You make coding changes with E-sys or app. IDrive just changes which group is displayed.

Group 1: Orange | Orange, Orange, Orange
Group 2: White | Blue, Blue, Blue
Group 3: White | White, White, White
Group 4: White | Blue, White, White
Group 5: White | Orange, White, White
Group 6: White | White, Blue, Blue
Group 7: Orange | White, Orange, Orange
Group 8: White | Blue, White, Blue
Group 9: White | Orange, White, Orange

ID5 FACTORY GROUPS
Group 1: Orange | Orange, Orange, Orange
Group 2: Orange | White, Orange, Orange
Group 3: White | Orange, White, Orange
Group 4: White | Orange, White, White
Group 5: White | White, White, White
Group 6: White | Blue, White, White
Group 7: White | Blue, White, Blue
Group 8: White | White, Blue, Blue

Finally did it, thanks a lot, I ended changing the default orange to hellrot and the default blue to one called something like blau_F15_xxxxxx which is a more deeper blue, the factory one was kind of an ice blue using expert mode.

Not every module will necessarily have an update; but those that do will be overwritten. You do not want to restore backups from earlier firmware; as such, you will need to re-code.

No big deal is just a matter of keeping track of the features coded

Are these coding possible with the App using the vgate obd 2 WiFi?

Thanks
I'll admit that I haven't read this thread all the way through yet, but I'm curious if you've had success coding with the Vgate OBD 2 WiFi. Any hiccups?

EDIT: I finally got through this thread and may have the confidence that this can work for me. I may start with a Vgate III (http://amzn.to/2vDrUu4) as newer "should be" better, right?!?

Stellar thread! Thanks to everyone contributing all this great info!

Just got the VGate-2 wifi OBD reader this past Friday.
Bimmercode is a great app at least for me, coded in my first attempt without any errors or problems.

Module: BDC_BODY
Go to Expert Mode
Section 3070

I just changed the orange for hell-rot (bright red)
And the Blue for a darker and more intense blue, don't recall the exact name it was something like Blau_X5_xxxxx
Good luck

Bit the bullet and just ordered the VGate OBD 2 WiFi (I liked the idea of having a display on the device to confirm connection as well as the overwhelming success rate of this model (not discounting you wjdunn3 ! )...and added a fun item to qualify for the "free shipping": http://amzn.to/2vFSAtY LOL...maybe they'll look tacky, but...

Older, non-LED, lamps send signals to check for presence of lights. However, with LEDs, this ends up resulting in faults, flickering, and potential short circuit issues. As such, removing checks eliminates the problem when switching out factory lamps for LEDs.
