How to extract DE (NBT) or 1B (CIC) file to generate FSC code

Here is a little tutorial on how to extract your DE (NBT) or 1B (CIC) file to generate the FSC code.

What you need:
E-SYS F-series coding software
BMW ENET Cable
PSDZData Lite (lite version is fine for FDL coding, you only need the full package if you want to flash ECUs)
Token (not required to reach FSC Extended)

CIC PREMIUM Maps or NBT NEXT Maps
If you are generating maps for NEXT, then you need to follow the guide for DE
If you are generating maps for MOVE, MOTION or PREMIUM, then you need to follow
the guide for 1B


Extracting the DE or 1B file:
Fire up E-­sys make sure your connected to the F20 (not F20_Direct) via your VIN and then in
the left-hand vertical menu select FSC Extended.


For NBT (DE File):
In the Parameter section enter:
1. Diagnostic Address (hex) = 0x63
2. Click on the Identify button and the Base variant HU_NBTwill be populated
3. Application ID for NBT= 0xDE
4. Upgrade Index = 0x1


For CIC (1B File):
In the Parameter section enter:
1. Diagnostic Address (hex) = 0x63
2. Click on the Identify button and the Base variant HU_CICwill be populated
3. Application ID for NBT= 0x1B
4. Upgrade Index = 0x1

In the Action section:
5. Select Store FSC and move from left to the right
6. Click on the Read button
7. Click Save and name the file in the following format XXXXXXX.fsc where XXXXXXX is
last seven letters/numbers of your VIN or your donor NBT vin if you have retrofitted the NBT.
8. [Optional] You can now disconnect e­Sys from your car as the next stages can be
performed offline.


Getting the Code Generation Software:
Unzip the directory attached. The directory can be placed/run from anywhere.


Generating the FSC code using the BMW_CIC_NBT_FSC_Generator for NBT:
If you are generating NBT, copy fsc.exe in the NBT_FSC directory to the tools directory.


1. Place your XXXXXXX.fsc into your tools directory (same location as the Base64.exe)
2. Open a command prompt (DOS Screen) and go to the tools directory
3. Type "Base64 XXXXXXX.FSC XXXXXXX_000DE001.FSC" and press enter
4. Open BMW­FSC­NBT­Generator.exe
5. Click "Browse" and select the XXXXXXX_000DE001.FSC file you generated in step 3, it
should be in your tools directory.
6. Choose your map product from the list (For me it was "Road Map EUROPE NEXT 2015­1)
7. Click "Generate"


Generating the FSC code using the BMW_CIC_NBT_FSC_Generator for CIC:
If you are generating CIC, copy fsc.exe in the CIC_FSC directory to the tools directory.


1. Place your XXXXXXX.fsc into your tools directory (same location as the Base64.exe)
2. Open a command prompt (DOS Screen) and go to the tools directory
3. Type "Base64 XXXXXXX.FSC XXXXXXX_0001B001.FSC" and press enter
4. Open BMW­FSC­NBT­Generator.exe
5. Click "Browse" and select the XXXXXXX_0001B001.FSC file you generated in step 3, it
should be in your tools directory.
6. Choose your map product from the list (Road Map EUROPE PREMIUM 2014­1)
7. Click "Generate"


Preparing the USB stick:
Takes about 45 mins to upload the Maps to your car; make sure you enter the code
in CAPITALS, it has been said that you should have the car on/running during this period. But
for me just pressing the Start button once was enough. Once the update is done, you will get
a success message, wait a few minutes then turn the car on/off and then the version number
will reflect the new map.


NBT
USB stick needs to be FAT32 (32GB is enough) when you extract the map data to the stick
Make sure you extract the folders to the USB root. The folders will be like:
1 (directory)
2 (directory)
3 (directory)
4 (directory)
config.nfm
NBT_ECE_101141.3.111.pkg
NBT_ECE_101141.3.111.pkg.sig


CIC
For the PREMIUM (CIC) maps you will have three directories:
USB1 (directory)
USB2 (directory)
USB3 (directory)
Copy the entire contents of USB1 to the root of the USB stick, should only be the following:
config.nfm
pkgdb (directory)
Once uploaded to the car, the car will ask for USB2. Delete both the config.fm and pkgdb
from the root and repeat the above with USB2....and then again with USB3

Notes:

What happens when NEXT/Premium comes out? You just need to edit the Lookup.xml file with the new map details, just look at the previous entries, its follows a sequence.

