Some coding options I have not tested yet but the functions do work. This part I followed some instructions on official PA-Soft 1.4.0 thread in E46 forum.

I got a most detail document on set up the BMW Scanner 1.4.0 software on Win 7 32 bit (with free software driver download). If your BMW has 20-pin connector under hood, you properly need additional 20-pin to obd2 16 Pin Connector.

You may need to try different values based upon the specific type of bulb you are installing.Įdit: Should also mention the BC message check box is for other models (I.e. 46) will allow a cold/hot check to occur without error. Instead of disabling useful hot or cold light bulb checks (which are either when the car is running or not) and to accommodate various technologies or modded lights you can modify the PWM values to eliminate LCM errors & cluster light warnings.įor example replacing the stock bulbs in the corner lights (labelled as front turn signals) with LED bulbs will normally activate an LCM error (& cluster warning light) as the resistance value will not match the expected result.Ĭhanging the factory PWM value (20) to a more suitable value for LED (I.e. To answer your question about this section from your prior post: Clicking either one will allow you to search for hexadecimal strings, a handy feature when you're looking to change an existing string as seen below. I don't know why there are two search buttons, but they both seem to do the same thing. Keep in mind that open/save functions independently of read/write, it's a good idea to keep track of the different versions of your EEPROM if you are changing settings. bin file (IKE_wr.bin), and save anything that is currently in the hexadecimal editor as a. Open/save will allow you to populate the hexadecimal editor with a set of settings saved somewhere as a. The four icons in the Internal HEX-Editor are "open", "save", "search" and "search". Keep in mind that the read/write buttons do exactly that, they read the current settings off of your cluster, and write whatever is currently displayed as new settings. You will then be able to modify those values as need be.
When you read your EEPROM the blank grey area will be populated with hexadecimal values as seen above. You will use the Internal HEX-Editor if you intend to modify your temperature gauge or speedometer (below).
