i drive in sport+ 99% of the time so it's annoying to have to change it from comfort back to sport+ every single time i start the car. i would personally love it if it was able to memorize what driving mode you were in last and just keep it there.

I get you. Unfortunately I don't think it can be done as of now.

Question so i understand...If you get the app, you can code a little for free but if you pay you get the expert mode to load deeper? Or is that just 2 levels of coding within the pay app hence the take of "expert" mode

The latter. And last I heard, if you have Android, expert mode isnt enabled yet, or at least, it wasnt as of about a month ago.

Nope I have IOS...so I have the adapter so I need to purchase the App then start learning i take it. Why is there a regular and expert? Is the expert mode where you screw shit up and regular you can't hurt anything?

The basic mode I think is set up by Stephan to allow all the possible dependencies to code with the function you want to achieve i.e. macro coding. Even then I had to go into the expert mode to complete the coding of folding / unfolding mirrors with comfort setting because the KOMFORTSHLIESSUNG_PA setting did not activate. In the expert mode you can see all the available options on your car to code. The problem with expert mode is that you need to know if the options you want to code is dependent on another option. You also need to make sense of the abbreviations and know some German language.

FSC repair kit is generally a free process, however it's logged by BMW to prevent abuse thats why most guys charge a fee to do this through the back channels. I don't know how your system got corrupted but the issue was probably you used the factory reset which it must have meant some CAF files got corrupt.

David1 boostm3 If you put your phone into airplane mode, you need to turn wifi back on manually. It is to prevent any interruption while you are sending the codes by pressing "code".
Let's just say someone call/text while sending code, I think it might stop in the middle of the process and corrupt the file. Are you willing to take a chance? I know I'm not. It might not be necessary to do that. I'm just taking precaution. |

I run Bimmercode from my non-cellular iPad. That's kind of always in the phone equivalent of airplane mode. My airplane mode turns off WiFi.....so THAT won't work for me.

on my iPad, airplane mode turns off both bluetooth an WiFi. If i had cellular, i bet it would turn that off too. I'm not sure about the behavior on every phone, but i'm sure turning on airplane mode would also turn off wifi on a lot of them. Then you couldn't connect to your vGate dongle. Like you said, manually turning off everything but wifi one at a time may be the way to go.

Continued issues with BimmerCode, trying to restore back to factory status
So after the issues I had with my navigation failing after my first try coding with BimmerCode, I've decided based on the recommendation of some other forum members to give E-SYS a try instead.
I got everything loaded on a spare laptop this evening, and was quite easily able to make a backup of my car's current coding (FA, SVT and NCDs) with E-SYS. Next I decided I'd use BimmerCode to restore things back to the way they were from the factory, using the backups that BimmerCode made during the first run. This appeared to work OK for the Headunit, but the FEM ECU restore kept failing. I tried several times, but actually got to the point where BimmerCode couldn't read or restore that ECU, and I had to use E-SYS to recover it based on the NCD and SVT I backed up earlier this evening. Thank goodness I had E-SYS working and a backup! I don't know where I'd be if I hadn't got that working... When I tried to read the 'Restored' Headunit coding data in E-SYS, and compare it with the first backup I made today, I found that there were no differences... BimmerCode hadn't actually restored the Headunit data at all; all of my coding settings were still there! My car is working now, but I'm keen to get it back to factory status so that I have a clean slate to work from with E-SYS. Is there any way in E-SYS to put the car back to factory state, with the correct factory coding, or is this only possible if you made a backup of your NCD files right at the start? I'm hoping Almaretto might be able to help with the answer to this question... Another option is if someone has a backup of factory NCD files from a 2018 LCI 6MT / Executive Package / Apple CarPlay that I could compare to. I'm hoping ZPrime might be able to help with this...
