- Hi guys, this is another follow up video on the oem carplay upgrade I did on my BMW 330e, for some reason the screen was stretched in fullscreen mode, well in today's video I'll be showing how to sort it out as well as upgrading the I-Step shipment on your BMW!
Here is a link to the PSDZData File, you'll need to download Qbittorrent or something equivalent. Unpacked the size is around ~300GB, make sure you have around 500GB free space on your computer!!!

Make sure to choose the first one, version 4.42.40!
Amazing work keep it going bro!!
Thanks for the support bro
Nice work. I want to update my nbt professional. Do i need a battery stabiliser
Thank you for the video !
Appreciate it bro
Awsome video. I have a few quick questions. TIA
It seems you only updated the HUentry and all of the prereq by selecting it in TAL. If I want to do a full upgrade, since I have not upgraded my car for many years, can I select all in the TAL and upgrade? Do I need to worry about prereq?
Or, do I select like you did, and then come back to do the other one by one?
Hi my friend! Thank you so much for the videos, makes very easy to enter in this flash/coding world!
Im about to flash my HU to get CarPlay fullscreen in my X1 2020 and you make my life easier with your content!
Question: do the readings , savings and calculations (FA, SVT, TAL...) generates any changes whatsoever or not? I was wondering if I can poke around before do the flashing.
PS: ill use another car running to charge the battery during the flashing.
The calculations will not make any difference until you actually click the code button, I hope you can get CarPlay full screen, let me know how it goes!
Hi guys don’t forget to like and subscribe for more content, when doing the I-Step update your kombi and possibly speakers will make some strange noises, do not be alarmed this is normal whilst the ecu’s are being flashed
Hi,thank you for the video, i just want to ask you , for upgrade did you use an ENET cable right?
Hey @zeeBMW, first of all you're doing a really good job with these videos. I have one small question, did you lose connectivity to MyBMW app after the coding? I used to be able to read my range (fuel tank level) or see if my car is locked via MyBMW app, seems that after the coding I've lost this function, although I'm still able to send location destination from app to navigation.
Hi mate, thank you for the support! I did not loose MyBMW app functionality, did you use a VIN that is subscribed to connected services? If the cars services have been suspended you will have this issue, try a different VIN with CarPlay compatibility of course
Can you please explain this one thing to me? I updated TMS and LHM, after updating they disappeared from the FA list, now I can’t code them, because they show up as a folder if I click read VCM. Can you please help me understand why is that? Thank you!
Heya mate, great vids, just wondering if you know if it's still possible (July 2024) to successfully install Launcher Pro 2.8.1 to use with E-Sys 3.30? Previous guides seem to throw .est token errors (like corrupt, expired, invalid etc)
I updated everything except the dme and the istep still shows f020-16-11-502 when it should be f020-24-7-500. I would use ista but I dont want to program the dme
Hi please do you have process for upgrading led matrix head light
Hi my friend, thanks for the video! I have a 2024 GR Supra and I should be using J29 S18T PSDZData. After a searching around for a long time, the latest version I could find is 4.28.31, which is quite old. Do I have to get the latest version to be able to code my Supra? Is the older version also compatible with my latest Supra? Thanks!
Hi brother, thank you for watching! I am pretty sure you will need the newer version of PSDZData, half the changeable options will be ‘unbeleget’ as these properties from the new ecus have not been defined or don’t exist in an older version of the PSDZData for your vehicle. I’m not 100% sure though, no harm in reading the VCM to see what comes up as the car is basically a Z4 👍
You got any where to contact you? Also how did you learn all this? Most people keep this stuff behind closed doors. Been trying to learn to do this for a while but no one does an exact tutorial and gate keep this info.
Yes bro give me your insta I can help you out. I learned it by researching several forums. Took me about 2-3 days of research and some confidence/stupidity to mess with my car 😅 but it all worked out first time as I triple checked other methods…
Great work, What if i have apple carplay already. Does it still require to code the carplay again after Idrive update?
Thanks bro, yes if you provisioned CarPlay through my previous tutorial then you will need to re-provision it again.
Hey. One thing that I dont fully understand is the VCM Update - you updated only 3 ECU's and it changed the whole I-Step when you read it out? What about the rest of the ECU's being on the old I-step? That's also one thing I read about in many tutorials, that they recommend to tick off the checkbox in the options that says something about Updating VCM after Tal execution. Could you please explain? Also what would I do if I want to update the whole car? Should I do every ECU on it's own, like only these that have prereq. or all at once? Thank you very much!
