M2 Coding. What have you done??
I thought it would be good to get everyone's feedback in one place on coding the M2.
Some topics: * What coding have you done? * what coding worked well and what wasn't so. good? * What accessories did you buy and what person or what company did you use? My M2 arrives in August (hopefully) so would be great to see what can be coded. I know I want to code the drive in motion but not sure what other options there are for the M2 I guess there will be other threads but didn't see one dedicated to only the M2. |

My most liked options:
iDrive disclaimer removed Mirrors fold in/out with door locking Halos 100% with headlights on Taillights act as DRLs Brake force lighting DVD in motion (OK relax, it's neat but I don't watch whkle driving) Waiting for someone to code the gauge lights to be on all the time -c

I'll probably look to code the same options. I hear the 100% halo is a great choice. What cable did you get for the M2? Did you do the coding yourself? I can't imagine it's too difficult but I've never tried. Cheers |

Windows up/down via fob
Mirrors fold when locked Seatbelt chimes disabled Angel eye full brightness on at night Radio off with one push/door opened Door handle lights come on in reverse Disable climate control auto on Enabled rear fog lights I had my coding reset and done over because I had the rear camera coded on at high speeds and enabled zoom. The rear parking censors lost their mind and I couldn't deal with it. No problems since I uncoded that.

Keeping the lock button pressed(BMW logo) when locking the car makes the mirrors fold back. At least with my car. Not coded. My 1M had that the same way..

I tried your method with my car, but it doesn't work. Probably a NA market thing. however the windows roll down when holdoing unlock button, but they don't roll up with key fob.

Great news. Can you code cars in Canada? Should have mine in a few weeks, if you can let me know and we can work something out.
