Thanks for all the great features the application has so far BimmerCode . I understand Stephen might add this as a feature in a next upgrade of the app.

I am sharing this info out confirming I was able to code under Expert Mode the screen sharing for Android. I use iPhone's but have always had an Android around to use Torque which displays lots of info needed.

This will help on track days.



Searching around I found the following list of parameters which I coded in Expert Mode using your APP. Thanks to Almaretto and Gabrola



I coded all these parameters to be aktiv and now my iDrive menu is showing the Screen Mirroring option.

Had trouble initially connecting the phone but it was because its an older Android, tried with Galaxy S6 and S5 and it works.

Oh wow... I'll give this a try, is this under HU? This is the time I regret selling my nexus 7. *sigh*

Excellent! I need to set this up as I use an Android Tablet with Torque.

I've been poking around, but I don't see anything applicable based on what is in this thread:

Has this been done as yet? BimmerCode

Been going back and forward with Stephan thru PMs talking about the screen sharing and he confirmed the Comfort Seat access will be coming out in the next update.

App was really easy to use, I coded video while moving, automatic radio off when door opens, ASD off (what a difference, I like it), mirrors folding and opening automatically.

I too lost my mirror tilt on reverse. I checked and I have the button pushed all the way to the right (passenger) but it still does not tilt. Any suggestions?

Edit. Flipped the switch to drivers side then back to passenger and it's working now. Great app

This I'm highly impressed with. Other than coding the car, what do
I need to buy to get this working?

- Downloaded the App
- Installed V Gate
- Car IGNITION ON
- Push power on V GATE (light is red)
- Connect device via WIFI ( V Link)
- Start App via iPhone and connect (V Gate flashes)
- Tried to code (side markers off) but it does not work...

Am I missing something here? Do I need to purchase full version? How do I make sure the coding is stored?

Any help appreciated. Thanks!

Hi Benzima,

Where did you buy your V-gate?

Thanks in advance.

Which option is it for turning radio off when door opens? I'm sure it may have been mentioned before however I seem to be failing at finding it.

Thanks for the quick response.

Thanks El Bal, did the same thing with my work S5. Pretty cool seeing the screen. I just downloaded Torque Lite. I think I need to pay for the pro version to get oil temp?

Yes, get Torque Pro, I believe it was 5-6 bucks back years ago, it provides more info and features.

Kindof off topic but this is the best place to pose this question... I am shooting a film and need to figure out the simplest way to reset the module that shows the M boot animation. I have to shoot multiple takes of a person getting into the drivers seat, starting the car and witnessing the M logo animation.

After testing it, if I am in the headunit module and toggle any setting on/off. Can I then hit "code" to reset the module and thus restart the animation. But what I'm hoping is that there is a way to reset the car so that I can make the M animation play when the vehicle starts(like it randomly does from time to time in the real world)?

Thanks in advance for any insight!

Don't know the answer, unfortunately, but thanks for affirming this randomness. I thought for sure my unit was buggy. Weird deal.

[BAN_M2C]

Someone explained that its because the head unit has not fully turned off and when you turn on the car again its already loaded up.

Read it in this same thread, so if you are using the car, turn off and then turn back on it might not load because the head unit had not turned off completely before your next startup.

Same experience for me. In the 9 months or so since I've had the car, I can count on one hand how many times I've seen the startup animation. And this is not just when restarting the car shortly after turning off, but overnight, after not driving it several days, etc.

[izzyM2]

Maybe his best bet is to re-code the cars animation each time he needs to see the M. It seem only way to control it.
