Mine now reads 1MPH higher than actual speed. Which is fine for me.
since i activate the digital speed the consumptions are really low, is anything related?

Anyway two of the best things I coded: drivers Easy Seat Entry, and radio off on door opening.
Just a test....

Thank you, Bimmercode! Coding (dummy level) really helped to amp up my driving experience.

Most thankful:
1. Disabling the warning disclaimer.
2. Disabling Auto Stop/Start. In DC, there is so much stop and go traffic that this function became maddening.
3. Starting in ECO Mode. I don't mind being overtaken by a Corolla S at the line. And, premium gas pricing just eats into your budget.
4. Having the radio shut down once you turn off the ignition and then open the door (in that order). Prior to coding, I was always paranoid that the engine was still running, so I would keep hitting the Start/Stop button and just lose track of where I was. BTW, I say "in that order" because I notice that when this is coded … if you open the door first (which is what I do) before you hit the Start/Stop button, the radio continues to play (just as if it wasn't coded).

Things that did not work for me (2014 pre-lci 335i sedan).
a) M// Sign would not code successfully.
b) Sport Display does not work with my vehicle.
c) When unlocking the car, I wanted to change the setting to 3 light blinks. Right now, it blinks twice and the car chirps twice in synch. I thought that by changing to 3 blinks, the car would also chirp thrice (helps when you are in a vast parking lot). But, the car only chirps twice. So I reset it back to its original setting.
d) With two kids that just graduated from their booster seats, I coded for the backseat seatbelt chimes to enable. But, that also doesn't seem to work in my car.

Coding Wishes:
1. Coding an inflatable co-pilot (a la Airplane) to allow me to get on the HOV lane.
2. Coding the rear speakers to say "Shhhh!" when my kids start to raise their voices (above 85 db) arguing with each other.
3. Coding my OEM 6.5" screen to be able to take out the "stretch" when upgrading to a higher-size screen (which is why I've decided to stay with the 6.5").

Is there a forum thread where we express our realistic coding wishes to Bimmercode? It could be coding ideas yet to be introduced or suggestions that would bring Expert Mode items up to the Dummy Level. That would be a great read!

To see what is possible look at the E-Sys cheat sheet. If it's not there it probably can't be done.

Did this yesterday and found I also had to code in a 4 place to make it active! Works a treat now and love it, should help prolong the life of the leather on the side of the seats as well!!!

Yes increasing the blinks on the lane changing signal was a must!

What was the 4th code you needed to do to activate easy seat setting?

Great thread!

The most impactful and beneficial coding I've done includes:
Enhanced Bluetooth for sure (using e-sys cable and coding)
Easy driver access
IDrive off when opening driver door
Disable seatbelt warning
Disable iDrive startup warning
Digital speedometer on dash
Windows up and down with key fob
Mirrors auto fold and unfold with car lock and unlock (no delay)
Lights flash 3x during lock or unlock
Decouple radio trim lighting from dash lighting
Tire pressure and temperature values display on iDrive
Start with auto-start/stop off

Hi, I have got the Bimmercode, and I have coded almost everything possible ....
-wheels on steering wheel
- sports gearbox
-sport +
-Put idrive when opening driver's door
-Plug mirrors when closing car
-Activate fog lights algirar steering wheel
-Disable bus because change halogen bulbs for LED.
-activate led door lights when going backwards.
-activate board speed.
-Activate sports watches and some of the Xdrive, which is not very good for what it is used for ... I put a photo at the end, if anyone knows, please tell me.
-activate welcome lights, (day, fog and doors) ..
etc. I don't remember more things now ...
It has been a good purchase, and very easy to use ....

Fold and unfold the wing mirrors on locking and unlocking
Removed I drive disclaimer
Added the M Performance animation
added digital speed and changed to actual speed

I think there were a couple more but can't remember of the top off my head. there are also a few more I would like to add but think I may have to go in to expert mode for this, such as increasing the amp from the USB ( my phone is hardly charging!! ), car starting with auto wipers on and remember the position of the auto high beams/adaptive headlights to name a few.

Anyway I have trawled through alot of threads to see all the different things people have coded and wondered what your favourite things were that you have added

and go........
Did you figure out how to increase the amp or start with auto wipers?

I have seen some guys have mirrors turn signal on and solid while driving. I was wondering if there was a code in bimmercode that could achieve that. There’s bunch of ppl on TikTok who have done this and said it’s in bimmercode but k personally couldn’t find it.

rd340i Why would you even want your mirror light on during normal driving? It could confuse other drivers.

I tend to trust BMW Engineers when it comes to safety measures.

To turn on mirror lights while driving you can use bimmercode expert mode in the FEM.

Do this and it must work.

What exactly is the practical application of this? If I see a car like this on the street, I’d think it has flood damage on the electrical system! 😳
