Just curious, what was wrong with your iDrive controller?

But, to your post, you can back up a config of the current code depending on the app/ method you're using.

I use BimmerCode and do occasional syncs to create stable backups for reverting back.
It was figity since I bought it. It would catch at one point when rotating it. "Internal failure" service dept called it. $1200 warranty bucks later.

But not sure how backing up will help menus show up that aren't showing up.
Ouch. $1200 to fix a simple knob???!


I meant backing up as in to save your ECU Coding options, especially if you made a ton of advanced changes.

Sorry, I was mixing up threads thinking people were using Bimmercode.

There should be 9 Groups. There are only six groups if coding an i8.

Surely there is a way to get it back to hellrot or the nicer blue. The 6 groups that are there, changing those values does not seem to change anything

Depending on firmware, especially older, you have to let car rest for changes to appear.

Never had to do that before. I no longer have integrated chassis mgmt ecu available, and looks like something else disappeared too, and the bdc 3070 is totally different, used to have 9 groups now only 6, idrive still has the 9 and they all work, but just in those basic colors I dont care for

Make sure engine is running so you provide power to see all ECU's.

Not sure why you are only seeing six.

You can change CAFD_ID's, but you will not loose ECU's.

I understand what you are writing; I just have never seen a vehicle drop an ECU.

Hi,


Did you ever found a solution for this, I'd also like to get blue colors to stay also after i've opened the door. And no I haven't coded anything yet.

When I went to Group 0 ensemble 2 was weiss but I noticed that layers 1-3 were blau_F15_PHEV and as expected layers 5-8 were inaktiv. Group 0 ensemble 3 was weiss and layers 1-3 were also weiss

Any how, what I would like to do is when I unlock the door the blue dome lights come on (which already happens) ALSO when I open the doors I would like the blue lights to stay on (currently they turn white). What do I change to get the desired outcome?

The developer updated the bimmercode, icm exu is back there now.

Now, just need to figure out how to get the nice red ambient lighting back.

Folks with the latest sw, do you still the 9 groups in bcm 3070?
