How to code your BMW with Bimmercode (top 5 features)

[@kennethh2430]

Regarding the Sport Transmission, you're able to enable Launch Control by going into the Advanced Mode within that section...for those without Paddle Shifters/Sport+. The feature is still there, just disabled, dormant and waiting to be lit up!

Nice, picked up a X4 which the previous owner speced nicely so deffo looking to buy bimmercode soon. So shocked that folding mirrors when closing isnt active from factory 🙄 or cant set it up through the Idrive.

[@MisterCee41510]

@@TheoFennel I went with an X3, absolutely love it. Get bimmercode dude worth every penny. Along with the folding mirrors you should look into remote closing tailgate and activating the sports suspension.

[@TheoFennel]

@@MisterCee41510 so I have comfort access and if I long press on the key fob it'll fold the mirrors which is a longer process than a single press to close and fold mirrors. Also I can open and close tailgate from the key fob with a long press. I have Adaptive Suspension so hopefully bimmercode can let me play around with that.

[@morbus74]

Also one quick way to shut off the idrive is press the start/stop button one more time, after you turn off the car...and obviously without pushing the brake pedal..

[@theCarNoob]

I just kept forgetting lol

[@mohamedkermali1519]

Great video, thank you. I just received my 5.1 OBDLink2 CX and will start to customize my F30. Besides the app and the tool, what other things i need to do before i start coding. Engine off/on, telephone in airplane mode, etc ?

There's a lot of stuff you can do, just explore and do all the ones you think will be useful to you!

great video, can anyone code the clusters instrument light to be on during the day F15 X5 2017 is kind of dark during the day any ideas?

[@theCarNoob]

It doesn’t look like there’s anything in Bimmercode about that for the X7. Did you try the iDrive settings for brightness etc? If it’s bright out, most systems will appear dark. Thank you for watching! Cheers

Hi After Bimmercode app coeding bmw f30 i got an error message with negative 260 tkm "inspection check' with 2004 year, car is 2013/14!

[@theCarNoob]

There is a list of adapters in bimmercode app, I can’t say if those are cheaper or not. Check my latest video, I’ll be doing a giveaway, vote for obdII 2 with bimmercode, maybe you get lucky!

[@hfoliveira1]

hi i have a question. in the video at 6:25 you explain about opening and closing the car windows by the control. I did exactly as shown in the video and my f36 bimmer does not open or close the front passenger window. I already checked the fuse and they are ok. do you have any idea what i can do to make the window work? thank you and very top your video.

[@theCarNoob]

Hello! I have a feeling your front passenger window may have stopped working and you may need to replace? I’ve never had to replace that on my bmw yet :(

[@TronoFruitSlots]

Hi very informative video thanks. Just a we question I coded mine and the gong volume is very low. I’ve tried setting it a bit louder with the volume button on the stereo and in the main I drive settings but when I get out of the car lock it and get in again it resets very low again. Would u know of hand how I could possibly fix change the setting so it stays at a slightly louder volume? Thanks in advance 👌🏻

[@theCarNoob]

There’s a setting called “Max volume at startup”, that’s the one you want

[@goprosandseadoos2213]

Great Video !! After some coding today my real time MPG display was all over the place. I was using bimmercode to do simple stuff like mirrors fold when locked etc. If you have ever seen this or know how to fix it please let me know !

[@theCarNoob]

Dang man I've never seen that, I think Bimmercode automatically keeps a backup of your previous coding status so you could probably revert and isolate which setting made it do that. It's hard if you changed a bunch of stuff to know what broke it

[@quan4011]

Have you fixed it? Thanks

[@zannatenayem2143]

on 7:50 how did you do that blink on your led? is it done by Bimmercode? Please help me. i really want to do this

[@theCarNoob]

It’s because of camera, when your shutter speed is too different from the LED refresh rate (50-60hz), the flickering happens. Sadly, it looks normal in real life, only flickers on camera.

[@ozkancalskan2648]

Is it necessary to upgrade to the pro version or can these operations be done in the normal version ? (bimmercode)

[@theCarNoob]

You will have to upgrade for these features

[@giovanni616]

What’s the pro version?

[@Laur3atu]

To Stop the idrive press start button again after stop the engine, with your foot off the brake pedal.

[@I.g.u.s]

I have the same model as you, have experienced any issue with the hatch not opening when you press the button or wave your foot under the trunk? Sometimes it’s fine and other times it’s not. I’ll have to use the button on the outside for it to raise automatically sometimes.

[@theCarNoob]

Sometimes it’s because your car keeps your doors locked until you manually unlock them, it’s happened to me too, idk what else could cause it

[@theCarNoob]

You can’t, but what you can do is what I did, set it so that opening the door after the engine is turned off will turn off the battery. So you press button once -> engine shuts off. When you open the door to leave, everything else also shuts off

For whatever reason I kind of like how the music keeps playing even if you turn the car off. If you're getting groceries out or whatever it's nice to still jam until you leave the car fully

[@theCarNoob]

That’s a fair point, but it won’t turn off until you open the door when the car is shut off. So you could simply, open your door and then shut off the car and it will keep playing even if you code to shut off iDrive.

So wats wrong with having ur music play as u get out of ur car.? I love it , why ru being quiet for? Make an entrance

Muhammad Demis I was able to code with the engine on, none of the coding options are related to the engine so it won’t hurt to have it on. Once you begin coding, your engine will shut off and the ECU will simply restart. It’s a bit different than the bootmod3 etc, you shouldn’t need a trickle charger for Bimmercode!
