If I am not mistaken didn't this use to be changeable within iDrive?

Only two choices on iDrive under "My Vehicle" -> "Exterior Lighting". 1 and 3 blinks are the options.

Two things don't work for me on Bimmercode App, 5 blinks and video in motion. Tried every possible options and tried many times too but failed.

Has anyone contacted the App developer over either coding issue?

I did. and I posted it on page 7 of this topic.

"Developer said that the value of 02 is correct and with newer iSteps it works for some and not for others."

I was going to buy the vgate2 just now but there seems to be two of them on amazon.

Does anyone know which of these two is the correct one? I think they might be the same but want to be sure. My wife's X5 coding was blown out at the dealer and I want to use this app to put back the things she lost.

http://amzn.to/2tcEpHW

http://amzn.to/2tDpDtf

Also is there any reason I should consider the vgate3? Any advantage?

Update: This is the correct one according to developer: http://amzn.to/2u73tTG

Ok thanks. of the two in the links above is one preferred? The title descriptions are somewhat different although both are vgate2 wifi obd. I'm thinking the slightly more expensive one with reviews and available in colors is the right one but want to be sure.

This is the one recommended by the app developer via the Bimmercode website: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XGFTZ5R..._5UMBzbJ4ST4QN

Good to know ...
I have Vgate V3 version but failed to code it as 5 times; ordering another Vgate V2 version to see if OBDII H/W version difference is the root cause.

I used a 2 and was able to code successfully to 6 blinks.

The 3, originally I purchased a 2 but it was a defective unit so I returned it for a 3.

I have the Vgate 3 and have no problems coding with it. I even coded the blinker count to 5 with success on my MY2014. I don't know why some have problems with coding the blinker count... I suspect it has more to do with the I step or idrive version of the vehicle. I don't think it has anything to do with the Vgate version.

That is what the developer told me. It has something to do with the newer I Step since I have 2017 model
