I wanted to upgrade my software version. I believe I have something either in the 12 or 13 range. My only real problems are that my RDS sometimes unchecks itself for some reason and I have to check it in order for it to work and the antitrap error every so often. The real reason I want to get it is so that I dont have to hit the accept screen to enter the radio menu. Also I was wondering if anyone that goes to either Rallye BMW or Bayside BMW knows if they have version 19. Thanks.

Programming/Coding Explanation September 2005
Technical Service

SUBJECT
Release Notes CIP 19.0 and CIP 19.1

MODEL
All

SITUATION
CIP 19.0 and CIP 19.1 have been released. Certain errors may occur during installation or usage.

CAUSE
Software error

COMPLAINT
The following issues are currently known:

"Back" button is missing after the "Change" button in the menu bar has been selected.

E90: The programming of RAD2 Professional is shown in the final report with error 2020 (control unit not responding). Coding has error 1000 (general error).

E90: MASK-S is not displayed as programmed in the final report and error 7022 (CoApi control unit communication problem) is displayed.

E65: The CAR settings cannot be coded when attempting to reset the CKM values to the default values.

E83 / E85: A "Code" button appears for DME variants that are not codeable. The attempt to code the control unit fails with the message "No further measures".

The incorrect CIP version may be displayed on the "Online update" screen following a JET Stream update.

GT1 may lock up after selecting the "Update software" button.

E60, E63, E64: CCC-A and CCC-BO abort programming. The following error messages are shown: "7022 / 7032 / 7042 / 7098 (CoApi) - Control unit/programming system communication problem". and "1000 (CoApi) - General error".

Error message (code=45093, Msg=45084) appears when attempting to change the Automatic Online Update setting (switch on/switch off).

E85: The one-touch power windows function (opening/closing) may no longer be active after the general module has been replaced.

When selecting "Cancel Update" after measures plan was displayed, an empty white screen may appear.

Installation of CIP19.0 aborts and message "Wrong Hardware" is displayed.

Error message "The interface could not be assigned. (Code=42702,Msg=)" appears when using DK radio head.

With CIP 19.1: When selecting "3 Series" on the model selection screen the session will lock up and must be terminated.

PROCEDURE

Button is hidden behind the "Minimise" button, no workaround.

Start a new session after a battery reset and repeat programming/coding.

MASK-S has been programmed nevertheless. Run additional measures plan to verify correct part number.

The CKM values can be set correctly before coding by selecting individual CKM settings.

Ignore the button or message in the case of DME variants that cannot be coded.

Ignore the incorrect CIP version displayed.

Reboot the GT1 (and the SSS if necessary).

Repeat Programming/coding of the control unit.

Automatic update should always stay switched on. Reboot SSS after changing the setting.

Check the CKM settings and repeat window initialization.

Wait until next screen is displayed. This may take a few minutes.

Incorrect base CD was used for installation. CIP 19.0 will only install in conjunction with base CD 2.0.

Problem is under investigation.

Select "1 Series" ? "E87" to work on E90 (3 Series) vehicles. This will be fixed with Online Update CIP 19.01.01.

I would think your dealer has it. My rule with software is if its not broken, then don't fix it. You are having very minor software problems. I'd probably leave it alone unless 19 offers you something of significance that you do not currently have. With respect to the accept screen, you have to wait 10 or 15 secs. I'll bet you would end up accepting to speed things up anyway most of the time. I would. My accept screen doen't go away since I have only 19.01--at least I think that is the reason.

Thanks cd. But, I don't speak M-ASK, CCC, and i-level at all well. And, the service bulletins are not very intuitive to me. Below, if I look under "MODEL," then it appear that a 545i will never get the disappearing screen. And, apparently, I don't have M-ASK and never will. Last, "INFORMATION" tells me nothing since I don't know what i-Level is and don't know if I have E060-09-05-530. What CIP would E060-09-05-530 have been loaded with? I have 19.01.

I must be a lucky guy, I have not had any problems. At this point after 14 months of ownership and 14K miles, the only problem I had was door seals, other than that, everyhting has been good.

I wanted to upgrade my software version. I believe I have something either in the 12 or 13 range. My only real problems are that my RDS sometimes unchecks itself for some reason and I have to check it in order for it to work and the antitrap error every so often. The real reason I want to get it is so that I dont have to hit the accept screen to enter the radio menu. Also I was wondering if anyone that goes to either Rallye BMW or Bayside BMW knows if they have version 19. Thanks.
I would think your dealer has it. My rule with software is if its not broken, then don't fix it. You are having very minor software problems. I'd probably leave it alone unless 19 offers you something of significance that you do not currently have. With respect to the accept screen, you have to wait 10 or 15 secs. I'll bet you would end up accepting to speed things up anyway most of the time. I would. My accept screen doen't go away since I have only 19.01--at least I think that is the reason.

Thanks cd. But, I don't speak M-ASK, CCC, and i-level at all well. And, the service bulletins are not very intuitive to me. Below, if I look under "MODEL," then it appear that a 545i will never get the disappearing screen. And, apparently, I don't have M-ASK and never will. Last, "INFORMATION" tells me nothing since I don't know what i-Level is and don't know if I have E060-09-05-530. What CIP would E060-09-05-530 have been loaded with? I have 19.01. But, even if I have it, then it still appears that I don't have M-ASK and, thus, won't ever have the disappearing screen.

Yes your a CCC, but the phrase "This function will also be available on other models during 2006" may also mean they are working a CCC version. But then again, maybe not. And yes at 19.xx u are at E060-09-05-530. That info is in the latest CIP status SIB posted elsewhere (takes us up to CIP 19.02.03) - not sure where right off hand.

My Ride: I have a 2004 E60. It was registered in January 2004. It's a Black Sapphire 530i SE with a few options: - Auto-dim interior + folding exterior mirrors - Automatic gearbox - Bi-Xenon headlights - Bluetooth - Leather interior (Black-Dakota) - Navigation system - business - Service inclusive - Sport steering wheel - Star spoke 124 8Jx18"/9Jx18" + run flats - Top tint windscreen - BMW 6-CD autochanger - Supagard paint treatment - BMW carpet mats

I had the same problem as I tried to get a free software update earlier in the year but the dealer refused. I'm in the UK by the way.

So, my brake fluid change was due last month and I made a list of faults that I asked to have fixed under warranty. The faults were as follows:

- Abrupt gear change when accelerating or decelerating at slow speeds
- Side window anti-trap function keeps getting activated
- I-Drive sometimes reboots itself

The dealer kept the car for two days to do a full software update for free!
