Bit-serial data interface (BSD): Notes
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 7 other vehicles, including the 2017 BMW X3, 2016 BMW X3, 2015 BMW X3, 2014 BMW X3, and 2013 BMW X3. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The bit-serial data interface is a single-wire data bus with a data transfer rate of 1.2 kBit/s.
The following components are connected across the bit-serial data interface with the DME/DDE control unit:
- Alternator (varies according to version)
- Intelligent battery sensor (depending on model series)
- Preheating control unit (for diesel engines before introduction of the engines N47/N57)
- Electric coolant pump (depending on variant)
- Oil condition sensor (depending on variant)
Only DDE control unit: Each component connected across the BSD is connected to its own pin on the DDE control unit. However, these pins are interconnected in the control unit.
