Here s a step-by-step guide on how to get 1B file from BMW Exx CIC unit without BMW ICOM<\/a> interface.Following the excellent work by Bluebrain and others \u201cLet\u2019s hack the CIC\u201d, I used the<\/p>\n

following method to get the 1B file from my E87 CIC<\/p>\n

Procedures:<\/strong><\/p>\n

1.Obtain a D-Link USB Ethernet adapter with the GREY housing as described in the post<\/p>\n

2.Plug the USB cable from this adapter to the GLOVEBOX USB socket<\/p>\n

3.Set your laptop for STATIC IP 160.48.199.98\/255.255.255.128<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

4.Open web browser and type ftp:\/\/160.48.199.99 in the address bar.<\/p>\n

5.Navigate to HBpersistence\/normal and click on \u201cgeneralPersistencyData_DiagnosticSWTControlle r to download it.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

6.Open the file you downloaded in a HEX editor \u2013 I used HxD. You should be able to see your VIN (or that of the donor CIC for a retrofit) in this file in several places.<\/p>\n

7.You now need to extract the 1B file from this larger file. Find the point in the file that starts \u201c01 01 00 1B \u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

8.Delete all data before this point. Your file should now look like this:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

9Now you need to delete the extra bytes on the end. The correct length for a 1B file is 0x13F (319 decimal) bytes. Delete the trailing byte 0x13F until the file looks like this:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

10.Save this new file as my_1b_file.hex. Congratulations you now have a 1B file and using tools available online you will be able to generate your own FSC codes for map updates \u2013 see other posts for the instructions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
