I just recently installed OVMS into my bmw i3. It is limited to updating SoC about every half hour during AC charging. The i3 goes to sleep during AC charging. However during Fast DC charging it updates SoC about every 3 seconds. It does not have graphics for a BMW i3. Yet. It cannot send any...

I did mine by filling through the vent hole. After 6 years and 120k km.

Got mine on Aliexpress.

You can get one of these. Does the same job. https://a.aliexpress.com/_mOnFLhg

I replaced the buttons on my steering wheel for TJA. I bought the TJA buttons on EBay and replaced the originals. https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/325316322623?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=705-154756-20017-0&ssspo=w8Dr-a5jSwC&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=2i6djiueRjS&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

I have been using TJA (www.Quidzel.com) for 5 years. I installed it and did all Esys programming myself. The module just simulates that you are holding the steering wheel. The rest is programming. It works flawlessly. Except it will follow a car taking an exit on the motorway. Something to watch...

There are Facebook pages about people who build their own HOD emulators to enable TJA. Like this one https://www.facebook.com/groups/BMWi3/permalink/6432781516795655/?mibextid=W9rl1R

Just wandering if anyone has done their own HV battery health test using the BMW diagnostic software ISTA+. It involves fully charging the HV battery and then fully discharging the battery using the air-conditioning with the windows open. You can get this software on the net for a reasonable...

I read about BMW i3 AC compressor failures on the 2014/15 models on almost a daily basis sadly on the Facebook page - BMW i3 Worldwide Group. If caught early the replacement is cheap, if not the metal bits from the AC comoressor can go through the whole system which then becomes even more...

That is strange. :? Sounds like the light indicator for TJA is active is faulty. Try asking Sam from Quidzel. [email protected]

After pressing the button to activate JSA (bottom button LHS on steering wheel) which is a different button which activates ACC. When the conditions are right i.e. a white lane line is visible on each side and a car is also visible in front the steering wheel indication light should come on by...

Congratulations. Just need to use FDL coding for the rest. Read about it in the same shortcut you used before https://www.bmwesys.com/guides/Beginners%20Guide%20Coding.pdf. Pretty straight forward.

Found the same error here https://f30.bimmerpost.com/forums/showthread.php?t=696777&page=106 You need to use the latest version ESYS 3.28.1, ESYS Launcher & PSdZDATA v.63.3 I strictly followed all the instructions from this link: https://www.bmwesys.com/guides/Beginners%20Guide%20Coding.pdf

Anything else other than the above will give you an error. Make sure that you have not inadvertently added a space somewhere or added a full stop "." is not allowed either. Hope this helps but maybe you already know this.

Just received my TJA HOD module in the mail today. Installed it. Did the VO coding thing followed by coding the ECUs. Appeared that nothing had changed except losing existing code changes. I repeated all the coding a few times. Then I just happened to press a particular button on the steering...

So to code the SVT you press the "Read SVT" button instead of "Read ECU" button. Then right click the ECU then select "Code". This is the bit I find confusing. What is the difference between read SVT or ECM? Great, there was no mention of it on the Quidzel website. I am still waiting on...

I have recently ordered the Quidzel TJA module. Probably the first install in Australia. Does anyone have clear step by step instructions of the coding using Esys to make the TJA work on a BMW i3. So far I have managed to install Esys on a virtual machine program on Windows 10 to defeat the...

DC Fast free Charging using 50kW charger at Mittagong RSL. Only took 10 minutes to charge from 45% to 95%. Seriously awesome, that is fast!!!! https://www.plugshare.com/location/166796

I am not sure either. Here is a photo of my Type 2 plug of my CCS 2 to CCs 1 cable adapter. It still has the CP (control pilot) wire connected from the Type 2 plug through to the Type 1 plug. The CS or PP pin is not used as it's only purpose is to inform the EV it has a EV plug connected which...