You are very much correct in saying how the whole I step is changed if only a small portion of the ecus are updated. In this case if a personal was to do tal execution again it will show that the ecu firmware is actually older than the I step listed on let’s say the dme. This will show more firmware versions it will need to flash to get it up to date if that makes sense, essentially updating to the latest I step if you want it done.
Regarding that checkbox I haven’t noticed anything but a small dialog box appearing after flashing the i steps. I believe it is to just stop that error from showing.
You should NEVER just do one ecu on its own you have to do all ecus linked in the prerequisite folder. It’s best if you do all of the ecus at once but have a battery booster connected to the cars battery…
The reason why I didn’t do the engine ecu, gearbox and eps update was because it doesn’t add anything. In fact the eps becomes even lighter on lower speeds!
@@zeeBMW I mean flashing prequesities is not always necessary. When I flashed my f02 SWW module, it had EGS, DSC etc as prequisites but I figured trying to flash just sww alone would save time and if it were not to work then I could always flash the prequisites after that as well. Worked fine without updating the prequisites.
Can we upgrade from idrive 4 to 6, using this istep method?
I don’t think it’s as easy as that, I believe you have to change a few properties in hu_entrynav2 as well as doing an istep upgrade to allow idrive 5/6 to work
Great video, using the guide to help me fix a corrupted software on a HU_Entry causing a bootloop. Is it possible to just re-flash the same software already on the corrupted module? Rather than being forced into upgrading the ilevel of the module and several dependencies which would wipe out ALOT of coding for me.
Thank you for the support! Yeah sure you can reflash the module as is just pick the same upgrade istep as the original there and it will work. However I would strongly advise updating it, you will loose all coding done anyway…
@@zeeBMW It will force me to update combox and fem body also which both have additional coding done as they are dependencies. If I kept my ilevel then I shouldn't need to redo the coding on additional ecus.
@@xplosm4197 ah yes that is also true, I upgraded and for me over a long period of time I’ve noticed CarPlay is actually stable and connects first time. Before the update you’d be waiting for 5 minutes just for CarPlay to start. Also certain features like opening the driver side door turns of the radio work much better. Before the update half the time opening the driver side door would not turn off the radio even if coded… certain things have definitely been ironed out and alone make it worth while…
The starter/aux battery is only charged when the vehicle is in diagnostics mode. However when you hit the coding button it switches to transport mode.
Didn’t know that, thanks for the update. Interestingly my hybrid battery was significantly drained after the istep update, although it was reporting the percentage as a few percent lower than before maybe due to the kombi reset the actual value it decreased to was like 20%
Hi,I just install apple CarPlay for NBT_evo via usb,it’s working,but now BimmerCode it’s not reading de head unit,how I deleted AppleCarplay and make back oem?
I’m not too sure mate…
Hi mate, read in the comments that you are from London. Could I pay you to update some modules for me on f80 m3. Need DCT, EPS and DIff and MDM updated to latest versions. I’ve got Bootmod tune atm so only need those modules touched
I’ve got esys and cable if you would rather talk me through it.
If I am not sure if my battery can work for 40 minutes, can I turn on engine on the beginning of the update procedure in order to have some charge? Unfortunately I dont have any power supplies on my side.
Hi, you need to have the car off when doing an istep update as ecus are being updated in realtime, this could have a detrimental effect on the engine, transmission if active. I’d advise buying a cheap battery booster and hooking it up to your battery this is the best and only way to do it… unless you want to try and istep update without a battery booster. It should be able to last 40 minutes depending on battery health.
@@zeeBMW Could you please suggest any battery boosters? I want the same NBT update so I think the update should take 40-50 minutes. I cannot imagine if my battery can be used in this case.
Hi mate, which launcher are you using for E sys? My token expired and I can't get a new one anywhere
I’ll be making a separate vid on this mate but in the meantime refer to my first video and you’ll see the link and txt file with the tutorial on how to install it
Hmm I upgraded to 8,8“ and CarPlay is only splitscreen, do I really need the full 300gb file?? Or is the light enough?
You’ll need the full file mate
@@zeeBMW when the CarPlay is on fullscreen, is it possible to choose a splitscreen, so I have the navi arrows on the right 1/3 and CarPlay on the left 2/3?
hy!, there is a newer version of psdzdata 4.44.11 in your list. does this version work or should i download the recommended version 4.42.40?
