The page where the error pops up was already closed out so there is no way to access it.
Click to expand...

You have to go back to the forum post where you found the link originally and click it again.

If the forum makes you wait for a timer or a "download slot" again, unfortunately, you will have to wait that time out.

Once you get the Google Drive page open again, do not click the blue Download button. It will just give you the same error message.

Instead, follow these steps exactly to bураss the block:

  1. Sign in to your Google account in that browser.
  2. On the file preview page (where the error was), look at the top right corner for an icon that looks like a triangle with a plus sign (Add shortcut to Drive). Click it.
  3. Open a new tab and go to drive.google.com.
  4. Find the shortcut you just created in your drive.
  5. Right-click the shortcut and choose Make a copy.
  6. A new file will appear named "Copy of...".
  7. Right-click that new copy and select Download.

Google does not scan "your" personal files for TOS violations immediately, so downloading the copy usually works. If you cannot do this, you will need to ask the Original Poster for a new link (Mirror) on a different host like Mega or Mediafire.

Yes, I'll have to wait. Thanks

No problem.

Just a quick reminder for when your wait time is over: simply clicking the download button again will likely result in the exact same "Terms of Service" error. The file is flagged on Google's end, so that error won't go away with time.

You must use the "Make a copy" method (saving it to your own Drive first) to bураss that specific block.

Good luck getting it sorted!

That is a great catch checking the browser history (Ctrl+J); that definitely saves you from waiting for the timer again.

Just to be safe, when you load that URL, do not even try to click the main download button. Go straight for the Add shortcut to Drive icon at the top right, then handle the rest inside your own Google Drive.

Let us know if the copy trick bypasses the error successfully.

There is no Download button nor is there an option to add shortcut to drive. Looking at the page now this is exactly what it says and the layout;

Goolge Drive

We're sorry. You can't access this item because it is in violation of our Terms of Service.
Find out more (link) "about this topic at the Google Drive Help Center."

If the top-right icons are missing, then Google has completely locked that file. The "Make a copy" trick only works if you can still see the file interface to add it to your drive.

Since that link is dead, you have two options:

  1. Check the last few pages of the thread to see if someone posted a Mirror link (Mega.nz, Mediafire, etc.).
  2. Post a reply in the thread saying: "The Google Drive link is dead (TOS violation). Can someone please re-upload or provide a mirror?"

You cannot get the file from that specific URL anymore; you will need to find a new source.

Note: While you are waiting for a fresh link, keep in mind that you do not need the Launcher for everything.

If you just need to do VO Coding (changing Vehicle Order/FA) or Flashing (updating ECU firmware), you can run E-Sys.exe directly without the Launcher or Token. It works perfectly fine for those tasks.

You only need the Launcher for FDL Coding (editing specific parameters inside the CAFD files).

If you urgently need FDL coding, you might want to search the forum for "E-Sys Launcher Premium 2.8.2" with the "Rearm" script. It is an older version and a bit less stable, but it is often easier to find working links for it while waiting for the PRO version to be re-uploaded.

I am trying disable the adaptive mode by removing 524.

Click to expand...

That is good news. Removing option code 524 (Adaptive Headlights) from your Vehicle Order is purely VO Coding.

You do not need the Launcher or a Token for this. You do not need to wait for the download link to be fixed.

You can simply run E-Sys.exe directly (usually located in C:\EC-Apps\ESG\E-Sys\E-Sys.exe) and proceed.

Here is the quick procedure since you don't need the Launcher:
  1. Connect to the car.
  2. Go to Expert Mode > Coding.
  3. Read FA -> Save FA -> Edit FA.
  4. In the FA Editor, expand the tree to SALAPA-Element.
  5. Delete "524," from the list.
  6. Right-click on FA at the top and select Calculate FP (to ensure no errors).
  7. Save the FA and go back to the Coding tab.
  8. Load your modified FA file.
  9. Right-click on the FA and select Activate.
  10. Select the ECUs that control the lights (usually FEMBODY or BDCBODY, and potentially FLE, LHM, or TMS depending on your chassis).
  11. Click Code (Green button). Do NOT click "Code Default".

