Fake Car 1.3.0: more cars, your own car, and an About page.

New

  • Add your own car: save your car's vehicle order in E-Sys, click Add your own car in Fake Car, pick the file. You get a copy of your car with a made-up VIN, built from your PSdZData.
  • 5 more cars: BMW G20 330i, G05 X5 xDrive40i, G30 540i, F15 X5 xDrive35i, MINI F56 Cooper S.
  • Cars no longer need I-steps in car.txt: the builder finds them in your PSdZData.
  • Stored faults on the new cars.
  • About page and the version in the window title.
  • Fake Car tells you when a newer version is out, with a link. Nothing is downloaded by itself.
  • Faster car builds: the builder reads PSdZData in place instead of copying it.
  • FSC actions tested in E-Sys on the head unit: status, VIN and SID.

  • BMW F10 550i xDrive M Sport (US, 2015)

Every VIN is made up.

How to use

  1. Download FakeCar-1.3.0.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.

You need: Windows 10 or 11, E-Sys with PSdZData for the car's series. No .NET install needed.

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

Not working yet: on our test PC, E-Sys's TAL calculation for a flash stops with a PSdZ error, so a full flash run is not tested. G-series cars use SFA instead of FSC, which needs BMW's backend. ISTA is not tested.

Licence: free to use and to share unchanged. Changed versions may not be shared, and the "by kdrcoding" credit must stay.
