Help with coding new G80 laserlights
Hello all!

I have had a unlucky week and my right headlight on my G80 M3 has been damaged due to a rock/stone (light still works, but lens/glass is cracked). So I have bought a new replacement laserlight from BMW.

Does anyone know which steps to perform to code this headlight to the car?

I have never done this before but I was going to try the following:

Step 1 - Review software CAFD version in E-Sys for left headlight
Step 2 - Flash same CAFD to right headlight, so both are same software version
Step 3 - Calculate test plan in ISTA and follow steps

Anything else missing?

PS: I have only ISTA and E-Sys but no flashing data (I will download flash data of course once I know CAFD version)... also I have no ICOM just ENET + battery charger. 

Any advice? Or shall I just take it to BMW and pay them to code it for me?

Thank you!

Thank you… that’s all just Esys CAF coding? No need to flash same CAFD as left headlight?

Thanks that’s easier than I thought!

I could but wasn’t sure if ISTA will try to flash too - I only used Esys for flashing as ISTA without ICOM can be unreliable?

Coding not needed, when You use control unit from old headlight

I will find out this weekend when I do the swap, but I think coding is required, maybe not the flash unless it is on 255_255_255 CAFD
