"Unlock when Engine Stop": Coding Option Not Showing Up?

I have coded several of the standard 'options' successfully, NP. The one I cannot get to 'code' is "Unlock when Engine Stop". I follow the steps, but when I get to edit step, changing nicht_aktiv to aktiv for vam_unlock_kl15off_after_pia_auto_lock in BDC_BODY, the aktiv option / value is not not showing up. I only get nicht_aktiv in the drop-down list. Any thoughts or ideas for how to fix / get around? Or have you seen this before, anyone? TY!

You might want to contact one of the guys in your area that does coding, you can find that here... (beginning of the thread is the link).

LoL. I even return lease with all of the coding still in the car.
The inspector got confused why the side mirror fold by itself when he lock the car.

You can only drive in reverse and have the door open if you do 3 things.

1: Have the drivers seat belt on.

2: Never fully disengage the brake.

3: Do not exceed 2 MPH.


I wouldn't code this feature off since the safety aspect of this is to protect the driver if they were to fall out of the car with the door open.

Say your in a parking lot and someone is trying to carjack you, rob, whatever... and your trying to floor it backwards with the door open to get out of there? But your escape buddy, aka the car, keeps trying to put itself in park!?!?!?

Hey fellas,

My current 2016 X6 is the first car I ever had coded. Just a few simple coded options were done for me last week. Everything seems to be working ok, but I noticed a couple glitches that I was wondering if any of you have experienced as well, and can point me in the right direction to fix these glitches.

1) Idrive boot up screen will play out in it's entirety, plays about half way through, plays for a split second or not play at all and the idrive screen will display the audio information immediately upon start up of the engine. I guess it depends on the mood of the ECU, but of course this inconsistency is not normal. Do any of you know a fix?

2) This is my third BMW and I have never had trouble playing my ipod using the USB port... that is until last night. I've been driving this car since I picked it up on Nov 16th, always using my ipod to keep me entertained while I get to know my new toy. Last night, the audio just went out on me, however the album art, track info and song timer is displayed as if I should be hearing music. What can I do about this?

Any input would be very much appreciated.

Can someone tell me if these colour options are in addition to the current selection or do the existing ones get swapped out for these. I was hoping it would be additional ones to select from. Can someone confirm.

I have been asking around for a coding solution for the door open/shift to park since 2012 for a number of reasons including the carjacking scenario mentioned by crackerjack15 and also backing onto ramps or into tight spots.

I am a firm believer in taking personal responsibility for one's own actions and if I fall out of the car when backing with the door open - so be it. I don't need a nanny.

BUMP

Just wanted to ask again if any of you have any ideas on how to get these minor, but annoying issues fixed on my F16 X6.

I don't really want to resort to drastic measures, but the few items I had coded last week are not worth the sacrifice of the USB port being inoperational. Mirror folding can be done at the push of a button, and fancy colors are cool, but not at the cost of my tunes.

Getting info from you guys, is my Plan A. Any feed back would be appreciated, because my plan B is to either figure out how to reset everything myself, or just take this car to the dealer and have them reset everything to factory settings.

Experts, please let me know what my options are at this point. Thank you.

When I had my X5 coded we tried it, but we did not have any success. I think it has something to do with, that these modules are separate and don't talk to each other, is that correct shawnsheridan ? (correct me if I'm wrong) I think its the same scenario as the trunk (to close the trunk you have to use the trunk button on your fob, cant be coded to close with the BMW button that closes windows/doors ect.)

It had its own thread.

Can you PLEASE share a on-board video.

Do you remember what the thread was called, can't seem to find the thread/link...

I have several things coded and have not experienced either of your problems my coded items list

1) note that the splash screen does not always play ... you have to have not used the
car for a certain amount of time, and start it within x seconds of unlocking it ... that
said, I've never seen the splash screen play only part way

2) my usb works perfectly after coding
sorry, I am not an expert and cannot help you fix it, I just wanted you to know that
the symptoms you are experiencing are not normal and are not something you have
to live with (as in a coding or usb choice) ... you should have both

Thank you for clearing that up for me. I did feel that the splash screen will only play out depending on how long the car has been in sleep mode, but when it does play, it should play out in it's entirety. My splash screen has been coded to play the ///M animation, but cuts off about mid-way 95% of the time, if it plays at all before displaying the menu screen.

As for the USB function, my last attempt to fix this will be to let the ipod battery drain completely, then re-connect it and hopefully it will play again. I will try this after work as the ipod has been playing all night, and shoud be drained by time I get back to my car after work today.

If this doesn't work, I will have no choice but to reset the CPU to factory settings, and reaserch to find a new coding guy.

I'm sorry, but if someone is 'skilled' enough to fall out of a moving vehicle, they really shouldn't be driving at all!

The splash screen will shows when you start the car within 20 seconds after you unlock the car. I am not sure if the car need to be asleep or not. But 20 seconds after you unlock is the main key.

As far your ipod through USB, what has been coded to the car where it changed the way it works?

Thanks for the info. I will definitely use this info to time out the splash screen... just to make sure I am not being overly paranoid about the boot up animation.

I didn't have anything coded for the USB to be honest. I got the coding done last weekend, and the ipod worked just fine until Tuesday night... so I'm not sure what happened. I assume the coding has something to do with it only because I have not experienced this before in my past 2 BMWs.

Hopefully it was just a 24 flu type deal, and things work like normal when I start up my car after work this evening.

I will keep you guys posted.
