Airbag error lights/warnings easy coding!

[razorlab]

For people that have installed race bucket seats, I just confirmed that you can use Bimmergeeks Protool app to code out the airbag and seat position error.

Did it myself today in like 5 minutes.

Requirements:
Bimmergeeks Protool app (android only)
Protool Master License
OBD wifi adapter (Kies, Thor, or anything from Bimmergeeks) I used Kies

Steps:

1. Put car into accessory mode by pushing start button without foot on the brake.
2. Buckle seat belt (keeps car from going to sleep)
3. Enter diagnostic mode by tapping the start button three times fast (without foot on brake!)
4. Connect to car with Protools app
5. Find airbag section in Protool
6. Select "coding"
7. Select "edit coding"
8. Select "sector 1: 0001B29"
9. Confirm data backup
10. Select "3000 equipment"

Now, once in "3000 equipment"...

If you only have the drivers side bucket seat (I currently only have the drivers seat installed)

Disable the following:

ZUENDKREIS_1
SITZPOSITIONSERKENNUNG_SITZMEMORY_FAHRER

If you have replaced BOTH your seats with bucket seats, disable all of the following:

ZUENDKREIS_1
ZUENDKREIS_2
CISMATTE_BEIFAHRER
SITZPOSITIONSERKENNUNG_SITZMEMORY_FAHRER
SITZPOSITIONSENSOR_BF

Then select "finalize"

After that is done, close the app and turn the car off fully (once the green LED on the shifter turns off) and then restart the car.

No more dash lights or warnings!

Thanks for the write up! Man, ‘android only’ is a bummer

 

[Xproplayer]

Is there a bimmercode equivalent?

Yea, I bought one just for this. Next thing I am looking for is a way to disable the EDC stuff so the cancellers won't be needed

Is there a bimmercode equivalent?

Unfortunately no, bimmercode doesn't have the capability.

Thank you

This is awesome, I was considering a seat down the road but was hesitant due to errors and such. Lets say for example I decide to take a long raodtrip and decide to put the stock seat back in, Would I get an error? Id assume even so, this would be the fix.

If you put your stock seat back in, and want the oem seat airbag to work, you would need to reactivate it via protool.

Can you code out the stock seat belt buckle too?

You can do that with Bimmercode.

Appreciate it! I think I may have figured something out. There are some ghost errors but not creating CEL

1. Unplugged the belt buckle first from the harness.

2. Disabled Gurtkontact_FA

Holy shit I’m getting too old for this. Looks like I’ll just buy a knee pads to brace myself

Edit: finding myself back on this thread thinking, with Brian @razorlab’s help, anything is possible!

Hi there. So I was wondering what settings you used to connect to Protool? I’m using the MHD universal adapter which according to Burger Tuning is compatible with Protool. When I try to connect to the adapter, Protool says it cannot connect or maybe it said it couldn’t find my car but I was definitely connected to the adapter using wifi. I was using the auto-detect function. Thanks.
