BMW CIC UPGRADE HOW TO
At the very least you need to be able to read wiring diagrams and also have either the knowledge required to disassemble the interior of your car or know how to sear and read the info on TIS. It is a challenging retrofit if you have no experience with these things. It's been a wee wait while the kit was assembled but it arrived and was installed in an afternoon (no jokes). There is no loss in terms of functionality, but some hardware replacement would be required when retrofitting EVO. Pretty simple install, but a bit more involved from a wiring point of view. Possible if you have a ZGW2-High from the factory. From what I have gathered you would lose some functionality with this method when retrofitting newer HW versions of NBT and any version of EVO.Ģ - ZGW Flash method. Mostly plug and play but some compatibility issues. Yours may vary):ġ - Can filter/adapter based retrofit. Two retrofit options exist for the F12 (again, based on my car and experience. The information below is based on my experience and I give no guarantee that the information is applicable or relevant to any other car configuration. Steps like the removal of the COMBOX and USB cable routing as well as the disassembly steps are also still required, even with the 8SK method.Īlso, the standard disclaimer applies. The information above is still relevant as a guide if the ZGW2 route is not viable in your case.

BMW CIC UPGRADE CODE
I resolved this by doing a fresh FA code with my original FA but with the Zeitkriterium updated to 0712. Initially the NBT would not display my top view or PDC, but the sounds worked. * ZBE3 and Touch ECU are also tapped into CAN2 * Tapped the CAN2 high and low at the CAS The ZGW now shows up as ZGW2 in esys, where before it was just ZGW (despite being a ZGW2-High) * Updated SWFL (both) and BTLD of the ZGW2-High with 8SK software. Another strange issue was that the NBT would not save my unit settings, so every time the car booted up it would reset to default, which in my car's case is UK MPG etc. The problem may have arisen from the fact that my car has a ZGW2-High from factory, and the FeNBT is not 100% compatible with it.

BMW CIC UPGRADE UPDATE
No amount of coding would fix it, and Bimmer Retrofit suggested a firmware update to the FeNBT box to address it.
