OBD2 Diagnostic Tools

As we all know Foxwell NT510 will register a new battery to BMW, but have no idea how to. Here’s the step-by-step tutorial on registering BMW battery with NT510 BMW scanner.

Which BMW models need battery registration? 

Here is a list of some BMWs that need battery registration. Always verify with your dealer.

E61, E63, E64, E65, E66, E67, E70, E71, E72, E81, E82, E84, E87, E88, E89, E90, E91, E92, E93, F01, F10.

What you need:

Foxwell NT510 Multi-system scanner

How-to:

Step 1: Replace BMW Battery

Better stick with an AGM (Advanced Glass Mat) battery instead of switching to lead acid batteries if the stock was AGM battery.

Step 2: Register a new battery

Locate the on board diagnostic (OBD – 2) port under the dashboard near your brake pedal. Plug your BMW Foxwell NT510 scan tool into this port.

Turn the key to option II but don’t not start engine. If you have a Push Start button press it a couple of times. Don’t press the brake pedal when you press the start button. All the dashboard lights should turn on.

Register the new BMW battery with NT510:

1.Plug your Foxwell NT510 BMW scanner into the OBD2 port under the dashboard.

2.Turn ignition on, the key to position II. Do not start your car.

3. Select BMW. Scan for VIN. It will automatically look up the VIN number. Once VIN is found press OK.

4. Scroll down to the Body menu 4.

5. Scroll down to Power Supply (Battery) and press Enter.

6. Select option 2 for Battery registration.

In the next screen, you can perform the following.

1. Register new battery. Battery replacement is the same as the original.
2. Change battery capacity to higher or lower.
3. Change battery type between AGM and lead acid battery.

VAG diagnostic tool Wifi VAS6154 differs from Bluetooth VAS 5054a interface at outlook, PCB, communication method, vehicle coverage, programming, etc, and they share same software version ODIS 4.1.3.

Here we go in details.

Part 1. The differences:

1) Wifi VAS6154 Outlook VS Bluetooth VAS5054 outlook

2) Firmware / PCB: VAS6154 has a upgraded hardware compare with VAS 5054A.

Attach best Quality VAS 5054A PCB (SP33-C)

Attach Wifi VAS6154 PCB (Built with wireless network technology):

Usually VAS6154 can communicate via wireless network and USB module.

But in some countries the user can only use VAS6154 by pluging USB to the car, since in these contries the wireless network module can not be permitted, they are: Australia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Brazil, Canada, Switzerland, Cyprus, Czech, Danmark, Estonia, Finland, Greece, Hongkong, Israel , India, Ireland, Italy, Lativia, Mexico, Netherland, New Zealand, Poland, Russia, Argentina, Korea, Singapore, SLOVENIA, Turkish, Ukraine, UAE, the United States, the United Kingdom.

3) Communication method:

VAS 6154a communicate via USB or Wifi

VAS5054a communicate via USB or Bluetooth

Attach VAS5054a Bluetooth adapter

4) Vehicle coverage:

VAS6154 vehicle coverage: VW Audi Skoda cars since 2000 year.

VAS 5054 vehicle coverage: VW Audi Skoda Seat Bentley Lamborghini (only VAS5054A interface VAS-PC V19 software is compatible with Seat Bentley Lamborghini).

5) Remote programming:

To use VAS-PC software to perform remote programming, you go for VAS5054A or VAS5055 head is good choice.

To perform OBDII diagnostic and online programming, you go for VAS 6154 head clone.

Part 2. The similarities:

Newest crack ODIS 4.13 is compatible with both VAS 6154 interface and VAS 5054A interface.

1). ODIS 4.1.3 Software what works:

– Estimated remaining times are shown for ECU flash operations.

– Diagnostic protocol contains interruptions of GFF sessions, extended measurement values, improved ECU communication view,

– The measured value display has been improved.

– One message box will be shown at the beginning of the test drive mode.

– GFF hotfixes can be integrated during diagnostic sessions.

– Danger messages have been revised.

– Stopping of diagnostic sessions may be interrupted.

In order to code the DMB driving lock in the E series, I added the parameters and modified the data value to FF, so I added the parameters many times, so I applied the additional method.

When replacing a battery with an amp that is higher than the original amp, sometimes I need to add a parameter to set the proper ampere .... I do not have to .... But, I want to ....

I can not see the 100 amperes parameter in BMW coding software NCS Dummy.

first

If you search for KLASSE_BATTERIE to set the battery

(First picture) KLASSE_BATTERIE - Select BATTERY TYPE, right click on it and select Add parameter to modify the added parameters .... (second, third picture)

Edit the data (fourth picture) .... The modification here seems to be the menu order. 01, 02, 03, ....... 09,0A.0B, 0C.0D, ......

In the DMB lock, I modified the setting value to FF ..... It seems that the order is not so important here. So it makes sense that some people do not need to set it up.

I think the battery should be reset.

Finally (in the fifth figure), press the Module Functions button to select the Update Module.

When you start to update the module, you will be notified that you can not revert anymore.

Now go back and load the modified module and you will see the modified 100 amperes.

I have added two parameters: 100 amps in general and 100 amps in AGM batteries.

Any cost-effective DIY solution of BMW diagnostic/coding/programming?

Yes, first you should know which a BMW ICOM cable you need: K+DCAN or ENET or ICOM A2/ ICOM Next.

In summary,

It depends on your purpose (diagnostic or coding or programming) and model (Exx or Fxx or others).

For Coding, you need different Tools, NCS Expert / SP-Daten for E-Series and E-Sys / PSdZData for F-Series.

All Diagnosis and Coding can be done with cheap DCAN Cable for E-Series and cheap ENET Cable for F-Series.

For Programming (Flashing ECU’s with new Firmware), then you need ISTA/P for for both E-Series and F-Series cars, or you can use WinKFP for E-Series and E-Sys for F-Series. For E-Series Programming, you will need an ICOM, but for F-Series Programming, you can use ENET Cable.

For Exx- Series:

Interface = K+DCAN Cable (OBDII to USB) or ICOM

ECU Data Files = SP-Daten

NCS Expert = Coding Software

WinKFP = Programming (Flashing) Software

EDIABAS = Low-Level ECU Communication Software used by NCS Expert & WinKFP

For Fxx- / Ixx- / Gxx-Series, Mini, & Rolls-Royce:

Interface = ENET Cable (OBDII to RJ45 Ethernet) or ICOM

ECU Data Files = PSdZData

E-Sys = Coding Software

E-Sys = Programming (Flashing) Software

About: BMW ICOM

ICOM A (also ICOM A2, ICOM A3, ICOM Next A): main interface

ICOM B: adapter for programming multimedia in E series

ICOM C: adapter for old BMW with round 20 pin diagnostic plug

ICOM D: adapter for motorcycles

ISTA+ (AKA Rheingold or ISTA-D)

DIAGNOSTICS for All Vehicles

PROGRAMMING for F/I/G/RR & MINI, but requires an ICOM

ISTA-P

PROGRAMMING traditionally for all chassis, but is being phased out by August 2017, except for legacy E-series.

YOU HAVE TO KNOW before you buy ICOM A2 or ICOM A3 or ICOM Next:

BMW ICOM NEXT vs the old ICOM

-> much faster in BMW F and G series ..

-> supports gigabit Ethernet too to be future proof, there currently is not gigabit Ethernet protocol defined yet for autos. Also it has USB3.0 instead of USB2.0 and a better wifi card.
