🔧 How to code hidden features on your BMW E36? (DIY)

[@CTRVe36]

hello , i have issues with doing this. i think everithing is ok with the programs , im getting error that cannot connect to the module. My differences is that you dont have a letter after the GAM SA and VN , but i do? is this the problem and how to fix it? error is IFH-009. is that maybe a reason of pin7 and 8 not soldered in the cable im using? Awesome car and awesome videos! Highly appreciate you!

hello, what year is this euro sedan? and do you think I can I code my obd1 95 m3 US spec car using these same methods ???

[@idonjohnson6999]

US alarm systems don't use the GM4 as the alarm module. Only if you have option code SA302 you will have this function.

Is there any chance that this can be done on E34 525tds 92'?

[@mrnoname35]

The procedure will be similar, but you need to check if your car has the original BMW alarm system. If yes, then it should be possible to enable the same. Cheers

@@mrnoname35 Thanks for fast respond, should i use the same program as the one you are using?

[@jwnbz]

Does your car have the alarm system ? Bc I'm not sure, if we don't have one, we can also make the visual and acoustic signal with the remote key :/

[@mrnoname35]

Hi! The visual or accoustic acknowledgment settings are part of the alarm system, so it's only customizable on E36 with DWA.

[@jwnbz]

​@@mrnoname35 Ye, that's what I thought... And it's sad :( Thanks for your answer !

[@TheFreshGary]

Hey On my e46 I also don't have the alarmsystem but I could programm the visual locking acknowledging. You just tell the car in ncsdummy it has the alarmsystem and that's it 😉

I have a problem i don't have gm4 what do i do or can't i code my car it is a bmw e36 325 from 1997

[@mrnoname35]

Hi! If your car is from 97, you should be able to see the GM4 module via NCSExpert. It does not appear in the list of available modules?

[@rickjanmensink5604]

@@mrnoname35 thats right

[@giorgimamulashvili3005]

there is not such model :)))

[@gustavopaschoal7882]

Hello is this function available for the e36 323ti 1998?

[@mrnoname35]

Hi! Your car must have the alarm system to enable the acoustic & visual acknowledgment.

[@gustavopaschoal7882]

I took the car recently, I don't know if it has an alarm, can I check it somewhere?

[@mrnoname35]

@@gustavopaschoal7882 You can check with your VIN number the options of your car.

Thank you, I'll look for it! Can the device you use re-program the ecu?

[@gustavopaschoal7882]

@@mrnoname35 Could you tell me on which website I can check if my car came with an alarm?

[@jameswyatt5854]

where did you get the software?

[@mrnoname35]

Hi! I bought it from BCABLES. They provide the set of cables, and an automated software installer. It was super easy to install.. the installer is doing all the configurations for you. I'm able to connect to most of the modules on my 98 M3. However, if you want to access ALL the modules of the car, or you have a car produced before 1996, then this kit working via USB will not work. You need to purchase an ADS interface, and use an old laptop with a serial RS232 port.

[@jameswyatt5854]

@@mrnoname35 mine is 96 can i just download the software?

[@mrnoname35]

Hi James, 96 should work via USB for most of the modules, however I'm afraid that I have no idea where you can download it for free. :/

[@PavleFotevski]

Can you send me the obd.ini and ediabas file and tell me the version of ncs or can you just send me the installation ?
