[QUOTE=andrewc89;22700501]Pick any module.
Select it. Click the backups button in the bottom right hand corner. Pick the one you want to load and it will restore those settings. thanks, looks like it's different on android, no backup options |

Just confirmed from Stephan from Bimmercode, his comment is "BMW restricted this to max 3, so this is no longer possible unfortunately."

What I'm talking about is If the door is open and the parking lights are on and you press the start stop button once your electronics on mode will stay on much longer thus not interrupting your connection to the WiFi ob2 reader. If you code with the engine running you don't have to do this.

I know this is an older thread (just came across it in a search), but WOW, your dealer techs would really have an issue with my car... (not an M2, which I would love to own but was only a dream back in early 2015). I have lots of things coded. But I never coded getting the mirrors to fold on lock - mainly because I have a convertible and that action closes the top. But then there are the other things that are hard to miss... temp on tire pressure, different active sound setting, startup screen display, removal of all warnings, disable start/stop... not to mention the Dinan stuff.

Hey all, so there's nearly 70 pages of discussion here and I admit I have not looked through every page. My question may have been answered already. If so, hoping someone can throw me a bone and answer anyway:
With the car locked and the alarm set, if you press the door lock button on the FOB, you can hear the door lock mechanism engage but that's the only signal anything is happening. I'm one of those people who chronically sets the alarm, walks away, and a block later thinks "did I set my alarm?" Is there a way to code in the marker lights to flash or the horn to beep when you press the lock button on an already locked and alarmed car? |

You're correct, you can set the lights to flash and an audible chirp on lock/unlock. However, it's just the first lock. Example: You pull into a parking spot. get out. Lock the car either with the FOB or the comfort access "button" on the door handle. The lights flash and the car chirps. You walk away on autopilot and cat recall if you locked the car. If you push the lock button on the FOB at this point you get nothing. No lights, no chirp.

...so you may not want to do that...I always just lock it and check the driver's door because I also sometimes am on auto-pilot and worry I didn't actually lock the car. |

It doesn't require any further button presses ... I don't have the alarm installed, but I can use this option to determine whether I've locked the car from a distance. |

tried this last night. Took a bit of time to connect and initially it wouldn't connect to the wifi one. Then I disconnected wifi and tried again and it worked. Took about 15 mins to code VIM from start to finish.
I asked a local coder in the area for the same thing. He said $50 for VIM coding. And if the dealer reverts coding, $20 again. The icar plus the software costed me about $70. Now I can easily code other cars too! |

FYI, for those with an MY18. I had the Instrument Panel recall software update done this past week and (as I expected would happen), all of my coding was wiped out. The only item that I'm not positive was put back to stock is ASD.
I just got done putting all my coding back in. The setting that Bimmercode read for ASD was "default", so I went ahead and coded it to Inactive. The dealer didn't say anything about the car having been coded, so they either didn't notice or didn't care.

I know if you get coded by Alex@Alpine he will re-code you if the dealer wipes it out with a software update. I am not doing the software update unless i have an issue since it does not seem to be a wide spread problem......

Ummmmm, yeah, soooo about that app. I remember BMW pestering me about it and I never downloaded it. Totally forgot it even exists.
Downloading it now. That certainly does solve my problem doesn't it. I'm embarrassed to admit just how many times I've been sitting in my office at work and thought "did I lock my car" and I actually get up and walk to the parking garage (2 blocks away) to check.
