Auto Climate Control: Possible to adjust temp on both sides with driver's dial?

It's annoying to have to adjust both driver and passenger side temperatures.

Is this an option available on BimmerCode?

Other cars let you do this.

Thanks.

Looked for this for my 2017 F56S, didn't find it. Similarly thought it was a little weird not to have, but they didn't ask me when they designed the car so I'm clearly too late

I would love a Sync button as well, but I've never found out a way to do it, even with Bimmercode.

My plan is to check the BMW forums, but my expectations are low.

Is this feature on any identified model of BMW right now? Or is this maybe one of those "well who would be interested in THAT" kind of product design weirdnesses?

Very cool. Unfortunately for us, though, his mod required physical circuit board modification. Here's his full DIY (link taken from the text under the video when you go look at it on YouTube proper).

Good find regardless...
