My Top 5 Favorite E92/E90 Coding Options (+ How To Install Them!)

[@GoWstingray]

Hi Mr Barn, thanks for the video showing options, recently got the software installed and a K+DCAN cable, one thing I found helpful being a newbie was using NCS Dummy to manipulate the trace file as it translates the options into meaningful English, I know you have to select the correct firmware for you module but that’s easy to get. One option people might want to turn on if turning on the digital speedo, is either true speed or the corrected speed so it matches the analog dial, you might not of seen this using notepad if your only looking for a specific option. Also not sure if it’s there for everyone as my car is a LCI. Thanks again, I’m eager to explore more options and want to add the Professional radio option to my vehicle so hunting for the procedure and codes to add.

[@OURBENEFACT0RS]

On my car the speedo correction option was already set to "aktiv" for both the digital and analog gauges, even when the digital gauge was disabled. So, unless this was messed with previously (unlikely!), you shouldn't need to change anything besides the one setting to enable the digital readout.

[@Nico_335i_DCT]

Very nice Chris. I did these, plus enabled gong when opening the door with key in dash. And coded folding the mirrors on Fob and CA too. And probably I'm coding out the mirror auto dim. They are too dark too see enough when passing at the high way. Dutch regards, Nico.

[@TheBimmerBarn]

Good choices! I like the gong with door open because I'm always locking myself out of my cars lol

[@verreari]

Hej Nico_e39_335i_DCT , Mike here (IJmuiden), today we tried coding my E92 but it failed all together in coding any option at all ... you got any ideas?

[@Nico_335i_DCT]

@@verreari Hi Mike. Maybe you use the wrong cable. a lot cheap Chinese obd cables do not work. And I use the Bimmergeeks BMW tools. I had some problems because of a weak old battery when I started coding. After changing the battery(90Ah agm)and a strong better charger I had no coding problems at all. Cheers Nico.

[@OURBENEFACT0RS]

@@verreari Did you open INPA to make sure the cable was connected correctly? If not, you might need to set the COM port and latency in device manager. There are other videos about how to configure a K/DCAN cable for use on a windows machine, look for those instructions.

[@OURBENEFACT0RS]

Great video! On my vehicle (2006 325xi with FRM1 aka FRM) the option to keep the windows rolling up is named just TUERAUF_STOP_MAUT (not FH_TUERAUF_STOP_MAUT_3R) , so it looks like the naming was changed slightly between FRM versions.

[@isrealperez9069]

On my last one was how do I program the key fob while it's on me and I can push start the car like it was a remote start

[@cupompa]

Can you do a video on TPMS Disable feature?

[@isrealperez9069]

Where do I buy the program and what Windows operating system do I need to make it work

Are you able to do this all with BimmerCode? I did the adaptive headlight with the same tool u have and a pc but what Im wondering is am I able to get the adaptive lights back on without error on gage? I want to replace the day time running lights with the adaptive halo lights and I noticed you can do that with bimmercode. I just don't want the error to be displayed if I do this

[@rayray3009]

A popular re code in Wisconsin is to 'euro-tune' and remove the cats for a few extra HP. Have you every tried this mod? or do you guys have to pass emissions?

[@TheBimmerBarn]

This car has "performance" downpipes currently, but no tune yet.

[@chrisr3908]

Hi mate I have a cornering light fault that I have been unable to code out. Can you tell me which module or modules I need to change. My car is a e90. Thanks

[@samyb2834]

Hey Chris, I have a question regarding my E90. I'm trying to make this car as reliable as possible. I have changed: the coolant flange with a metal one, the radiator, the upper radiator hose, the water pump and thermostat and oil filter gaskets. Anything else I should change in your opinion? Thank you,

[@TheBimmerBarn]

That sounds like all the common stuff! There's tons of stuff you could do preventatively, but I'd recommend starting on the stuff that looks oldest/original. Low pressure fuel pump failures are common, oil pan gasket, and engine sensors will fail all the time too! But to save your wallet, try to just address things one at a time lol :)

[@samyb2834]

@@TheBimmerBarn Thank you Chris, very kind of you.

[@HectorHernandez-ni6zd]

I'm going to be installing the factory alarm system in my 2007 E90. (pre-wired) How can I code in the alarm to activate it?

