And play around with it.

I use translators as well for some. Azure helps.

Just BDC_Body as far as I know. You can use TM's NCD / CAFD Tool with or without E-sys Coding-Verification.

Nbt2 for 2017 cars? I'd like to enable the menu in the head unit in my 2016 model to change the blinker number to 5, is that's possible? Right now I coded it to blink 5 times based on your instructions. But in the head unit it's still says either single or 3 blinks.

As far as I know, only H-H2 has the FDL to enable toggle. And, car must have PIA_DEFAULT_TIPPBLINKEN with bitmask that allows werte = 02.

• FRM (eg, F025) & Fem_Body (eg F080) vehicles: They can toggle 1, 3, or 5; but, only the first two work.
• BDC_Body cars: Can toggle 1, 3, or 5.

Thanks, Almaretto.
Where is the best place to get TM's tool?

Either one of these locations:

• BMW Coding Made Easy: Getting Started for Fxx, Ixx, & Gxx Series
• NCD / CAFD Tool

Both are kept updated with latest links

i may have missed it here but on another forum i read someone activated their door handle lighting when the vehicle is put into reverse, has anyone coded similar options?

would be ideal for parallel parking at night

Yes, it is code-able to most BMW cars that are equipped with door handle light.

Unless you are meddling with things like integrated chassis management or changing things blindly, it is relatively safe and can always be reverted. Plus I have dealer-level diagnostic and programming software.

I have vehicle files from every Fxx- / Ixx- / Gxx-series BMW.

If I update to the latest coding software, can I still code cars with older systems?

Hi Shawn,

Can I get the latest files as well?

Do the latest files require the latest version of e-sys as well?

Thanks in advance.

I'm looking for coding advice for my 2014 X5 M50d, and I live in Thailand.

It came with
5AC, 5AT, 5A1, 5DL, 502, 548, 552, 563, 575, 6NR, 6NS, 609, 610, 688, 8KM, 8TN

I want to be able to connect to internet and share gps between my iphone and car.
Can I enable
