bimmer coding

seenthelight! · 10-26-2018, 12:14 PM

firstly, apologies if this has been covered before, but i'm a daft newbie!
secondly, what a friendly and knowledgable bunch you are - not at all like an un named clicky merc forum, that i won't name.
my question is this, i've researched the coding quite a bit, and been offered to have it done locally by a very helpful member on here (

).
i would like the following ...

HUD - more info, indicators etc.
tyre temp on pressure screen.
door handle lights on reverse.
digital speedo on dash.
m sport logo/graphics on start.
seat comfort on entry/exit.
ambient lighting on max.
angel eyes on max when low beam on.
radio/nav turns off when engine cut/door shut.
enable tail lights on with drl's.
change lane indicator from 3 to 6 flashes.

i dont think i've missed anything, but if i have, what are the 'must have' codes that the more experienced of you have ?

ps, loving the car .... better than the audi s3 and merc gla45 amg, dare i say !

You will want to separate the dash / ambient lighting . This means the poor ambient can be left at 100% whilst you dim your instrument lights.

You need the RR warning gongs , much more civilized than the BM ones.

Videos via USB , handy when your are waiting for wife / kids / mates.

Alarm chirps when locking / unlocking.

M Perf logo in the cluster.

What’s the seat comfort on entry/exit do?

i would like the following ...

HUD - more info, indicators etc.Not sure
tyre temp on pressure screen. Easy
door handle lights on reverse. Easy
digital speedo on dash. Not sure
m sport logo/graphics on start. Easy
seat comfort on entry/exit. Don't know if it's possible
ambient lighting on max. De coupled from dash - Easy
angel eyes on max when low beam on. Easy / maybe
radio/nav turns off when engine cut/door shut. Easy (but why?)
enable tail lights on with drl's. Easy
change lane indicator from 3 to 6 flashes. Can't be done

All sounds to Rolls Royce
Disable seat belt warnings
Option of audible alarm confirmation in idrive
The most important by far is to either disable stop start switch or remember last position of switch. Yes, forgot that one, absolute must have IMO
and anything else we can find to tweak while we're in there

I've put maybe next to the angel eyes because on my car it said "unknown value" and I didn't want to screw anything up by playing with it, your car may be the same and I'll change it if you want....
Digital speedo wasn't an option on my car

Be aware there is a very small chance of something going wrong and you needing a visit to the stealers for a software update, but it's a 1 in 1000 chance and as long as we take precautions with Bluetooth there'll be no issues....probably

Remove volume control pop up from idrive (whatever the option is)

The most important by far is to either disable stop start switch or remember last position of switch.

I find the radio cut off with door open very useful.

Chirp on lock: cut the chirp time down as it is quite loud otherwise.

Seat Belt warnings not off, but at minimum time and distance.

richatha · 10-27-2018, 11:55 AM

Evening everyone, just done some alterations to my coding and the one I couldn't seem to find was "Disable seat belt warnings". Can anyone tell me which category it's under and is it in expert mode?

pcp1234 · 10-28-2018, 01:36 PM

drop me private message I can help out, I can come round to you or you can come to me

AlwynMike · 10-28-2018, 01:56 PM

Advanced Crash Safety Module

I just reduced the time to 5 seconds and distance to 50 metres.
Still alert if anyone isn't belted, but I can stand 5 seconds of Bong!
Especially Rolls Royce Bong.

Thanks! I will get it changed this week! I am changing back from Rolls Royce i find them really quite and dull especially on the reverse sensors.

They are in the 'Headunit' section, then under 'Audio' and in 'Warning Sounds'

Though that is in demo mode, not sure in the full version if they're more car specific

They are car specific, my 2013 xDrive 320i doesn't have any other sound options, just the one it came with.

Some other coding options are not available on my car either.

They are adjustable for volume via an option on the iDrive, i only found this out a few days ago as they must have defaulted to mid volume when the unit reset itself after the coding.
