I tried to restore but get an error. I just get a red light on the app next to air conditioning.

I also disconnected the battery but it didn't effect anything.

I email their customer support so waiting on a response.

Has anyone else ran into this problem?

I can't hard code it anymore since my laptops (mac&win) stopped connecting to my car.

I need to know if the app is capable of coding auto fold, auto tilt wing/side mirrors on an F60 that doesn't yet have the hardware and wiring installed. I have all the parts and about to install. I know I'll need to code the features via either the service software or an app like this. I think this app would be the simplest approach, but wanted to confirm it is capable of performing the coding.

Can someone please let me know it can do this?

TIA!

Videos only play as audio files. they are named as mp4 and are encoded to work on iOS devices. also i don't see the option to see playlists in my infotainment either. hmmmm

tia!

For vid in motion I don’t think it works in the US.

These were the steps I took a while back. One thing to remember, the VIM doesnt stick if you code your with BimmerCode again and the unit resets, you must go through the activation process again.

1. With BimmerCode, I selected the video in motion option
2. When the unit rebooted, followed the steps to push the controller foward until progress is complete
3. There will be a pop up to turn off "lock"
4. VIM activated

Also, just place one video file on a formatted fat32 flash drive. No audio files. When I did the test I only had that one video file.

Btw I’m in the US with a 2018 F56.

I'm trying to do this because the rumble of the car in sport mode is becoming very tiresome.

My head unit then stops working after the ECU goes to sleep and the ignition comes on again. I’ve been able to restore a backup, both times, and get the head unit display back, but it is nerve racking. Anybody else had any trouble coding the head unit with BimmerCode.
