First time poster, so not sure if I should post here but here goes. Firstly, many thanks to the very helpful posts on here and the many hours DavidMc, Iceman and Randomy must have devoted to both the forum and there own personal setups I must say a big thank you for all the hard work.THANK YOU! Will my E36 comm thru ADS (car requires ADS to comm to all modules, verifed PIN 15) via USB to serial(Prolific PL-2303) to DIS v44, or is it haul the full PC out to the car with true com port comfigured as COM1, I/O 03F8 - 03FF, IRQ 4. Cheers time for a cold one. Caenen Last edited by caenen; at 06:37 PM.
Reason: additonal hardware information. Just joined the forum. Hope you wouldnt mind helping me. Ive got a copy of gt1/easydis.
You will have to bear with me im very new to this. I installed all the software like the walkthru said, i had a problem where i got stuck at a screen where it said sizing memory and then lots of dots.

Easy DIS v44 1.0 BASE & GT1 v44 1.0 Program Easy DIS v44 1.0 BASE & GT1 v44 1.0 Program Easy DIS - program to reintroduce and diagnostic / coding bodywork car brand BMW. Jan 28, 2011 - Craft Director Studio v10.1.2 WIN32 & WIN64 RarmaRadio 2.51.2. Easy DIS v44 1.0 BASE & GT1 v44 1.0 Program Portable jv16.
I restarted the install by remounting the 2 programs and it worked and i installed the dis. Everything was all good until i shut the vmware down. I changed the boot order back from booting from the cd to the original settings.
Now the dis wont start up, it just comes up with the sizing memory and lots of dots. I changed the order again so it would boot from the cd but that doesnt make any difference.
Just wondered if anyone has had this problem and if anyone knows the solution. Really hope someone can help cos this is driving me crazy, and also my girlfriend cos i cant seem to put the laptop down!!

Shatter, DIS v44 was released later than the build date for your car, so if you want to diagnose, code and program in one installation, v44 would be fine. EasyDIS was only released in a v39 and v44 version, but v44 is fine if you wish to instal DIS v57.
Versions of DIS later than v44 however can only do diagnostics, so if you wish to code and program with a later version you will need to figure on installing PROGMAN as well. Personally, I would avoid using pre-cooked versions of DIS sourced from eBay and the like as you will not actually know what settings have been used and most require use of a diaghead emulator, which is just another inconvenience. Hey David, First, ty for responding so fast. I hate to ask you more questions. I have EasyDis V.44, The inpa/ediapas cables on the way from ebay.
A pcmcia RS232 serial port card for my lap, and the carsoft interface cable on the way. As far as I know, I have all the necessary equipment to be able to hook up to my car and pull codes, diagnose, program, etc. I will be doing a tranny automanual swap. Now part of the swap involves reprogramming the car. Basically telling it that it's not a manual and not an auto anymore. Will I be able to do this, and how?
Okay, I have never recoded a car from auto to manual, but to the best of my knowledge, this is the procedure 1. Read out existing ZCS values from the cluster:- GM:. SA:.
VN:. 2.
Obtain or calculate the SA code for the manual transmission car (You can download a copy of BMW Decoder from the NCS folder on the 4shared site - enter your existing SA code and choose 'Decode' and the options for your vehicle will be displayed. You just need to deselect the auto transmission option and replace it with the appropriate code for the transmission you are installing, then choose 'Encode' to display the revised SA code,) 3.
Recode the cluster with the new ZCS values (i.e. Same GM and VN numbers, but revised SA code). Follow suit with ASC/DSC, EWS and GKE modules, then code DME from automatic to manual. If anyone has more details on this procedure, perhaps we could start a new thread which could be stickied for further use.

I am in the midst of a swap now with the mechanical part-coding is done already, but not quite able to fully test out driving it obviously; however, all unnecessarily lights on the cluster are out after unplugging the tranny computer and recoding all the modules just as David described. I have the full DIY except cannot confirm the last page-after the EWS-DME alignment does it actually clear the codes (recall that after pulling automatic transmission computer module, you will get a SES light because DME cannot communicate with TCM)?
My vehicle production is before use of VO, so mine fully utilizes ZCS codes. A friend of mine with production date 09/2001, observed that his steps were much different. He was shown vehicle options and did see 205, which is automatic transmission. He removed this when coding the kombi and it removed the cog. There were no ZCS codes from any of the modules he went into. The only issue is cruise control not working. We may have reason to believe the DIS v43 (not easyDIS) may not be advanced enough since for each module, it just asked whether you wanted to perform automatic programming and that was it.
So vehicles with production date of 09/2001 or later can forget about ZCS codes. I believe SSS/Progman may be able to help you or NCS Expert. Hey David, First, ty for responding so fast.

The two main things to do are: 1. Write new ZCS values 2.
Recode DME You can write the new ZCS values using DIS or NCS Expert. I chose to use the latter, but after recoding the DME, I used SSS/Progman (E34 mode) to recode all modules to make sure the options were set correctly. As genuity noted above, ZCS was discontinued, so the procedure will be different for newer cars.
I believe a procedure similar to the one I used will work for cars with VO, with the difference being how you subtract the option codes. Last edited by cyberkaa; at 03:50 AM. During vmware setup you did select 'to allocate disk space now' and 'as a single file' and allocate a minimum of 18.635GB as drive space or 20gb makes no difference just leaves a little unpartioned space on virtual machines hdd EDIT: sorted vti Which version of vmware you running as I had problems with install running vmware server 2 PM for details of solutionI done everything that the walkthru told me to do. I'm not sure. I'm not on my laptop at the moment. 6 rings a bell tho. I got it to work again over the weekend but it all came up in German for some reason.
I shut it down again and now it won't start up. With this program, do u have to run it thru vmware all the time? Do I have to do something so I can revert back to it after I've shut it down?
