Which adapter is everybody using? Considering downloading the app and there's numerous options.

iOS + vGate iCar 2 WIFI

Cars: F54 2017 and 2016

All ok!

I have Carly but does not allow me to code without their SPECIFIC OBD Dongle so I use it for diagnostics and such. I'm curious to see what CarlyBMW has to compare in regards to coding. But don't feel like dishing out $70 or something for theirs. For now I just use BimmerCode, much cheaper.

Waiting for the day someone sells their Carly dongle or offers a "rental" service for a few days lol.

Stephan at Bimmercode stopped supporting those due to issues.

Hi! Can you be more specific about what means "stopped supporting"... Stefan blocked this adapter from working in the next app's updates or just does not guarantee correct work with it? If everything works well now, can I continue to use it?

Thanks!

coding the minimum speed of ACC
 

My MINI Cooper S will arive in this autumn.

How can I code the minimum speed of ACC with the new 2018 MINI F56 Cooper S?
I'd like to try, but I can not find information about ACC.

As for the rear fog light as brake light, the base Cooper has a single central fog light, not left and right - would the coding be different?

Thinking of taking the plunge on my 2019, disabling the "safety" screen since it takes far to long to auto dismiss compared to my 2007.. and seems to chime forever. So if I can get that, at the moment, useless light to do something I would like to.

It sure looks like there is a bulb in there, but it's hard to tell. It could all just be ornamental - lens and chrome around it.

I can confirm that I was able to enable the rear fogs as brake lights on my wife's 2019 F57. The bulbs and all the wiring is there.

That's promising, now just to figure out the coding for a the single central light vs the left and right fog lights of S.

Surely others have enabled the rear fog light on the Cooper models. I'd imagine there's info on this site about that somewhere, or maybe over at minif56.com?

Same coding as two lights, just leave off one of the lines, left or right, can't recall. Probably would work if you left them both in.

A lot of us have, I the one that pasted that code in the 1st post after I coded it on my Mini. It works, double check your steps

What year MINI? Maybe changes have been made to render the coding obsolete. Mine works in both 2014 & 2016.

Anybody know if we are able to use this app to change the chimes from Mini to BMW chimes?

Yes. I changed it to Rolls Royce, but BMW was an option as I recall.

Yes, and you can even turn them off, as I have chosen to do.

Is it possible to code the fog lights to turn on when headlights (low beam) are on?

Are you talking about the front or rears? You can just press a button for the front to turn on

Ok, where is the option to make the radio volume higher at startup? I cant find it!

In standard mode Its in HU_NBT > audio > volume at start up. Not sure about expert mode?
Stock on mine is set at 25% - as far as I know you can go up to 100% !

Awesome! thank you

I have a UK spec Oct 2017 MCS (with Thatcham Alarm Immobiliser), have recently purchased a Vgate iCar Pro Bluetooth 4.0 OBD adapter and have unlocked the BimmerCode app (iOS). Two queries:

1. The adapter seems to read the ECU ok but whilst playing around in Basic Mode I notice that some of the values displayed are clearly wrong, including a couple of things coded by a friend with a Carly. Anyone know why the values displayed are not correct?

2. What I really want is for the horn to sound when locking the car and although the app says the coding was successful (in Basic Mode).... There is no sound when locking! Reading through this thread however, the perceived wisdom is to do everything in Expert Mode. Anyone know the settings to achieve what I want in Expert Mode?

Something works though, as have successfully activated the rear DRLs (outer ring rear lights) whilst in Basic Mode.

Can anybody help please? Tia.

I think you need to have the alarm system to get sound when locking. At least that is what I recall. Don't know why you get false readings on the coding. Contact the Bimmercode owner, he is very responsive to requests.

Thanks. UK spec MINIs have a Thatcham alarm immobiliser fitted as standard.
Will pen a query to BimmerCode.
Thanks again :thumbsup:

How do I get rid of the legal disclaimer that I have to hit ok for when the car is first started?

Thanks in advance.

Hi guys, does anyone here can help me how to disable the rear arch reflector light off?
Bimmercode found me the front one but they were not be able to find the rear one.


FYI to disable front:
MAPPING_SIDEMARKER_L_OUTPUT = OFF
MAPPING_SIDEMARKER_R_OUTPUT = OFF

wanted: F60 hybrid advanced mods
 

Hi,

I installed bimmercode and unlocked coding yesterday, hoping to:

1. deactivate cold/hot checks on indicator, stop and reversing lights (Successful)
2. prevent hyper-flashing on LED indicators by changing type from "bulb" to LED. (coded but not tested due to 1 remaining filament bulb)
3. deactivate key-fob tailgate open function (Coded but tested unsuccessful *)

4. If possible I would like to auto lower door mirror on reverse (I activated this in the code, but selecting reverse in the garage did not move the mirror. Later reverted the setting back to inactive).
5. If possible I would like to start the car (hybrid) in Max eDrive mode, but could not find a setting for this. I did try changing Driving mode from Comfort to ECO PRO, which successfully caused it to start in "Green" mode. I then reverted to default "Comfort" as green is not what I want. It would be great if there were an option to change the hybrid system start mode as well, maybe this exists in "Advanced" settings??


Of the above, the only settings which worked out of the box were regarding the LED indicator, stop and reversing bulbs.

I'll revert the whole system back to the original config. this evening, then just code the bulbs until I know what I'm doing with the rest. The tailgate is a particular irritation as I already damaged it by opening it up against a brick wall. I found a discussion of this on an X3 forum, but no clear answer was given regarding the advanced settings to disable key-fob open, although it was hinted that they existed.

Can anyone help by suggesting advanced settings for the options I couldn't find/didn't work, especially point 3?

3*
Whatever I did here, the tailgate continued to open on remote fob keypress, but changing the "Open" settings also seemed to interfere with the Close functionality, possibly even on the footwell rocker switch (which I hardly ever used so can't remember how it used to behave). It now requires a push and hold to close the tailgate.
