Wifi hotspot dlna

I coded in wifi hotspot so I can stream video and audio to car over dlna server. Wifi menu comes up on connections. However when I click down to check the box 'Vehicle WiFi' nothing happens. What do I do?

There is nothing to do. BMW removed WLAN functionality from NBT firmware shortly after NBT's debut in 2013. You can code it, but it will not work.

Yes. There are some non-bmw adapters that you can use (video in-out modules)....but those kind of modifications are no recommended.

If I code turn signal on HUD, will that result in a new setting for HUD that I can turn on/off, or it will always be on and needs coding to turn off?

Thanks sending PM now! It looks like even though people are requesting not to update, they are doing it automatically. Guess it all depends on how well you know your advisor?

Can any one explain how the rearview camera while in drive works? As in, lets say I am driving on the highway and I press the rear view camera option button I am able to see it?

Yes you can see the rear view for all of about 15secs before it turns off. You can also see the 360 view if you have it for the same amount of time. The front camera if you turn it on will stay on until you turn it off.

I have successfully joined the coding ranks... great thanks to Opasha, Shawnsheridan
and everyone else on this lengthy thread

I had a rocky start, as I had to uninstall and reinstall several times, as the launcher
couldn't find E-sys ... I think my mistake was using the link from the installer rather than
closing that and using the desktop link, but I finally got it working, and then ran several
sessions with no error codes ever coming up!

For some reason "unlock when STOP engine" isn't working, next time I go back in
to code something else I will see if I screwed it up, or if I did it right. I was a little
overcautious, and put off VO coding until next time, and only did FDL coding... yes
I know that this means when I VO code VLD and 6NS I will have to recode the FDLs
that are in those CPUs, but that's ok. This is what I've done so far, and everything
I have l tested so far works great!:
  • Disable Idrive disclaimer
  • Disable Camera disclaimer
  • M splash screen
  • Sport display to Red/Silver
  • Rear Camera Trailer hitch !!!
  • Navi zoom approaching turn (didn't work...will decode)
  • Tire Temp added to TPMS
  • DVD in motion (didn't work ... will try again)
  • Digital Speedo on Kombi with BC !!!
  • Kombi Startup Screen (didn't work... will try again, I have std (no HUD))
  • Disable Seatbelt chimes and icons
  • Close trunk via keyfob !!!!!
  • Side mirror fold on lock/unfold on unlock !!!!
  • Unlock when STOP engine (didn't work ... will try again)
  • Open doors not interrupt window rollup
  • VLD via FDL (did not test and will VO code later)
  • Fog Lights with High Beams !!!!!!!!
  • Fog Lights with parking lights
  • Handles on when reversing (did not test)
  • Radio and GPS off when door open (I am going to change this back)
  • Changed turn signal blinks from 3 to 5

In the next round:
  • VO code VLD
  • VO code 6NS
  • Volume of lock chirp (forgot because it's not in cheatsheet)
  • Camera Stays on when driving (I forgot to code this)
  • DVD in motion (didn't work ... will try again)
  • Kombi Startup Screen (didn't work... will try again, I have std (no HUD))
  • Unlock when STOP engine (didn't work ... will try again)
  • Navi zoom approaching turn (didn't work...decode back to normal)
  • Radio and GPS off when door open (didn't like ...decode back to normal)

This is my first coding of any car, and I'm not an IT/network wiz, so if you are
thinking about doing it but are worried, I'd say go for it. Also, note that I have the
OBD/Ethernet cable, but my laptop doesn't have an ethernet port, so I used a ethernet
to USB3 adapter purchased for short money on Amazon.

good luck!
