The Most ANNOYING Thing About F Series BMWs AND How to FIX IT (By Coding it with My Carly for BMW)

[@KiesMotorsports]

What's most annoying about your car???

[@ottomobili2575]

Everything creaks in my F30 😤 dash, seats, body panels. I’m this ✋🏼 🤚🏼 close to Flex Taping the whole car

[@rmiah91]

My indicators never work 😂 just kidding

[@tornado1598]

Everybody on the road hates you😀. But yeah that stop start thing driver me crazy too but I don't think I can get Carly in the uk😫

[@NorrisSabio]

Kies Motorsports when you get a car wash and even after they air dry your side mirrors there's still a little gap where water comes out and gets all over your doors.

[@jacobleishman8431]

Tornado 1 you can get it in the uk. Just download the app and within it will be a link to the adapter

[@Torvic003]

Agreed and this was the very first thing I took care of when I got my car a couple years back. That along with the seat belt chime, speedometer on the dash and the dvd player to work while driving (for the kids). Great Vid as always my dude.

[@kern417]

I had a long discussion with a guy on bimmerpost about why I don't think autostart is a that bad, and we realized one big difference between our cars. My car is a manual. It never hit me that every time you guys come to a stop when inching in traffic, coming to a stop sign, etc. it stops. In cars with manual transmissions, the car doesn't shut off until the clutch is released. So during my normal driving when inching in traffic with the clutch depressed, the car never stops. Or if I'm coming to a stop behind a line of cars but the light is green and I know I'm moving forward soon, I just keep the clutch depressed. Otherwise if I know I'm coming to a stop for a while, I just let the clutch out and the car turns itself off. That has no real effect on my driving experience and I'm not wasting gas. I guess you could think of the clutch pedal as sort of an aux autostart button in itself. So the real solution is buy one with a manual trans (:

[@ActionReaction..]

dunno why everyone is stressing about the start stop , there is literally a button in your car to disable or enable the start stop .....

[@jdguillen]

I did this mod right after I got my f30. But I had to stay and watch the whole thing because your production quality is insane. Props to the camera man, you stabilizing ninja!

[@tntcarlosthebest1]

Yeah but if you start the car and turn auto start/ stop off and you go To your memory seat with the auto start stop off and the cars and comfort mode you can press your memory seat to memorize and it will remember The AC and the auto stop when you get back in and obviously seat positioning and mirrors

[@Tobulas1]

I tought it same, but for me its not working

[@JackRR15]

It only works until 2014 model cars or something like that.

[@aihampaul9590]

Another way you can get rid off it is to turn it off once, and save the setting on your driver seats with one of the bottoms (1 or 2 bottoms) just like when you save the seat position. I have the 2015 335i f30, idk if this works on the older models, but it should. Try it.

[@KiesMotorsports]

I don't think that works on some of the older ones, but worth a try!

[@aihampaul9590]

Yeah I thought so too.

[@jigga594]

Worked on my 2013 F30 328i. It drove me crazy as well!! But overall, the car is a beauty as you mentioned.

[@kezboy1]

Works on my 2012 f30 335 👍

[@eXGaming4u]

It should work if you have the main key fob

[@aaronmiller9537]

But I just hit the button above the start button and voila! What is advantage of coding it out vs just clicking the button? It doesn’t turn back on, it stays off. The most annoying thing about my F30 N55 is the fact that they used plastic charge pipes. That’s annoying and an obvious upgrade cost. That and the seatbelt gong.

[@Slisktord]

On european models and apparently older us models this setting doesn't have a memory so it automatically enables start stop feature everytime you start your car so you have to press that damn button every time you start the car, instead of just coding it away once :)

[@KiesMotorsports]

Hey, sorry about the link issue! Try this: www.mycarly.com/us/trainer?ref=bryankiefer

[@dylanx13x92]

One of the more aesthetically pleasing things I coded is turning off the amber lights in the head lights. They only activate when I use my turn signal. Looks much cleaner this way. Also, any update on the Display Key retrofit? Still looking forward to that one.

[@jdguillen]

Can you share how you did this

[@mikeseidon7902]

That's awesome, I'm gonna get it for that reason alone

[@m3kidd]

Loving the new camera shots ;-). Quality is always improving.

[@black88lx]

Far from the most annoying for me lol. That would be the stupid pop up on the display I have to hit ok for every time I start the car. Which also can be coded off 😂.