As long as you can access that version of the PSDZData without a password then yes you can use it, any psdzdata file would work but the latest is always the best to have 👍
Thank you very much! Do you by chance have a version with which you can work on G-models? Or is it just fine to have the 4.44.11?
@@user-uq3mt3px5h I wouldn’t know about the ones relating to the g series chassis. From what I’ve heard you need a newer version of esys aswell as psdzdata otherwise the chassis cannot be detected, plus it wouldn’t show up on the model options when you click connect.
Are these steps the same for upgrading the central gateway?
I’m not sure but I’d assume if you did a full istep upgrade on the car it would include that. Should be under ZGM I believe?
Is it possible to read fsc code ?
Hi Zee.
I've got a 2018 X2 entrynav2 and have found a VIN from a 2021 X2 with carplay preparation S6CP present. When I converted the VIN to hexadecimal it contained a letter, will that be ok?
Yes that would be perfectly fine, hexadecimal goes upto the letter F
@@zeeBMW thanks.
I'm quite nervous but if I follow your video exactly should I be ok
@@davidtongue9713 yes it will go smoothly, I took the same risk for CZcams 😅
Hi @@zeeBMW I have coded VIN but tool32 does not show "enaevo.prg" as an option. Can youhelp?
@@davidtongue9713 did you put it in the correct directory?
If I have CarPlay activated from the factory, will I have to somehow activate it from scratch after this update, or will it work right away?
It will work right away as your Bluetooth it provisioned for CarPlay compatibility and the vin number allows CarPlay. You just have to change that one setting 👍
@@zeeBMW Today I managed to successfully update NBT. Full Screen works properly! Thanks a lot for sharing this video guide :D
@@blacka2363 I’m glad it worked out thanks for watching!
Hi, thanks for really good instruction film. Could you help me, please? During TAL calculation they show me Warning "9 TAL lines have been set to status NotExecutable (C384] because necessary BL-Update. Any idea what is going on?
Did you follow all the steps closely? Also are you using the same version of esys or newer?
@@zeeBMW Yes, I use the same version of Esys, and earlier I've made small Carplay according your films. The most strange is that read actual 22 ECUs and 27 ECUs for upgrading.
end I have all 3 I-levels the same 18-11-553 that means never upgrading
Is it the problem with VIN nb I've placed 2021y my car is 2019y, so first I've place 2020y and then 2021 to check the Carplay big screen posibilities but nothing changed
should I change for original VIN? Is it influence on I-level upgrading?
does this make half screen carplay fullscreen?
Yes it will do if your istep version is quite old on NBT Evo
Please explain Apple carplay is NBTevo activation
Which NBT Evo version do you have?
@@zeeBMWhey! How Can I activate carplay on ,,Entry Evo’’ 2019 small screen bmw i3. I saw many activated, is this the same way?
I don’t have FA activate option
Close E-Sys and open it again, read the FA first then activate it…
hey buddy before creating the "SVT" file to SAVE, are you not supposed to READ (ECU) instead of READ (VCM)? What is the difference between those two and does it even matter when updating the headunit?
The tutorial I followed showed to read the VCM, I wouldn’t know if reading the ECU instead of the VCM would give you the same SVT file
@@zeeBMW oh okay . What istep did you get on your headunit with that psdzdata?
Are you local to manchester? Id pay you to do this for me 😂
Sorry bro I live literally 10 mins from London, so would be quite a way away from Manchester lol, around 3 and a half hours… 😅
Thanks for this video. I have a 2016 Mini Cooper with nbt-evo with a 6.5inch screen, but I’ve acquired an entrynav2 system with an 8.8 inch screen from a crashed 2021 F60. Could you help me get this all working? Do you have IG or Whatsapp?
Isn’t the idrive completely different? If so the values would be different in e-sys, I’m not 100% sure if I’d know how to code this.
@@zeeBMW Yes, the iDrive is different, but the VO is the same. I'm wondering if the CAFD calculations and coding would figure it all out.
@@MiniBrothaswrite your vin to the new modules. VO code the new hardware. Should be fine.
If you edit only cafd, the dealership is gonna throw a fit when they hook up an autel or ISTA device. It won’t be able to code or update anything because of a hardware mismatch
