Electrical Countryman-Specific Coding - R60 Guide
#177
What I mean by delay is make the warning come on at a different interval. In BMW's infinite wisdom, the lowest level for our vehicle is already set at around 35mi or ~1.5gal US.
This is the line that affects when the light/warning comes on:
TANK_SCHWELLE_RESERVE
wert_01
wert_02 should equal around 45mi / ~2gal US.
wert_03 should equal around 55-60mi / ~2.5gal US
**and**
TANK_SCHWELLE_AUF/AB
wert_02
Change this to wert_01, and you should be able to set the warning to around 6 liters.

Thank god someone else noticed this...
When I had my R60 in for service, I was driving an R56s and noticed that the gauge was like that. I thought to myself, "Wow, I'm glad mine isn't like that!"
As luck would have it, the latest Datens make every tach look like that. As of yet, I have not found a way around it, or a path back to the old look. If someone else has, please chime in.
I believe they've actually edited the layout in the software that extends beyond what we have the ability to code in/out... Quite sad really.

Side note on that issue:
I'm in the process of reviewing the v46 Datens (just came out) to see if there's anything different that we can look into for this issue (or any others).
And yes, these will be made available shortly for those that would like to mess with these. Interesting find in the v46 logs... Paceman (ahem... Countryman Coupe), anyone?

Ok.. So I have followed this for awhile and bought a R60 2012 Countryman s All4.. I have only a mac and don't know a thing about coding. Like with the company ( DVDinMotion) where you put a disc in and it codes everything you want, can this be done without me trying to fiddle around with the coding?

As an alternative to doing the coding yourself, you could check THIS thread to see if an NCS Expert coder is available in the Seattle area.
BTW - You can run a Windows OS on your Mac along with OS X using Apple's BootCamp software (requires a reboot) or virtualization software (Parallels or VMWare) which allows OS X and Win to run simultaneously...
HTH,

I completely agree and understand. There is a huge mini community up here and a ton of tech programmers and coders.. Just they don't reside in the same person!! LOL
QUestion though, is there a DVD that can update the code? Meaning you write what I want, code it to a CD then I install this into my mini?

hey guys, so I got my cable finally and sucessfully coded a bunch of stuff I wanted, like the 2 touch sunroof and keyfob allowing windows to go up/down.
For some reason though, I lost two features! My car no longer blinks 3 times if i depress the turn signal, it only blinks once. Anyone know what the code is for this?
ALso my doors used to lock when i drove away, they no longer do. Any idea what caused this or how I can code it back?

Yep - no problem. Both of those are switched in the car's software, itself.
If you have Connected, it will be in your options menu. If you don't, you should be able to go through the menu on your tach's DIC.
Set the blinks to 3 and the drive-off locks to on. You're all set!

oh sweet, so it wasnt caused by anything I did while coding?
I assume when you say DIC, youre referring to the BC?
