BMW E-sys ENET Cable Reflash ZGM(solved)

I have successfully reflashed my 2001 F11 BMW ZGM system by using E-Sys from chinaobd2 and ENET cable from China. The total cost is very cheap. Here I would like to share is a quick guide on remaping the system.

I bought the BMW ENET Cable from a Chinese seller, no problem hooking it up to my car and laptop. The E-Sys software I first download is with 3.23.4 version, but got an error when using this version – my first attempt is to flash ZGM failed initially with the following error:

Code:

MCDDiagService id=240900, job=com.bmw.psdz.jobs.common.MCD3_ActivateProgMode, service=RC_GAC – Routine Control Get ActualConfig, description=error: timeout, link=Physical request to ECU with address 0×10>

I found a few other threads mentioning possible solutions which are

Solution1

Use direct connection via gateway URL instead of via VIN to tcp://ip address of your car:6801 eg tcp://169.254.30.100:6801

Solution2

In Tal Processing | Parameters uncheck “Switch gateway(s) to programming mode”

In my case both options did not work with E-Sys 3.23.4. I then tried E-Sys 3.22.5 and was able to flash ZGM at the first attempt.
