Looking for someone in Los Angeles area experienced with BimmerCode to code a few items for me:
1. Auto fold side mirrors (yes, I have folding side mirrors)
2. Shut off radio when door is opened
3. Fogs on with headlight/high beams

Thanks in advance, I’ll supply refreshments or whatever else is required.

Cheers!

I’m hoping that a local person, with the necessary software and equipment can offer their resources. I’d rather not invest in what seems to be a simple one time exercise. But maybe it won’t be possible, or maybe people are concerned about doing this work in someone else’s car.

Next will I’ll be BimmerTech to get my SiriusXM code installed.

Standing by for a bit with fingers crossed.

Cheers!

As someone new to MINI, with my new to me F56, I appreciate the question. My answer, I have no idea but I’m hoping others will chime in with their experience.

Im not clear why installing the SiriusXM code would delete other programming. Needing a SiriusXM code installed at additional cost on a car equipped with satellite hardware is really, really annoying. (Notice I had to write “really” twice to convey my level of frustration.)

Spending money to code fratures that should be simple simple user settings, or preinstalled as on every other car (except BMW I guess) is really, really absurd.

Thanks to all for your help with this.

Cheers!

Thanks so much. I’ll reach out for help.

Cheers!

Wow! Now I’m wondering when my dealer service advisor told me they buy the code from SiriusXM, were they misinformed themselves as to where the code comes from, or were they misinforming me due to their shame over BMW’s greed?

Thanks for the insight into how this process really works. I’m still looking for a Coder...

Cheers!

yes, he responded yesterday and it looks like I have a plan. Thanks so much.

Thanks so much to TVPostSound for the referral to Alex, a local coder who knows what he’s doing. In just a few minutes I had SiriusXM added to my HK satellite prepared radio, plus he did some other coding for me, and the cherry on top is the full year of free SiriusXM.

Thanks for helping me get this done, and for WAY less money and way less time than the local dealers wanted.

Cheers!

Actually, he was standing outside of a funeral home, with laptop in backpack. My daughter was a bit schetched out by the scenario, turns out he’s a very nice guy. He gave me tips for getting my free year of SiriusXM service and even gave me some cash back because of how little work he had to do. Thanks again for the referral.

BMW is just greedy, no way the SiriusXM code should be an “option” you have to pay for, and I don’t understand why the feature capabilities of the key fob aren’t already coded, along with the other features I had coded. Pure greed, and I’m guessing if owners aren’t on this forum, they have no idea of the hidden features buried in the ECU of their cars.

Cheers!

This is great
