I received adapters really fast from Maaii and made the installation today.
It was quite easy to do, even this was my first mod to any car ever
One tricky part was to figure out connectors and make changes there. Changing tail lights was quite easy step and using Bimmercode took for a while.
But finally everything works fine!

Next step is to replace Clubman logo with piano black version.

can I ask if you use the bimmercode code app on a phone? Or you need a laptop?

I actually bought a set of a clubman owner from fb with your loop.

can I just ask if I can use the vgate i car pro dongle and iPhone bimmercode to code the car?

should I code the car before installing the light? Or install the light first?

thanks!

Hello Ken

You can use bimmercode to code this UJ taillights.

But you need to code it one by one. Many items need to code.

I can just use iPhone with bummer code to code right?
I have the print out that you made. So will give it a try once the i car pro come.

Yes, I used the bimmercode app. I had also VeePeak OBDCheck BLE OBD Bluetooth adapter (with Android phone).
As Maaii mentioned earlier, there are quite many settings what need to be changed. But if you have that information, it's quite easy to do with this application.

thanks! I do have those instructions printed out. But thinking if I should code the car than fit the light or fit the light then code it 😂

I did my installation about this order:

1) wiring modifications (to the connectors what can be found from A-pillar)
2) change tail lights
3) tested that lights works correctly (I got of course couple of warnings)
4) coding the car with bimmercode
5) tested that lights still works and there is no warnings anymore

with regards to the coding on bimmercode. Do I have code every line individually?!

Yes, at least I did so (about 70 of them). After a while it was quite easy to do, most of them are very similar.
Settings can be found from menus:
3064, 3065 for the light mapping
3061 for all the others

Information above was found earlier from this thread, thanks for that information to the sender.

Hi Maaii,
I was reading your posts about retrofitting the unionjack tail lights to F54, I have the same issue as the rest of us - wiring. Is it still possible to buy the wiring from you? If yes, please let me know.

Hello

I wrote a install guide to retrofit UJ taillight, it's very easy to install. You need to know not only how to code your car by using esys or bimmercode but also
need to swap ECU pins on BDC ECU side.

For LED headlight, you can check the thread

Up near the top, on the right, you should see "Edward Jeong" with down arrow immediately after it. Click on the arrow, and select Private Messages.

Or, also up near the top, on the right, you should see "Welcome, Edward Jeong". Two lines below that, you should see the link Private Messages (in blue, underlined).
