The solution is to decide where you want to keep the real physical PsdZData Full and create symbolic links for the other two applications to utilize. You don’t want to have 3 separate places to store all this data because it would consume a ridiculous amount of space. So one major issue that I foresaw was that ISTAD, ISTAP, and ESYS all have different places they want to access PsdZData Full. For example, I had VO coded Bluetooth Audio/Media, tire pressure and temperature displays, and 6 blinks instead of the default 3 blinks for the turn signals. Your car is not possessed, it’s just ISTAP doing everything to re-initialize your vehicle. You’ll see your instrument cluster, climate system, windows/sunroof activate and deactivate. However, there will be a few dialog boxes that pop up to warn you or instruction you to do certain things such as calibrate the steering wheel angle, close all doors, etc. Different between Psdzdata Full and Lite: If you’re not going to flash the ECU and just doing FDL coding then the lite version is all you need.
Psdzdata full update#
The coding process is automatic and it is fairly short. What is BMW Psdzdata The PsdzdataECU Data Files,is basically a pack that contains all the data needed for E-sys to be able to code a car, flash ecus and firmware update of the modules on the car. ISTAP will flash firmware onto the modules and then code them. Total duration for everything was about 57 mins I did see the “Emergency call malfunction” warning after I restarted the car after completing the flash.
What the display says when in the first few minutes of programming. You can see the status bars below the module names. ISTAP reading vehicle data after starting New Session… Fortunately, ISTAP worked when ISTAD did not. I know flash programming can be done via ESYS after talking with number more experienced forum members, but I prefer a factory all-in-one solution for simpletons like myself. However, pressing “Execute measures plan” would result in no action. It would seem to calculate measures fine which is another way of saying determine which modules need to be flashed. Otherwise, ISTAD has been great in terms of serving as diagnostic software and factory service manual. Not sure if anyone else has gotten this functionality to work. I have not been able to get this working with my setup after weeks of trying. My understanding was that ISTAD v4.x.x was supposed to be able to do flash programming and eventually replace ISTAP. This seemed sufficient for maintaining voltage and a temporary alternative to purchasing a Schumacher INC-700A power supply/charger. Using my girlfriend’s loaner F25 X3 28i as a power supply in order to keep voltage between 14.0 and 14.9. bmw coding forum has a whole bunch of info regarding patcher version 2.
I have set up ISTAD and ISTAP within Oracle VirtualBox virtual machine.
