization, "unknown” is entered under values.The coding string can be displayed either in decimal or hexadecimal format depending on the setting in Vediamo.ini. The coding string format is specified by the "VarCodStringFormat” entry in the [ECOUTE] section of Vediamo.ini. This entry can have the value "Decimal” or "Hexadecimal”. The value "Decimal” means that the coding string is displayed in decimal form. The value "Hexadecimal” means the coding string is displayed in hexadecimal form. The coding string is in decimal format by default.SelectionAll parameterized fragments of the selected service are displayed along with their values in this section of the dialog. The filed Coding string contains no values when the dialog is opened. As soon as a value is selected from the list, the corresponding coding string is displayed immediately. In addition, the difference between the current coding string and the selected coding string is evaluated and the position where the two strings differ is marked with the numerical value of the difference (decimal: absolute value of the difference of the two values; hexadecimal: bitmask of changed bits).Externally parameterized coding fragments: Coding fragments which are parameterized by way of external files (ccf suffix), are denoted in the dialog by the suffix (ex).Save to FileThe variant coding can be stored in a snapshot file by clicking this buttonCloseClicking this button closes the variant coding dialog. After the button is pressed, any postconditions regarding variant coding included in the system description are executed, in the same way as the preconditions described above. If the option shut down cycle for coding is activated in the VSB and coding was performed in Ecoute, the shut down cycle dialog is then opened. The dialog prompts the user to turn the ignition off and then on again.Manual CodingClicking on the button Manual coding opens a dialog, in which the coding string can be edited manuallyThe coding string in the edit field is taken from the selection field. If the selection field does not contain a string, the coding string is taken from the field of the current coding string. The user can edit the coding string and execute the variant coding by clicking on the ECU-Coding button. The dialog is closed without coding by clicking on the button "Close”.You have the possibility of naming your own coding strings and storing them in a list (Add to list button). Strings in the list can also be deleted (Delete button). The compiled list can be stored in a file (Save file), or previously compiled lists can be loaded from a file (Open file). This is particularly useful when the number of combinations is very high and working with your own selection lets you work more effectively.The coding string loaded from the file is displayed in a decimal or hexadecimal format, according to the parameter VarCodStringFormat in the file Vediamo.ini. The format in which the string is stored in the file might be decimal, hexadecimal or even mixed (p.e. "123 001 5D 7F 111″) and it has no influence on the display and entering format.http://www.eobdtool.co.uk/wholesale/latest-version-mb-sd-connect-compact-4-star-diagnosis.html
