Anyone know if INPA/EDIABAS with CarSoft cable/module can be used to disable daytime running lights on a 2001 330i?
Edit: Looks like this setup is only for Diagnostics. What do I need to archive what I am looking for?
TIA

INPA has a tool called NCS that will code.
Ultra dangerous to use though...
Otherwise, you need DIS v44 or SSS/Progman.

Hi ncs is a tool with the ability to change the coding on bmw modules i find it very fast and easy to use .The hardest part is understanding some of the german abbreviations .The software is friendly in that when you make a mistake you can always recode back to factory default for that module.You also get a lot more coding options than with dis.
^^ true....
But if you "smoke" a module, which is easy to do, you have ZERO recourse.

I can help here is my cheat sheet and you should start with car/key settings

What happened to your cheat sheet??
This would be pretty helpful righ tnow..
I know this is an older thread, but this appears to be the closest lead I have been able to find. Anyone have a tutorial on how to do this? Sick of the daytime running lights on my e39.
You need INPA pack (find here on forums), BMW USB cable bridged at pins 7&8, and a little bit of help with the settings.
Does your car have a 20-pin port under the hood?

And keep these settings in mind for NCSExpert, Light Module:
TAGFAHRLICHT_ECE set to 'nicht_aktiv' (if not already)
AL_ALS_DRL set to 'nicht_aktiv' (if not already)
GED_FL_ALS_DRL set to 'nicht_aktiv' (if not already)
TAGFAHRLICHT_DAN set to 'nicht_aktiv' (if not already)

Thanks! I have INPA and a 20 pin port. So I have to pull the light module and set it to the variables listed w/ NCS?
Use this as a guide (same idea),
BMW E36 IHKA.pdf
but replacing E36 with E39,
Replace IHKA with LM,
and modify the settings above in the fsw_psw.trc file, and write back in fsw_psw.man.

Awesome! Thank you very much!
You will have to use the 20-pin port. It is always wise to keep a backup copy of the LM fsw_psw.trc.

Yeah, I messed something up on my E36 when I did my manual swap. Managed to disable cruise control permanently.
So I managed to turn off the daytime running lights following the advice in this thread and now my warning messages (key in ignition, fog light out, fasten seatbelt) are all in German. I couldn't find the option in there for language. Any advice on where to code the language?
Post your fsw_psw.man file you used.
1. Did you code only the LCM module, or did you code more modules than that on accident?
2. Which of the above parameters did you have to change to nicht_aktiv?

In your KMB (KOMBI, Instrument cluster) "Sprache" needs to say "us".

I had to change the GED_Fl_ALS_DRL setting. I set it to only the LCM. I will have to grab it off of my computer tomorrow.

Here's the file I uploaded to my car (without the txt extension).

That is the new one I used to turn off the daytime running lights.
I will check that.
Here is a fun one, my gauge cluster messages are now back in English. I didn't do anything to change it.
Now that is strange.
