Yup, you can only do FDL coding with Bimmercode -- at least, for now.

To do VO (aka FA) coding, you need E-Sys and an PSZdData file that is the same or newer than the I-Step (software version) in your car.

To use, E-Sys, however, because BMW has "trimmed" the data files, you need another program. I used to use ProLauncher, but the developer, Tokenmaster, is apparently no longer available to get needed unlock codes. While I have heard of some hacked versions, I haven't tried any -- and they may also not be supported. You see to overcome "trimming", these additional programs basically map functions back into E-Sys -- so as BMW continues to update software, there are functions that become "orphaned" & can't be coded any longer.

So, the only viable additional program is is E-SysX, which is available from their website (at a cost) & is well supported

Sorry for the lengthy explanation-- Hope it Helps!
