BMW E-Sys Installation Guide

Step-by-Step Installation:

  1. Run "\\E-sys 3.18.4\E-Sys_Setup.exe" to install the program to "C:\EC-Apps\ESG\E-Sys\E-Sys.exe".
    (If prompted, use the install password: lo8F3lsVVg).
  2. Copy the "EDIABAS" folder from "\\E-sys 3.18.4\E-sys 3.18.4\EDIABAS" to "C:\EDIABAS".
  3. Ensure "C:\EDIABAS\Bin\EDIABAS.INI" is set to Interface = ENET.
    (If it has a different value, change it accordingly).
  4. Copy the "est" folder from "\\E-sys 3.18.4\est" to "C:\ESysData\e-sys\est".
  5. Copy all "psdzdata" subfolders (all 7 folders) from "\\2_46.3\psdzdata\" to "C:\ESysData\psdzdata\".
  6. Copy the contents of "C:\ESysData\psdzdata\swe" into "C:\ESysData\SWE".
  7. Verify that a "Dist" folder exists in each chassis directory (e.g., "C:\ESysData\psdzdata\mainseries\F010\F010_12_03_511\odx\dist").
    (If missing, create an empty "Dist" folder).
  8. Turn on your car's auxiliary power (engine off) and connect the car using an OBDII-Enet Interface Cable.
    (Wait for the network adapter icon to show a connection with a yellow exclamation point).
  9. Launch "C:\EDIABAS\Hardware\ENET\ZGW_SEARCH.exe" to verify the cable and connection.
    (It should display IP Address, MAC Address, and VIN, confirming communication with the car).
    (Note: On 64-bit Windows, ZGW_SEARCH.exe may not display results, but as long as the wired network adapter gets an IP address, it's fine).

Connecting to E-Sys:

  1. Run "C:\EC-Apps\ESG\E-Sys\E-Sys.exe" (it may take time to write the log file).
    • Go to OptionsSettings.
    • On the ODX tab, set ODX Rule Path to "C:\ESysData\Rules".
    • On the EST tab, set Developer-Soft-Token EST Path to "C:\ESysData\est\Code Away.est".
  2. Click the Connect button in E-Sys.
    • Select the target vehicle (e.g., TargetSelector: Project=F020_12_03_503m VehicleInfo=F020).
    • Note: The target vehicle for the F30 chassis is F20.
  3. Select Connection via VIN and click Connect.
    (A confirmation window should pop up for a successful connection).
    (E-Sys will remember "Connection via VIN" for future connections).
  4. For the first connection, enter the E-Sys PIN: 2690.
  5. Refer to other guides for coding procedures.

Miscellaneous Tips:

  • Some modules take time to activate changes (e.g., trunk and mirror close). If changes don't apply after an hour, try recoding the module.
  • Share any undocumented coding findings with the community.
  • If coding for more than 30 minutes, keep the car connected to a charger to avoid battery drain.
