What do I need to flash F25

[efour6smg]

I recently replaced the RDC antenna on my X3 and it needs to be encoded to work. I currently have ISTA+ and Esys with a ENET cable. However, ISTA + requires an ICOM cable to program the modules. I've played with ESYS and got it working, but I'm not sure if flashing the RDC will encode the antenna. Would I be able to encode it with ISTA P or will Esys be able to do it? Any input is appreciated, thanks.

Find a shop that has what you need have them code it

You need to code, not flash, with Esys in order to code the module.

Got it done finally. For anyone else in the same boat with a corroded antenna. The RDC antenna on the F25 X3 is just behind the rear passenger wheel. It takes about 5 seconds to disconnect the old one and replace it with a new one. Then it needs to be encoded. Using Esys: (derived from BMW-4-Life's directions on bimmerfest for another ecu)

Once connected : -

Read FA

Activate FA

Read SVT

Select the 'RDC' ECU

So basically it's injecting a CAFD file into the module since there wasn't one before.
Thanks for the help.

Great info sir !!! I'm needing to inject my VIN into a replacement DSC / ABS unit. Do you know which module it's in ?

Many thanks, KB
