Android now has expert mode but it's broken for me, clicking on a module crashes the app. Anyone else have this?

Set “Comfort opening with key fob” to Active. It’s in the same FEM module. You may also have to keep the “Unfold mirrors when unlocking vehicle with Comfort Access” set to Active, even if you do not have Comfort Access.

I have taken the plunge to buy the "Vgate iCar 2 Mini Wifi Function ELM327 iCar2 OBDII OBD ELM 327 Diagnostic Scan Tool for iOS iPhone iPad Android" along with the bimmercode app.
So far it works very well but the main reason I bought it was to code my 328D to auto fold in mirrors when I lock the door with the key fob. When I first tried to activate the "fold mirrors while locking vehicle on comfort access", nothing happened. I contacted the developer and after a little troubleshooting we found out that you need to have "fold mirrors while locking vehicle on comfort access" ALSO you have to have "comfort closing with key fob" active as well. Then it worked. (Have to hold the lock button on the fob down for a couple seconds for it to fold in the mirrors) I also asked him if he would be putting descriptions on some of the non-obvious coding options for novice coders such as myself and he said he will be soon. Just thought I'd share for the people that may come across this forum and in the same situation I was. |

But I think to press lock/unlock on the key fob and have the mirrors fold/unfold should be standard or at least a menu option. Quote:
Overall BimmerCode is much cleaner and simplistic with good design that works while Carly has extras diagnostic features and helpful descriptions for a complete novice to understand. Not quite as slick as BimmerCode's interface though and a bit pricey. |

Hey all, new first time bimmer owner here, posting for the first time. So please bear with me if I am in the wrong post and steer me straight if I am. I've read countless forums/posts before responding here, hoping to not ask stupid questions. Several questions though but hope not to be an imposition. Just want to get my new toy set-up comfortably.
- Bimmercode vs. Carly - seems like Bimmercode is more affordable and as far as coding does just as much (seems like Carly will charge for each function once you are in Pro mode?) - am I missing something or just go with Bimmercode? - Seems many people experience though that Bimmercode may time-out and disconnect. This sounds bad during coding, has anyone fool proofed it and if so what is the secret? - Main things I am interested in, and seems Bimmercode can do them all, but please correct me if I am wrong: *Turn off Legal Disclaimers *Use FOB (and under dash button) to close rear hatch (I'm in a F36) *Auto fold mirrors on locking with FOB (I do not have Comfort Access) *Auto open mirrors on unlocking with FOB *M Logo on screen at start-up *Auto clock set (how stupid is it this is not standard?) *Unlock all doors when engine is turned off (would be better if they unlocked when driver door opened, but I can survive) *Turn off ASD Then the one that I am getting mixed messages if can even be done with Bimmercode: *Enable Enhanced Bluetooth/Office Now that last one I should clarify. Right now, I am able to stream bluetooth music, and can use Siri from the steering controls, etc....I could care less about "reading" texts and emails, that's not safe. But what I want is for some type of SMS or text signal to "ding" or show an envelope onscreen so I know if I get a new text while driving. Then it's as simple as asking Siri from the steering wheel to "read text". Do I need to enable all of Enhanced Bluetooth to get this feature or is there a shortcut? P.S. would be awesome if the default "speech volume" of Siri could be set higher too, everytime I restart the car it is incredibly low, but I'm not seeing a setting for that in any coding...is it there? Thanks all! |

Update:
I grew impatient and was concerned something went wrong during maintenance (not seeing some of the ECU's at all) and purchased Carly. Carly found all ECUs and was able to code everything with no issues. I'm sure it's just a matter of BimmerCode dev updating their app for compatibility. In the mean time, if you get any significant service/updates done, any Nov updates appear to break some ECU codings in BimmerCode for now. |

Unless you code for a long period of time......the battery will not drop voltage that fast.
