Does coding have to be done with engine running, or it doesn't really matter?

Thanks a lot. What about bimmerlink. Is it really necessary to buy one to clear errors, or they will disappear after car goes to sleep?

Is it possible to code any of these:
1. Have auto start stop off in ECO PRO mode by default. I thought I set it correctly, but it didn't seem to work.
2. Have the windshield wipers in auto mode by default when the car starts
3. Have the mirrors fold when I lock the car by door touch or fob. I think this is somehow related to comfort closing but I'm not sure how that works. Whatever settings I changed didn't enable this.

Thanks!

all errors i get while using bimmercode clear themselves once i turn the car off and back on. no need for bimmerlink for that specific use in my case.

I coded a lot of features, usually you will get a warning or error message after each coding, all disapear after restarting the car, as someone said before, don't buy Bimmerlink if you don't really need it.

1. I coded to remember the last mode I was in before shutting down the car and works perfectly.
2. No idea sorry
3. I coded to fold my mirrors with comfort access if I leave my hand on the handle for more than 1 second and works great, and if I close it via key fob, it folds the mirrors every time. My car was factory coded to fold and close all open windows or sunroof when leaving the hand on the handle, so I just shorten the reaction time to immediate

help. During connection to the car hkfm module is in grey color and bimmercode says that it is unavailable. As a result I can not code closing of boot lid from fob pay just pressing a button. Is there any other way to code it?

Yes hate that I have to select auto for wind shield wipers every time. My 2005 Merc didn't have to do this. I think it's cuz the switch is digital it resets after awhile being off like heated/cooled seats

Unsure if it’s the same as the F30 but you can’t code auto wipers for a safety reason of if it’s frozen overnight it wouldn’t be very good if they tried to “wipe” first thing!

I have coded a number of my cars with laptop and cable but thought I would try this route having a need to re-do my X5 after being in for ECU flash by dealer.

Process is much easier, and I was able to code a number of features, but the main item I want (folding wing mirrors) is not listed as an option.

I believe it should show under the BDC (Body Domain Controller) EDU module but the 'Mirrors' section i see in demo mode isn't there or in any of the modules...

Any ideas? I may have to dig out the windows machine and cable again, but hoping this route will be effective.

I have it set to slow communication FYI.

I have 2017 X5 4.0e.

Thanks all.

Not in BimmerCode application.
I think it can be done in (BimmerLink) application. That is $ 26.99 extra.

Yes I added this, note that there are two separate modules to set it to Active in.

Anyone having trouble after updating iphones to iOS11 with Bimmercode app?
Can't code anything since then, everytime I click on the "code" button, automatically looks for "In App Purchases" and no coding at all......

I do not believe the developer of BimmerCode has updated the app for iOS 11. Send him an email and inquire. Keep us posted.

That's what I'm thinking too.

I also found that my coding is locked, the app is asking me to buy it again at the app store, so for sure this is just an iOS11 bug

Will keep you informed as soon as the support dept responds.

I updated my iPad Air 2 to iOS 11 and it is VERY buggy. I am extremely delighted that I have not updated my iPhone 7 to it. Will wait until 11.1.
