BimmerLink recommends using an OBDLink CX Bluetooth Adapter. Buy Yours Here: amzn.to/3PC3uIE

[@KurumaDesigns]

Great video as always, I’ve had bimmercode and bimmerlink for years, love it!

[@BikeLife1]

Weird that this video just showed up cause i just impulse bought it yesterday from an ad while doing some stuff with bimmercode haha. Appreciate the steady stream of info thanks again man. Was surprised to see all the capabilities of bimmerlink like resetting service etc Amazing tool worth every cent especially if you already have an obd enet... buy this!

[@jjlad5037]

Thank you for the most professional and thoughtful BL review on the Interwebs. I'm just about to purchase a BL for my BMW, and your vid is by far the best on YT on the subject. Good job!

[@f32440i]

Thank you this is really helpful 👍

[@davec5237]

Thanks for info kern. 👍

[@brandy498]

Hey kern, thanks for your videos they help us B58 guys a lot. Having a serious issue with my M240i atm and I'm wondering if you have any knowledge of it. It cut out completely whilst i was driving yesterday and wouldnt start back up. As i was pulling over i got a few random errors, like the bonnet being open and abs failure iirc. I now have no ignition and can't even jump start the car so I'm wondering if this is a ecu/dme issue? It's almost like my battery has become disconnected, but the weird thing is my rear lights stayed on and so did my rear plate lights. Can't access the boot to check the battery now as it's locked without any power to unlock it? Thanks for any help man Edit - car is also mapped stage 2 with MHD and cant scan for codes via the obd without power

[@kern417]

You can email or dm me the codes you're having

[@daviddorado5632]

Is there a way to make it go directly to dashboard when startup?

Hi can this scanner register a new battery on my E60 2.5 i OBD2

[@matauzi1765]

I’ve just downloaded BimmerLink today and for some weird reason it doesn’t have the mhd universal adapter option just orange and black and none of them work 🤦🏾‍♂️

[@kurtwm2010]

I tried my CX today for the first time. My menus look different and have not been able to find my way to "service reset".

[@azerty1604]

Hi kern, got à problem today with my m140i Just flash it with mhd stg 2+ in multimap with dorsh zeitronic ethanol kit In full boost, approx 520hp the car close the throttle at 3500rpm due to the torque limiter. I saw that on the log. Send a msg to mhd and they told me that my clutch was sliding Problème is that i just change it, less than 2000kms and its a luk 550i. Do u have or had any issue with the clutch? I have oem turbo so i dont understand...

[@kern417]

Throttle closing is a tune issue. If boost or load goes over target the the throttle will close. I have no issues with my 550i clutch

[@frost-zl5gm]

Are you gonna make a video on the new bm3 update

[@kern417]

yes

[@davejones3434]

Bimmerlink web site shows it is not compatible with my ‘24 X7. Anyone know if it actually works with my car?

[@FTCHub-EpicVault]

Can you reset SRS airbag faults (once the fault is fixed) with bimmerlink

[@kern417]

I don't think so but i haven't tried

[@davidholder2294]

Coding is used through bimmer code

[@softwere]

Can this app measure the transmission oil temperature, more specifically when you are doing transmission drain and fill service?

[@kern417]

Yes

[@softwere]

@@kern417 thank you

[@kubeszek]

Does every b58 F30 have fake engine noise coming from speakers or only with specific package? (like mppsk)

[@kern417]

Yea all do.

[@bmw440mppsk6]

(Europe) MPPSK kits have ASD disabled. I have one.

[@billnardo1554]

Purchased Bimmerlink and MHD adapter. Cannot get app to connect. What connection should I be using. MHD black or MHD orange?

[@kern417]

If you have an f30, mhd black/universal

[@marc_iv.]

I have BimmerLink, but I have never seen the Short Circuit Lock option in the main menu. Any suggestions on pulling that up?

[@kern417]

Try reconnecting. Sometimes it doesn't pull up everything the first time for me

[@marc_iv.]

Do you think a Bluetooth adapter might not show all the options like a wifi adapter would?

