With a K+DCAN Cable & NCSEXPER (software), we actually able to 'code' our E90 to activate some hidden cool features. I have coded mine for some features, but wondering any expert bro out there can enlighten us or share some nice coding done... :4:

Mine Pre-LCI 325i doesn't come with welcome light with angel eye, but i just enable. What i have coded so far:
- Auto eject FOB key when press on STOP button more than 2 second.
- Fold side mirror when lock door, and unfold when unlock (coded). Window will goes down and up as well via FOB (original).
- Digital speed show on OBC (just like civic), which is same with speedometer speed. There is an option to show TRUE speed (i guess is based on GPS)
- When brake, always use Standard brake light + brake force light.
- Coding require for Retrofit LCI LED-taillight, to remove all warning message & reuse back the FRM module.
Some coding are available also:
- Instant MPG on OBC display
- Enable/disable seat belt warning.
- Sun roof open/close when rain.
- retrofit alarm
- many more....

Not really sure, so far dint find any successful coding on this.. Actually, i would prefer to utilize our 8' I-Drive LCD, expand the ori feature, at least can view some important parameters like temperature, voltage, pressure as what bro said....

hi guys,
M very new here and just gotten my Recond 2007 E92 325 Msport about 2 weeks ago.
Have gone through the BMW hand guide but still have a few queries. Hope u guys could help out since all here a long time owners of a UDM
1. I am still unable to read my milege perlitre. There is a display in the middle of the speedometer when i throttle it and it moves randomly. Is this normal?
2. Since mine is a recond UK unit, the centre armrest compartment comes with a phone compartmet. Is there anywhere i could remove it and make it more roomier?
3. I tried pluging in my GPS adapter into the ciggie area and it cant fit? I tot all cars come with a same ciggie compartment so all plug and play thingy like recharging your iphone/GPS and other stuff could be use easily.
4. I was quite a bummer went i bought this car as the SA told me the milege was 19k km but actually after 1 week of driving and reading the BMW manual guide, it was actually in miles and wen i change it to kilometer it was about 30 k KM....bUt anyway the car is in superb condition and am not crying over it.
However my SA service the car and told me the next service was supposed to be in 5 k so in miles would be in 24 k mile. So what should i expect for the cost of my service and what would they usually service or look for at 24 K miles?
5. Since all sifu here have been driving this UDM for quite some time, which is the best engine oil u recommend and what is the usual amout of engine oil for the N52 engine?
6. How do i check whether the RFT have enough air presure?Do i need to reset each time i add i pressure and how do i do that?
7. Sent my car for inspection to Ah heng in Msport USJ before i bought my car but is quite far from where i leave in sg buloh. Was going through the thread and alot of ppl recommend t Benson in ss2. Price , service and workmanship wise , which guys u think is better?
8. Had Huper optiks tint done for my car recently in puchong, The rear windscreen at the edges have not settle down even after 2 weeks and the SA told me in due time it will cause our BMW glass have some blackish "" dots"" at the edges . Any either if this is normal for your cars before. But the SA was a gentlemen and told me if m not happy i can always re do it.
9. How to know if my car comes with comfort access?
10. Do u guys leave the DTC on always or usually if ascending/climbing for instance to genting? Does it effect the consumption or power of the car if leave it on or OFF always?
Guys these r some of my queries and i would be really grateful if u sifus could help out.
O yes , i would really like to joint a TT session.... planning anywhere in a near future?

Wow! Let see if I have the stamina to go through the questions :4:
1. Google for vacuum gauge
2. Dunno
3. Mine no problem
4. U need 6.5L of engine oil and the oil filter is about RM30 ~ RM50 max.
5. Fully Synthetic 5w-30
6. Use a pressure gauge and yes, u should reset every time after u refill.
7. Dunno
8. Mine no problem
9. Car door unlocks without the need to press the remote control, and u can start the engine with key still inside your pants.
10. Leave the DTC button alone unless u want to drifting.. :4:
There u go.. :48:

Pre-LCI and LCI uses different cables? Or is it the same cable and different software? I've looked at this before but can't figure out which cable to get for my LCI E90

Hi Kimi, I 'd to do it if you have time. However, like gameover bro mentioned, mine is a 2011 E90. Is it still possible?
I will PM you my mobile. Thanks in advance.

Basically there are 3 type of OBD interface from E46 -> E90 LCI (i think same to other BMW series)
(1) Older E90 car (Pre 3/2007) or E46 - Communication through K-Line bus.
(2) Post 3/2007 - Communication through DCAN bus.
(3) >2009 - Communication through DCAN bus but also support Ethernet connection.
In the market, if you see
- K+DCAN cable, meaning it supports all models until 2009 car and DCAN cable doesnt support Pre 3/2007 car? Why we dont have 1 cable for all? The reason is, the same pin (pin 7 and pin 8) in OBD, are configured differently in pre 3/2007 and >2009 car.
- Pre 3/2007, Pin 7 & 8 is KLine bus.
- >2009, Pin 7 & 8 is Ethernet bus.
If we plug in a K+DCAN cable into your LCI, the KLine signal will interrupt the OBD interface as the LCI car treat it as Ethernet signal, so the software & OBD will not work properly.
Solution > To enable the K+DCAN to talk with your LCI, just disconnect the PIN 7 & 8 internally, everything will work fine. If want to talk to E46 or pre 3/2007 E90, just connect back the pins.
