BIMMERCODE: BRAKE FORCE DISPLAY (FLASHING BRAKES)

[@ThicWhips]

In order to use BFD: you must be driving at a high rate of speed and braking VERY hard. It’s called brake FORCE display, not brake SOFT display. 😉

[@nuced2]

Thic F30 Do you have the expert mode coding for the rear drls? On a G series?

[@nuced2]

...or just the coding? I’ve found that most menus are not available, due to the options being available in idrive. I want to see if I can code it be exert mode. Thanks.

[@Domiricansobro]

Thic F30 hey I just got my BimmerCode app and it doesn’t show brake force display type any way you can help me get it?

[@waynefullard42]

Tried this with my 650i GC and it has brake force options but not he expert mode options you went thru in the video. Won’t work still, does anyone know how to access the brake force on these?

[@SupertecRacing]

Does this work on non LCI or cars with the earlier model rear lights?

[@twitch7771]

Yesterday I finally got my adapter in the mail and coded my car. Your video about Bimmercode is what pushed me to go for it so thanks!

[@ronniejanuszki]

It doesn't just look cool, it's much safer too. It usually just turns on the rear fog light when you hard brake for some reason, which REALLY doesn't catch your attention like rapid flashing does.

[@boostedbavarian]

Rear fog lights? 🧐

[@extraglutenplz3758]

@@boostedbavarian yes F30 US spec have rear LED's in the taillights but are not active, you can activate them in coding, check his other videos

[@komentatorius69]

It is for safety reasons. The bfd.

[@dailydriven991]

I was wondering why mine wasn’t flashing after the initial code. Went to the garage 2 min after I saw this and success. Expert mode ftw. Thanks!

[@w1nnin]

Once again thank you for the video. I did the first part last year n wondered y it didn’t flash. I appreciate you being straight forward n detailed. 🙌🙌🙌Continue to produce content.

I just got bimmercode. Keep these coming! Super helpful

[@TheWrenchLab]

With all the distracted drivers, this is a must! 👍

[@alananderson9072]

How are flashing brakes lights gonna matter if the other driver isn't paying attention?

[@BlitzSixx]

@@alananderson9072 Because a light that's flashing is more likely to catch their attention than one that lights up and stays on. Same reason your hazards blink, basically.

[@alananderson9072]

@@BlitzSixx i don't understand what you mean by catch their attention in this context...if the driver behind you isn't paying attention then why would it matter if the light is flashing or solid?

[@BlitzSixx]

@@alananderson9072 well "not paying attention" doesn't mean they're in a coma, just zoned out a bit or not focusing on the road. Think about it this way, if you're staring off in the distance you can still vaguely notice what happens in your periphery or 'corner of your eye'. Well if something starts flashing, you are more likely to notice and turn to look. Also like when a cop is pulled over with their lights on at night, you see it from wayyy back on the highway, because flashing bright lights stand out a lot from whatever else is around it. Same idea with BFD, if they are just tired unfocused, hopefully the flashing will alert them that something important is happening and they zone back in lol

[@alananderson9072]

@@BlitzSixx first of all by definition a distracted driver is engaging in some activity that takes his attention from the road. We're talking about using a phone or trying to calm down a pet in the car. So if you're checking on your kids in the back seat it doesn't matter if the brake lights are flashing or solid And I hate to break this to you but you see all lights from way back at night, because it's night. All lights stands out in the darkness you just know its the police because they are red and blue So again you moved the goalposts to tired and unfocused when we're talking about distracted drivers.

[@johnmcc4928]

Best demonstration so far, straight to the point 👏.

[@801russc]

Thanks Thic F30. The code below worked for me. Code For Brake Force Display FEM BODY ESS_AKTIVIERBARER_AUSGANG Change to bremslicht_blinkend Code For Outer Light Flashing REM 3062 MAPPING_BRAKEFORCED_L_OUTPUT change to bl Do the same for BRAKEFORCED_R_OUTPUT. Code for Flashing Rate REM 3064 LceConfiguration, 2B ESS BLINKFREQ 1 ESS BLINKFREQ 2 Change to 05 or other higher number

[@rkwan67]

Cool! Didn't know what brake force display meant before this video

[@ross6518]

Keep up the great work man. I love how you go into detail on on these small mods and coding because, just like the sequential blinkers, I hadn't even heard of this. Doing it soon. And I love how you are pumping out the content. Awesome channel man! I'll be grabbing some of your merch soon

You need the neon signs, lasers, and phosphorus flares codes because other drivers are playing with their phones, putting on makeup, eating a ham sandwich while on a conf call, and adjusting their Tesla's air conditioning rather than driving. Also, which menu are the anti-collision, defensive RPGs under?