Backup your FSC file!!!

Save your XXXXXXX_000DE001.FSC file, you can now just refer to this file and generate as and when the new maps come along. If you lose this file you will need to do the extraction steps again.

BMW X3 E83 2005 Coding Guide with NCS Expert

Car model: BMW X3 E83 year 2005.

You can find lots of information on the internet.  Here describes everything in one place.


Disclaimer: The document is translated from Russian. Everything you do, you do at your own risk! You and only you are responsible for your actions.

There are many different interfaces and software for BMW diagnosis. What to choose?


BMW scanner - a convenient and intuitive interface, displays the runs from different modules, all coding is reduced to ticking.

BMW INPA K + DCAN OBD (USB) - can do everything, works with dealer software.


1. ELM327 WiFi. The most budgetary option. If enough to read the engine and then not all, only for OBDII - it's enough ELM327. I know about a dozen versions of the adapter. The most successful in a small case with a power-off button - its height is about 2 cm from the diagnostic connector.

1a. iOBD2 from XTools (it is important not to be confused with a fake on it - iOBD). Slightly more expensive than option 1. Functionality is similar, but the performance of the devices is better and there is a native free modified very good program for it in the AppStore iOBD2.


2. BMW iOBD2 from XTools. Externally, the adapter is similar to the version 1a, for the functional it is also + diagnostics according to the factory protocols of other BMW systems. Statistics on it a little. The product is very fresh, but interesting. Actually, it became possible to activate it only from August. Today I checked on e39 - most systems took, reads and resets errors, shows real data on the car.


3. iDiag/Easydiag from Launch (there is an option for both iOS and Android). Scans all systems.
Since it is manufactured by a well-known and large manufacturer of diagnostic equipment and, in fact, analogue Launch X431 Diagun or Master for simple users.
 As an added bonus, you can buy AppStore software for several brands of cars (for example, if the family has BMW Mersedes and Rover, then you can buy software for these brands)

All these adapters have the right to live - it depends what the person wants to get from the device and how much money he like to spend.


Why do we need it simply and quickly? It takes a lot and it is interesting). The choice fell on the BMW INPA K + DCAN OBD (USB) with Pin7 & PIN8 switch

We take a laptop and start to put everything according to the instructions. Surprisingly, everything was in accordance with the instructions and ended without problems. We go to the car and then start working.

It was necessary to close 7-8 pins.To connect X3 from 2007, you do not need to connect.

Before work, read all warnings on the disk. You can not start and stop the machine with the cable connected, do not remove the cable with the ignition on and at the time of data transfer.

Coding. 
You must correctly configure the profile.

There is also a ready-made profile. But the MANUAL profile needs to be edited. In the profile, put the data from the CVT, and not from the file. Otherwise, it will swear when writing data. In the .NCSEXPER \ WORK directory there must be a file FSW_PSW.MAN otherwise when you press F6 the program will swear on this file. To do this, create an empty TXT file and rename it to FSW_PSW.MAN.

The ECU has a configuration that NCS Expert reads and writes to the file FSW_PSW.TRC It opens with a notepad and is a list of parameters and a value on / off (in German).


The number of parameters depends on the FA code. The FA code is an encoded car kit containing all information about what is in the car. The FA is located in the AKMB device and the ALSZ light unit. This is a file with a line, which lists all option numbers, separated by the symbol "$". With the FA, you can code the computer or all units with the default settings for your options list. To do this, you must perform the encoding process with the empty FSW_PSW.MAN file.


The general encoding process for any module is described below. In the example, we get the data from the module, rename it, and save it in a safe place. Then we correct the configuration and write back to the computer.


The coding process.

