My Ride: '04 545i Sport 6 speed
![Default](https://5series.net/forums/images/icons/icon1.gif)
Hello everyone, I'm new to this forum and BMWs and I want to thank everyone for contributing to this forum, it's been really helpful to me. I finally got around and coded my 545, NCS expert seemed too complicated at first and it took me a while to get comfortable with and I wanted to share my results.
Coded the following and worked:
CAPPL:
LEGAL_DISCL (No legal notice on IDrive startup)
nicht_aktiv
VA_SEATCLIMA_SHORTCUT (Seat heater display comes up in iDrive when heat button pushed)
aktiv
VA_SEATHEAT_SLIDER (Seat heat hi-med-low slider in iDrive)
aktiv
FL_UND_NSW_NICHT_GLEICHZ (Allow High beam and fog lamps on at same time)
nicht_activ
BC_DIGITAL_V (digital speedometer is cluster)
aktiv
KOMFORTSCHLIESSUNG_FB (Close windows via key FO![Cool](https://5series.net/forums/images/smilies/imported/cool.gif)
aktiv
GEBL_ANZEIGE_AUTO (Climate fan speed display via orange light around manual speed knob)
aktiv
Not working:
VA_CORNERINGLIGHT (Cornering lights menu. Lights come at low speed turns, with turn signals and in reverse.)
aktiv
shows up in idrive and when I click on it to enable the check mark disappears right away not sure why, anyone had this issue? btw can someone explain what this does anyway ?
I also noticed that music doesn't start where it left off anymore, it starts at the beginning of the song whenever I unlock and start the car. Is this a feature that can be enabled somewhere ?
Also can the seat belts chime be disabled on '04 e60, I couldn't find specific code maybe I missed it so I apologize if it's been posted already

Hi, for the bulb error codes - Do I need to code nitch_aktiv to both cold and warm as well as error check parameters ? The reason I'm asking was I tried to code the Cold check only and got errors while executing jobs.
After reading so much useful information on this forum I figured I needed to post some results of my coding. I own a 530i E61 LCI MY2009 which is nicely equipped and contains a lot of modules to code
After ordering my cable here(http://www.one-stop-electronics.com/...&product_id=16) it took about 3 weeks to arrive in excellent shape. YES, you can buy cheaper cables, but I didn't want to risk frying a module for the difference of 40 bucks.
With the help of NCSEXPERT and a wonderful DIY (use google to find it) I've read for hours and hours. I've got the cable for a week now and these are my codings, all successful on my car.
CAS:
KOMFORT_EJECT (when engine running, stops engine and unlocks keyfeb by holding start/stop button)
aktiv
KGM:
BEIKLAPPEN_B_KOMFORTSCHL (fold up mirrors on holding close button remote)
aktiv
KOMBI:
BC_DIGITAL_V (digital speedometer is cluster)
aktiv
IHKA:
GEBL_ANZEIGE_AUTO (Climate fan speed display via orange light around manual speed knob)
active
HUD:
BLINKER_AUSSTATTUNG (turn signals in HUD)
aktiv
M_SPORT_HUD (part 1/3 for showing M Hud rev counter in HUD)
aktiv
CIC (CAPPL in older cars):
HUD_M (part 2/3 for showing M Hud rev counter in HUD)
aktiv
CIC_MDRIVE (part 3/3 for showing M Hud rev counter in HUD)
aktiv
HVAC_POPUP_SEATCLIMATE (pops up setting screen in idrive of seat heater after pressing button)
aktiv
ACOUSTICAL_LOCK_CONFIRM (makes birp sound when open/close, not standard on EU cars, needs activation in idrive after coding to work)
nicht_aktiv
LMA:
WL_NSW (Fog lamps come on slowly with Angel Eyes when opening, lights in auto mode)
soft_einschalten
This PWM_ changes the voltage of the normal AE lights and prevents the ugly dimming, even DRL are brighter now. This is a cheap solution and way better then HID, LED etc. It still looks OEM, but a lot brighter!
PWM_AN_SL_V_AL_1_34
wert_01
Other options:
wert_01 13,2v
wert_02 aus
wert_03 13,0v
wert_04 13,2v
wert_05 7,7v
wert_06 7,2v = Standard (Almost no light)
wert_07 13,0v
wert_08 12,7v
Because it's a E61 LCI it has OEM LCI LED lights, except for braking. I retrofitted bulb replace LED braking lights which will all throw error codes on iDrive, despite promising adds on OBD proofing. After switching all of these to "nicht_aktiv" the car is error free.
Weird as it is I needed to disable the _BLK_H also to be able to use the leds without errors.
By the way, forget SMD LED, get "high power leds 7,5w" looking like this: Sample
These codes disable error codes
KALTUEBERWACHUNG_BLK_H_L
nicht_aktiv
KALTUEBERWACHUNG_BLK_H_R
nicht_aktiv
WARMUEBERWACHUNG_BLK_H_L
nicht_aktiv
WARMUEBERWACHUNG_BLK_H_R

WARMUEBERWACHUNG_BL_M_1
nicht_aktiv
FEHLERMELD_CC_RL_BL_2_L

FEHLERMELD_CC_RL_BL_2_R

Hope this helps anyone searching for nice codings. If you live in Holland near Utrecht and want some of these as well, contact me.

HI BlaSTiWi,
I checked and believe I have LM1
. I really want to get rid of that ugly highbeam DRL . What options do i have? Can i just buy a new LMA (LM2) light control unit and swap out the current one. Is it just plug and play or would i need to do any additional wiring? Also, Have you done bulb errors by pass coding for LED bulbs? I try to disable to cold checks but the coding process failed with error COAPI-1142: PSW faulty ....nitch_aktiv ..I have to clear the .MAN file to get connected with NCS again. Thanks
I checked and believe I have LM1

Try to check and make sure you have the correct spelling of nicht_aktiv, maybe?

I think it was just a typo in my reply but I'll double check. Thanks. So, do you know if i can code something to get rid of that DRL. Is it possible to just have the regular night time driving light on always as DRL? Thanks.

I'm not very experienced in coding yet to answer that question as an expert, but considering my results I would assume that it isn't related. :-)

oh, I understand it now. I guess I will need to do both. You won't be able to tell if a bulb ever bad or not anymore after coding right?
The cold check is only executed at startup and the warm check at stopping the engine, I did them in one action and didn't have any errors. Be aware to disable the warm and cold check for _BL_M_ also, this is the 3rd braking light and these are all in the same check circuit evaluating my results.
