Bimmercode?

[Jason73]

I have a 2017 35i. I am using Bimmercode to code a few items but I am locked out from being able to code under the Headinit portion. I have emailed Bimmercode twice with no response. Any suggestions on how to access. I do have Carplay installed if that helps.
Thanks

This may help...? I had the same issue but was coding a few ECUs in one "session" and got an error on the head unit. I skipped it and continued on. I then disconnected bimmercode, started the car, shut it off and reconnected. It was then able to read/write to the head unit.

Thanks, however, I have tried multiple times and still can not get into the headunit portion. I sent Bimmercode another message, hopefully I will get a response this time.

Sorry I was of no help. It was odd when I encountered it also. But I'm curious what bimmercode says, please update when you hear more.

Will do

I’ve heard in another group that bimmercode locks you out if you have CarPlay. I don’t have first hand experience but that other group says you will need to use e-sys if you have CarPlay.

Bimmercode is coming out with a release that allows headunit access with Carplay.

That will be great, I've got the Carplay from BMW (so not an unofficial patch or anything) and can't customise anything in that section from Bimmercode.

Hey OP. Have you previously used a third party service to code anything (like fullscreen CarPlay) remotely? If so, that may be the reason why you cannot access the Head Unit sub-section via Bimmercode. If you're not the original owner of the car, then a previous owner may have done this.
