I had my $2VB deleted for years and ran on flat tire twice...ruining two tires I have e92 m3 with cic. Just added $265 to the VO and FA_wrote to CAS and NFRM and coded suggested changes to KOMBI, CIC and M3DSC. Most RDC stuff was already how it was suggested To change. Didn’t try driving with low air but are you saying this won’t work either? My cic tire monitor is all green but I think it’s been this way. I’ll try it out and report back. Meanwhile if anyone e90 has that working please update!

Quick question:
After coding to FTM, did you plugged back the module (under car) or not?

I have a 2012 Z4 e89 and it sounds like I have both a module and an antenna. Only 1 person in this thread mentioned the antenna. Do I need to remove it or just unplug the wires from the module?

Were you able to remove TPMS from your E89? I have a 2009 E89 that I want to deactivate the TPMS.

No, I started looking where it was supposed to be, but the job looks terribly messy with taking lots of stuff apart so I ended up just leaving it. Maybe over the winter when there's less incentive to drive a convertible, I'll invest the time. If you end up doing yours, it would be great to post some pictures of where exactly it is and how to get to it.

2010 E91 with RDC communication errors. Tried to swap to another RDC module from a 2011 E93, but still comms errors. Saw this thread and followed the steps to unplug RDC module, remove $2VB, add $265, write VO to FRM & CAS, write defaults to KOMBI, CIC, CAS, FRM (called NFRM for me), and DSC (called BDSC in my car).
Checked the custom manipulations, and only had to enable MMI_ENA_RPA_RDC, the rest already matched. Worked perfectly, upon restarting, I was able to reset the flat tire monitor in idrive, then after driving about 5 miles, I see this! Thanks! |

On a side note, I modified the $vo to remove $2vb and added $265. I then wrote it to CAS and NFRM. I then reset those ECU's and others back to defaults. Flat tire monitoring seems to be active, but, when it reset it displays "malfunction." I am guessing the RDC module still being plugged in is causing this error? I also saw someone say you still need to manually code "RDC_Active" or whatever to nicht_active even after doing the above coding? Could that be the malfunction error? or is it the RDC? Sorry for all the questions. I'll play around with it tonight. Just trying to save a lot of frustration for something so simple. |

on a 2011, it should be a 6 inch long stick looking thing clipped into a plastic snap clip thing on the right rear wheel/fender liner. If you pull down the wheel liner under the right rear fender, it should be there... the fender liner has a fold where it goes from flat under the fender/bumper to curved under the wheel, on my 2011 it was right at that fold.
Another way to think of it is that it is attached right under the battery tray, on the outside of the car, hidden behind the fender and the fender liner. |

what hardware & software is needed
Hello, this thread is great in explaining the steps to disable TPMS and activate FTM, but what hardware and software is needed to perform this coding? Thank you.

i ended up buying Veepeak bluetooth adapter and Bimmercode, there is an expert mode but i haven't tried going into that yet. Hopefully somebody else could chime in.

I think the folks who were originally involved with this thread have probably replaced their x1 with something else so no longer even care about this issue. I posted in another forum too and there are over 200 views, but no responses. Not sure what to do Botlfed98.

On my cars, I used a K-DCAN USB adapter I bought from ebay for like 9 dollars and for software I used NCS Expert. The software can be downloaded here:
https://www.bimmergeeks.net/downloads The installation steps are dumb and complicated and you'll have to look for them, i have a vm that still has them installed. Bimmercode can almost definitely do it, but I've never used Bimmecode so can't comment on the steps. You need to modify the vehicle order, then 'default code' a bunch of modules, then check custom coding to make sure certain values are correct.

There are no coder/scanner tools that work directly without the custom BMW software to do VO coding.
You should be able to do this part with bimmercode expert mode. 1. Unplug the RDC module 2. Take a backup of each of the 3 modules (DSC, KOMBI, CIC) 3. Use expert mode to change all the below 4. Power off and restart the car, go to your CIC flat tire monitor screen and reset, then drive around for about a mile CIC module: This makes the CIC show the correct flat tire monitor instead of the tire pressure monitor, and allows you to tell the DSC to reset it RPA_CIC: aktiv RDC: nicht_aktiv RDC_SAFETY: nicht_aktiv For a CCC car, ignore the above, and set RDC_CCC: nicht_aktiv on the CAPPL module. KOMBI module: This makes the flat tire icon respond to the DSC saying a tire is flat, instead of expecting the RDC module to say it, and in non-CIC cars, it makes it so the flat tire reset works RDC_ALIVE: nicht_aktiv MMI_ENA_RPA_RDC: aktiv RDC_VERBAUT: nicht_aktiv DSC_MIT_RPA_CC: aktiv RDC_DISP_SWITCH: nicht_aktiv DSC module (XDSC or BDSC): This turns on the flat tire monitoring on the DSC. Without this change, nothing will be monitored AUSSTATTUNG_RPA: aktiv For a non-CIC/non-CCC car, one of the KOMBI settings might be wrong, but I don't have a non-CIC car anymore to test with. DSC is the antilock brake module, and also handles cruise control on some cars. It can monitor for a flat tire by noticing that one wheel is turning faster than the others. It is possible there is an additional setting change that isn't listed here, in which case it might not work. Just put everything back and restore from backups if that is the case. If you bring in your car for dealer service they might reset one of these settings back to factory default. Without the VO change, a factory default will wipe out the changes. VO change is the factory way to *change* the factory defaults for the car.
