Hey Yusuf,

Can you or do you know anybody that can provide the coding service in Durban ?

Yugan

Unfortunately not. I did one of the guys cars there when I was on holiday two weeks back, but currently I do not do remote coding and I'm not sure if there is anybody that does it locally

Okay ... So when are you heading down to Durbs again ? Could you possibly pencil in a spot in your diary to do my car whilst here ?

I found this and I have contacted BMW and awaiting thier response on my reqeust. :fencelook:

Auto Start Stop Service bulletin:

SI B12 15 12

INFORMATION
The Automatic Start/Stop (MSA) system is a further BMW Efficient Dynamics measure aimed at meeting BMW’s commitment to reducing CO2 emissions and enhancing fuel economy. BMW, always a leader in innovative technology, will be the first automobile manufacturer to bring MSA technology to all new models. Automatic Start/Stop systems will become prevalent in the future, as manufacturers strive to meet increasingly stringent emissions and fuel economy requirements. By automatically switching the engine off when the car is stationary, MSA can improve fuel economy and reduce emissions. New F-vehicles now incorporate the second generation of MSA (MSA II), which has been further developed to operate in combination with an automatic transmission and the BN2020 electrical system. A detailed description of the MSA Automatic Start/Stop function can be found in the ICP Technician library under Technical Training course ST1112.

SITUATION
Some drivers have expressed the desire to deactivate this function in certain situations. This can be done manually via the Automatic Start/Stop function button with the LED switched on, indicating that the start/stop function is deactivated. However, by default, the Automatic Start/Stop function is reactivated each time the engine is started. At the request of an owner, it is possible to modify this default logic to “Last user mode.” With this logic, the current MSA’s activated or deactivated setting is stored and used on the next trip. Note: All new BMW M models have the “Last user mode” as the default setting from production.

PROCEDURE
Explain the benefits of the MSA technology to the customer: The environmental benefit of reduced greenhouse gases and the financial benefit of improved fuel economy The attachment is a document that you can share with customers, which provides an overview and answers to some of the most commonly asked questions. It should be given to all customers at the time of sale, and placed inside service loaner vehicles equipped with MSA. Should a customer still request “Last user mode,” submit a PuMA case entitled “Activate MSA memory conversion.” The IBAC code necessary to perform this conversion will be provided in the response to the PuMA case. Using the latest version of ISTA/P, perform the conversion “Activate MSA memory,” along with a complete vehicle coding and any required programming as determined in the measures plan. Upon successful completion of the measures plan, the option OMSA is added to the vehicle order.

Note:
When the ISTA system message displays: Battery voltage only “XX.XX” V. Please connect charger. Please note the displayed battery voltage reading in the repair order comments section. WARRANTY INFORMATION The conversion procedure outlined above can be submitted for reimbursement, one time on eligible vehicles, during the BMW New Vehicle/SAV Limited Warranty coverage period of 48 months or 50,000 miles, whichever occurs first.

I have a F10 M Sport and wondering if I could have the M logo coded onto the dash?
apparently, it requires NBT Head Unit. Coding is as follows:

HU_NBT => STARTUP_EMBLEM = variant_01 (default_0).

Help?

Yes that's correct. The CIC and entry models don't support the animation on the head unit - the NBT interface is a much more dynamic interface than older models.

Okay, O I dont have NBT then, is there no way to code the startup logo on the dash or the i drive screen?
What about coding the kw gauges on the i drive screen?

This is confusing , On our F30 320i LCI , we don't have the touch sensitive Idrive controller , But the car does have those Gauges that show rev and torque , It also has an animated screen on startup ( All it shows is connected drive in a fancy way ) We don't have nav either so its the smaller screen .

What unit does this car have?

I have the Torque Gauges in my car and I don't have Navigation. However I do have the Paddle Shift Transmission and the car is a 2016 F30 LCI. So Maybe they made it available in the newer models.
