That's all I've found so far

TLA works better. All I've really noticed

[willougs]

Didn't think TLA was supported in UK? My car is on 11/2020 and says its not supported.

Be happy if its being enabled soon.

[xenon]

TLA?

[willougs]

Traffic Light Assistant. I assume.

[danorman777]

And sadly only cars built after July 20 can try TLA if allowed here.

I've coded it. Works really well in the U.K.

Nice. Do you need to reapply the recoding each time you get a new software version pushed down?

I do, but have methods that are pretty efficient so it only takes 10-15 minutes for all 'existing' coding to be restored.

Then another few days to figure out what's new

I used to use E-Sys on the F31 - is that still the preferred tool?

For coding or programming?

I use esys for coding and ISTA for programming.

Dealers use ISTA, much lower risk than esys as it checks for known issues and blocks by model, does pre checks, works out what needs to be programmed and/or VO coded, then does a load of post upgrade checks and actions including import of FSC where activation campaigns are in effect. Only thing it can't do is an online fasta update, as no connection to dealer intranet, so will need hooking up to a dealer system if there is a need for a backend update at that level.

Just coding. Never done any programming.

I’ve done coding via esysx for enabling things like Lane Change Assist. Is TLA significantly more complex?

Any recommendations for getting this done by a professional

[xenon]

Be interesting to see a list of what can be done. There’s one for the F series cars but I don’t think I’ve seen one for the G2x

[cliveywolves]

So you reckon stick her on charge to maximum and update should fire thru OTA?

It's more complex, but the principals are mostly the same.

Lane Change Assist was the first coding I published for the ID7 platform cars, back in 2019. TLA coding is in the same ECU's as LCA, but you will need latest esysx to code it.

I posted the TLA coding at the link below, including some newer DAP system codes:

I've not posted any instructions. It's very much DIY from my perspective.

I don't know any pro coders, but Baron G15 has had it coded successfully I believe.

I assume you have to have the Driving Assistance Pack for this stuff to work?

Yep

[danorman777]

And do you know if TLA available on all G20/G21 with Driving Assistant Pro through coding? I am sure BMW will only enable it on cars after July 2020 for some reason?

It can and has been successfully enabled in coding on G20 in the UK. You need 11/2020 i-step or later.

It's not looking likely that BMW will retrofit the MY21 DAP features to earlier MY, so it's either coding or buy a newer model.

[willougs]

Wonder if there is any danger in BMW actually enabling it officially?

Next to zero.

They'll claim hardware dependency as the stock reason, which basically means they don't want the hassle and cost of testing against multiple old hardware combinations, to enable features that will otherwise encourage owners to buy a new model.

I have a MY19 with all the current DAP features available on MY21, with no apparent hardware issues. I'd need to test drive a loaded MY21 to compare 100% but everything seems to work as expected with 1000's of miles on the clock.

I'm sure that the iX will have newer hardware, and it's systems won't be possible to be coded due to that h/w dependency.
