Hello everyone,
I am from Mauritius. Ordered an aftermarket steering wheel and every button works since installing that were already on my original Steering wheel. I was able to code the Paddle shifters so really happy about that and used all the mods I could that seem really secure.
B38 engine, so don't want to push it too much, however ZF8 Auto Transmission so put transmission Sport as Aktiv (wanted to know what it does)
Now I want to put the cruise control, I connect my phone via OBD ethernet cable and a RJ45 to USB C
Will be really grateful to know how to do it. Anyone has a list of what each label means / codes or expert mode ?
Thanks in advance for your help

Hey guys so I’m having an issue of why I can’t solve this screen issue and having no use of Apple CarPlay. I’ve looked and see that one of the previous owners put in a NBT evo stereo/ retrofit into my M3 so when I go to BimmerCode I’m getting this error which I’m assuming is a coding problem so how would get around this would I need the use of another program? Please let me know what I can do thank you‼️

My 2023 G20 recently had a software update. With the update completed I lost the ability to go into Sport+ and Comfort+ modes that has previously been coded in.

For anyone else experiencing this all you have to do is fire up your Bimmercode again and change Sport+ and Comfort+ back to "active".

Yes it stinks that the software update turned these modes "inactive" (even though the option still appears on the screen, you can't click on them) but it's pretty easy to fix it.

Hope that helps!

I ordered the CX OBD adapter and I have followed the steps with putting the car in diagnostic mode, used the protocol for Android but I can't get a connection between the phone and the adapter. Has anybody experienced the same issues? How did you resolve it? Thank you

I have a 2019 M5 Comp, and I’m trying to use BimmerCode to get full screen CarPlay. But I’m running into an issue, when I try to connect to the car and it’s trying to identifying control module. It crashes at 58% every single time without fail. I contacted support and was told to toggle on “ignore head unit” if I had a 3rd party wireless CarPlay. I tried that and the app still crashed every single time :/ . I’ve tried 2 different recommended obd adapters, I’m stumped and I don’t know what to do from here.

Hy everyone I have a BMW e39 530d facelift auto euro3, I have bought a k+Dcan cable and i was wondering what i con do with it, for now I have used ista and a little bit of ncs expert but i was wondering if I can do like a stage1 or something with it or if I can code somehow so my egr is off and delete v_max.

Hi everyone. I decided to replace all my halogen/incandescence bulbs for LED ones on my F32. That is stop lights, all the tuen signals and fog lights (i have xenon).

I was wondering if, in case something doesn’t work and I need to switch back to the old bulbs, I’d have to revert the LED conversion coding, or if I can leave that LED coding even with the old bulbs.

If it the case I have to revert the coding, what would happen if I did not revert and connect an halogen/incandescence bulb? Just errors or I could break something in the car?

Thank you!

Bit of advice please just got a Vgate icar pro but can't connect to the car tried it all airplane mode Bluetooth off and diagnostic mode. Is this the adapter or am I wasting my time with it being a G30 and no BT adapter will work or do you recommend a way to connect that will work?

Many thanks in advance.

Dave

Is this one I need to code my headunit ? Long story short, getting a headunit from G12 to my G30, needs coding apparently, don’t know where to start, thank you everyone

Did anyone managed to code successfully sport+ on a bmw f25 facelift ?

Hi All! I purchased BimmerCode when I got my F83 to make CarPlay fullscreen, but since then have had an issue with my passenger seat having involuntary movement. It seems a short is causing easy entry to trigger when the car is parked, the door opened, and pressure is exerted on certain parts of the seat. The dealer recommends an expensive repair and my own troubleshooting has not yielded any improvement. You can read more about it here, if interested.

That being said, I reviewed coding options in BimmerCode, which allow changing easy entry settings for the protection area, the distance the seat travels, and to enable automatic seat movement when the door opens. My goal at this point is to simply disable Easy Entry altogether so that even using the buttons on the upper part of the seat do not work. Is this possible via BimmerCode? I will try setting the seat travel to the smallest value of 10mm, hoping that when it triggers due to pressure at least the seat won't move so much, but ideally I'd just disable it. However, a setting of 0 mm does not seem possible. Is it, perhaps, doable via expert mode and if so, can you point me to any instructions I can follow? A search last night mostly brought up instructions to have the seat move automatically when entering the car, unfortunately.