1. Start the NCS-Expert
2. Select the profile manual
3. Press F1 then F3 in the opened window select the body and click OK
in the opened window select from where we will read FA Press OK
in the machines with FA it is in the AKMB device and the light block ALSZ
4. Press F6 Back
5. Press the F4 "Computer selection" button. A list of available computers will appear
(you need to read the data from the GM5 main unit and the blocks you are going to encode.)
6. Select the GM5 block in the list and click OK.
7. We see that GM5 is selected for the encoding, Further 2 ways you can simply press the F4 button "Read the computer", or 8. press F5 "Basic functions" and select coapiReadSgGetFswPsw from the list. After that, the file .NCSEXPER \ WORK creates a file FSW_PSW.TRC, copy it to another folder for safekeeping and rename FSW_PSW_GM5.TRC. You can at home, slowly, look at the settings, and prepare the files to write to the block.
9. Press the button F4 "Computer selection". and repeat the read operation for the other blocks that we are going to encode. After that, the file .NCSEXPER \ WORK creates a file FSW_PSW.TRC with the data from the new block, copy and rename it.
10. In the .NCSEXPER \ WORK folder, open the FSW_PSW.TRC file with a notepad, look for the parameter we need, change its value, and save the file with the extension .MAN (FSW_PSW.MAN)
11. Return to the NCS
and check that JOBNAME = SG_CODIEREN, if not, then change the button F2 "Change operation" by pressing F3 "Encode the computer". The coding process of the computer will begin. If everything went successfully, "Coding OK" will appear.
All coding is complete.



Coding Memory key:
On the supplied disk, the instructions have a file CARKEYMEMORY.pdf with a description of the parameters for a large number of bodies.
1. Download our CAR KEY MEMORY ("File" - "Load Profil")
2. Read the data on the machine. To do this, press the button F1 "VIN / ZCS / FA"
3. Press the F3 "ZCS / FA from the computer" button. We select the body and from where we read the coding data, choose EWS counted
4. press the F6 button "Back"
5. the F5 "CKM" button appeared, we click on the auto and key memory menu, see the list of keys, available functions and parameters
6. Press the "Read" button F1, the I symbol appears in the parameters, it indicates the active parameter. The S symbol indicates the factory default setting. Let's look at the example of the option of smooth light attenuation in the cabin. The active parameter is in aktiv and by default in the same position.
7. If you want to disable the soft fading, select nicht_aktiv and press F2 "Edit". And to save the changes F4 "Transfer."

Only parameters and values ​​will be listed below. You need to read the required module, change the parameters in the file FSW_PSW.TRC, rename it to FSW_PSW.MAN and write it back to the side.

Adding options. 
By the instructions above, we save the files with the original configuration for the AKMB and ALSZ blocks.

Start the NCS Expert
Select the profile manual
Press F1 then F3 in the opened window select the body and click OK
in the opened window choose from where we will read FA press OK
at the machines with FA it is in AKMB device and light block ALSZ
cipher was considered push F2
choose the body
In the input window VIN click OK
The window for entering options appears.
In this window we see a list of already existing options in the car.
1 To add a new option, enter it in the top line so $ 861
2 click the Add
3 button. The option is added to the general list.
To delete options, select it and press the Del key on the keyboard.
4 Press OK
Press F6 Back
Press F4 select the ECU of the light unit to which we write FA
Press F2 Change the operation. Select FA_WRITE (write FA) press OK Press
F3 write FA to the computer.
Press F1 to select the ACMW unit and repeat the FA recording operation for the control unit.
after changing FA you can encode the whole machine and the program will display the required parameter values ​​in accordance with the added option in the FA
to make the changed parameters after the encoding you need to turn off the ignition for a few seconds.

Software deactivation of the passenger presence mat. 
It is better not to do this and replace the mat.

In addition to software shutdown, you must also disable physically using the blende. If the wrong actions can trigger the airbag!

How to create FSCgen for updating BMW navigation

Topic: How to create FSCgen, the opening code for upgrading the BMW F / G / I series navigation.



Tools:

1. BMW Enet cable 

2. Laptop with E-Sys and E-Sys Launcher installed

3. Attach the FSCGen file (unzip it to C: \)



Extraction method

1. Running E-Sys

2. After cable connection (①), go to next screen by FSC_Extend ②

3. Enter 0x63 (③), click Identity (④), confirm that HU_NBT is coming up (⑤)

4. Enter 0xDE (⑥) and 0x1 (⑦) as shown below, then press StoreFSC (FSC Save, ⑧)

5 Click Read button (⑩) and press SAVE button to save as DE, fsc

6. Copy the attached file to 'C: \' and copy the above saved DE.fsc to C: \ FSCgen, then run the window command window and type 'cd \' to move to the root directory Then, enter 'cd FSCGEN' to go to FCSGen, which is the directory saved above.

7. Enter 'nbt, exe DE.fsc 0xA6 0x28 *******' (where ******* is the chassis number of your car)

8. This will launch the program in the command window and generate the system code.


Remember this code and use it in your navigation updates to update your navigation on your own.

