ouch, then it wont be a 10 minute fix for me to bring you the trace then

Georgieb, do you have any guide of what you issues you faced coding-wise so that I can prepare myself for that. My CIC is on the way and I have decided to all by myself. Its not like I am saving much but not taking professional services of those experts but I am quite keen to do it myself (unless I am totally stuck) out of sheer interest and satisfaction. Don't know for some reason all the threads on CIC has become a marketing tool for a few experts defeating the exact purpose of knowledge-sharing concept of forums.

You have been very helpful on other bits on other CIC thread. Thanks for that.

Georgieb

AI001, Thanks for the kind words. At the time I swapped my CCC for the CIC last year, I was not responsible for any of the coding or setups that ensued afterwards. All setups were done to the CIC before it was shipped and all subsequent coding was done remotely by Patryk. I took care of the hardware install and Patryk took care of all the software mods. Everything went off without so much as a hitch and he was very helpful and obviously knew what he was doing, inside-out. In addition he also enabled a few key features in some other modules within the car. Subsequently over the course of the winter I sent my CIC back to Patryk so that it could be updated to the latest firmware in order to accommodate the Combox install which I completed this spring.

I developed an interest in doing my own coding this year and started researching NDSExpert to a great extent over the course of the last two months. Given that Patryk continues to do this as a business I did not want to step on his toes by trying to gather information from him which may have been proprietary and/or confidential in his eyes. I have always respected the fact the he must have invested countless hours, extensive resources and money into this and it would certainly have not been fair to him to exploit his knowledge and potentially put his business at risk by asking him for information and then posting it on-line.

Everything I have learned in the last while has been through my own research and through the help of others in the forums. I guess you could say, I did not want to have to rely on Patryk for some of the rudimentary aspects of coding and in addition his time has been very limited as of late.

To answer your question, most of the initial issues I faced code-wise had more to do with understanding how NCSExpert worked, understanding the function of the FSC_PSW.TRC and FSC_PSW.MAN files, how to dump firmware from the modules and back them up prior to changing code, how to program the modules etc etc etc. Given that I had a CCC and NCSEXpert used the manufacture date code of my car along with my VIN, it took some understanding to realize why the CIC module was not available in the module list and what it took to get it there.

Thus far I have successfully enabled the following:

In addition I am completing the LCI Headlight upgrade this weekend which will include the new LMA module. Once I code this with original flash I will then update the following:

The last phase will be to update parameters in the CIC such as:

I will also be enabling Video in Motion in the CIC and although I have not seen it discussed in these forums very much it has certainly been beaten to death over at BMWCoding.com. I could post a how-to for that here if needed.

In addition I plan to further investigate and attempt to find comparative coding changes for the CIC which are currently already published for the CAPPL. These include:

In would also be great if we could figure out how to get Internet-in-Motion working as this one would be a great benefit also.

Here are some more cool coding options:

I've posted the VIM for the CIC in one of the CIC thread here ,, just copy the files to your daten folder , recode the CIC with blank MAN file .. and that's it ..your VIM is ready to go ..

you mentioned

Module: CAS
HOME COMFORT (The ignition key must be touched only briefly to the ignition to start the car)
aktiv

what does it really do ???

also regarding the Welcome light ,, you need these ones too

WELCOME_LIGHT_ACTIVE nicht_aktiv -> aktiv
DEF_WELCOMELIGHT_CKM nicht_aktiv -> aktiv
UNP_WELCOMELIGHT_CKM nicht_aktiv -> aktiv
WELCOMELIGHT_CKM_0 nicht_aktiv -> aktiv
WELCOMELIGHT_CKM_1 nicht_aktiv -> aktiv
WELCOMELIGHT_CKM_2 nicht_aktiv -> aktiv
WELCOMELIGHT_CKM_3 nicht_aktiv -> aktiv

AI001

Good stuff, thanks for sharing all the options. I have enabled most of them (rest was't appropriate for me)

For online while driving see post #3 from BLooD. Its dangerous btw. :-)

Georgieb

Ehssan,
Thanks for the CIC file. As it turns out mine is a *C09 so I may mod it myself but I'll check to be sure...

With regards to HOME COMFORT, it just allows you to depress your start button very briefly as apposed to holding it for a second or two for the engine to start. Ironically I was in the middle of doing some coding tonight whiles completing my LCI upgrade and could not find this line of code in my CAS module dump....Hmmm..

Cheers

Georgieb

AI001,
The information that Blood posted earlier in this thread pertains to the CCC CAPPL Module and not the CIC Module I was referring to. I should have been more clear. Although Video in Motion for the CIC is now known (Previously some people charged as much as $200.00 to do this), Internet in Motion is not public knowledge for the CIC as of yet.

Using this to actually browse whiles driving would be dangerous for sure but the ability to at least have the webpage up as apposed to a stupid warning page is probably no worse than Video in Motion. This would work well for the Weather network website or Sports Scores etc.

Cheers

Ehssan

there are couple of files in the zip files I've posted ,, C09 is there in my zip file , download the attachment ,, rename it to .zip and you are ready to go ,
