Lost ASS Memory After Coding Back Comfort Mode
So I coded Sport Individual to default at engine start as well as ASS memory, but later decided it was using too much gas and coded it back to Comfort. At that point the ASS off light went out and the memory function was no longer active. Whenever I try recoding it, I get the error:
Transaktions-Report: Aktion: NCD Codieren DME_BAC2 [12] cdDeploy FinishedWithError cafd_00002742-000_160_009 NotExecutable I'm using Esys, Esysx and am on 7.19.53. Anyone know else lost their ASS memory and been able to get it back? |

Yes the engine was running. It worked the first time with it running. I’m wondering why coding a different module resulted in it going away. Anyway, will try again with the engine off. Thank you!!!

Maybe I wasn’t in diag mode. Thought I was as I did the three start presses and saw diag next to my VIN in esys in the target window. I was definitely using the same I-step that worked all the other times. I’ll take a screen shot next time I attempt.
Is there anything else besides the 3 start presses you have to do for diag and does the car indicate when it it has entered diag mode? In searching I’ve seen some mention of holding down the BC button after the 3 start presses but that was for other cars so not sure. |

I really think you should step back and ramp yourself up slowly until all of this is second nature. The road you're on is going to end in tears.

As for starting off slowly, I was under the impression that ASS memory was as basic as it gets, so I’m not sure what I’m stepping back to at this point. Thanks for all of your advice! |

My observation is that it seems you might be missing that "hard earned baseline understanding". Apologies if wrong, I am just going by the fundamental nature of the questions. Even if I am wrong, this observation ought to be valuable to others getting into coding.

No offense taken. You’ve been a huge help. I’ve gotten a few things coded already and I’m not likely to fiddle with it much after the ASS memory is back. Thanks to your assistance I have coded:
ADV Alpine Dash without logo Temp tire display Sport Plus at startup (decided not to keep it) Anti-dazzle (I think) Really not looking to do much else but ASS memory and maybe the auto speed assist thing which has been advised against so maybe not. |

I suspect the answer will be no, but is there any way to code default at startup to "Adaptive" mode using Bimmercode advanced mode? ..I dont think the ECU for driving modes supports advanced mode in Bimmercode?
I find myself changing to "Adaptive" mode every day, it offers the best transmission, engine, and suspension comfort. |

I got the ASS memory back by coding in diag mode as suggested. I guess I really wasn’t in diag mode initially. You actually have to press the start/stop button four times to enter it. I believe the key needs to be inside the car. The first press is a longer one as if starting it but without the foot on the brake followed by three rapid presses, then the instrument cluster shows diagnostic mode and you can program as usual.
I’ve not found any explicit instructions on how to enter diagnostic mode so that is why all the false starts with it. Actually that’s coding BMWs in general. So many missing bits and pieces that have to guessed at or stumbled upon. Oh well. I knew that going in. Thanks again for all of your assistance and patience! |

- I suspect most assumed that car unlocked and key in car was self-evident for anything interacting with the car; so I believe you're correct, I don't think I have ever seen anyone mention that requirement :-) - Diagnostic Mode in G-series are 3 start button presses without touching the brake (with key in the car), not 4 - lots of good stuff here as well as in the Bimmercode App itself; this is helpful for beginner coders even on ESys: https://www.bimmercode.app/support/

Thanks for the link. Maybe I am alone in this but I take things very literally with unfamiliar procedures. If it’s not said, I don’t do it. As for the number of presses. I did it several times and the three presses never did it for me. I had to get the message about putting my foot in the brake first and then do the three presses which means I already pressed the start/stop button once prior. I will experiment a few more times to get a feel for it, but that has been what I’ve seen.
Again, thank you for the tremendous resource you offer the community. |

This is the issue and the reason for the advice to start slow and struggle with the chaos early. There are a lot of tiny nuances that no-one will ever document, the struggle makes all of those second nature for the later fun stuff. Exceedingly pedantic or exceedingly literal generally doesn't work well, too many moving pieces and not just in the simple steps you've done so far, so it is worth it to be ready with that "early experience".

One thing I’ve noticed this time around is the the ASS memory is more sticky now that I did it in diag mode instead of with engine running. It was only staying on so long as I didn’t mess with the drive modes at all. As soon as I did, the ASS would turn back on. Now it’s holding even when I press one of the drive mode buttons which is much better.

When you switch to ECO, no matter the ASS memory settings, ASS gets turned on (light off). Beside Sport always turning ASS off (light on), Comfort and Adaptive are really the only two modes affected by the ASS memory coding. Is this not what you are now experiencing?

I had it coded for sport plus originally. If you are saying that forces ASS off then that might explain what I was experiencing. I had thought I had coded the ASS memory but in reality it was just the sport plus forcing ASS off. When ever I put I manually put it in comfort, the light would go out but that was probably just how it behaves with no ASS memory. After going back and coding in diag mode which you indicated is required, the light stays on all the time since I don’t touch eco. It’s just way too laggy and I haven’t seen any measurable benefit over comfort from it.
So that’s it! I never really had ASS memory coded until yesterday when I really truly coded in diag mode. Thanks for straightening that out! |
