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!

Use e-sys with coding. Them carbration with ista.

- Secure coding (NCD 2.0) fit to FA changed (Typschlussel, Serie, Region...).
- Remove component protection MGU18/21 (only case BDC replace).
- ID8.5 (SFA) conversion/ change region map.
- Virgin Kafas4, MRR, RAM used.
- Mgu patch, fsc custom match to vin, remove CP.
- Reset ISN 7DTC, 8HP for F, G serie (include EGS7).
- Write ISN MG1/MD1 with remotely.
- Carplay/Android Auto MGU with/without ATM (6AE).

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
