Instrument Cluster Compass Display
I cannot get the instrument cluster display to default to the compass display.
It will default or save as default to Distance to Empty, MPG or any of the others but not the compass. Any of you know the solution or is that just not an option? |

It doesn't stay in compass, next time you start the engine the panel is blank until you hit the BC button, then the first thing displayed will be compass.. Sadly this cannot be changed via iDrive.
Can it be modified by coding? We'll have to let our coding experts answer that. Pinging opasha , @r33 and Hang0ver

You can try programming one of the eight buttons to take you to the x drive (I think that's the one) status page in iDrive, or setting it for split screen content.

hyde , I never tried looking for that. But, based on trying to re-arrange default things, it seems to be impossible through coding. We are not changing the line of the codes, we are just able to change the values through "coding".

Ben (r33) is correct. You cannot modify the default setting for what pops up. You can only activate or deactive it with coding - just like how we active the BC DIGITAL V to allow for live MPH to be displayed there as a new option.

Mine remembers default for Compass if the last use/display was such.
However, it only began to remember at 4000 km. I guess Bigtop no longer defaults. http://f15.bimmerpost.com/forums/sho...hlight=compass Last edited by barcelona; 01-24-2015 at 03:38 PM.. |

Your are correct. When I first got the car, I could not have it default to Compass for a long time, then one day it did default. However, I took the car in for its first service and the dealership updated all the software (Idrive, etc.) Now it does not default to Compass anymore. |

I could be wrong, but I thought I read somewhere in these pages (no idea which one) that the compass can be configured to the mirror like the older E70. From what I can remember this does not have to be coded.

It's a different hardware (mirror).

I like it fine in iDrive; I don't use it.
