SSD or HDD, which better for Xentry DAS with SD connect C4 ?

Mar30

Here is the differences between SSD and HDD for SDconnect c4 with Dell D630.

Price:

SD C4 software with SSD for 118 euro, HDD for 99.99 euro

Speed:

SSD VS Common HDD in terms of running speed (test on our DELL D630 PC)
	4G SSD	4G HDD	1G SSD	1G HDD
boot time	about 1min 30 Secs	about 4 min	about 3 Min 15 Secs	about 5 Min
shutdown time	about 20 Secs	about 50 Secs	about 22 Secs	about 2 min
time to use Xentry test one vehicle module	about 2 min 25 Secs	about 3Min 27 Secs	about 4 Min 28 Secs	abou 5 Min

This is where SSDs shine. An SSD-equipped PC will boot in seconds, certainly under a minute. A hard drive requires time to speed up to

operating specs, and will continue to be slower than an SSD during normal use.

A PC or Mac with an SSD boots faster, launches apps faster, and has faster overall performance.

Witness the higher PCMark benchmark scores on laptops and desktops with SSDs,

plus the much higher scores and transfer times for external SSDs versus HDDs.

Whether it’s for fun, school, or business, the extra speed may be the difference

between finishing on time or failing.

Fragmentation:

Because of their rotary recording surfaces, HDD surfaces work best with larger files

that are laid down in contiguous blocks. That way, the drive head can start

and end its read in one continuous motion. When hard drives start to fill up,

large files can become scattered around the disk platter,

which is otherwise known as fragmentation.

While read/write algorithms have improved to the point that the effect is minimized,

the fact of the matter is that HDDs can become fragmented,

while SSDs don’t care where the data is stored on its chips,

since there’s no physical read head. Thus, SSDs are inherently faster.

Availability:

Hard drives are simply more plentiful. Look at the product lists from Western Digital, Toshiba, Seagate, Samsung, and Hitachi, and you’ll see many more HDD models than SSDs. For PCs and Macs, internal HDDs won’t be going away completely, at least for the next couple of years. You’ll also see many more HDD choices than SSDs from different manufacturers for the same capacities. SSD model lines are growing in number, but HDDs are still in the majority for storage devices in PCs.

Noise:

Even the quietest HDD will emit a bit of noise when it is in use from the drive spinning

or the read arm moving back and forth, particularly if it’s in a system

that’s been banged about or in an all metal system where it’s been shoddily installed.

Faster hard drives will make more noise than slower ones.

SSDs make virtually no noise at all, since they’re non-mechanical.

How to use BMW ENET cable to do BMW F-series coding

Mar24

Received my BMW ENET cable and did some DIY job for F30 already.
This BMW ENET (Ethernet to OBD) Interface Cable is designed to work on BMW F-series alone. Let’s go straight to the point.

You need:
A BMW ENET cable
E-Sys program, datafiles, token and PIN
A PC/laptop running Windows XP system (mine second-hand Panasonic Win xp 64 bit OS)
Just spending a little money and you will get a powerful ENET cable for €11.00 without postage. I recommend get one from OBD Tools which offers good technical support. Usually, after he receives payment, they can have the cable shipped as soon as possible and arrive with you between 3 to 4 days.
I have found some clue on how to solder the cable list as below. Better understanding with the pictures guidance.

The package comes with E-Sys program, datafiles and such which enable me to use directly without downloading. I was offered E-Sys v3.18.4 in combination with the v46.3 datafiles. I have to mention that the datafiles contains more than 10GB memory, so you have to take hours and hours to download it all. And you have no choice but to wait patiently.

Then please refer the pdf guide here E-Sys – MacOSX installation and configuration.pdf to start install the E-Sys. As soon as you start the vehicle, the E-Sys program will automatically saves the CAF files into “C:ESysDataCAF”. Then copy all these files on to the certain folder.
After that, please do as the following steps:
1) Connect the laptop to vehicle and click the connect symbol
2) Select “F20”(not F020 direct) and click connect. Close the popping out message when you see your car VIN, if not, repeat the progress again.
3) Accept following windows message and close the program
4) Switch to coding mode, go to expert mode and click on coding icon on the left vertical pane.
5) Come to the coding program. Click Read button under the VO pane and then FA appears
6) Now Click on Read VCM or Read button under VCM pane. You will find it it will be on your right hand-Center
7) All the ECU’s will display on the main program. Then expand the ECU’s and all most all ECU’s will have a file starting with CAF (With green indicator) right click on the CAF file and select Read coding data, ignore whose who did not contain CAF. But remember do not click all CAF files. Four or five is the maximum.
8) After complete above procedures, go to c:/esydata/CAF. All the .ncd files have been generated on the CAF folder.
9) Copy .ncd files and on your pc or laptop. Run the software program and then start to do F30 coding according to the window instructions.
I have successfully realized these things by using the ENET cable:
–Remove PDC + cam disclaimer
– Mirrors open automatically when closed with comfort access
–Change DVD region code
– Remove disclaimer
– Video in Motion
– Turned the Seatbelt Gong off
– Side View Cameras on at all speeds
– Change DVD region code
– Tire pressure + temperature in TPMS
– Mirrors close by pressing doorknob (comfort access only)
– Disable A.S.S. by default (can still be enabled but starts with setting ‘off’)
– Remember last setting of A.S.S. (works only when not disabled by default)
– Change ringtones
…
I am still working on it and will figure out more functions later. I have to clearly that these are all the tested result on F30. I am not sure how other F-series works.

FLIGHT RECORDER
With the flight recorder function, you can record parameters in real time while you are driving a vehicle. During recording, you can, with a press of a button, highlight the specific error so that you can investigate the detected error at a later time. CDP+ is equipped with built-in memory thus removing the need to bring a computer. Memory cart not include in package .

VOLTAGE CHECK
When CDP+ is connected to the vehicle, the unit will check the battery voltage of the vehicle and automatically adjusts itself to the vehicle’s voltage level of 12 or 24 volts. If the voltage gets too high or too low, CDP+ will warn you with both sound and light and you will also be alerted through the battery icon in our diagnostic software.

CHASSIS NUMBER VIN
In our CARS software, we have a smart function that allows you to read out the chassis number from the vehicle that you would like to diagnose. This ensures that the right model and year is selected automatically. In addition, engine code for vehicles, which are commonly available on the markets, is also selected automatically.

ISS
Intelligent System Scan (ISS) scans through all the systems in the vehicle and displays the fault codes that are stored in each system. This saves time and you get a quick overview of the actual status of the entire vehicle. When the ISS is complete, you can then select a specific control system to analyse the results further on.

ISI
Intelligent System Identification (ISI) identifies and selects automatically the type of controller that is mounted in the vehicle. This ensures that the diagnostic session is performed correctly with the correct parameters as required.

REPORT FUNCTION
Under this function tab, you will be able to see the adaptations and adjustments that are possible for a specific vehicle without having the vehicle near you. Together with the help texts as a guide, you can plan and be effective in your work; even under complex situations.
