Hi, would it be possible to code in a new TMS sensor for the headlights on the F10 2012, with this? Common problem is condensation inside causing errors. Need to replace the TMS sensor or possibly the whole unit, will this allow me to code the replacement parts? Thanks again, nice video!

How to use full screen on f10/f11? Can see your screen on car is full screen while mine is splitted, left side is menu, right one I suppose would be camera in case I have it, want mine to be full screen as well

Hi good night do you know how to code in the flashing brake force light on a f10? I code in the first four in the footwell module there is supposed to be a fifth option in another module but I cannot find it.

My car only has a language option for German and Dutch can I use this to reprogram the I drive software to a newer updated version as mine is somehow unprogrammed and doesn't have any other language options (bimmercode)

@B wise - I believe your would need to use esys for the reprogram and add languages.

[@abates49ers]

Man!!! I just bought a 2015 M5 and I can’t get the folding rear view mirrors to work Any tips??

[@SheziMotorsport]

@Andrew Bates - first of all congrats on the m5.. enjoy the car. When you hook up bimmercode code do you have bdc or fem modules, do you see mirror section if so enable them and you have to have power folding mirrors. Or do you mean mirror tilt on passenger side?

[@abates49ers]

@@SheziMotorsport interestingly enough, I just found out, while reading bimmer blogs, that I have to hold the center button to lock the doors and get the rearview mirrors to tilt up. Now regarding the passenger mirror tilting down when I put the car in reverse… How does the car no to do that or what if I want the driver side window to tilt down?

[@SheziMotorsport]

@andrew bates - the mirror switch have to be on the driver side position and than passenger side mirror will tilt when car in reverse. I believe with coding you can make it tilt like 87° or something and you can also make them dark so at night so car behind you doesn't bother with it's headlights.

@arsen varden - I could be wrong but iPhone doesn't support screen mirroring like Android. Let me look in expert mode to see what codes are there bc with esys yes you can enable once the wifi cable had been installed which is used as screen mirroring..
