I GOT IT on my 128i no nav! It's quite simple. Everyone always only mentions FA_write to the CAS. But you must also go to FRM and NFRM to remove $2VB from the VO. I pressed delete 3 total times in the VO menus. Once in CAS, once in FRM, once in NFRM. Then you do FA_write.
Remove fuse 27 (TPMS fuse) Using E89 chassis in NCS. You must remove $2VB from CAS, FRM, and NFRM using NCSExpert under the FA/VO menu. Then you must FA_write to CAS and NFRM. This is the key part nobody mentions. You have to change the VO in all locations that exist. Then sg_codieren to DSC and KOMBI. May have to add CAPPL/CIC for Nav but I don't have it so I'm not sure. My light is gone. Next I will try to activate the Euro style FTM. Note: you will lose your time and date settings and your ABS/DSC error warning will appear for a moment. Don't panic.

Great news!
So your car is just a 135i without idrive? What year? I also don't have idrive... Will be interested to see what it takes to get the FTM to show up and calibrate correctly for a non idrive car. The other X3 post I found is here: http://www.bimmerfest.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=856574 ianc Edited to say: Looks like RDC is actually the German abbr. for TPMS now that I take another look at that last link? Reifen Druck somethingorother?

I have a '13 128i without Nav. It should be almost identical for you. I forgot to mention that I used the E89 chassis in NCS Expert. I am following some guy who had success on the E84 to see if I can activate the euro style FTM. I think it'll probably work. He used E89 chassis for the coding and was successful but he had nav. Seems to me that just makes less work since it's one less module to code. edit: I clicked the link. Yeah that's the guy I am looking at. Looks fairly simple tbh. |

As a hypothetical question, if you removed $2VB and added $265 to the VO, then set NCSExpert to 'process whole car', wouldn't it make all the necessary changes to the various modules that required it?

I am not sure. I am still a novice NCS Expert user. I would probably stay away from such functions and individually code the bare minimum modules. Who knows what messing with ALL of them under the E89 chassis could do. I've no idea.

I haven't gotten around to trying it yet. I'm a little confused by some phrasing in the X1 instructions so I've asked another user who had success to clarify. I will probably have it done this week. I will certainly come back and post here to let you know!

Had a fellow who runs a small coding business for BMW's locally (sf bmw coding . com) use his hardware ICOM B interface to code my MOST radio yesterday. He said just physically unplug the TPMS module, remove $2VB from the VO, and default code DSC, KOMBI, and NFRM to disable TPMS and enable FTM. Haven't tried it yet but will soon...

The fuse for my E92 335i non-iDrive was 13 and 28. I pulled both and my Homelink stopped working since 28 was shared with it. I put fuse 28 back in and left 13 out. And it worked! While in there, I also pulled 25 to disable to Seatbelt Arm. Last edited by blisstik; 03-31-2017 at 10:35 AM.. |

reifen = tire druck = pressure Kontrolle = control IDK why the Germans don't say RDK. lol The EU RDC uses the car's ABS sensors to detect a flat tire. It works very well in real life conditions. We got stuck with the TPMS crap bc of Firestone/Explorer controversy & Congress. Dack

I think instead of pulling fuses, I would prefer to actually remove the TPMS module itself; simplify things and perhaps save a pound or two of weight. It's in the trunk on the right hand side under the trim piece to the right of the batt (which is a PITA to remove and reinstall; part of the reason why I haven't gotten to this yet). Will be interested to see any screen shots you might want to post of the calibration, etc. of the system for a no nav car? Congrats and thanks for posting, ianc

I have no screen shots. Once you're in NCS Expert, it's fairly obvious how it goes just from my text. |

Did you follow the procedure in the owner's manual for setting it up? All OK? Were you able to test it yet by letting some air out of one of the tires?

I removed TPMS but did not recode RDC. There's nothing to test for me. My wheels don't have TPMS sensors in them so no error means that part worked.

Dredging up this thread, but just wanted to say thanks for starting it, got my TPMS coded out this weekend. Tried to code in the EU RDC, haven't tested if it worked, but didn't run into any errors either.
The link: http://www.bimmerfest.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=856574 was quite useful. My car has no iDrive, so I did not have any CIC parameters to code. |

Adding this for others who stumble here
I have a 2013 e82 135is with CCC (not CIC) and for this year the TPM system consists of the 5 components which are the tire monitors and the RDC/Antenna combo module. The location for me of the combo box was attached to the forward of the wheel well (gas tank?) underneath the rear of the car. It is literally reachable by hand and about center. For others it seems to be under the driver side seat between front/rear wheel and you have to drop the under guard panels to access it. I was able to successfully code out TPM system and enable FTM system with ProTool even though I am CCC and not CIC. I didn't feel like replacing the stupid RDC at a cost of $300 new or risk it with a used one. Here is what I did.... Make backups before performing, not responsible if you brick your ride, do at your own risk. 1) Disable/disconnect physical TPMS RDC module. You must do this first. 2) Code OUT $2VB and ADD IN $265 in the Vehicle Order. In ProTool I did this by editing the string directly in the Vehicle Order editing option. 3) Change the following codes in MASK/CCC, KOMBI, and DSC: KOMBI: RDC_ALIVE Disable KOMBI: MMI_ENA_RPA_RDC Enable KOMBI: RDC_VERBAUT Disable KOMBI: DSC_MIT_RPA_CC Enable KOMBI: RDC_DISP_SWITCH Disable Mask/CCC: RPA_CIC or RPA_CCC (If this exists, I can't recall) Enable Mask/CCC: RDC_CCC or RDC_SAFETY (I forget the name, but anything related to RDC in this module disable) Disable DSC: AUSSTATTUNG_RPA (it may be another name, but anything related to RPA here you enable) Enable Basically for this chassis with CCC you are disabling anything RDC related and enabling anything RPA related on those 3 modules. Make backups before performing, not responsible if you brick your ride, do at your own risk. Note that I directly edited these options for each ECU rather than allowing ProTool to overwrite the ecu's once I changed the vehicle order. You may have success there too as the idea is that when you change the VO, it will adjust the respective module options by coding them to default based on the VO edit. I chose not to do this as I had other coding options I did not want to have to go back and redo. |