The vehicles that can be updated in this way are only available for vehicles with the H-NBT and later F series. The E Series can not be updated this way, and the navigation is actually annoying, but using WoW navigation or teeming is good for mental health.

How to make a BMW E-series Wireless Coding Cable?

Purpose: make a BMW E-series wireless coding/diagnostic cable.

In case of F series, since the cable itself is composed of LAN cable and even the protocol that accepts the signal conforms to the standard of this signal, it is not so difficult to make ENET cable for wireless communication using LAN line. I was able to make the wireless coded cable that I made.

However, in the case of the E-series, called the INPA K+DCAN cable, it was very complicated.

Once the signal received by the computer receives the data using the COM1 port and it also uses the USB cable and the USB port to send and receive signals, it is difficult to modify the signal input method set as the default value in the INPA program. Because it can cause signal loss in lengths of up to 6m or more, it is difficult to solve the problem of wireless, except for the task of wired car and cable with mustard power.

Yesterday, a customer suddenly asked me to diagnose an engine warning light coming up while I was worried. Connect the cable to run the diagnostic program. After curiosity is activated, connect the USB cable between the USB port and the USB port by using the USB terminal – RJ45 LAN terminal <-> RJ45 LAN terminal – I saw. The result is a reliable signal and a faster transfer rate.

After the diagnosis, I came home and started to think about making the following equipment.

As a result, the cable you want to implement is shown in the following picture.

I thought that it would be solved by removing the built-in INPA cable, power input for exporting wireless signal like ipTime, and device for converting USB signal to LAN signal.

I made a decision to make a universal cable that can use both conventional and wired and wireless LAN so that I can use the existing USB cable.

Once the entire system was divided into two parts, the functions of the top and bottom of the case were given different functions.

So it is the bottom plate that I made (BMW scanner v1.4.0 usb interface)

We have already installed the built-in INPA cable and installed the micro USB power input to supply the voltage to the wireless router such as ipTIME that you can use. In the picture, it is not visible on the back, but the 7th pin and the 8th pin are shorted to diagnose and code the old BMW vehicle before 2004, and the switch is attached to enable the diagnosis and the coding of the car after 2004.

And the next picture is the top.

This includes both the RJ45 socket that sends out signals using the LAN line and the two terminals that perform all the functions to send out signals through the USB terminal, which is a conventional INPA cable type, among the devices that transmit the vehicle data. .

Finally, it looks like this:

Now the lower plate and the upper plate are assembled by assembling and have the appearance as the following figure.

There is a toggle switch to cover all BMW new cars placed on the top panel, and the USB signal output, LAN signal output and power output from the bottom left of the picture.

As a result, we succeeded.

The time-consuming part of the above operation was not the soldering quality nor the connection of the circuit, but the work of cutting the shell of the case to a position of the two terminals on the left under the photograph, that is, the RJ45 terminal and the USB terminal.

However, if we can solve the following two problems, we can manufacture a much simpler device and it is possible to commercialize it.

1. Wireless LAN cable connection

At present, it is possible to connect the cable from the cable to the computer as a LAN cable like the BMW F series Enet cable. Now, if you only make it wireless, I think you can provide a convenient wireless working environment like the wireless F series.

The wireless F-series cable accepts signals from the computer itself as a network, so even if you create a wireless network environment, the computer does not have to convert the signal, but the E Series receives the signal through the COM1 port and can not use the computer’s WIFI connection.

2. How to receive and process signals through the COM1 port as network signals

The INPA cable is processing the signal by emulating the USB signal to COM1 from the beginning. If you can get signals received by LAN cable or wireless network as COM1 signal, you can use WIFI signal from all notebooks even if you do not attach RJ45 conversion terminal to your computer’s USB port I think that I can accept and work on it.

NcsExpert changes/codes VIN after FRM2 update

Purpose: write/code VIN after FRM2 update

Car: 330d 2006

Tool: BMW ICOM emulator

Software: NCS expert, Tool32, WinKFP

Tutorial: Upgraded to FRM2 – how do i code it?

The basic steps are:

1. Install FRM2
2. Change FRM2 VIN to yours. Flash FRM2 with WinKFP comfort mode with your VIN. Or use Tool32 to change VIN as above.
2.5. Verify VIN change with Tool32.
3. Copy CAS VO (FA) to FRM with NCSexpert.
4. Change date with NCSexpert.
5. Code to default with NCSexpert.

