How to code your Mini Cooper with Bimmercode

[@motorv8N]

Thanks for the walk through. My ‘21 SE electric has the most annoying series of bings and bongs when you power up. I’m hoping this app can silence or at least shorten that series of tones…

[@MiniBrothas]

Thanks for your comment! I don't have any experience with the SE. I'm curious if you can turn some of those bings and bongs off!

[@mscappa]

Thanks! I was looking for that warning message!

[@MiniBrothas]

Thanks for your comment. Glad we could help!

Love the videos my friend

Great video! Super helpful! Can I ask what is the reason the mirrors of my mini fail to fold/unfold after I locked and unlocked my car(after following your instructions)? Mine is 2019 mini copper s. Thank you!

[@MiniBrothas]

Thanks for the question. I'm not sure actually. Are you sure your mirrors have the ability to fold? I don't think all Minis have folding mirrors.

[@diogobastos2866]

@@MiniBrothas how do i know mine have folding capacity?

[@OkayJose]

​@@diogobastos2866There's a button on the left from the mirror adjustment from your door. If there aren't 2 buttons then you don't have power folding mirrors

Can you activate rear fog light switch with that app

[@MiniBrothas]

Yes, you should be able to. You might need to use “expert mode”, so be very careful.

[@hagoplabachian9001]

can i code to turn of error message for drl fog lights after installing aftermarket led fog lights?

[@MiniBrothas]

Thanks for your question. I'm sure you can. I don't know the coding instructions to do that, but I know there is a way to code in led fog lights that should turn the error messages off.

[@willyhenschel3707]

Did you have to buy the full version to be able to finish coding? Thx. W

[@MiniBrothas]

Thanks for your question. Yes, I bought the full version.

[@michaelgriffith6410]

Do u need an alarm system for the unlock sound to code?

[@MiniBrothas]

Thanks for your comment. You don't! I'm not quite sure where the sound is coming from though.

[@qvisionstudios]

Thanks for the walk through. Do you know if the coding can be set to different driver profiles for different preferences? Just bought a 2017 F55. My wife will be the daily driver, but I'd like different settings if I want to use it.

[@MiniBrothas]

Thanks for the question. AFAIK, you don't have the ability to code different driver settings on the mini. I know somewhere in the Head Unit, there is a "driver profile" under settings, but I'm not sure how much customization it has. I've never used it. If you find something interesting there, please let me know.

[@michaelgriffith6410]

Whys it say do not pair with veepeak on amazon for the item??

[@winghuatlooi]

I have a Mini Cooper F55 year 2014 possible use coding to auto on day light when engine start?

[@MiniBrothas]

Thanks for your comment. I would imagine you could do that. I’m not sure what the setting for that would be though.

[@technologyreviews3620]

I have a question. I swapped the nav unit in a mini year 2013 because the old Nav would not work. I ran an update using im608 pro from Autel. Looked like it coded all the modules in with latest software only the nav unit still doesnt work. The display works, and the radio works etc etc. The nav unit doesnt show maps though. I believe I have to extract the FSC codes from the old nav unit and write them into this unit. Does anyone know how to do this?

[@MiniBrothas]

I don’t know much about the R-series Mini electronics, so I’m not really able to help you here. I hope you find the answers though.

[@technologyreviews3620]

@@MiniBrothas thanks anyway. You just reminded me of a question I have and need to direct it at my mate in New York. He'll know the answer. Basically I need to know how a unit stores data. Do all units use eprom and if they do, then I just open it. Find the eprom chip and extract the data then write it to the other eprom chip.

Hello how should I code sport transmission on Bimmercode

[@MiniBrothas]

Thanks for you question. Unfortunately, I don't think you can code your transmission with Bimmercode. I have a manual transmission, so I wouldn't know if there is something you can do with an automatic transmission.

[@thineshkingthina9731]

did you paid for the apps as well like full version ? becz my one ask me to by full version around 60 USD

[@MiniBrothas]

Thanks for that question. Yes, we paid for the full version.

[@ericcarlson9200]

I keep getting a connection error message. Any ideas on ways to fix that?

[@MiniBrothas]

Thanks for your question. Sometimes that happens to me and I plug out the OBD-II connector and plug it back in. That usually helps. If that doesn't work, you may need a different connector.

Hi, any idea if you can code the car into sport mode using bimmercode if you don’t have the sport mode button because it’s not an optional extra I have on my car? Thanks :)

[@MiniBrothas]

Thanks for the comment. My understanding is if you don't have the sport mode button, then you can't.

[@goldfinger3114]

@@MiniBrothas ah ok yeah that makes sense, thanks for getting back! Good video :)

[@adamkonrath919]

This can be done. You need to to activate it in the normal view and then enable expert mode and make a few more changes.

[@nathanhockey4566]

⁠@@adamkonrath919do you know the exact changes? I saw some online for a 2018 I think, I’ve got a 2022 f60 1.5L and I’m not sure if it would be the same coding as I found.

[@adamkonrath919]

@@nathanhockey4566 if you’ve got an f54/55/56 it’ll be the same. The only difference would be the switch required as it changed around 2015/16 I think from around the gear knob to a switch on the centre column. The switches are cheap as chips on eBay. Install is fairly straightforward. Then grab esys and add 4VA as a VO code - code to all ecus. Then you can add some tweaks via BimmerCode.

What year Mini do you have? I don't see the "headunit" option for my 2019 Cooper S...

[@MiniBrothas]

Thanks for you question. Mine is a 2016.
