Fake Car 1.1.0: more of what you can do with a real car.

New

  • Flash software: E-Sys's TAL calculation finds what is out of date, and the module reports the new version after it is flashed
  • Write FA, FP and I-steps to the VCM; they stay written
  • Enabling codes (FSC) on the head unit and the instrument cluster: store, read, check, cancel
  • Coding from a newer CAFD shows that CAFD in the module's software list
  • New car: BMW F30 340i with old cluster software, for flash practice (cars\F30_340i_US_flashtest)
  • OUTDATED=60 in car.txt leaves modules on the software they were built with, so you have something to flash
  • Cars are built with the software E-Sys's own KIS calculation wants, so a car that is up to date has nothing to flash
  • Small "by kdrcoding" in the window

Car models

  • BMW F10 550i xDrive M Sport (US, 2015), 35 modules
  • BMW F30 340i M Sport (US, 2017), 23 modules
  • BMW F30 340i with old cluster software (flash practice), 23 modules
  • BMW F80 M3 (US, 2017), 24 modules

Every VIN is made up. Coming from 1.0.0: delete the generated files in each car folder (keep car.txt, FA.xml, faults.txt), or just unzip into a new folder, so the cars are rebuilt with the new software lists.

How to use

  1. Download FakeCar-1.1.0.zip and unzip it anywhere.
  2. Start FakeCar.exe, pick a car, press Start.
  3. In E-Sys: Open Connection, pick the car by its VIN (or use the gateway URL tcp://127.0.0.1:6801), Connect.

To flash: Comfort Mode > TAL-Calculating, Read FA, Read SVT (ECU), pick Complete flash, set I-Step (shipm.) to the car's ISTEP_SHIPMENT from car.txt, Calculate, TAL calculation, Save, Execute.

You need: Windows 10 or 11, E-Sys with PSdZData (F010 for the F10, F020 for the F30 and M3). No .NET install needed.

Windows may warn about an app from the internet the first time: More info, then Run anyway.

Tested with E-Sys 25.10. A full flash run and the FSC actions inside E-Sys are not tested yet. ISTA is not tested yet.
