I did the BL and BFD mapping for 1 and 2 respectively, and it caused the 8041C3 code mentioned above. This is the exact reason why I reverted back to the defaults. Again I do believe BL and BFD are the right values but the computer thinks the mapping is not appropriate at least on UJ light for USA version.

 

And you set
Both Left and Right
as

BFD_x_KALTUEBERWACHUNG - nicht_aktiv
BFD_x_WARMUEBERWACHUNG - nicht_aktiv
BFD_x_IS_LED - aktiv

BL_x_KALTUEBERWACHUNG - nicht_aktiv
BL_x_WARMUEBERWACHUNG - nicht_aktiv
BL_x_IS_LED - aktiv

FRA h _x_KALTUEBERWACHUNG - nicht_aktiv
FRA h _x_WARMUEBERWACHUNG - nicht_aktiv
FRA h _x_IS_LED - aktiv

 

That is correct and these are needed for the UJ setup. Code 8041C3 is about the mapping, and unless someone can proof me wrong the ECU on USA version car just do not expect one to change BRAKEFORCED_1 and BRAKEFORCED_2 to EU values (bl and bfd respectively).

 

The video I posted above proves that it works!!

The code comes from setting blinking to fra.

 

Again I trust it works but does not mean the computer is not storing a code. This is 100% true when you code BFD on UJ light for USA cars. My post above is to help folks understand this and see if someone has solved it.

 

The code you acquired was setting blinkend and leaving fra
as it say in the settings blinking-brake lights. Not blinking turn signals

 

No, the code I shared is when you set blinkend and map to bl and bfd per the instructions posted here. I shared the defaults and clearly it was area enlargement. Since I don't think you have UJ light and seen the code, I can understand it is hard for you to understand.

 

Question for the group here. I currently have a 2023 Cooper SE on order and it should be arriving in month or so. The car will come with the Mini LED headlights as I understand. My VO currently include the 8S4 "Variable Light Decoding" option on the build. I have been researching to see if anyone has had luck with removing this from the VO and activating the VLD and matrix headlight function on the Mini? See this video for them in action:

 

You ask a good question that I'm very curious to hear the answer to. I do believe folks in the BMW world have figured out how to code the additional functionality that is (currently) only offered outside the U.S. I guess the first question to answer is whether or not the U.S. headlights have the same physical capabilities as the non-U.S. matrix lights. That is, do they have the actual components necessary in the headlights themselves. If they do, then the next question is, is there a separate module that provides the matrix functionality? If no, can the existing modules be programmed accordingly with the proper VO code(s), or can the appropriate model be retrofitted?

 

I agree... do you actually have the identical hardware? If the answer is yes then the chance of coding the functionality to work is pretty high.

 

Hey! I’ve actually tried this on my 2020 F56 and after many attempts with a coder, we found out the USA headlights are different from the European variant and sadly lack the components for Matrix LED. You could totally just replace them with the Euro version, code them, and it would work (the coder mentioned they’ve done this before). I’ve found the part numbers before but can’t seem to locate them right now… I’ll keep looking and update if I find them.

 

Well this is a bummer, but also what I expected of the U.S. lights. Now to find a source for the European headlights for my 2023 F60… Unfortunately, my 2019 F57 doesn’t have the KAFAS camera, so I don’t think it would work at all for that car.

 

Question, I was unable to see/locate if the app had the ability to clear interval maintenance reminders of oil change/brakes/etc ....

Thnaks!

 

I don't recall that it does. I just use the onboard system (trip reset button) to clear the codes.

 

I'm trying to code my power folding side mirrors to fold/unfold on lock/unlock. I got it to work by using the remote to lock/unlock but the door handle buttons dont work. I think if i unlock the door using the door handle, it will unfold the mirror but when i use the button to lock, it doesnt fold. Anyone know?

 

Same behavior with the 2023 F60. Mirrors fold automatically with the key fob, but only with the door button if I hold it.

 

I always use the door handle button, holding it down for a few seconds, but I don’t know how to do it from the fob. Does it have to be coded to make that work?

I would like them to fold whenever I lock the car.

You have to hold the door handle button for a bit. It's about a second on our '22, and about 3 seconds on our '19.

 

Yes, you can set that option with Bimmercode.

 

thanks guys! I just had to hold the door handle button for slightly longer (not even that much longer. Maybe just a split second) when locking and it folded the mirrors

 

I am retrofitting an original alarm system into R53 (1st gen). Will I be able to code alarm system by this app?

 

I didn't see anybody post about doing this previously, but it worked fine:

On my F54 (2019, pre-lci2) I retrofitted a fog light switch into the car. I coded the fog light switch so that it would turn on just the rear left light in the barn door. I coded the brake lights to activate both lights in the barn doors (both left and right).

I was curious if the brake lights and fog light would function under these settings they do. If I turn on the fog lights, just the left barn door light activates. If I then depress the brake pedal, both barn door lights are on. If the fog light is turned off, and I depress the brake pedal, both lights are on.

Now to figure out wiring for the front fog lights retrofit =).

 

Unfortunately, no.

I am a real newbie at this stuff. Hopefully someone may be able to answer a question for me. I have received a 2023 JCW Clubman. I have the pop up display showing speed as well as tachometer. When I move the selector into the manual shift position the circle inside the RPM shows me which gear I am in. Is their a way I can program this to show which gear the car is in even when it is in automatic mode?
Thanks for the help, Steve

 

Finally found the end of this thread!

Anyways, are there any issues or problems that people run into using Bimmercode. I basically bought it just for the fullscreen carplay, but am hesitant to try it at all due to possible issues and then maybe warranty concerns.

Anyone know of anything?

Thank you in advance.
