If you have not brought your vehicle in for service since November and desire your vehicle to be coded in the future, let your BMW service advisor know that you do NOT want your vehicle software updated at the next service appointment…at least until a fix/workaround has been discovered. Okay, I don’t think I have the affected software installed…
#Ista P Bmw V55 update#
If your vehicle has not gone to the dealership since November and received a software update, we should be able to code features as usual, however if the vehicle had received an update around late November, we will need to connect to verify if the affected software updates have indeed been installed. How do I know if I have the affected versions of software? Unfortunately, if the vehicle has one of the affected software updates we will not be able to code many of the commonly desired features (such as mirror fold and windows up with key fob). Without these descriptors we cannot feature code options such as power mirror folding with key fob, digital speedometer, or remove the legal disclaimer in the I-drive. This recent move by BMW seems to be aimed at blocking end users from customizing their vehicles (and submitting warranty claims for botched coding jobs), and have thus seriously hindered the F-series BMW coding community. Since late November 2014, BMW has begun to release software updates for F-series chassis vehicles which are removing the descriptive menus which had previously allowed coders using E-SYS to quickly and easily feature code (or FDL code) options to the vehicle. SFBMWcoding is pleased to announce that we can code vehicles even if flashed with newer firmware (v55+)!
