F54 Bimmercode app
#76
FYI: I started a thread in FAQ for bimmercode app codings. Check it out. If you have a tested coding parameter and it's not listed feel free to add it. As I see new postings I'll try to keep the list updated. I think it'll be easier to have this info in one place rather than spread across multiple threads/forums. Any suggestions for improvements let me know.

I ran into a snag. I selected a few changed and then coded. One change didn't take. It's the option to unlock the doors when the engine is turned off. When I first got this Mini I paid to have coding done, and this feature worked until I took the car in for its first service visit. I've tried just selecting that one feature and the Code button did not light up to process the change. Any thoughts?

I was told by the people at bimmercode that the last Mini software update made that shortcut inoperable. I don't know if anyone has come up with a workaround using expert mode yet. Bimmercode update is due in the next week, or so rumor has it. Maybe they will address this in the update.

Which is inoperable, the lock or the turn signal? The lock is one of the primary reasons I want to code. I find it ridiculous that I have to remember to hit the unlock button before I get out of the car. Otherwise when I go to lock it I need to hit the Comfort Access button a few times before the car locks.
i just pull pull the door handle to get out. Then push comfort access button once to lock.

I can live without the turn signal blinking five times. I really want to door to unlock when I turn off the engine.

The way my car works - I open the handle to unlock and open my door. The passenger door doesn't unlock. I get out and hit the button on the door handle. The passenger door unlocks. I push it again to lock everything. Sometime one push doesn't unlock the passenger door. Sometimes one push doesn't lock everything. I average about three button pushes to lock the car. My workaround - I turn off the ignition and hit the unlock button on the inside of the car door. That way when I get out, one push on the handle button locks the car. It's annoying. That's why I loved it when it was coded to unlock the doors when turning off the engine.

I've noticed that none of the items I changed are actually working. The app says they have been altered but they have not.

With your turn signals, you can change this is the mini menu without using bimmercode, same with the door locks. Check that out.

The latest update to BimmerCode finally makes this a killer app. I have a 2018 Clubman S and a lot of the functions weren’t previously available. Today I was finally able to disable the disclaimer screen and even better I was able to get the JCW tach to display in the heads up display.
You have to go in to expert mode in both the HUD and KOMBI ECUs and enable the following:
HUD, set HUD_SPORTANZEIGE_ENABLE, HUD_SPORTANZEIGE_FES_ENABLE, and HUD_SPORTANZEIGE_MS_GASSE_ENABLE to AKTIV.
So it’s six things you need to activate. Once you’re done, go in to your settings for the HUD and you’ll see new options for sports display.

Thanks! I'm in Aurora, so you would be quite close. I'll look back at this thread if I need it done, but last time I was at the dealer's I asked for the seat heater to be hotter. They replied that they could NOT do so, because it was within tolerance. However, it feels hotter to me! So I think maybe they did something accidentally.
I also bought the plug, and downloaded the Bimmercode app, though I haven't yet paid for the ability to make code changes. I'm waiting for the dead of winter to see if it is hot enough.

I'm sorry that this didn't work for. It's bazaar that I can lock the car from the door handle with one push and you cannot. You've changed the door key button settings, using your iDrive controller to get to the settings menu, to unlock all doors with one press and it still didn't work? Strange!

I successfully managed to make one change. Using expert mode, the car no longer honks when I get out and lock it with the engine running. Yay.
Regarding trying to get it to unlock on engine off, I found this in the list I linked:
Unlock Door on Engine OFF (1 pull):
3040 VAM_UNLOCK_KL15OFF_AFTER_PIA_AUTO_LOCK = aktiv 01
That option is not listed under 3040 on my app.
