Excellent idea ,could you joint a pict of each interesting screen ?

I'm working with TOAF on an unfamiliar laptop (the wife's old one) so would really struggle to do anything like that as it takes me all my time to navigate the programme at present. :nerd: I'm a bit slow with a computer (give me spanners any day!). :grin:I did previously also manage to switch off auto door locking and get double flashing hazards, so I'm feeling quite proud of myself so far. I've also cleared all the fault codes from previous years (luckily, none have re-appeared).

Oh guys... New playground...
I have to Play with TOAF because my ABS light is appear today, but I will do this after long weekend, at Wednesday... Keep playing. It is nice to hear that you like it...

 

In my case what I plan to do with TOAF today:

I've got a message centre IPK from a right hand drive with the primary speed reading in miles which I want to fit in my lhd which doesn't have the message centre. The wife is not at all happy about this but I've promised her that I'll only change it if I can activate the digital speed modification.

Is there an easy way of doing it with TOAF or is it still a case of changing "byte at 00A8 to 21" which at the moment doesn't make much sense but might do once I activate the programme. (Got BMW Scanner on standby).

Regards

 

If you change ipk there will be difference between vin and odo... Maybe err at display...

Do you have virgin eeprom ? Then ipk will rewrite vin and odo from LSM...

Digital speedometer is an option to activate via toaf

 

Not a virgin eeprom, I thought there was a way around this now by copying the vin and odo from the LSM?

But going out in a minute with the laptop and see if I can activate the digital speedometer with TOAF.

Did you solve your ABS issue? I'll be back to report later.

Regards,

 

Nice one Mike, I should be set up next week to have a look at TOAF, The first thing I want to do is to disable the atomatic door locking as soon as the car reaches a certain speed, It's annoyed me from day one of buying the car.
so I may be looking for suggestions as to the right place in TOAF to disable it.

 

You have to enter BCU... And then find speed locking feature

 

Great thread, great idea to document the programs features and also anything the Polish boys need to know re bugs etc as well.
Im still waiting for my bl..dy cable from China as no one over here seems to stock anything OBD2 cable wise !!!
All we need now is a sort of online manual for users!!!

 

Ok thanks for the replies especially the suggestion of waiting for the next version before attempting again. The only version I have at present is 43.

It'll be interesting to see as to whether the IPK reports an error or not as there seem conflicting views.

I think I've got Phil-T4's digital solution somewhere but haven't tried it as a) didn't have a message centre IPK b) was unsure if it would work with XP. With all this information around I need to start saving and indexing.

Regards

 

Little question to longer86


In case of non starting on a diesel, can we see if cam and cranck sensors work ?


Mike

 

As I know... Not

But if crank sensor is broken Then rev needle didnt move during cranking

 

OK,so my test is still useful ..:laugh:

 

Ok,finally got my obd2 cable ,soldered pins 7&8 together ,got the TOAF program to work - sort of.
Cleared a heap of faults on a number of modules but have some questions.
I believe I have the latest download -43 but when I open the EWS module I get a box with data in it called data module but the top part of the screen is empty- does the current version read all the EWS data ? as I remember seeing the EWS data on EWS lite where it brings up all the keys etc but not on TOAF and not sure if you can pair the EWS to the BCU ? or it the DDE.
I opened the BCU and can see 2 active keys and the same numbers as on the stickers inside the key (barcode) but not sure how you add a new key (another fob).
Also noticed when in one of the modules I can activate my memory seats,I ticked the box but there is no save button,just reset and a couple of other options.Dosn't seem to stay ticked and just revert back to its original settings when going back into that module.How do you save the new setting in the module ?
Seems to be a few modules that TOAF dosnt seem to open.??

 

Saving TOAF screenshots

First, a how to make & save toaf screenshots with windows XP.

Go to start
All programs
Accessories
Paint , and open , get used to maximising and minimising without closing.

Minimise paint
Now presuming you have Toaf open & running with a page of information to save.
On your keyboard press "Prt SC" or print screen

Maximise paint, Look near the top left....
Press "Edit" , drop down to "Paste" and left click
Press "File" , drop down to "Save as" and left click

Pop up menu appears , select where you want to save, "Save in" (desktop) or wherever you choose,
move curser down to file name, add number or name as you want
"Save as type" on drop down and "JPEG" works well.
Finally click "save" thats it.

But if making multiple screenshots , go back to "File" drop down to "New" then minimise paint to start all over again .
Looks long-winded but only takes seconds.

When I first try to connect, comms port 3 comes up toaf says connected but cannot read scan car. So disconnect , go to settings ,com drop down and get ...

Click on com6 and connect. Scan car works as do most modules.
Then for example on the scan car page theirs a save button which when pressed gives a windows pop up ...

I have no problem saving to desktop using the toaf scan file name but the *bin file gets saved under a "VLC" icon and cannot be opened and read. XP has no idea what to do with *bin.

The link is just some more random toaf screenshots.

Thank You

 

Bin files you can open and edit via hex editor...
And you will see how this things working without graphic interface , names, labels and thick buttons.

We started to BCU coding in hex editor just numbers 0 and 1...

 

Im learning in small steps , added memory seats today (ZCS code) and believe it or not now have memory seats that function !!!

 

I finally got around to installing TOAF & did my first successful attempt at changing an option. Pretty simple stuff to most of you guys but a big step for me:grin: I hated the "autolock after run" It has annoyed me from day one of buying the car.

I would like to thank Longer86 for pointing me in the right direction in TOAF to disable it. Thank you Sir.

 

i haven't looked into it yet. but can you activate the abs unit so you can do a full brake fluid change like you can using t4?

 

Hi everyone, not sure if this post is still live but today I downloaded and installed the latest version of TOAF on my windows 10 surface tablet, plugged in this cable

http://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/INPA-Ediaba...rface-OBD2-OBDII-Diagnostic-Tool-Cable-For-BMW-/311650426880?txnId=758367990021

Plugged it into the car, set to com port 3.... And all worked!!!!! Service indicator reset, drive away locking activated and auto rear demist deactivated. Also activated key open/close function but doesn't seem to have done anything.

Very pleased with myself as I am a total 100% novice! But very easy to do

 

Great to see that folks are doing OK with this. I'm not good with computers but the screenshots are very helpful. Thanks to everyone for their comments and to the TOAF guys for all they have achieved.
