Or i can only see Telephone 1. I'm trying to have the ability to connect 2 Bluetooth phones simultaneously.

Is there any additional FDL coding required for HU_NBT? If so, where do i need to do it?


Thank you for your help in advance.

Changing 6NH to 6NS in your FA and then VO coding HU_NBT will give you the ability to pair 2 phones. However, I believe the second phone is only for streaming media, not for receiving calls/text. You do not need to FDL code anything for enhanced bluetooth. You will need to re-code any other things you may have previously coded in HU_NBT, as VO coding will reset everything to factory settings.

You can make and receive calls, but text/email will be just for active phone.

Mine opened once again in my pocket, and I realized it opens when I am all the way upstairs, putting my shoes on with key in my pocket, or when I am picking up bags/groceries/etc.. I just got a huge deep scar on my tailgate because door was opened, and I attempted to open the garage door.

I think you need this in the cheat sheet:
Line 46 open trunk with keyfob.

Default is 5 seconds. Could well be increased.

Pretty new to coding and solely relying on the code sheet and all the hard work already put in there *kudos*

Some small things I couldn't find in the sheet:
1. Is it possible to enable TOP view camera when in reverse? Would come in handy to drive out a tight parking spot instead of having the reverse camera on.
2. Is it possible to disable the radio shutoff as soon as you open the door? Would be nice to have the radio playing when people are waiting in the car.
3. Is it possible to have HBA on at all times rather than pushing the button?

My apologies when these questions were already answered. All feedback appreciated.

Is this the default behavior on Belgium cars? In the U.S. we need to code it to have it shut off on door open. I have always been curious on what markets have it on by default.

In Germany it's the same way as in Belgium, that's all I know on that. I do know that my Wife's 328i 2011 is coded that way by default, so maybe it's a newer change here in the US? Since I had to code my X5 to be like that (my preference).

@karoshi Here is the coding sheet Link where you can take a look at Row 93 - it's the line you need to code (obviously to nicht_aktiv, in your case):

Hope that helps

Thanks!

Last question before I start my journey in coding. Does the X5 40e has a specific file needed or is it the same F15 file as all the others?

Its standard here in South Africa aswell (radio shuts off when door is opened)

This actually isn't true for me. Someone texted both my wife and me while we were both in the car the other day, and we ended up with two identical messages in idrive.

And your phones are listed as 1 & 2? Do your phone books merge?

Question regarding HBA auto on coding.
I've found a coding sheet where it states the following codes to be on for HBA to automatically be enabled:

KAFAS2 Module:
High-Beam Assistant – Auto-On
3050FLA_ON_OFF set to: aktiv – werte=01

BDC_BODY Module:
High-Beam Assistant – Auto-On:
3068FLA_AKTIVIERUNG set to: LDS_in_A_oder_2

HU_NBT or HU_CIC Module: (Not all available in CIC Headunit)
High-Beam Assistant – Auto-On
3000HIGH_BEAM_ASSISTANT set to: aktiv

Do I need to code ALL of them or is this just a case that it's possible via different modules?
My car is equipped with 05AC (High Beam Assist) so just looking to activate it by default and not code it in.

My apologies if this question has already been asked. Quite new to coding.

Thanks in advance for any input!

Some of those will be set by VO coding. If you follow pdf guide, all will be set correctly. I am not sure what you mean by "activate it by default," but there is no auto-on for F15's like in the F10; you must press stalk button.

Good question. I'll check the next chance I get and report back.

the radio in my Belgian 2016 F15 continues playing after turning off the engine and opening the door. No coding whatsoever :-)

Can someone please help me confirm that when opening the E-SYS Launcher should I be selecting a Car Series of F015 or F025 for my F15 X5?

[aroach04]

Scratch that last question, found the answer earlier in the thread.

Thanks for the very helpful post to get the most out of my F15

There is one question, in your post, it says CLEAR DTC/ Error Codes. Does this step basically revert your car back to its original factory settings and removes all the codes you have written? OR is it a must after each coding session?

I'm a little unsure if I should do this step?

After coding, my F15 occasionally gives me an error of RDC tyre pressure monitoring failure and I am trying to get rid of this error. It only happens when I go long distance at high speeds (Motorways/ Freeways)

Thanks again for your help!

Coding certain modules will throw false faults or error codes. These will be cleared either by driving or occasionally require using external transmitter to clear. It does not happen with all modules and does not revert coding.

This post may help with coding function.

So here is the update, it was a combination of the watchdog and Active PDC and Auto PDC. So not sure which one, but I just added this feature to my F12 M6. I actually like it now, and you can turn it off and on from the setting menu.
