Looking for an E-Sys Ultra alternative?
E-Sys MAX is an E-Sys launcher and add-on for BMW coding. Here is what it does, what it costs, and how to pick the launcher that fits you.
What E-Sys MAX is
E-Sys MAX starts the BMW E-Sys you already have and works inside it. It is made for people who code F-, G- and I-series BMWs and MINIs themselves and want to see what they are changing.
- Launcher for every E-Sys from 3.x to 25.x: finds your versions, sets memory and PSdZData, checks the cable and the car before E-Sys opens. How the launcher works.
- 85,000+ coding settings named in English in the FDL-Editor, also with the newest PSdZData that shows only dots. Coverage by model.
- What can I code? Ready-made changes that match your car's modules, applied in the FDL-Editor with one click and put back the same way.
- Vehicle order (FA) helper with 5,600+ option codes named and the FA checked against BMW's data.
- Fault scan with 1,100+ codes explained, backups before every change and a coding history.
- Safety first: nothing is written to the car without your click, and "No" is always the default answer.
See all 117 features or the tested E-Sys versions, cars and cables.

How to choose an E-Sys launcher
Whichever tool you pick, check these before you pay:
- Your E-Sys version. Does it start the version you already use, and the newest one your car needs?
- Setting names. Does it show names for your car's modules with current PSdZData, or only dots?
- Safety. Does it make a backup before coding and ask before anything is written to the car?
- Trial. Can you try it on your own car before buying?
- Updates and support. How do updates arrive, and how do you reach a person when something goes wrong?
- Privacy. Does it need an account, and what leaves your PC?

Questions
Is E-Sys MAX the same as E-Sys Ultra?
No. E-Sys MAX is a separate product made by KDR Coding in Los Angeles. It is not affiliated with E-Sys Ultra or its developer.
Do I need E-Sys to use E-Sys MAX?
Yes. E-Sys and PSdZData are BMW software and are not included. E-Sys MAX finds the E-Sys already on your PC and starts it.
Which cars does it work with?
BMW F-, G- and I-series and MINI that E-Sys can code, with an ENET cable or ICOM. See coding by series.
Can I try it before I buy?
Yes: the free 3-day trial has every feature and needs no card. Keep the PC on the internet while you use it.
