Important Notes
- The G70 uses BDC2 (second generation Body Domain Controller) instead of BDC — module paths differ from G20/G30/G05
- Many luxury comfort features (automatic doors, crystal headlights) are option-dependent and require the physical hardware to be present
- The new Theatre Screen rear display has its own module (RSE2) with limited third-party tool support currently
- E-Sys PSdZData version 4.45.20+ is generally required for G70 coding
Also Applies To
The G70 platform and its modules are shared with:
- G60 — 5 Series (2024+)
- i5 — electric 5 Series
- i7 — electric 7 Series (same chassis, different drivetrain modules)
Most BDC2 and HU_MGU2 coding from the G70 applies to these models as well.
