Mine have never automatically switched on either, would be a pain in slow moving traffic so I would not want it.

Does either app work for iDrive6?

Someone mentioned earlier in the thread that iCarly doesn't, anyone with Bimmercode used this on ID6?

Thanks!

I’m using bimmercode on id6 - all ok no issues.
Only thing I’ve noticed is the module to close the tailgate from the button under the dash on my f31 is missing from the latest software.
Stephan from bimmercode is aware and confirmed he’ll address it shortly fingers crossed.
That’s the only thing I’ve not been able to do so far.

Thanks for confirming, May take the plunge!

I know links have been provided before but could you let me know which adaptor you used?

Much appreciated!

Good guy. Responds to messages and concerns so tech support seems better than Carly to me.

I don't have it on slow mode but once it asked that I did, I ignored it and it all worked fine.

No you can do it via the idtive system.

Think it’s in the vehicle settings then units or simillar.

That’s how I changed my sport dials from kw to hp. Incidentally I coded them in using bimmercode as well being the tight arse I am only got the basic system- no nav etc.

I bought Bimmercode and Vgate icar2 and got trigger happy and installed Enhanced bluetooth and rolls royce gongs etc.

I was warned to be careful with Bimmercode vs E-sys, because problems can start to occur. The next day, my radio cut off. I looked at my screen and the screen was black with “no signal” in red writing. 5 secs later it it went back on like nothing at happened. And nothing has happened since then!! Now im starting the freak out as i stupidly didnt backup everything before coding.

Just a heads up for folk!

That's an idrive hardware fault - check for errors in the memory using BimmerLink.

I hope the car is under warranty!

So you think this was a faulty idrive rather than issues with Bimmercode?

Read you're comment just before clicking buy now for the adapter!

The developer does recommend to use the slow communication toggle option, no idea why but thought it best to go with his advice.

I’ve not had any issues at all, although it’s scary once you’ve done a few it’s really easy.

Yes absolutely. I had this issue on the 330e many months before any coding was done on it.

Get it in the dealership immediately - or tomorrow... and go for a good will.

There is no way something like that should fail.

Good luck.

Same. They put it down to iDrive overheating on mine. Bluetooth calls would cut out to start with and the screen freeze, when using nav it would reboot itself and, then it stopped booting. There was no coding at the time. Screen felt really hot like it was george foreman grilll... and you accidentally touched the hot plate.

I think quite a few of us have had the NO SIGNAL message and a reboot. I have seen it 3 times I think over the last 3.5 years, but haven't done anything about it as it happens so rarely.

I have only used Bimmercode in the last month, with no coding previously, and all 3 of my crashes were before that.

I had an issue with idrive shutting down. Didn’t get the red no signal though, just a blank screen.
BMW said it was a software issue causing idrive to overheat. A software update sorted it for me. Touch wood!

I've had Bimmercode a few days now and it's brilliant, managed to code all the things I want like ASS Off, Door handles lights on reverse, digital speed display, tyre temperatures, M Sport Displays etc

Has anyone played around with the acoustic alarm settings, like millisecond settings and frequency, they don't seem to be very different, I'd just like a low, fairly quiet tone

Also on the Active Sound Design Menu I only have two options, Not Active and Unknown Value, it gives me no options to have the M4, M235i or any other car options sound like some describe, has the 440i F36 not got the sound symposer fitted maybe?
