Brake Force Display Coding

Scooba_Steve · Post by **Scooba_Steve** » Mon Feb 27, 2017 11:21 pm

Following on from another thread. I have a facelift E85 and would like to activate flashing brake lights for the BFD as I think this is a more effective method than the fogs coming on.

Current LCZ dump:
PIN49_37_BFD nicht_aktiv BRAKE FORCE DISPLAY WITH INNER TAIL LIGHTS / LEFT REAR FOG LIGHT (DEPENDS ON CHASSIS)
PIN38_20_BFD nicht_aktiv BRAKE FORCE DISPLAY WITH OUTER TAIL LIGHTS (DEPENDS ON CHASSIS)
BFD_BLINK_EINZEIT wert_02 BRAKE FORCE DISPLAY FLASH OFF PERIOD
BFD_BLINK_AUSZEIT wert_02 BRAKE FORCE DISPLAY FLASH ON PERIOD
BFD_ABS_STUFE3 nicht_aktiv BRAKE FORCE DISPLAY STAGE 3 ACTIVATED BY ANTILOCK BRAKING SYSTEM (ABS)
BFD_STUFE3_TIMER wert_02 BRAKE FORCE DISPLAY STAGE 3 TIMER
BFD_SW2_STUFE3 nicht_aktiv BRAKE FORCE DISPLAY STAGE 3 ACTIVATED BY DECELERATION SENSOR 2
PIN5_10_BFD nicht_aktiv BRAKE FORCE DISPLAY WITH BRAKE LIGHTS
BFD_SW1_STUFE3 nicht_aktiv BRAKE FORCE DISPLAY STAGE 3 ACTIVATED BY DECELERATION SENSOR 1
BFD_SW2_STUFE2 nicht_aktiv BRAKE FORCE DISPLAY STAGE 2 ACTIVATED BY DECELERATION SENSOR 2
BFD_MINDEST_GESCHW wert_01 BRAKE FORCE DISPLAY MINIMUM SPEED
BFD_STUFE_2_VERZOEG wert_01 BRAKE FORCE DISPLAY STAGE 2 DELAY
BFD_STUFE_2_MAX_EIN wert_01 BRAKE FORCE DISPLAY STAGE 2 OFF?
BFD_SW1_STUFE2 aktiv BRAKE FORCE DISPLAY STAGE 2 ACTIVATED BY DECELERATION SENSOR 1
BFD_ABS_STUFE2 aktiv BRAKE FORCE DISPLAY STAGE 2 ACTIVATED BY ANTILOCK BRAKING SYSTEM (ABS)
BFD_STUFE2_TIMER wert_01 BRAKE FORCE DISPLAY STAGE 2 TIMER
PIN29_30_BFD aktiv BRAKE FORCE DISPLAY WITH INNER TAIL LIGHTS / REAR FOG LIGHTS (DEPENDS ON CHASSIS)
BFD3_ASC_TIMER wert_01
BEI_NSL_KEIN_BFD nicht_aktiv BRAKE FORCE DISPLAY NOT SIMULTANEOUSLY WITH REAR FOG LIGHTS
PIN38_BFD aktiv BRAKE FORCE DISPLAY WITH RIGHT OUTER TAIL LIGHT (DEPENDS ON CHASSIS)
PIN49_BFD aktiv BRAKE FORCE DISPLAY WITH LEFT INNER TAIL LIGHT / LEFT REAR FOG LIGHT (DEPENDS ON CHASSIS)

Anyone have any more detail to help me out - trail and error would be very time consuming, plus I'd have to find a road to keep ragging it to a stop on...
I assume that I need to activate the Stage 3 and pin 5&10 (but can check this with WDS), and disable stage 2.
Anyone know the difference between deceleration sensors?

I've wanted to do this with my Carly app, tried a few times without success and don't have the time right now for extensive trial and error! Sorry I can't help!

Thanks anyway - while Carly seems quite good I do like to see the code. It seems straightforward but wondered if anyone had actually done it on E85/6. I've seen it on the E46s and it's pretty effective in my mind.

I had no idea this was a thing! I want a 3rd flashing brake light on hard braking!!!

Brave man reversing toward the camera

I *think* the options are different for facelift?

Jingle: once I get sorted I'll let you know how it's done, though I plan to disable fogs as BFD and make all 3 brake lights flash.

First step is to get NCS working on Windows 10...

Same options on all z4's and e46's . I do that quite often on various bmw's.

So what on and what off?

Hi guys, I'm not sure this is the right post to ask that but I was wondering if there is someone that knows how to change code the rear fog light using ncs expert. I've it on the right side but I want it on the left side or on both. I know that I have to change the bulb on the left but I've no idea how to code it

This is not the right thread to ask in...

Any new info on activating the BFD on our E85? I too would like to code it to FLASH instead of just light up during hard braking.

Thanks!

I just sent a "plea for help" to Carly Support, asking for additional information concerning the "Brake Lights" section of the coding functions. The descriptions for the E85 functions are just about non-existent. By comparison, the same section for the E89 appears well documented, and contains the information I think we're all seeking. I'll post if anything useful is provided.

I'm sure this isn't an option for the e85/e86? Not sure you can do it even with NCS or other "advanced" software in comparison to (easy to use) Carly.

I got this far:

I think with some fiddling I could figure out the options but was happy with the flashing centre.
