ICOM A2 INPA reset/calibrate steering angle on BMW F30

i'm retrofitting cruise control on a BMW F30 2005.
Changed the parts needed and added cruise control to the VO and coded the modules needed to code.

Next and last step is Resetting/Calibrating the steering angle sensor in INPA but it gives me the following message and nothing more happens:

Calibration steering angle only with steering wheel balancer !!

Okay this was actually really easy

1. Start by launching Toolset 32 / Tool32:

2. Choose "Load SGBD Group file"

3. Find your DSC module and click "open", (In my case for a E90 2005 F30 it was DSC_87.prg)

4. Scroll your way down to "lenkwinkel dsc abgleichen", ignition on and double click that.

Wait for the job to finish (took about 10 seconds for me)

DONE!

Steering Angle calibrated and VIN-matched to car.

Done!

How to run BMW ICOM A2 with E-SYS?

It is possible use the bmw icom a2 francais to work in the e-sys??

Yes, just lock it with EasyConnect, obd_ab625 and then insert your ICOM IP in ESYS connection manager.

Here are the steps:

You have to lock/check the ICOM IP in ISTA-Dso E-Sys can use it. Therefore you need a tool like EasyConnect or iToolRadar. 

Connect the ICOM, turn the ignition on, start f.e. iToolradar. Now you can see the connection from the ICOM (normally on 169.154.92.38), mark it and click on reserve

(in EasyConnect is different but as easy as itoolradar).

Start E-Sys, choose the target (f.e. F010) and click on "connection ICOM/Ethernet". Type the IP address (here 169.254.92.38), the port is 50160, so the result should be tcp://169.254.92.38:50160.

Connect and have fun.

Note: TRY ON YOUR RISK. The instruction via pictures is kind of different that via words, especially ICOM IP setup. Both can be tried.

Feedback on ICOM connection to E-sys

My experience says that you need patience to use a icom diag head with e-sys, it's a 50/50 chance that it will work or not, or, something may not work. Last time I had a problem that I could code a lot of modules, except the BKOMBI module was uncodable (it gave a error on coding, don't know what type of error).

Differences between BMW ICOM A & ICOM A2 diagnostics (from users)

Greeting and feedback from BMW icom a and icom a2 users, in terms of differences (pros and cons) of icom a & icom a2 emulators.

there is no major benefit for a change from Interface A to Interface A2.

well, they use same software,so all the function is the same.

The different between icom a and icom a2 is the quality of hardware.

A2 interface just has a more ruggetized and streamlined case design. BMW ICOM A2 wifi with updated firmware works good (firmware: v1.38)

update file i used:

icom-application-image-01-40-05-bootimage-01-25-02.zip  

icom-a1-a2-1.38-firmware-upgrade-files.zip 

The modified ICOM A2 for vehicles with OBD access receives a significantly more powerful processor and more storage capacity. Robust aluminium case will help to avoid damage when using in harsh enviroments.

Because of the updated hardware, Icom a2 has a longer life than icom a. ICOM A may be able to use two of three years, but ICOM A2 at least be used over three years.

However, bmw Icom whether it the A or A2 can be used for many years as long as its well maintained and protected from being kicked around. Most Icoms break from abuse and being kicked around. Best bet is to use a obdii to obdii for connection to the obdii of the car and allow the Icom to pay flat to the ground.

(Solved) Video module not visible in ICOM A2 NCS-Expert

I retrofited Videomodul Hybrid FBAS with to my BMW E91, and I think is working OK, just signal strenght is not so strong.

I'm using non OEM antennas (Ampire-ANT600) and heard that I need to code video module as "cabrio" and than it will send power signal to antenna amplifier.

But I have a problem, that I did not see any of VM kind module in NCS-expert.
I have pretty new daten 58. I can see that If I download full lenght trace file, there is some texts with antennas configuration,
but I just cant see and select module and LESSEN or CODIEREN.

But I can see VM in INPA and in Dr.Gini (VID_65_2) as well as I succesfully update firmware with WINkfp.

i modified the vehicle order to include the code for the video module and a have S601A in CAS/NFRM,

but theres few another in VO list like:
S602A ON-BOARD MONITOR WITHTV
S6UCA PREPARATION FOR TV FUNCTION
S750A TV/VIDEO (PAL)
S751A TV/VIDEO NTSC
S859A TV DECODING
S8S7A FLEET VEHICLE WITHOUT TV FUNCTION
SRK1A NAVI SYSTEM WITH TV/ON-BOARD MONITOR

Then i re-coded the CAS/FRM with the new FA - that was the solution

I changed FA from #0609 to #0911 an I can see and code TV now.