[@kern417]

@@marc_iv. That's a definite possibility. A Wi-Fi adapter will have a more reliable connection but really both should work.

[@Matt_C_N]

Do you know why MHD and Bimmerlink show different errors? I have a permanent error in Bimmerlink (DSC) but not in MHD after using the MHD Bench unlocker. Nothing seems amiss and drives fine.

[@kern417]

bimmerlink is more thorough. it can scan the entire car and all the modules. i think mhd also ignores some errors that may come from tuning/coding but aren't really an issue.

[@slyfoot0605]

Will BM3 do everything that this does

[@kern417]

No

[@nissy4]

Can we use the logg worh mhd when you dont heb the logg licinse from mhd is that the same?

[@kern417]

it's similar but won't be as thorough and intuitive as MHD

[@nissy4]

@@kern417 i run stage 1 ron 98 i think its a pretty safe map just like it.

[@christophermata8142]

Can I program my injectors with bimmer link ?..

[@kern417]

I didn't see it as an option on my car but if you have a b58 then coding isn't needed. It might be available for other cars though

[@Luiseo1]

My 2017 440i also says oil service reset impossible so i tried Bimmerlink and oil service doesnt show up at all on it, no option for it. Anyone know how I can reset my oil reset. Also anyone know if a past due brake fluid sevice trigger an check engine light? Just had one pop up and cant figure it out.

[@kern417]

Do you have automatic time set in your iDrive settings

[@Luiseo1]

@@kern417 I do not see that as an option for. Under "settings" - "time" I only get the (time, date, and format. 12/24 hr - yyyy,dd,mm etc). To add to my issues I just got an engine light now with a 12B304 code and coolant bleeding through my Bleeder screw. Have a video on how to replace the expansion tank?! ha!

[@kern417]

There should be a checkbox at the top that allows automatic time set. It sounds like you need an O2 sensor.

[@Luiseo1]

@kern417 Just got an engine light with code 12b304. ( I believe that is O2 sensor) It's like you scanned my car with your mind.

[@AGM240i]

If you choose flaps open. Do i need to click it every time when i start the car? Or it will be still open if i turn the car off ?

[@rantalaathome]

you need to select open every time you wake up your car.

[@AGM240i]

It should stay open

Can you register a new battery with bimmercode?

[@DrDre001]

no but u can code the type of battery (size i believe)

[@kern417]

Register battery = bimmerlink Code different size battery = Bimmercode

[@Dapol1988]

i got the problem that my car automatically breaks by itself when i reach 305km/h and im just in the 7th gear and it would go faster. do you know which values i should add to monitor to point out why its breaking automatically? i assume a coding failure in the stage 1 i got and want to let it fix.

[@kern417]

that needs to be changed in your tune to remove the speed limiter

[@Dapol1988]

@@kern417 it was removed. and it should stay at 305 and not breaking. thats why i want make an analyzis why it breaks.

[@kern417]

@@Dapol1988 it's a limiter. Very common occurrence. Google 305kmh limiter.

[@Dapol1988]

@@kern417 yes,but limiter says limit and it should stay at 305 and not breaking. but thanks for reply.

[@pstrokeslibsarctic]

Maybe it braked because the actual physical speed is a little bit over 305kph?

[@Tupeutla]

mhhh ... i bought bimmer link long time ago when I owned the X3M35i .. it was on Android then bought my X4M40i whos only apple car so bought an iphone ... but I need to buy a bimmerlink for iphone ???? no way , did they change there policies or not also the ODB of the car have a sensor with alarm when rogue ODB dongles are connected , so I cannot keep it on the car but to disable the ODB alarm , you need bimmer code ! so you need bimmer code to be able to use bimmer link ???? WTF

[@ooopppiiiuuummm]

step 1: dont get X4M40i

[@kern417]

Unfortunately they can't be saved across platforms. So if you bought in the android play store then you'll also need to buy in the apple store

[@the_batmobile0.4]

No video till now on our weak ass gen1 driveshaft lol

[@kern417]

Gotta be a conspiracy

[@la.m240i6]

I've switched over from Bimmercode + Bimmerlink to just Bimmergeeks protool