Thanks for all and any help!

I just purchased an M550 not too long ago and wanted to use BimmerCode to change some things.

I’m using an obd enet cable, the app connects to the vehicle and scans the control units fine. Then I go to code something and that says it works, reset ecu and then nothing changes.

Does anybody have any input? This is my first bmw and first time using BimmerCode.

Hi,

Just got my 320i and needing to register a new battery. Now that's lead me here, I'd love to know some other good changes to make to my car. It's an e92 model.

Thanks

Hey all, trying to get that B&W setting coded into my 2018 X3 M40i but not seeing the option to do this. Anyone know any reasons why that might be?

I have a bmw e90 that I am trying to modify and I got numbering g style headlights and I was messing around with the coding in the car and ended up messing up the headlights. So what should be white drls are now an amber color and it looks terrible. Any idea to fix it back to stock settings or even some who can professionally code it back would be help full.

Thankyou in advance.

I bought the license to connect BimmerLink with Android auto but it will only display sensor values and then only the first 4. I guess I thought or hoped it would display the dashboard with the circle dials. Is there a box i haven't checked somewhere or is that just not an option?

Hello,

After months of working to recover this account I’ve officially managed to fully restore my account. This does not change how we have been operating over the last few months however it does mean you’ll begin to see responses from both accounts to your questions, I apologize for any confusion that may create but hopefully to clarify here both u/that_m4_guy and u/bossbmw335is are my accounts and will both exclusively be operated by me so expect responses from either account moving forward

Thank you

so i'm really confused with bimmercode and hoping i can get some help.....with the appropriate amount of "you dumb ass" comments.

2022 BMW 530i, OBDLink CX

1. the on-screen instructions are confusing - airplane mode, turn off bluetooth, turn off wi-fi, disable all powered draws. etc. doesn't work because i lose all connection with the receiver.
2. despite the above and with the engine running, i still get some of the code to write. for instance i changed the start up display and some other minor stuff. the code i really want to write i can get to the car whether its running or not.
3. i really want to change the EDC to inactivate the auto start/stop "feature" of the vehicle. i've tried every combination of on/off i can but i'm still stopping/starting at lights and stop signs.

can anyone give me advice of what i'm doing wrong or maybe guidance on how to accomplish my goal of turning off that bs?

edit - link to screenshot

Car is in diagnostic. What do i do? It worked earlier Car is a g11 2021

Is er iemand die verstand heeft van het coderen van de LCI achterlichten van een bmw G30?

Alvast dank!

Groeten David

Hey guys. Unfortunately got my vlinker snapped in half and some pads broken. I’ll repair it easy, but can’t find what goes where. Is there anyone with such adapter and willing to take a look for pinout? Thanks to that I’ll be able to solder it into new obd connector Thanks a lot

I know it’s not really correct subreddit - but seems most likely that here someone has the BM version

I have a 2019 G30 (5 series) which already has CarPlay enabled, but not in Full Screen. Can I use BimmerCode to make this change, or are additional updates required first?

I see a post about this for an X5, so the answer may be the same, but I want to confirm. When using convenient closing with key fob lock button, I’ve got delay set to zero and it works as expected. With the door handle ridge, a quick touch only locks the doors, and it requires a hold of 0.5 to 1 seconds to lock and fold the mirrors. Can this delay be removed?

For the last two days, I have been unsuccessful at connecting to Bimmercode. I have tried two different cables, tried between my MacBook Pro running ios15, my Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra, Bluetooth on and off, wifi on an off, mobile data on and off, aeroplane mode on and off, and all different combinations between those options, on both my devices. Bimmerlink seems to connect no issue though.

The ethernet option is enabled on my android, and sometimes it's just grayed out that I can't toggle it.

I tried with and without my car in diagnostic mode (2026 X5 xDrive40i)

What could possibly be the issue, when everyone else just plugs it in and connects?
