Awesome! Will give this a shot. The HUD is great, but the polarization on my sunglasses makes it useless during the day. Next pair or glasses wont be polarized.

A little OT, but out of curiosity can the road speed limit be coded to the HUD (driver assist) even though you do not have drivers assist plus which displays the road speed limit?
No it can not via the app. I have found and used one guy for that exact purpose of adding the speed limit. The individual will need to be able to generate fsc in the BMW network - thus not many people do it. I think I paid about $200cdn for it and has worked well. It also doesn't get wiped with coding flash at the dealer either as it is a registered. If you want the contact just pm me. Hope that helps

Couple of questions;

1. Anyone knows how restrictive is the Bimmercode app for an 2016 F15 30d (diesel engine)?
2. Does the Bimmerlink app comes in english or just german?

What exactly do you mean about restrictive? Unfortunately it is only in German at this time - and didn't seem to be something on the horizon either when I was in contact with the Developer.

SLI requires an FSC code or emulator and coding, but can be done.

I recall reading something about the engine management restrictions for diesel engines, other than that is the same no matter what engine you have.

You should not really be coding the engine ECU. The rest will be the same for petrol and diesel vehicles.

Worked w/no probs thus far, with the exception of having to remember to update the time after each code attempt.
For some reason I can't code the HUD Turn Signals, I coded in both places and still not working, any tips?

What's the maximum number of clicks you're seeing in the list? 3? 5? 6?

I don't see a choice of clicks, just active and not active, do I have to go into expert mode?

What are you using for reading the ECU? I use BimmerCode and under the sub-menu, it allows me to select the number of clicks from between 1 to 6 in increments of 1.

My coding worked flawlessly but I know several people had issues. Read previous posts.

Good luck!

It seems that my problem is that my car has the 6WB (digital cluster) and it doesn't work if you have that option. Do you have digital or analog cluster?

greyed out modules

hey guys,

trying to code my 2017 35d using the app and i'm having some challenges:

1. HUD turn signal (1/2) & (2/2) = Active ....but not showing up in HUD
2. When trying to code the trunk lid close with key fob, the entire "Rear Functions Module HKFM2" comes up greyed out and I can't access any of the options within it (see photo)

Short of reverting to the E-Sys method of coding, I'm stumped.

I look forward to your thoughts.

Analog.

Seems like everything analog just works better than digital these days

1. HUD turn signal (1/2) & (2/2) does not work if you have digital cluster (6WB) installed in your car, check the cheat sheet row 25, it hapened to me too, I own a 2016 30d F15 with 6WB

Ambient light doubts:
Hey guys, I need to understand more about how the ambient light feature works.
For example, I coded as a test the factory default orange color to hellrot (bright red) and it seems that it worked (no errors at least but I need to wait till night to see the real difference), my question is about what happens with the default orange and if I would have chosen "hellblue", what would have happen with the orange?
Hope I made myself clear enough with my poor english

IDrive words never change. Only what the represent. You can replace all nine or some of the groups with desired color combinations.

By changing dropdown menu. If you change orange to hellblue, then hellblue will now display not hellrot.
