The only option that isn't working for me is the blinker from 3 to 5. Is anyone else having this issue? Recommendations?

Use expert mode as software might use old coding that does not work on newer firmware. See F15 Cheat Sheet in OP of Coding Thread.

I enabled iDrive6-Lite and it works fine except the image of the car under My Vehicle shows a 5 series. How do we change that to be an X5?

Only way is to update vehicle firmware through flash programming.

Did you happen to set it with "no delay"?.

Not sure if this is the answer you're looking for, but I went the mobile route with Bimmercode App (Bimmerlink App for clearing errors) and the Vgate OBD II reader.

Hey everyone,

If you are using the BimmerCode App, you need to also use the free BimmerLink app and clear out all the errors.

This way you don't need your car to go to "sleep" and all of your options that you want to configure WILL all work... Remember that you have to clear the errors from both the 1) Error Memory & 2) Info Memory

It would be a good idea to go to clear errors in these two areas twice...

BimmerCode you must pay for (to unlock and actually use), BimmerLink is free, or at least it was free.

Yeah I downloaded both apps last night and had to pay for both. BimmerLink was paid before download itself and BimmerCode was an in app purchase using the little gear/ settings icon on the bottom right of the apps home screen.

Still, paying ~$50 for both apps along with ~$25 for the OBD connector doesn't seem too bad considering all the things it'll allow me to do on both my F10 and F15.

Now, I'll be pissed if neither codes correctly lol. My dock should be here today so I'll report my results back later this evening hopefully.

That was exactly it mate, thank you. I folllowed that same process. I just ended up getting an icar2 adapter instead of the icar3. What about you?

Seems like the reviews for the 2 are better on Amazon dot com.

You're welcome!

I went with the icar2 as well for the same reason that you did. The reviews I read were better, and they had the reader in Black/Green (I've been a Green Lantern fan for decades!)

Now the one thing I wish it could do, and maybe I just haven't seen the option within the App, but the ability to "batch code" would be nice. I made the mistake of selecting each item I wanted to code, then selected code only to find out it only coded one of the selections. This led me to believe that coding in bulk (batch) isn't possible with the App??? I haven't contacted the Dev since it's not a big deal for me.

Anyone know if batch coding is possible when using a computer?

I initially ordered the iCar2, it was defective so I returned it and ordered the iCar3 and it worked great. I'm sure they both have defects, it's a crap shoot with these devices.

I was able to select many options within one module, then select code and it worked. The only option I can't get to work is the blinker to 5 from 3. I'm going to try the expert mode as advised in the post above.

Ok, that makes perfect sense.

I was in and out of different modules trying to do the same thing.

I had sent the developer a series of questions prior to jumping in. Coding one module at a time was one answer. I've done multiple items at once, but all in the same module.

I'm using my F10 as "test" runs. Plan to work on theX5 next. While not afraid of plugging my computer into the car, I just wasn't willing to deal with the "windows in Mac world". Best $75 spent ever

I suggest to contact the developer. Tell him what the issue is and include your logs. Go to contacts and select contact support and it will include your logs once you send him your email. It is under "settings" lower right of BimmerCode App.

I've tried it on expert mode and change the value to a custom (maximum is 03 cannot go 04) of "PIA_DEFAULT_TIPPBLINKEN"-> "Tippblinken_fuenfmal (0x02). And I still get 3 blinks. Developer said that the value of 02 is correct and with newer iSteps it works for some and not for others. So I fall also on the others since it does not work for me. Oh well.
