All is not lost, I was able to get the following coded

Turnsignals in the HUD
Lane Departure Warning in the HUD
Dazzle Headlight FA/VO Code (though I think i need to do some additional FDL coding to get this to work)
Auto fold side mirrors when locking car
Auto unfold side mirrors at lower speed
Fold passenger side mirror further down during reverse
Illuminate pathway lights when in reverse
Turn off Seatbelt reminder and chime (thank GOD)

Things I still want to code

Turn off OBD2 Alarm
Close Trunk liftgate from key fob
Triple Blink turnsignal increase to 5 blink (actually coded this but it didn't work)
E-sys was created by ESG. CAFD are trimmed for a number or reasons, but Tokenmaster fixed by labeling in realtime.

Turn off OBD2 alarm & closing tailgate with keyFOB can be done. Triple blink no longer works for newer firmware.

Nope. That is only true for F22's and F3x's with FLE.

With headlights on, the left set were at stock brightness but the right set were at 100%

I gave up trying to figure it out and VO coded BDC_BODY to get back to default settings. Didn't fix it.

Anyone seen this?
VO Coding sets factory values. Angel eyes are set to 100% for DRL's. They are set to dim with low beams, but coding can be changed in FLE modules so this does not occur.

I would like to see:

M2 button. Option to shut off radio. My M2 button I keep for racing.

I also hate that once I back up, my center screen changes back to main menu. Would really like it to stay on my last screen.
HUD blinkers are does not work if you have 6WB digital dash or F2x/ F3x/ F8x (M3/M4). It may be possible to remap buttons but you can also use voice commands.

Depending on firmware, last view is default. For others, it always reverts to rear cam.

The instructions to FDL code BDC_BODY to change Angel Eye brightness is incorrect. I think it prob was correct for F15s without LED headlights. For us, you have to code FLE43 and FLE44. if you follow the instructions to code for Euro Anti Dazzle, your angel eyes will go to 100%. I haven't figured exactly which FDL value it is within FLE43/44 but I know it is one of the 79 values coded after the first 22 in the PDF instructions.
There is separate coding for 100% corona rings with low beams. It is listed on F15 Cheat Sheet.

Yes, getting rid of amber sidemarkers is also controlled by FLE.
