Bimmercode HeadUnit

scadagawd · 03-05-2022, 12:16 AM

Just got an s/w update to my 2018 M2 to fix an issue with an ABS recall issue. All my coding is gone. I got most of it back with Bimmercode however seems like the HeadUnit section is greyed out. Is this a Bimmercode issue or an updated s/w issue? I did update the data for the Bimmercode app. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

After I had full screen Apple Carplay coded, I lost the ability to code the head unit with Bimmercode. kubax86 said it was a problem with Bimmercode...not much help but maybe useful.

Yeah if the NBT has been modified from factory settings (like with a CarPlay retrofit), you won't be able to use BimmerCode to modify it.

You can restore the very first backup that BimmerCode created which will reset everything back to their stock settings. Then see if you can code again afterwards.

Check the 'Backups' section for more info.

I'm the same - had CarPlay retro fitted and Bimmercode stopped working for my Headunit. I now use esys for all my headunit coding and works fine.

You can code full screen straight through bimmercode now with the update. Assuming u had CarPlay to begin with

Headunit > expert mode > 3000 MI
CAR PLAY FULLSCREEN set to Aktiv

Just saw u can let access it but I'll leave the instructions in there in case it works fornl others

You need to update the Bimmercode app. If it's already up to date, send a support request and let them know. They'll send you a beta invite with the fix, and eventually release it to the App Store as well. I went through the same thing after doing the ABS light recall programming.