[@DJRanoia]

I did this with mine it was great (remember last setting)... I was driving the LCI for 2 weeks while they worked on my car. The new LCI one actually remembers your last setting... it was funny how BMW listen to us and changed it.(they also made it less jerky in starting back up)

[@KimboDogg07]

Auto start worries me with concerns about improper shut down procedures for turbo charged vehicles..

[@Notascab1903]

Got lucky, the Indy shop I bought my F30 from had already coded this out. The mechanic explained to me that he did it when he bought the car new.

[@ibran]

My 2015 F56 MINI has the memory feature enabled by default. Coincidentally, I don't mind the Auto Start-Stop feature, at least with the manual gearbox - it really doesn't get in the way of normal driving with a stick-shift. As soon as you hit the clutch to shift out of neutral and into first, the engine spins right up. So, I keep it on most of the time. If I want to keep the engine running (like, the stoplight is going to change in 10 seconds…) I can just hold the clutch pedal down to temporarily disable the start-stop feature.

[@barrycarlson521]

So glad they took care of this issue with the B58 2016+ models, would have driven me nuts too

[@MD-xs6fx]

That is cool! I own both the 2009 750i and the 2008 528xi. Just bought the Carly. You did a great job with your Beemer. Any advice for mine?

[@bulletpain01]

Learned something recently. It isnt the starter that starts your car on auto stop. The cars ecu shuts all cylinders off and dumps one cylinder with more fuel and leaves it in the up position. When you take your foot off of the brake the car send voltage to that spark plug with the fuel ready position cylinder which ignites the fuel starting the other cylinders. I personally dont mind it

[@armandol1826]

What about the plastic window trim on all doors of the f30? My f30 has plastic, whereas your n55 has gloss or otherwise known as (Glanzschwarz)? Do you think you can make a video on the replacement from plastic to black gloss window trim?

[@tuncyucel7896]

I used both manual and auto with this feature(F20andF32) with manual it is the best thing it saves you fuel and when you are used to it you can engage and disengage it without coming to a complete stop. That said with auto it is a nightmare, countless times i was too late to drive away from a red light or to inch forwards in heavy traffic. Also both my cars were diesels and it is quite shaky to use. And last thing is, i believe it is designed for highway use not for heavy traffic i have met a couple of people who cracked flywheels with N47 diesels.

[@raulmartinez3484]

If you buy the full version of Bimmercode you can also turn of the Start-Stop.

[@amccann99]

Funny your just now doing this. It was the first thing I did. That and make my mirrors fold in/out when I lock/unlock my doors, adjust the LED halos, etc.

[@arunvijayaraghavan978]

Agreed with you Bryan..I disabled it via BimmerCode and Vcar pro. Another unrelated question - the headlight lens on my f30 seem to be cracked from inside..small microchips. What do you say is the best way to fix this issue?

[@GTR72]

Am I the only one that actually likes auto start stop lol. Please post more Carly videos! I have one but don't know all the features I can code to the f30!

[@cpad007]

I did the whole ESys and cable build to code mine. Fo Sho, this is much much easier but it isn't clear to me if you have access to everything like you do via ESys. So, the most annoying thing with my F30 and every BMW I've ever owned: why does the fan have to be ON every time I start the car? Next one: why does the fan go to MAX when I hit the front defrosters? I ALWAYS have to turn that shit down. It would also be nice if in the instrument cluster, it always comes up in the last state I left it. For example, I like to leave it in RANGE. I ALWAYS have to hit the stalk button a couple times to get it there every time I start the car. But, yeah, thankfully we can code out the annoying start/stop crap. :o) Otherwise, my F30 is AWESOME and these are just niggling little things that would be nice to adjust/fix.

[@bradleytaggart8618]

cpad007 esys allows for a deeper coding, bummercode and Carly can only change simpler things about the car where esys can change things like adding sport automatic transmission and you can also apply a whole coding cheat sheet with esys at once which is pretty sweet.

[@danedwards4984]

Agree 100 percent, cpad...

[@Aperiderbones]

My 2018 F80 auto start/stop feature stays off permanently once I set it to off.

[@Streamlined955]

Not being able to lift the windshield wipers is my biggest annoyance,.

[@jackmatt1022]

Turn on ignition turn it back off and hold youre wiperstick up

[@chrisbehm8752]

If you hit the button to turn the car on, but not to start it, then hit the button again to shut it off, then hold the wiper lever up about ten seconds, the wiper arms will go through one stroke up and down, then 1/2 stroke up, and stay there.... Then you are good to go on folding out the wipers!

