Anyway, it scary that someone can hack into my car while stopping or moving.
Adapter has on/off button. Adapter also turns off by itself after car stopped and locked ( i think not right away, but rather after some time). Anyhow, i live it plugged in.

Is that the only thing that they control? Wouldn't the flap also determine level of backpressure from the exhaust with possible impact to performance?

Yes, but that was a quick answer for a nob question. People try to open it for sound as far as I know.

Is Vgate OBD adapter is a must? Can I use other ELM327 adapters? Anyone tried about it?

Got my adapter in for the bimmercode app and everything is done easily and most of the stuff in somewhat self explanatory, but could I get some help on the circled items in terms of what changes these make? Most of them our related to trunk closing and opening but don't exactly understand how they relate, esp when it says "footwell" please help!

To be clear I believe the Android app contains both BimmerCode and bimmerlink where as it’s 2 distinct apps for iOS

Ok, what am I doing wrong...I can connect to the v-link via wifi, it reads the ecu and shows the menus, I find the option I want to code, change the value and hit code at the top of the screen and it gives an error that I am not connected to the internet....which makes sense becuase I am connected to the vlinks wifi....

Do you have it set to “slow communication”?
Check it out on settings page on BimmerCode

Tailgate button in footwell ooperation mode
- the tailgate button that's locate on the driver door's window switches panel (whether you want it to be able to open/close/open & close)

Tailgate remote operation mode
- with the bmw remote, do you it to be able to open/close/open&close

Tailgate button in footwell close with long press
- when it's closing, do you want it to be close with one touch or you have to keep on holding onto the button

Tailgate with remote close with long press
- same with the previous one, but now it's with the remote, do you want it to be close with one touch or you have to keep on holding onto the button

Start Stop function off by default
- the engine start/stop function, whether you want to keep this function off or not

Got my iCar Pro Wifi on Saturday and had a chance to play around with the basic settings, planning to dive into expert mode stuff today or tomorrow. Super easy to get started with iOS apps and reading most of this thread in advance was key so i knew about some of the basic stuff like throwing codes and starting w Slow Connection.

Done the following so far:

One Touch Trunk Open/Close w. Fob & Door Button
Mirror Open/Close w. Comfort Access
/M Splash Screen at Start-up
Radio/Nav off on door open
Digital Speed in Board Computer
Disabled Disclaimers at Start-Up
Disabled 2 Horns when Locking while Running
6 Click Indicator - WORKING!
Door Handle LEDs on Reverse

FWIW, i've found i have to clear errors 2-3 times from both the INFO and ERROR Memory sections of BimmerLink to get it to stick. Also think you need to explicitly DISCONNECT in the BimmerCode app to get it to connect in the Bimmerlink app

Does anyone know if the flashing red LED on the rear view mirror can be disabled using BimmerCode? It’s activating my dashcam motion sensor, so the thing is recording all night!

We need video proof of the 6 click indicator working

You may be the first to get this to work or bimmercode finally found a way to get this to work.

6 is too many as it turns out so I plan to change to 4 but will get video before in case that ends up backfiring and never working again.

CeeTeeX5 Here you go, don't know how to embed the video, let me know if the link doesn't work. I'll do screenshots of Bimmercode (i'm only touching easy mode) if switch to 4 is a success.