Exact instructions for each step are discussed and available in the following parts.

It’s very simple.

1. Open Tool32
2. Plug in cable
3. Press F3 and choose the FRM87.prg or whatever FRM you have (see from INPA uif)
4.Select job c_fg_schrieben
5. Enter your FULL VIN (including checksum) into arguments field
6. Execute job

You can check the VIN using job ‘c_fg_lesen’

Once done use NCS EXPERT to copy your CAS FA string to FRM / change date then code to default with expertmode.

Btw, when you enter your VIN you must use FULL VIN. Which is VIN number with a checksum at the end. You can see you full VIN in NCS expert when you do any coding.

Note: Step 2 means you won’t need to use Tool32 at WinKFP can set VIN also…

The basic steps:
1) Remove FRM, install FRM2.
2) Use WinKFP to program the module, make sure to enter your VIN-number before programming.
3) Switch to NCS-EXPERT. Get your Vehicle Order from the CAS module (as we are unsure of what the FRM2 module contains.
4) Write the Vehicle Order to module “FRM” using job “FA_WRITE”
5) Go back to the main menu (or restart ncs-expert) and get the vehicle order from the “NFRM” module. Make sure NFRM returns YOUR VIN and YOUR VO. We want the VIN (FG) and VO (FA) to be the same in both CAS and NFRM.
6) You now need to do the trick described by 4711 a couple of posts back, i.e. change the production date in the VO to at least #0307. If you don’t do this, ncs-expert will not list NFRM (=FRM2) in the “Process ECU”-list and you won’t be able to code it. Change the VO using the “Enter FA” option – remove your production date and enter #0307 (meaning march 2007).
7) Now click “Process ECU” and select “NFRM”

Then just code to default with expert mode.

Error message: I get message after reading all ECU’s
“Programming is not possible”
If I click this message away I can just continue.

I have: bin, binx64, host, hostx64
But which files/maps must be located in map PSdZ?

Solution 1:

Try it with the BLP data so the folder “data” under C / Rheingold / PSdZ / data ..
Of course, in the Reg also specify that the data is available but still as you have made everything on “false” ..

you unpack the BLP under C / Rheingold / PSdZ / and you get the folder “data” ..
So C / Rheingold / PSdZ / data ..

Reg:

“Product Version” = “4.10.30.15635”
“Main Product Version” = “4.10”
“Data version” = “10/04/31”
“DataVersion_en-GB” “04/10/31”
“Logistic Base Version” “10/04/30”
“SWIData” = “04/10/30”

“BMW.Rheingold.Programming.ExpertMode” “True”
“BMW.Rheingold.Programming.Enabled” = “True”
“BMW.Rheingold.Programming.PsdzDataPath” = “.. \\ .. \\ .. \\ \\ PSdZ data_swi”

If it doesn’t work, try the following solution. It works for someone in earlier version.

Solution 2:

In earlier versions this worked:
“BMW.Rheingold.Programming.ExpertMode”=”False”
“BMW.Rheingold.Programming.Enabled”=”False”
“BMW.Rheingold.Programming.PsdzDataPath”=”..\\..\\PSdZ\\data”

Have not tried on latest.

P.S. BLP must be installed normally into data folder. No need to create any empty folders.

Still had psdz path set to data_swi. You must adjust it to be data instead of data_swi when no sdp installed. Then it should not complain and work. BLP data MUST be installed in all cases.

Solution 3:

Create empty folders
С:\Rheingold\PSdZ\data
С:\Rheingold\PSdZ\data_swi

How to replace BMW F11 engine control unit?

Case

- replace the used engine module to F11 2012, because the original was totally dead after incorrect power connection during chip-tuning and remained forever in the parking lot. as a consequence of the lack of communication on the table with the processor in the boot mode.


Tool:

BMW ICOM A2/ICOM Next emulator with ISTA-D ISTA-P programming software



How to:

1. Readout of the immo CAS4 data

2. After reading the data, it became clear that CAS4 EWS5 crypto.

3. Next decode CAS4 memory to obtain the synchronization code.

4. Entry of received synchronization code into the new-used DDE741 engine ecu.

5. Change of three VIN codes in the new-used engine control unit.

6. Zeroing the mileage in the new-used engine controller because the mileage in it was 116335km, and in the car 227140km.