[@petrosrz8990]

You can... it’s on the manual ...

I have a 2016 535i and this is how is on my car it will remember if it was on or off last time it was selected

[@Tonybagadonuts27]

My F10 M5 remembers the last way I had the auto start/stop. Before coding I had it off, and everytime I started it the car went back to the way I left it the last time I drove it. I coded it anyway later, but didnt have to.

Nice video! Like always only good words. Can you give us more video what CARLY do more? Intresting about all futures like: folding mirrors, performane display logo instal, sport + mode instalation ( because many F models don`t have this function ) and so many others.

[@KiesMotorsports]

Sure, we can do that :)

[@danadams797]

The easiest way to disable auto start/stop is to drive with the ZF automatic shift lever in sport position, i.e. to the left. You will be responsible for changing your own gears, and the engine will not shut off at stoplights unless you have it in Drive. I prefer to leave my auto start/stop activated, as it really does save a ton of fuel when I drive on major roads with long stoplights. Minutes pass, and while people around me are burning expensive fuel going nowhere, I'm not. Lift off the brake pedal and I'm ready to go again. When I'm decelerating to a right turn where I expect to yield but not stop, the first thing I do is to reach for that shift lever and bump it left. That will ensure that the engine won't cut out at a critical time when I'm trying to merge. I either upshift manually or set the lever back to the right once I'm going. Try it. You'll like it.

[@piere03]

Chris which you think is better for coding bimmercode or carly?

[@notgt3253]

Not really annoying, bc i made pressing the on/off thing right after turning on the car a habit.

[@canadianexposures]

Or... you could just flip it to SPORT or SPORT+ mode as it is disabled in those modes. Please don't tell me that the car is unsafe on the road in those modes... TC and DSC are still active (just tweaked) so it's not really a valid argument.

[@mcintosh.motors]

@@canadianexposures This. If you drive around in sport most of the time, then there really isn't a point to doing those. Only if you use the other modes on a daily basis AND want the auto stop to be turned off should you have to code it out, no point in doing so otherwise.

[@alexflores5241]

Hello Kies, I would like to know what is the difference between the Carly and Beemer code? Also which one is better and more affordable? Let me know as I’m looking to invest in one of these systems. Thanks.

[@MrZetor]

I actually think the auto stop/start is great! I just wish I could code it to work all the time (when the engine temp is at operating level, obviously). The manual says the function is disabled below 3'C, but I think the cut-off is at 4'C, which leaves me 7-8 months per year without auto stop/start. :(

[@chrisbehm8752]

I have a 2016 328D (F31?). My car already remembers the off setting for the stop engine when stopped in comfort and sport driving modes. BUT, in Economy mode, I cannot override the engine stop when stopped. Can CARLY reprogram that so I can leave the engine idling at stops? Thanks!

[@wcelton]

This must be something BMW corrected. My 2016 remembers how I left the auto start stop.

[@jpleveille]

2016 328 here and it remembers in comfort and sport mode; it doesn't in eco mode. For some reasons the techs like to turn it back on in all modes when I service the car...

[@chrisbehm8752]

My 2016 too, but I cannot defeat that feature in ECONOMY Mode and I would like to!

[@JDhillon24]

My 2014 remembers my auto start stop

[@andresreyes5398]

Jagdeep Dhillon did you buy it new could have been coded before you bought it? The first few model years didn't remember then bmw changed it they also allowed the service department to code 12-14 to remember the last setting

[@ibran]

Same, on my F56 MINI. Auto Start/Stop has the memory setting enabled.

[@BorisArtemyev]

I wish we could code the default drive mode - the car starts in Comfort, and I find it's more suitable to be in Sport (6-speed manual feels sluggish and unresponsive in Comfort). I wish there was a away to preserve the last setting as default like the auto stop/start - btw, on my 2014 F22 and other F and G series from that MY the auto stop/start defaults to the last used setting, so no need to code.

[@cpad007]

I did code mine to start in Eco Pro. I'm not sure if you can code it to start in Sport but I would think so.

[@Ratalala]

Carly vs BimmerCode + Bimmerlink, witch one to buy ?

[@Realpreshaanb]

The most annoying thing on the f30 i feel is the automatic aircon... Unlike the e90 if you have the climate control switched off from your last drive, and go to start it up again, it will remain off. Our F30 though, if its switched off from the previous drive, it will turn on everytime the car is started... But that could be my personal preference
