Compatibility
Will it work for me?
What E-Sys MAX works with, what we test every release, and what is not tested yet. Updated with every release.
E-Sys versions
Every release is checked inside these E-Sys versions before it is published: E-Sys MAX loads, its menu and tools appear, every page of E-Sys opens, and the coding safety check covers E-Sys's Code buttons.
| E-Sys | Status |
|---|---|
| 25.10 | Tested every release |
| 24.06 | Tested every release |
| 22.10 | Tested every release |
| 22.06 | Tested every release |
| 3.40 | Tested every release |
| Other versions from 3.x to 25.x | Expected to work, not on our test list |
Cars
| Series | Coding with E-Sys MAX | English setting names |
|---|---|---|
| BMW F series | Yes | Most settings named |
| BMW G series | Yes | Fewer names, growing with every update |
| BMW I series, MINI and Rolls-Royce on the same platforms | Yes, wherever E-Sys codes them | Depends on the module |
| BMW E series (older) | No: E-Sys does not code them | - |
Why G-series has fewer names: BMW never published names for G-series settings. See E-Sys cheat sheets. Know a setting? Name it and send it with Help improve names: names we add earn you free licence time.
Connection to the car
| Connection | Status |
|---|---|
| ENET cable (Ethernet to OBD) | Supported: the usual way |
| BMW ICOM over Ethernet (Connection via ICOM/Ethernet) | Supported since 2.0.10; tested with a simulated ICOM, not yet with a real one |
| Newer DoIP cars | Found by the car connection check; the fault scan and battery reading use the classic gateway protocol and may not reach DoIP-only cars |
| Bluetooth or Wi-Fi OBD dongles, K+DCAN cables | Not supported: E-Sys itself cannot use them |
PC
| PC | Status |
|---|---|
| Windows 11 or 10, 64-bit, Intel or AMD processor | Supported |
| Windows on ARM (Snapdragon laptops) | Not recommended: E-Sys runs through emulation, and some USB network adapters have no ARM driver |
| Mac, or Windows in a virtual machine | Not on our test list |
| Internet | Once a week, for the licence check. Coding itself needs no internet. |
