need help with coding 2012 X5 35d (E70)

yober · 07-20-2019, 03:17 AM

Recently I have acquired 2012 X5 35d (E70) and would like to add couple features like folding mirrors, closing rear gate door with remote. I'm wondering how to code it.
I have a bit of experience of coding my 2014 X5 50i (F15) via laptop with ENET cable and E-sys program but not sure if the same software would be able to code E70.
Any hints would be greatly appreciated.

I would suggest a simple google search using something like "BMW coding forums" as the search phrase...should give you some results of "active" forums that can give you excellent tips on what is available (as of late) and what you can do and what is the best way to do it based on the generation & model BMW you have.

Some of the multiple BMW forums have some great sub forums (such as a coding forum) that is active and up to date.

Good luck.

Last year i have purchased ENET cable for coding my F15.
I read that for coding E70 people suggesting K+DCan cable. So I did go ahead and ordered it online.
Just curious if anyone has been able to code E70 with ENET cable?

I just received K+DCAN cable. It has a switch but no indication on it which side/position is for K-line and which side is for DCAN.
I have asked the seller but they don't have the answer.
Really would appreciate some help to figure this one out.

I use Pro Tool, it's Android based, and it's great!

They also sell high quality cables.

Check them out.

For some reason I can't establish connection with my car, i.e. I plugged K+DCAN cable to laptop then ran INPA and the Battery and Ignition dots are white.
Any idea what can be done?
