So which of these options do I change? I tried picking the "5th" color option I think it was orange/white/white to adjust. So I picked the 5th group and changed them all to "hellrot" 0D and nothing changed. So this is the image of my first group/layer or whatever. I assume this whole thing is orange right? I guess I'm just not understanding what is supposed to change.

Don't change the list name, as it doesn't matter. Go in and change all the colors in the sublayers to hellrot. Voila.

Colors dont show up there for me in the sub layers. It's either inactive or unknown. Although which one are you calling sublayer? The things i took a snapshot of?

I changed the codes to the "hellrot-0D" in each of the ensemble_X_layer_Y thing. Is that where you are referring? I went into all 8 of those layers for one of them and didn't change anything

The first four functions in nine groups is what is changed. Depending on firmware, it may take immediate effect or car may need to rest.

I only have 8 layers or is the first "group ensemble" the first one and then the sub layers the other 8?

I wish you could go through it and explore without actually having to be in the car. Damn thing takes so long to load the ECU and then the BDC dear god that takes forever

There are 9 "ensemble" sub menus, the first 3 are for the first 3 color solid choices that appear on the iDrive (orange, blue or white) by solid I meant no color combos here.

Starting from "Ensemble 4" thru 9th, options 4 and so on in iDrive, you can change the first 3 color layers on each color combo (dashboard-door-floor). In my case, the 4th and other color layers stay as "inaktiv"

The changes were immediate after coding and YES it takes forever to load the BDC module, I recommend to get a cold beer, a laptop with the cheat sheet for expert mode coding, and good music before coding, engine on and cel phone connected to USB port.

Good luck, hope I made myself clear with my poor english

That's so weird. I'm pretty sure I only have 6 or 7 ensemble Layers in the app. But I'll have to look again tomorrow after work. So inside each of the 9 layers the first 3 are the ones that I need to change to the respective colors. Thanks I'll give it a whirl

I did coding the old fashion way. I wonder if there's things this app can't do compared to the traditional way?

Alan
The only limitation I found is seat fan speed.
I have used both, computer and mobile coding. It looks like mobile coding dose have some limitation. I do not think mobile coding is capable of VO coding? Also, when I ran the mobile coding, some ECU, although present but were grayed out (like, I could not code the trunk door to open and close, the module is grayed out). Any info about how to get it done through mobile coding? Thanks

That's interesting. They weren't greyed out for me.

Some has success coding it using ENET and software... just wonder if anyone done it with bimmercode and can share steps.

Thanks
This step needs VO (vehicle order) coding of some module (BDC_BODY and KAFAS) to remove two codes added to the cars shipped to US (5AP and 84S). I did not see that the mobile software is capable of doing that. Anybody has the experience if it does? By the way VO coding is permanent and can not be erased by the dealer. It also needs to be done before any CAFD coding or it will set everything back to factory setting.

Does anyone know if the BIMMERCODE app will change coding when I install a new hitch? I've already bought a Vgate with the bimmercode app and it works great for the mods so far.

They code it for you (and other stuff if you want) when you buy it is my understanding

This thread is so funny. Everyday I saw it kept on brought up to the top. Hahaha.
If it is the easy method if coding, why a lot of questions.
I personally think using E-Sys is much easier and it's free if you can do it yourself.
And all the guides are there, I even share my cheatsheet publicly.
Anyway, just a thought that I want to share. Thread title doesn't says it all.
