I think dealerships that behave in such a manner should be named on the forums so that the enthusiast community knows to avoid them.

Hi all, I'm relatively new to coding, I have coded both a 2017 M2 and a 2018 M4, simple things such as folding mirrors, auto memory for start/stop, remove disclaimers and power off idrive system when opening door. What I have noticed on both cars is that the anti-collision no longer works, I can practically ram someone from behind and I get no notification like I use to prior to coding. Is there an option that enables/disables this function. I cannot see anything that may be related. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Forgive the silly question - have you checked the buttons that enable / disable the safety features? I noticed coding mine reset lane detect to off, and I had to put it back on.

Anyone start noticing funky issues after simple coding? I removed the seat belt chime / warning and now my alarm has randomly gone off and the audio system shut down and rebooted while driving. Very bizarre as there were no electrical issues with the car earlier.

So I've recently been seeing posts about full screen car play and rather than pay someone to do it I was curious if anyone has details on which parameters need changing to code this up.

Regards!

You can't do it with just coding. IIRC It requires coding in conjunction with files that need to be uploaded (akin to a custom "update") in order for full screen carplay to work

Hi all,
After reset (BMW Garage)
I wanted to put again ASD off and other modifications on my 2017 M2
But, I can’t connect BimmerCode with VGate 2

Is BimmerCode update modifying VGate communication ?


Do I change plug-in ?

Thanks in advance

I just did mine with Bimmercode Apps. Works great! I bought the App and an ODB2 bluetooth, was very easy to code in normal mode and also tried the Expert mode to modify some options that were not available in normal mode.

This is random however I've recently had my ISTEP updated from evo_jxxx to evo_qxxx. This update wiped out all my bimmercode settings. I've been able to re-apply all except for one feature - 4 blinks for turn signal indicator cycles.
It's no longer located under FEM in simple mode, and in expert I can't find 3060 à BLINKZYKLEN_ANZAHL_TIPP - simply not there. Any ideas?

It's no longer possible to change that to more than 3.

Upgrade screen 6.5 to 8.8 with Bimmercode

Hi

My car is 330 Touring, F31, year 2017. I have screen 6.5 on my car. I already bought 8.8 screen from a BMW 330, F31, year 2018. Will install 8.8 screen on my car soon.

Can I use Bimmercode app that I can coding my screen?

DISPLAY_SIZE_RESOLUTION = 8.8_1280x480
DISPLAY_VARIANTE = breites_display

Is this what I need to coding, so screen will work properly?

Or I have to use computer with a software, E-Sys to execute FDL Coding?

Great!

Do I have to disable negative battery first BEFORE I´ll remove my old screen?

When everything is done, I will put negative back on the battery. I notice I have Bimmercode app but not full version. So I think I have to buy a full version first, right?

Sorry for my bad english.

You don't need to disconnect the battery for this installation.

You do need to buy Bimmercode app.

Simply removethe trim, unscrew the bolts on the old screen, remove power/display cable and do inverse installation with the new screen

Once you've done that, enter bimmercode and find the two options. (Bear in mind, last time I did it the options where hidden on a long misc list, so if you don't find them, keep looking).

Once you've changed the two options, press code, wait for the car to switch off and on, and then new screen should work.

Yesterday I got my OBDLink MX+.

What I got information about my car. It´s HU_NBT and I found :

Display size resolution : 10,25_1280x480
Display variante: Schmales_display.

I´m surprised about resolution that show 10.25... because my screen is 6.5. But it works on my 6.5

So I wonder if I only need change display variante to breites_display?

Was coding maxsaint 's LCI last night and everything worked except the angel eye brightness at 100% with the low beams on. Does anyone know if this a common issue with the LCI adaptive LED cars?

Hi

Yesterday I remove my old screen to new bigger screen 8.8. After I did coding with app and screen is working perfect!

Next step is apple car play... I found out that my car have EntryNav, not NBT.
I think I have two choice, buy Apple car MMI Plus from Bimmertech or change my EntryNav to NBT then upgrade software.

If I want buy NBT from Ebay, I need change cables? I only know that EntryNav red(color) contact is different and need use a new cable that will fit with NBT. If yes, so where can I buy these cables? Is this worth? Too expensive? MMI plus is a better choice? I would appreciate for your suggestion.

Thxs

Deactivating startup gong (seatbelt), startup warning, door open alarm: 2018 330e

Hi I finally have bimmercode and a VGate BT dongle but the submenus under the Head Unit don't show the things I want to code.

The 3 most important things for me to code are
1. the alarm when I push the start button without pressing on the brake before closing the door
2. the gong alarm when I start the car (push start while pressing on the brake) without my seatbelt buckled
3. The iDrive warning at startup that makes me push "OK" when I start the car

Am I looking in the wrong place? Is it different for the 330? Has that functionality been removed from the app?
