Wanted to show you guys how to start coding any Color you may want onto a BMW G series. Did this on my 2021 BMW 330i.
Below are the websites you will need:
www.w3schools....
hextodecimal.co...
On the 3 series the bytes to change are below:
Bronze bytes:
18,19,20
23,24,25
28,29,30
Lilac bytes:
78,79, 80
83,84,85
88,89,90
Blue bytes:
48,49,50
53,54,55
58,59,60
Enjoy!

Great stuff! Where are you located? Do you do this for folks who don’t have the tech to do it themselves?

[@kristoferxavier3748]

You do not have to put your car into diagnostic mode to code with Bimmercode. Simply plug in the OBDII of your choice, connect from the app, and start changing options.

[@Nomadiacjoe]

Are you able o make it brighter than stock?

[@slobodang7886]

Thanks for posting this man. Been waiting on you to share this. I’ll try to code couple this week following your steps. What percentage did you do on that tint by the way? When I got mine couple months ago that was the first thing I did lol. Went with ceramic tint 35% and I like it. Didn’t wanted to be too dark but it definitely helps with the sunny days.

[@rearwheeled8147]

Thanks for watching, give it a try and let me know how it goes! As for the tint, I was going to go with 35% as well but when I went to the shop I made a last minute decision to go with 18% in the back and 50% (or 55%??) in the front. It’s illegal here in California to tint the front windows so tried to keep it less obvious. But overall it definitely helps keep the car cooler.

[@JoseMorales-po8gm]

Thank you for the video, I followed these instructions verbatim on a 2022 M8 Coupe and it didn’t work as described… EXACT same values to change “Bronze” to a “Red” and Lilac to a “Deeper Purple”. Now bronze looks no different, but WHITE is now RED and the B&W Speakers are WHITE even though they’re colored “RED” on iDrive. Lilac looks the Same. ANY color w/ White, the White is now RED. Any help or ideas??

Hello, I watched your video, unfortunately it does not fit my car, it has a BMW g05 X5 45E, it shows completely different numbers. Do you have access to a list of such codes, what and how to change them?

[@migdelta]

You don´t have to convert nothing. You have the hexadecinal value at the RGB calculator, right after the (#)

[@M2Killer]

Very nice video, isn't hard at all. So the middle row of each colour bytes is for the footwell? So you can make the combination of 2 colours.

Yes Exactly! Check out the Ambient lighting video I did before and it gives you step by step instructions to set up two colors.

Hey, could you tell me how can i code in bimmercode ambient light?? I don’t have full subtitles in ambient light options. Thanks !

[@kesavkumarmanimaran1104]

Noticed that you don’t actually need to use the converter since you can see the converted figures in w3schools website itself in #

[@rearwheeled8147]

On the Specific page of w3schools I was using in this video the numbers were not converted to hexadecimals yet. Just as an example 255 = the hex “FF.” You would not want type in 255 into Bimmercode because it’s not the correct hexadecimal. You may already know this, just want to clarify for anyone else reading the comments so there is no confusion.

have you had any luck figuring out how to change other colors like white

Yes, I listed the bytes for some other colors in the description of the video. White uses bytes 3,4,5, 8,9,10, 13,14,15 This is one I personally left alone because of the IDrives default color combos of orange/white, blue/white ,lilac/white ect. and didnt want to cause any issues with the color combos ive already coded.

So you can change the colors of any of the default options to whatever you want but sadly no one has figured out how to change the name of them in Idrive. So when i changed Bronze to equal Red, it still says bronze.

When you change the bytes i believe It does create a list of your custom changes called “unassigned values” or something along those lines.
