I think that means the new ECU update Mini did blocked those functions.

I remember that happening to my seat belt shortcuts after I got a new radio installed that was a warranty issue. Naturally Mini had to code it. After that the options were gray like you are seeing

Email Stephan through the app, explain you had an update.
Make sure the backups are included.

What update is this? I was just in last week, and there were none to be done..

The body control section. I emailed Stephan through the app and he responded that that section still needed to be added and would be there after the next update.

I went to their website and if this is true, then why are they still advertising the VGate for sale? I know they don't actually sell any of them, but they still advertise the Amazon website to buy them.

Hi all! What am I doing wrong? Bimmercode+ vgate icar 2 wifi + F54 S All4

Connect - "OK". Wi-Fi is good. Coding-OK. Write code-ok. Reload. Off/on ignition... Aaand - nothing changes Tried a few simple codes and something from Expert Mode.

Reconnect - read ECUs - load my new parameters.

Nothing special...

From standard - use smartfone ringtone, AM radio - not active, comfort closing delay - no delay.

Expert - change 3 to 5 turn signal
