I think this means the sport auto 2TB! No?

Are you sure its 2TB or its something else? Because 2TB requires VO coding to change!

If your car did not have paddle shifters behind the steering wheel, and you retrofit them, including the additional wiring, that coding in bimmercode will activate them. AFAIK, there is no difference in shifting points as the gearbox is identical.

Can the bimmercode app stop the climate control from automatically turning on with the car? I can't find one for it.

Keyless Comfort Access

I have a 2017 X5 that I use the fob to lock/unlock. I have been told that I can buy a package to add the "keyless comfort access" and that the car is prewired to do this. The package comes with everything you need including the door handles. They verified my vin to make sure, etc. This is from bimmertech.com. Has anyone done this and wondering if it cancels my warranty? Additionally when I have called dealers/shops that have master techs they say they don't do this and/or it can't be done. The dealership wants me to upgrade my auto. Thanks!

Yea, I have looked into that retrofit. And its works good from the reviews I read.

The only problem is installation. Its quite hard and theres only one video of the same install but its on F30. I think you need to bite the bullet and learn to do it yourself!

Heres the video:

Anyone have any luck coding the M Performance logo in the odometer area of the dash? Similar to this photo from an F30

This is probably better suited for the thread on this topic. Not in the remote coding thread bro. Unless you have a specific remote coding thread.

Late last year, I enabled HUD turn signal indicators and with a recent visit to the dealer who did a software update, they disappeared from the HUD. When I went back in to Bimmercode, the option was no longer available. I updated the app to the latest iOS version today and re-checked, but the option isn't in there.

I received the adapter last week and gave a shot yesterday with the last version of BimmerCode available for IOS 11.3.

I have already coded the following:
  • Turn off disclamers
  • M splash screen
  • Mirror fold when closing car with the remote (no delay - confort access)
  • DVD in motion (not tested yet)
  • Door Leds on reverse (not tested yet)
  • Do not stop windows lifter when opening door (not tested yet)
  • Tires temperature

Next are:
  • Daylight Rear lights (outter and/or inner, don't know yet)
  • Auto Eco pro on start up
  • Change ambient color lights, to add more colors
  • Number of blinks on lane change to 5 (will be the most challenging I guess since the only options I get is 1-3-5, and the 5 refuse to be selected in the app, when I go back the 3 is back again as the value)

Apart from that, everything seems to be working as expected.

The only issues I got, but were more or less expected, are the following:
  1. Multiple errors after coding, but they went away after next engine stop and start
  2. Engine icon turned ON on the dash. I haven't used BimmedLink yet, but it is planned since the icon seems won't leave after 2 days
  3. I lost all my "bookmarks/shortcuts" saved on "radio" numbers

What I would have loved:
  • Rear, front and panoramic cameras at any speed. But not sure if possible

Unlock doors on engine stop not working

While I've coded via ESys before, I decided to give the Bimmercode a try in the interest of saving time - which it definitely does (at least for me).

Anyway, I am unable to get the "Unlock doors upon engine shut off" to work. Bimmercode gives me the option, which I set to "Active" and it still doesn't unlock the doors when I shut the truck off. I've even tried going into advanced mode to look for these two codes:

Unlock when STOP Engine (older software) BDC_BODY 3040 VAM_UNLOCK_KL15OFF_AFTER_PIA_AUTO_LOCK nicht_aktiv aktiv

Unlock when STOP Engine (newer software) BDC_BODY CLI_DEFAULT_UNLOCK_AFTER_END_OF_DRIVING nicht_aktiv aktiv

Neither of these codes is listed under section 3040.

I opened a support ticket with Bimmercode, but Stephan didn't see anything in the logs that could explain why this wasn't working. I can try coding this via ESys, but if the Advanced mode of Bimmercode didn't see the lines for this option, doesn't that mean ESys won't see this either?

X5 is a 2016 model with a September, 2015 build date.

Anyone have any ideas?
