The Free Solution for Virginizing and Re-coding Used 8HP EGS Units.
We are proud to release the EGS F/G 8HP Resetter v1.0, a new, free utility designed to help the BMW community with one of the most common tasks: adapting a used 8HP transmission. This tool simplifies the process of "virginizing" the EGS module, allowing it to be coded to a new vehicle.
What Problem Does This Tool Solve?
When you install a used 8HP automatic transmission, its electronic control unit (EGS) is "locked" with the VIN and security data of the donor car. You cannot simply install it and code it to a new car. The EGS must first be reset to a factory state or "virginized."
This tool automates the process by temporarily patching your E-Sys software with special files, allowing you to perform the reset and then safely restoring your original files.
Important Note on This Version
The OBD and remote functions that were in development have been removed from this public version. This was a conscious decision to ensure the tool remains free for the community and to prevent its misuse for paid, commercial "business" services. This project is for enthusiasts and technicians to help each other.
How The 5-Step Process Works
- Check for E-Sys: The tool first verifies you have a valid E-Sys installation and PSdZData folder.
- Patch E-Sys Folder: With one click, the tool safely backs up your original system files and replaces them with the special patched SWFL files.
- Flash Process: You then use your own E-Sys software to flash the EGS with the currently active patched SWFL. This flash performs the reset/virginize procedure on the EGS unit.
- Restore E-Sys Folder: After the flash is complete, use the tool to automatically restore your original system files.
- Finish: Your E-Sys is back to normal. You can now re-flash the EGS with the correct, original software for the car and then proceed with standard coding.
Included Patched Files
This version includes patched SWFL files for three common 8HP versions (2 for F-Series, 1 for G-Series):
- swfl_00001dc7.xml
- swfl_00002ab2.bin
- swfl_00000a81.xml
System Requirements & Testing
- Operating System: Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 10, Windows 11 (32-bit & 64-bit).
- Required Software: A working installation of BMW E-Sys and a corresponding PSdZData folder.
- Frameworks: Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5 or higher may be required.
- Testing: The patch and restore functions have been tested on multiple system configurations to ensure they work reliably with the E-Sys folder structure.
A Note From The Developer
"These files are free! If you sell these files, you are the most dishonorable person! You can use it and make money, but you can't sell it! The game is just getting started..."
Coming Soon: E-Series 6HP ISN Software!
Development is already underway for a new tool to work with E-Series 6HP transmissions!
