I have my car coded to startup on ECO PRO mode.

What's the difference between eco start up default and the "Saving of ECO PRO driving mode after shutdown allowed"

I thought that if you have it start up at eco mode, when you turn your engine off and back on throughout the day, the car will always start eco mode.

So what is the "Saving of ECO PRO driving mode after shutdown allowed" function for? If I keep this disable, the car will still boot up in eco mode. What am I saving after the shut down?

Does the M2 even have an ECO PRO mode?

The lights themselves are amber. That would be impossible.

Maybe beemerboy means the amber signal lights?
I was able to code those off.

On a 17 m2 can I update the idrive to 6.0 through basic coding? Can't find it. Side note, do you like idrive 6 better then 5? Why or why not ?

Coded mine out and replaced bulbs with the silver ones so that you don't even see the Amber through the lense.

The lights themselves were literally amber? Like the glass? That's what I'm talking about. There is no way coding can change the color of glass.

Indeed you can‘t do this via coding...

You can use ID6 Light, which I believe is more of a skin for iDrive 5 to make it look like idrive 6. I have done this, I prefer the live tiles of ID 6

I just read through the entire thread and saw several people ask about Video In Motion.....

The thumb drive plugged in to the USB needs to be formatted to FAT32? What format are the video files suppose to be in to play??

Is it possible to get engine management info from these ODB II devices? I'd like to be able to see oil temp/pressure, coolant temp, voltage etc.
Thanks for any information members can provide,.

It's not really coding, but get a copy of Torque Pro. It has all the info you need.

Anyone else noticed this? Angel eyes 100% means that when i flash people to thank or let them go in the daytime, they just don't seem to see my intentions. Seems ok at night. I'm unfamiliar with which lights are being used when, but I'm guessing the running lights are the same as the flashers, or that the flashers are relatively dim, meaning the angel eyes are dominating them?

Is this problem still occurring? esys is no longer an option. And in Canada we can't download the map updates.

Will BimmerCode do battery registering and recoding?

McGary911 · 07-01-2018, 07:26 AM

Hmm. I can't get to page 80 in this thread. I've tried with 2 different devices\browsers.