[@dakibmw]

Honest question: why would you disable adaptive lights (as in why e9x crowd like to do that, what are the advantages)?

[@DrongM]

because after some time, just short time after you though you won´t need it, your adaptive headlights will stop working properly due to some micro corrosion or other unidentified failure. And you will realize that benefits are not worth of money and time to fix it.

[@xr500t]

In my case, I changed to aftermarket lights.

[@HazyTrails]

@@DrongM Yup I'm at that point right now 😂

I installed Fan cooling Ecu in e90 N46n. It only works once at startup. Do I need to code it?

[@isrealperez9069]

I would like to know what kind of operating system can I use this program with I have Windows 7 on one of my little computers when I used to have BMW 1.4 scanner now because I have upgraded to an E90 I want to know more about this cuz I too have that adaptive headlights but my headlights are LCI

[@tonyher6]

Hey Chris , i have a active steering malfunction and the light on my dash and I’m wondering how to fix that .

[@OURBENEFACT0RS]

Steps to reset steering warning (this often shows up after disconnecting the battery). 1. Start the car (engine on). 2. Turn the wheel all the way left, then all the way right. 3. Thanks BMW, your steering error is gone. Doing this procedure calibrates something and makes this error go away in most cases. If it doesn't go away after doing this there could be an actual hardware issue.

[@woog74]

My adaptive headlight was out completely on my E92 coupe. I fixed the light, but only the halo, and parking light light up, the lights themselves still will not turn on. If I plug it into the other plug, the light works fine. Will coding out my FRM make the light work again?

[@TheBimmerBarn]

You need to do a short circuit reset on the FRM to make that circuit power on again. Something you can do in ISTA or other dealer tools.

[@woog74]

[@islandjeeps921]

You could do a lot and more of this stuff with Carly...

[@TheBimmerBarn]

That's right, but I'm a little old school and this method is basically free if you already have the cable, and you don't have to pay for a subscription! The Carly adapter is great though, maybe next time you can lend me yours :)

[@DanielScariti]

Carly is more expensive and not might not have as much customization

[@OURBENEFACT0RS]

Carly is really expensive for what it is; It doesn't do more than a windows computer + K/DCAN cable. The main (and arguably only) benefit is that it requires less setup and research. It is a fancy UI for people who are not computer savvy and will pay their way out of it.

[@TheFrenchPug]

You can't remove the Adaptive Headlight Error with Carly. But you can do those other codes.

[@Random.Adventures.]

hi can i code these with my car engine on?

[@TheBimmerBarn]

No, you're not supposed to.

can you re-calibrate !?

[@TheBimmerBarn]

re-calibrate what?

[@markt9438]

@@TheBimmerBarn okay you can investigate codes you can turn codes off you can adjust certain trim items but recalibrating software issues like for instance brake calipers that are worn they can be recalibrated by software properly to bring them down to a hard pedal stuff like that That's what I'm talking about

[@OURBENEFACT0RS]

​@@markt9438 No such thing on this car. They have a normal hydraulic system. The ECU doesn't affect anything braking feel in this car (ABS notwithstanding). If your pedal is feeling soft you might just need a brake fluid flush, not uncommon for moisture buildup to happen after a few years.

hello I hope if you can help me with the Aux coding it disappeared from the radio

If you already had the option fitted, and the aux option is gone, you may have a bad mulf module, or aux connector. Good luck!

I'll probably show how to use that in a different video, maybe on my e39. Definitely does help view all your possible options, and makes the coding process a little different 👌

I understand you may not dameged anything yet, but how you can charging batery right to battery and the car? That is like almost first not to do instruction, if you learning about how to work on your bmw without damaging it even more. Is there reason, why you doing it? Its just so unprofessional, i dont what watch more, just because this mistake.

[@RicBergstrom]

Are you saying not to connect a charger to a battery directly? The battery doesn't care. The hydrogen it can put off MAY ignite but you aren't going to hurt a car attaching a charger to a battery or a charging post.

[@rastik5452]

@@RicBergstrom Battery doesnt care, thats true, but theres a thousand of warning of doing this, because you overvoltage the whole car. At least one big reason for all.. if you can charge your baterry conected to the car from trunk, why the fuck would bmw put the "charging points" to the engine bay? Just.. go and read some examples what can happend... i woud never do this...
