But at the moment bimmercode cannot read BDC_BODY2, because of the firmware its too new, but no problem I am using esysx, its still works

If you need to learn how to update firmware, first you need full version of psdzdata, and Esys 3.34 is Ok, also check google there is a guide for f10, its almost same with g30, only you need to check squence of ecu for prerequest. Definetly first update to BDC_GWS then SAS then FLM, .......USS, NBT, ATM, finally BDC_BODY. Note: NBT its take nearly a hour.
Nice!

Do you know more LCI features for pre Lci with 11-2020 Firmware? I found in bdc the dynamic ambient Light flashing when door is Open, but is not working for me.


What are the LIC_FEATURE_11 , LIC_FEATURE_3 for ?

Has anyone in the US successfully retrofitted the LCI tail lights into a pre-LCI car and have them working w/o any errors or issues?

mrgicm, do you have (or know of anyone that has) wiring instructions for this retrofit? I'm having an impossible time finding a single link or threat that has the coding and the wiring instructions for this retrofit.

Whats the final word about coding needed or unnecessary? M5 area is saying it is absolutely needed but didn't say what it was and some here are saying that it's a clean swap and you're back on the road with no issues. What is is really? I want to order a set of the ROW amber signals but I need to know what is needed first before I drop more than a grand on a couple lights.

When I pulled my taillights off to get to the rear bumper nuts it was a single connection for each of the lights. I'd assume the ones on the actual trunk lid are just a single wire as well.

this is official retrofit, ISTA+ has modification for this retrofit. Checked details for programming with
ISTA+ and it adds HELC to veichle profile, then code all ecus, not only BDCBODY.

Some people sometimes having brake lights error when engine start. Problem can be for coding only BDCBODY. I Think DSC and EPS may control brake lights, add HELC to ho worth and code all ecus.

If anyone round my neck of the woods is interested in having their rear lights retrofitted to the new LCI, give me a bell.

£1100 all in. Start to finish.

I'll come to you; have it done at home.

I don't mind travelling up to an hour each way.
I'm in the North West and can cover West Yorkshire.

Feel free to give me a bell on 07708760646