This will reset those modules to factory settings based on the new VO (without option 524), effectively disabling the adaptive function.

I don't have an EC-Apps folder. Where are you pulling that from?
 
donholcha said:

Click to expand...

Code: 
C:\EC-Apps
is the standard default installation path for E-Sys. Almost every guide assumes it is there because the official installer defaults to it.

If you do not have that folder, one of two things is happening:

  1. You installed E-Sys to a custom location (e.g.,
    Code: 
    C:\Program Files (x86)\...
    ).
  2. You have not installed the base E-Sys software yet.

Remember, E-Sys Launcher PRO (the file you were trying to download from Google Drive earlier) is just a wrapper/token generator. It requires the actual E-Sys software to be installed first.

Try searching your entire C: drive for
Code: 
E-Sys.exe
.

If the search comes up empty, you need to download and install the base E-Sys software (version 3.27.1 or 3.30 are recommended) before worrying about the Launcher. Since you only need to do VO Coding (removing 524), once you install the base E-Sys, you can use it immediately without needing the Launcher at all.

do i still need to have a battery charger connected while coding?
 
donholcha said:

Yes, absolutely.

Even though removing 524 is a relatively quick job (VO Coding), you should always have a stable power supply.

Here is why:
  • Coding requires the ignition to be ON (engine usually off).
  • The car draws significant current (15-25 Amps) just sitting in this state with the ignition on.
  • If the voltage drops below a certain threshold (usually around 12.5V) during the actual writing process, the ECU can fail or become "bricked" (corrupted CAFD).

Since you are coding light modules (FEM/BDC/TMS/LHM), if the process fails due to low voltage, you could lose your lights until you recover the module.

Tip: If you do not have a professional PSU (Power Supply Unit), at least connect a strong battery charger (10A+ is ideal). Turn off the headlights, A/C, radio, and interior lights to save power while you work. Do not rely on a small trickle charger (1-2 Amps) as it won't keep up with the car's power draw.

The "Connect" button stays grayed out until you select a Target from the list at the top of the connection window.

Here is the correct procedure:

  1. Target Selector (Top List): You must click on your chassis code here.
    • If you have an F30, F32, F80, etc., select F020.
    • If you have an F10, F11, select F010.
    • IMPORTANT: Do NOT select the option that ends with _DIRECT. Select the clean one (e.g.,
      Code: 
      F020_18_03_520_v_004_000
      ).
  2. Interface (Bottom Section): Select Connection via VIN.
  3. Since you can already see your VIN, select it.

Once you highlight the correct Target in the top list and select "Connection via VIN" at the bottom, the Connect button will become clickable.

If you see your VIN, your cable and network connection are working correctly. The "Connect" button is grayed out because you have not selected a Target (Chassis) in the top window yet.

The connection window is divided into two parts:

1. Top Box (Target Selector)
This list contains the database files (psdzdata) for different chassis.
  • You must scroll through this list and find your chassis code (e.g., F020 for F30/F32/F80, or F010 for F10/F11).
  • Click on the line that looks like this: F020_19_11_530_v_004_000 (The numbers will vary based on your data version).
  • IMPORTANT: Do NOT select the one ending in _DIRECT.

2. Bottom Box (Interface)
This is where you saw "Connection via VIN".
  • Select the radio button "Connection via VIN".
  • Your VIN should appear there (which you said you already see).

Once you click and highlight the Target in the top box AND select the VIN in the bottom box, the "Connect" button will turn clickable.

If the Top Box is empty:
This means your psdzdata is not installed or linked correctly.
  • Check if you have a folder named psdzdata inside C:\Data\ (or wherever you installed it).
  • If the folder is empty or missing, you need to download the "PSdZData Lite" package and extract it there.
