Hi All,

I plan to do some coding this weekend but before I start does anyone know if Bimmer Code can read/write on a 2018 [March] F30 with Pro Nav and ID6 or am I going to brick it because something cannot be coded?

I'm looking at the following:
  • Turn on door lights in reverse
  • Continue window action when door is opened
  • Front fog lights with Welcome Lights [Soft On]
  • Tire Temperature to the TPMS display
  • Change the triple blinker to 5
  • Digital Speed Display
  • Turns off radio when the driver door is opened
  • iDrive setting on/off audible confirmation
  • Day-Running Lights option in iDrive Settings
  • Adjust Auto Headlight sensitive
  • Startup graphic to M/// Performance.
  • Allow Fog Lights to remain on with high beam

Thanks

Best bet is to ask Stephan the developer, he will know for certain.

I can't see a reason why it wouldn't work on your car as it works on every other F30.

The blinker from 3 flashes to 5 flashes cant be done any more its been hard coded by BMW so the option is no longer an option.

Ok so had my car coded this morning with the Bimmer Code app and Vgate Bluetooth dongle and all went without a hitch and was done and dusted in 15 mins.

Here is what could be coded......
  • Turn on door lights in reverse
  • Continue window action when door is opened
  • Tire Temperature to the TPMS display
  • Digital Speed Display
  • Turns off radio when the driver door is opened
  • iDrive setting on/off audible confirmation
  • Day-Running Lights option in iDrive
  • Startup graphic to ///M on iDrive
  • Fog lights on with Welcome Lights [Soft On]
  • Video in motion with video codec & video via USB

The only things missing was changing the one touch blinkers from 3 to 5 and keeping the fog lights on with high beam which I believe is due to me having High Beam Assist but no big deal anyway.

To be extra safe my phone was deleted from the car, the car Bluetooth switched off and Airplane Mode enabled...might be overkill but not taking any chances lol
