Here is how to code VLD and GFHB with bimmercode:

http://f87.bimmerpost.com/forums/sho...8&postcount=50

Just coded GFHB with Bimmercode and tested it out. Question: Does GFHB only works at highway speed? The high beam stays on at speed>45 mph even there is a car in front. Didn't really see the tunnel effect cause the ambient was sort of bright with street lights. At slow speed the high beam just turned off. TIA.

Yes.

That's normal. It should tunnel then.

Also normal.

It's debatable how well tunneling works with US spec headlights. Some people claim we're missing the proper hardware and it can be blinding people. Others say it works just fine. It's really a use at your own discretion kind of thing. I haven't had any issues with it personally. If you search the forum you can find many discussions about it.

When there was a car in front of me, my high beams were on but I did not see that car's cabin illuminated as if I just turned the high beams on. I did not see light tunneling clearly either. Something happened but I am not sure it did it correctly or not. I will do more tests and if it's blinding the other drivers I will just revert it back to just VLD only.

Any way to use the backup camera while moving forward at speed?

I believe all you have to do is go into Rear Electronic Module and change the PDC and Rearview Camera distance thresholds to 'Not Active'. I'm not sure what the default speed thresholds are as those are set to "Unknown" by default so those may or may not have to be changed in Expert Mode. You won't know until you try.

Ive tried to opt out in the past only to be told that doing so would void the rest of my warranty, as these updates are not optional.

That is a lie. If you never went in for service, you would still have your warranty.

Will give it a try and see, thanks for your help.

I just had the dealer cluster recall update and now the start stop is back

on bimmercode, the Front Electronic Module is now greyed out so i cant code it back in.. anyone else have this issue?

Yes, I do.

I have a 2017 M2. It had its telecommunications box replaced last Thursday, which, of course, required a software update as well. All the coding I had performed with BimmerCode was lost, presumably because of the software update.

I was able to recode much the same as before, except that I too could not access the Front Electronic Module—it was greyed out like yours. I have BimmerCode version 2.8.

What is the explanation for this?

Your coding was wiped because the dealer performed an istep update. This is normal. As for bimmercode, they have to update the app so it's compatible with the newest version of istep you guys got. Nothing to be concerned about, they update regularly. This has happened to plenty of people including myself, you'll be up and running soon.

[Professor MSP]

Thank you for the explanation andrewc89—its much appreciated. I understood that the software update, i.e., istep update, wiped out my coding, but did not realize that an update to BimmerCode is needed to regain full access to all the modules. Cheers.

About to code some new stuff so logged into the forums.
I had to bring the car in for regular service and jut had them reinstall the software. I had called the genius line to get the code but that was unsuccessful.
If you found a quick $65 fix and it kept you from going to the dealership you’re probably better off.
In the past when I need a favor from the dealer I just ask the to rotate the tires for a fee and ‘oh can you check that I drive error for me’.

Off to code set belt warning off.

Anyone know if I can get that damn back up warning to stop beeping after I switch out of reverse?

Get an istep update from your dealer and it will solve that issue by automatically shutting off PDC when you take the car out of reverse. It will however wipe any coding you have done in the process and you'll have to redo it.

You can also buy one of these: https://www.ecstuning.com/b-genuine-...t/61319252912/

I did some coding with bimmerpost, turning off disclaimer, comfort access with keyfob, vld, turn off radio when door open. But after coding these, it seem my follow me home light stop working. Basically when I turn off the car at night, light stay on for 20 seconds, this is set with in IDdrive. You can turn this on and off in I drive, but after coding with bimmercode, it seem that it's not working any more.

What it is is that, before I would turn off engine, get out of the car, and I would have the light on automatic, once I exit car, and lock car, the light would stay on the the amount of time i set it for the welcome light. But after coding with bimmercode to welcome light to hard on, it seem I have to turn off the car. TURN the stock high beam ON for the follow me home to work as oppose to just get out of car and lock car.

I tried reset everything back to normal, and everything is fine EXCEPT welcome light/follow me home light. Can someone help. Mine is 2018 LCI.

Thanks in advance.

Hey there, I was wondering if you fixed this issue. I did some basic coding and have the same issue now. Front/Rear LEDs do not light up after exiting the car.

The new version has just been released and is already compatible with the latest version of I-Step

[nomade30]

The newest version works fine with my car (2018), still has the bug of reading LCI every now and then. But writing still works 100% of the time.

I'm wondering about this as well. Has it been fixed?

I have a new LCI and I have held off on buying BimmerCode because of little issues here and there like this one with LCI cars.

[Mosely]

Coded some simple stuff (ASD, Camera, etc), phone was stolen a few days later and before I could back it up. Am I SOL on ever resetting these things? I'm supposed to have the new istep flashed for the recall at some point, so I imagine this will reset it all anyway?

Have coded the following with no issues:
-Folding mirrors with comfort access (0.5s delay)
-Puddle lights on in reverse gear
-Legal disclaimer delete
-Initial seat belt warning chime delete
-Video in-motion

The app is very professionally done and the asking price is very reasonable

how do you get rid of the intial seat belt chime?

You'll see those in the Advanced Crash Safety Module ECU. There are all kinds of reminders in there you can turn on or off. I hate when I would sit in the car messing with something and the buzzer was annoying the crap out of me. No more.
