BMW Sport & Comfort Plus coding

We prefer to use the following coding software ESys Ultra, because with it we be able to work without restrictions. Now we come to the exciting part - the actual coding.

Step 1: Establish connection

Make sure that the Ignition switched on and the Motor switched off is. Connect the ENET cable with the OBD socket in the driver's compartment and insert the Ethernet plug into your laptop.

Open ESys Ultra via the „UltraAdmin“ area (preferably the latest version select) and click on the „Connect“ icon.

Choose your Chassis (e.g. „S15A“ for the BMW G01) and set the checkmark in the checkbox below “Connection via VIN” and with “Read parameters from VCM”. Then click on „Connect“.

Step 2: Read out FA & select control unit

Click above under „Vehicle order“ on „Read“ and then at SVT_actual on the button „Reading (ECU)“.

To Sport Plus all the way to Comfort Plus you have to activate a total of Two control units edit. Start with the control unit BDC_BODY2 (the designation may vary slightly depending on the car model).

To do this, make a Right click to the Codingdata CAFD (OBD relevant) and select „Read coding data“.

Then do another Right click to the newly published CAFD file in the folder and click on „Edit NCD“.

Step 3: Change parameters & code NCD

In the long parameter list, first search for „3221 PfFesMaster“.

Then open the corresponding subfolder and change the parameter „FESSportWorldMode1“ from „NotSportExpert“ on „SportExpert“.
The same applies to Comfort Plus: Here you set the parameter „FESComfortWorldMode1“ from „NotComfortPlus“ to „ComfortPlus“ um.

Then click on the top left on „Save“ and then to „Back“, to return to the overview.

Finally, just click once more on the Modified CAFD file and select right „NCD coding“ .

Step 4: Coding the second control unit - Head Unit

The second control unit that needs to be coded is HU_NBT2 (the exact designation may vary slightly depending on the car model). This is the control unit of the Head Unit i.e. your multimedia unit.

The procedure is the same as before in step 2, to access the parameter list for this control unit. Under „3008 FES“ search for the parameters „FES_SPORT_EXPERT“ all the way to „FES_COMFORT_PLUS“ and set both from „not active“ to „active“ um.

At the end save your changes, go back to the overview and code the processed CAFD as before via „NCD coding“ into the vehicle.

Step 5: Restart iDrive

You must restart the iDrive for the coding to take effect. To do this, hold the Volume/off button pressed for about 30 seconds.
After about The iDrive restarts after 20 seconds. You should then have the Sport Plus and Comfort Plus options available in the driving modes.