[@ThicWhips]

Rpgs are in the MAM: main artillery module

[@SavageTurk14]

Just saved me from buying an adapter that makes the brake lights blink 😂

[@nofilter2091]

for the life of me I couldn't figure out how to do that. YOU ARE THE MAN!

[@pkedbysnow]

2 seconds after the video i went to my garage for this mod ❤

[@lisi2216]

Excellent video ... I own 2018 BMW 740i .... your video instruction is VERY helpful... please keep posting more videos so I can experience other features of my vehicle ... good job!

[@kerrviin]

I just wanted to say thank you for all your bimmercode videos. I just got my f30 a few days ago and successfully input 95% of the codes you posted on your channel.

[@ThicWhips]

🤙🏽

[@Cat-wz3du]

All European Spec BMWs have this as a stock feature but they are only activated when you do a full force brake and they flash faster

[@scottm2527]

You should increase the speed setting in FEM or else the flash doesn’t start until you slow to 5km/hr. You want it to flash at higher speeds also if you brake hard.

[@4089saad]

So unless the car slows down to 5km/h it won't work? Cus my break force lights don't come on

[@jamesh1195]

Did you guys figure this out?

[@komentatorius69]

You have to brake hard for this to work.

[@ewroldsen]

Awesome! Learn something new everyday 👍

[@paulthompson8055]

2016 M4 bimmercoding and everything was working fine except the actual option to turn BFD type on. I only have 2 selections in the BFD category instead of your 3. How do I work around this?

[@alexthurgood92]

Do the hazards still automatically turn on in emergency stops? I want to code this but I'm afraid it'll remove the default safety feature.

[@kshitijgoswami7873]

yes the hazards will still turn on automatically

[@up2me2b]

I have an F10 and the sports + is not on the safe mode. Do you know the steps under the Expert Mode? I will really appreciate it.

[@brunogiuffrida9070]

As of July 2020, Do you still need to go into Expert Mode to do the Brake Force flashing mod, or has Bimmercode made this simple on just the main page? Thanks for your time.

ThicF30 do you know what I need to do to get this to work on a 535 I get the 1st step but 2nd step is not there as Bimmercode don’t show rear module as a option

[@stickman1309]

Do u know if u can do this to just work for the middle light? Thanks and u just got a new sub👍🏻👍🏻

[@TheJamesavatar]

Its been a year did you receive an answer?

[@chasingthethrottle]

Instead of selecting L or R output just select “ MAPPING_BRAKEFORCED_M_OUTPUT” and select it to blink then leave the L an R at default setting . It will only blink for the middle light. Coded this for my F32 and it worked

[@huntermoe26]

So in order for lights to turn on do you need the abs to be engaged? So you'll literally see it pop up on the dash?

[@jsJamesbond6]

Lol I almost went and bought one of those sport light replacements

[@qwksti]

Good video thanks for all the tips I went in and tried all the same things you did the only differences in bimmercode I didn’t have an option for brake force flashing active or un active I’m not sure if that is a model specific thing but I have a 2018 M4 competition and I don’t I don’t seem to have that option. Any ideas?

[@Rondoo29]

Another dope video!

[@se2103]

Good video, from the “Hipster” 🤣

[@ThicWhips]

Thanks

[@DJRanoia]

Good idea still putting it on at the end also. I would say be aware of a cop is behind you and it blinks, they could pull you over for faulty brake lights aka reason to pull you over so be aware of this and brake car slowly if one shows up behind you.

[@larinoriani]

Lol

[@MatthewMaok]

nah no they won't. Otherwise they'd be pulling over Hyundais and Kias left and right that seem to do this from factory, could be aftermarket but I doubt those owners would be modifying to an extent like so.

[@depaolibio]

Cool! I found this video while looking for a way to adjust my actual braking power. BMW prioritize comfort and has this 'adaptive breaking' which prevents the brakes to be "too grabby", which really sucks. I spec'd the M440i with the 378mm discs from the factory and the i4.M50 (heavier car!) with standard Msport brakes (348mm) braked better. There must be a way to move such "adaptive" into a more "direct" braking (which is manually available to the driver in the M4). Would you know a way/tune/adjust that is done electronically (no hardware) to minimize electronic intervention of the braking response (i.e., makes braking power delivery more direct to pedal input)???! Thank you!!!
