I want to change the soft touch on blinker to flash 5X

Up4speed · 12-26-2020, 04:14 PM

I have Bimmercode, and can't seem to find the menu that allows me to change the indicators, so they flash 5X with a soft touch on the stalk. Factory sets it to 3, and it's way too short for my liking.
Can somebody help me find it?

You can't. BMW removed the possibility from the FEM. 3 is the max

Why would they remove it? It makes no sense, what is the problem with letting us decide how many blinks we like?

I know that the option is missing from the FEM, but can I do it using long coding?

I changed mine to one blink. I'm a BMW driver dammit, the lowly populous should consider themselves lucky to get that..

doughboy · 01-02-2021, 06:01 PM

Haha, thats what thought, BMW drivers don't indicate anyway?.

Theres a chance it's been moved to align with updated models.

Try setting HU_NBT 1EF6 5_FACH__TIPPBLINKEN to active.

Edit: no luck. Adds the option for 5 blinks in idrive, but not selectible

I think the 3x is the maximum, but I am not sure. I know everything about the blinkers of my car after my dad pranked me. It all started when I got my driver's license. He bought me a car, and he said that I needed to get the blinker fluid from sadanduseless.com before starting to drive. I believed him, so I ordered it on Amazon. The next day I got the fluid and was going to insert it into my car, but my father stopped me and said that it was a prank and there was no such thing as blinker fluid, which is a well-known prank for novice drivers in the United States.

It was removed a while back and I can't find it. Subscribed and hoping it is relocated

Same. 5 blinks is perfect. Seems so silly that they'd remove that when it really should be the OEM default.

That said, BMW also thinks that the steering should be set to "Sport" as the default. So who knows what goes on over there.
