Bimmerlink vs Bimmercode for turning off burbles and ASD?

Which one do you guys use to turn both those off. It's for a 2021 M2 comp.

BimmerLink

I used BimmerCode, it works too. When I bought it I wasn't even aware there was a BimmerLink and still don't fully understand the differences.

Does anyone understand the differences here?

BimmerCode is for all the features (seats, lights, windows, etc) and BimmerLink is more for diagnostics (battery registration, clearing faults, pulling trouble codes, etc.).

They just just happen to overlap with the ASD feature but only BimmerLink can code out burbles and open/close valves.

Ok, this makes sense. So basically if you want to code out burbles and ASD just get bimmerlink.

Pretty much.

Also confirming that the valve open option on BimmerLink is temporary, 10 minutes at best before the valve operation reverts back to factory settings. The app needs to be running with your phone for the valve setting to be remembered.

Weird because the burble aka "sound tuning" settings are saved and the app doesn't need to run.

Plus turning off ASD via BimmerLink is just a simple On/Off setting. With BimmerCode, it takes longer to "code" it and if you want to turn it back on, you have to restore it from a backup that it saves when you code it out.

I used bimmercode to turn off ASD and bimmerlink to turn off the burbles (sound tuning). Once you have turned off the burbles with bimmerlink, you don't need to be connected to the app with the obd hooked up. However if you use bimmerlink to turn off asd, it will not remember that setting unless you remain plugged in to the obd with the app running.

That's weird because based on my experience, ASD stays off with BimmerLink.
Edit - Never mind me. You are correct, ASD Is NOT persistent with BimmerLink. I just checked and mine is off because I have it off with BimmerCode. So you need BimmerLink to turn off the burbles and BimmerCode to turn off ASD for good. Sorry about that.

This is one reason I just got both.

Thank you for this. I had bimmercode and have been annoyed by the burbles since buying the car. Getting bimmerlink now to turn them off!

What if I want to turn it back on, but do not have a backup file?

Reason being I believe the previous owner disabled it, but i’m unsure how (bimmerlink, bimmercode, etc….) I verified and there’s no physical harness.

new guy question here....

does either BimmerCode or BimmerLink cause warranty to be voided?

Any dealer that gives you a hard time about warranty after coding out ASD or adding comfort fold on your mirrors is garbage.
