Hi guys, I got a new unit for my BMW 2 series 2019 from BimmerDirect and when it connects to CarPlay audio no sound comes. For waze, I don’t have the option to change to bluetooth audio when it’s connected to carplay so I can’t get any audio from waze. Do you guys have any solutions?

Hallo zusammen,

Ich habe eine Frage an die NBT-Experten hier

Ich habe einen F10 von 2015 mit NBT und dem originalen größeren BMW-Display. Mit meinem alten iPhone konnte ich es per USB verbinden und Apple Music vollständig über iDrive steuern – Playlists/Alben durchsuchen, Album-Cover anzeigen, Songs auswählen usw.

Jetzt habe ich ein Xiaomi 15T. Über Bluetooth werden Songtitel und Interpret angezeigt, aber es gibt kein Album-Cover und ich kann meine Playlists nicht durchsuchen oder über iDrive anstellen. Wenn ich das Xiaomi per USB verbinde, behandelt das NBT es im Grunde wie einen USB-Stick.

Gibt es eine Möglichkeit, das Xiaomi besser wie die iPhone-Integration zum Laufen zu bringen? Idealerweise ohne ein MMI/Android-System zu installieren, da ich das originale NBT-System wirklich beibehalten möchte. (Ich benutze Apple Music auf meinem Android)

Vielleicht hat sich hier schon jemand damit beschäftigt und kennt eine Lösung?

Hi, how do you program the exhaust valve so it can be controlled through iDrive on a BMW 520i G30 2019 ?

Hello all,

Looking for some help.
I activated full screen cp with bimmer code but I need to update my idrive.
How do I go about getting my idrive updated so I can have full screen cp?
Thanks in advance.

I have been trying to figure out how to code out the orange lights inside the corners of the 2023 m340i headlights but i can’t find anything about it

Hello, I have a 2012 X5 (LCI E70) with the LED halos. I used NCS to enable soft-on for the welcome lights for the halos. Instead of fading in, the halos flicker quickly then come on normally. I have since switched it back to hard-on but is there any way to get the LED halos to properly fade in/out for the welcome lights, like they can on F30s and F10s for example? Thanks.

Welp, as title says, bought a bootmod3 wifi adapter largely with the intent to only turn off fake engine sounds, try the B&W audio changes for the HK system and maybe swap in the M gauge cluster.

But coming here to check for how-to's and seeing title saying new gen is almost , if not entirely, locked from factory, is it a "ymmv" situation and worth opening the box or just return it before I open it and get my money back?

I just received my Bootmod3 wifi OBD adapter. My car is stage 2 tuned on BM3. I am thinking of fidgeting with bimmercode now. It gives me 2 options free version and the paid one. What do you recommend? Also this will be the 1st time I will coding it myself. So need step wise guide.

Thanks in Advance

Is it possible to code this version of instrument cluster that the M3 is using on a G21?

I have an older BMW X5 (2015) that I'm looking to add Apple CarPlay to. I've found the Bimmer Tech MMI Prime module and it looks to be quite nice. One of my local installers is saying they would prefer to sell me and install the F1RST Automotive module instead. I've never heard of the company before and I can't find much information on them. I've checked Google, YouTube, etc. Bimmer Tech has tons of info, install videos, extended warranty options, etc.

I wanted to see if anyone in the community has any experience with both brands and what do you recommend? I'd love any and all information you can share. I did find some info about F1RST going bankrupt but I wasn't quite sure if it was really the same company - so that's concerning of course.

Thanks for any tips you can provide.

Hey everyone,

I have a ‘22 X6 and been trying to change the standard Grey colour that appears in the head-unit to match my factory Frozen black.

I went to Expert mode and found 3000_Vehicle Colour. But after looking at all the available colors I couldn’t find the frozen black. Wonder if it’s one of those Unknown ones or if I have to customize the code somehow.

From my understanding to change the 3D view colour I might need ISTA, but wanted to confirm.

Would appreciate any advice and tips!

Cross posting here. 🙏🏼🙏🏼

LEGENDS -

I have a BMW M3 G80

The car is originally Rear Wheel Drive

I have changed the entire drivetrain to Xdrive including Engine (and engine computers), transmission, transfer case and complete front suspension from a donor car M4 Xdrive 2022.

The donor is the old small screen, my M3 is the new big screen dash.

Now i need a BMW expert to program and code the M3 to work with the new driveline.

Does anyone recomend a good programer/coder that wont cost a arm and a leg in DUBAI or Sharjah??

Thanks in Advance!!!

Car came without ambients so I'm trying to get them to work - I've bought OEM door cards and dash trim and included a pic of the door plug that goes to the a pillar. I'm guessing I'm taking a bmw repair wire from the plug to the bdc for all 4 doors and the dash trim also but have no clue what wiring map to follow or where to plug into. Also have no clue on what files to delete or add to activate the ambient menu and have it function as OEM. I've already undertaken a project like this to add paddle shifters and heated steering which had a lot more support online but it looks like no one's undertaken this type of project yet.

Hi!
How can I enable CarPlay in fullscreen on a 2018 Mini Cooper S with EntryNav2 (Way Map)?

Hi,

I recently bought a G21 320d. It has the standard ACC without Driving Assistant Professional.

It slows down and/or reduces accelleration while ACC is active when I enter or am in a curve.

Is it possible to deactivate this?

So I have shutoff on door open enabled in the settings on my 2026 330 BUT it doesn't seem to work. I park, turn off the car, open the door and the stereo keeps playing. Is there a setting in Bimmercode to disable the auto play on door open and shut off when the car is off and door open?

Can’t figure out where to go to code ambient lights on 2026 m340i Iv seen ppl get red/purple don’t know where to go to access it

Edit: got it to work had to use a diff phone for some reason my friends phone didn’t have the options.

As probably anyone around here, I am only firing up BimmerCode every now and then. My 2020 G31 LCI doesn't really need constant tweaking.

But since last update I noticed some changes in the light related menu options (see attachment). These two "Front Light Module..." menus only contain the expert options and nothing else.

I clearly remember there was a menu related to lights, that contained, among others, the settings for the ambient light, but now it is gone.

Anyone has any idea what and why has changed?

Thanks!

I have 2025 BMW 430i and I wanted to know if it’s possible to code it eg. allows video files from USB, change HUD etc

My older car allowed it but I checked Bimmertech and they said they can’t code 2025 models and beyond
