How to import BMW FSC code with ICOM ISTA-P

This the user manual to help import enabling codes (FSC) with BMW ICOM ISTA/P programming software.

Requirement

– BMW ICOM A2 + ISTA-P

– ZIP archive file with:

• release code (FSC) file (.xml)

e.g., FZ38042_00020001.xml

• certificate file (.der)

e.g., FZ38042_00020001.der

– Media to copy the files on

• USB stick (recommended)
• CD-ROM media and CD/DVD burner
• Floppy disc

Important Notes

1. This import function neither writes the code to the vehicle nor activates the associated function in the vehicle.

The activation will be requested during the measures plan realization.

2. When using a USB stick ensure, that it’s formatted as a removable disc (usually default format). Otherwise the stick will not be recognized by ISTA/P.
3. The FSC file (.xml) & the certificate file (.der) need to be extracted on the media. Do not copy the ZIP archive file on the media.

Procedures:

Select Data management

Select Import activation code and click Import

Insert the media (e.g. USB stick) in ISSS and click OK

Select VIN

Check that the certificate is present. If the certificate column reads not fitted, the .der file is missing on the media and it’s impossible to activate.

Click Start Import

Done!

Patched Ediabas 7.3 (16.1 MB)

Password: beemerboy88
Compatible with BMW ICOM A2/A (original or clone), K+DCAN USB or ENET cable

First, complete all installation with the following instructions

1. Disable your anti virus & firewall & run the network configuration tool “NetworkTool.exe”

note: may take a few seconds for tool to appear & up to 30 seconds to complete.

Then check in network connections that the USB network connection has appeared.

note: if network config tool does not work correctly then use the procedure below (mainly applies to non-English systems).

a)Rename the newly created adapter to USB and disable
b)Right click on USB > properties. Select Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) > properties.
c)Manually change ip to 169.254.0.8 & subnet mask to 255.255.0.0 > ok > close.

2. Install .net framework 2 & 4 (loader will crash if .net framework 2 & 4 are not installed).
   How to install NET Framework 3.5,3.0,2.0 on Win8

To install .NET Framework 3.5 or the previous 3.0 and 2.0 .NET Frameworks on Windows 8, perform the following:

Open the Control Panel (Open Explorer, select your computer, then on the Computer ribbon select Control Panel).

Select the Programs and Features control panel applet.

Select the Turn Windows features on or off action

Select .NET Framework 3.5 (includes .NET 2.0 and 3.0), then click OK.

Windows Update will be connected to for some content and the feature will be installed.

3. Install Java runtime (loader will crash if Java is not installed).4. Install patched Ediabas 7.3.
   5. Set up your Ethernet adapter as shown in screenshot below (applies to BMW ENET cable & BMW ICOM multiplexer only. If you only intend using INPA K+DCAN then you can skip this step).

6. Copy loader to desktop.7. Start the loader and choose your required settings and enter some dealerdata.
   note: ensure ISTA/P is installed on your system. If no ISTA/P installation is found, the loader will not start up (also ensure that you delete any old ISTA-P folders before using the loader).

Second, use with ICOM a2 diagnostic system

1. Disable your anti virus, firewall & turn off WIFI.
   2. Connect ICOM a2 to car and PC. Wait for a minute or two.
   3. Start loader, click BMW, Mini, or Rolls Royce brand. ISTA/P will now launch.
   4. Select your ICOM in connection manager.

You can change ip icom http://169.254.58.8:60080 after update ICOM systems, which will make mad and very fast operation. Also everything works.

BMW ICOM E-sys disable M5 Active Sound Design ASD

Here are two ways to disable Active Sound Design on M5 by coding with BMW ICOM A2 + E-sys interface, or by removing the ASD module from the trunk.

Method 1 – coding with BMW ICOM emulator

Connect to your car

Choose target chassis F010

Read FA

Read SVT

Right click on the ASD module -> “Read Coding data”

then right click on the CAFD and “Edit”.

Enter your PIN and edit the following parameters: (Disable Active Sound Design Values)

Save the changes, click back, “Activate FA” and “Code FDL”

Disabling ASD complete.

Note: This mod should work on all BMW F10 M5 cars

Method II – removing the ASD Module

Turn down the back seat. You have to remove the covers on the floor (the big one) and the left one. You also have to lift the rubber seal a little beat so that you can remove the backplane.

Almost everything is fixed with press buttons which you can remove safely. Finally you can use them again to put everything together.

After you remove the left cover you have access to the ASD module. Just unplug the connector and fix it with a cable strap.

We’re currently working on a switch/button to enable/disable ASD from the rear trunk

ASD with the original exhaust is fine.

Conclusion:

It is pretty invasive and done by removing the ASD module from the trunk; while it`s much easier to disable ASD by coding with E-sys software and the car will remain stock, in case you want to sell it you can always revert back to the default settings in 5 minutes. Some people like the feeling of having your head under the hood, and the sound gets even louder when changing on Sport and Sport+ modes.
