Coding with Bimmercode - errors
Just tried to do my first code, just to change the display logo to M sport. Coding said it was successful, but it initially displayed a SW update needed message instrument cluster error, and then on second attempt, it gave me an error indicating a failing pedestrian collision warning.
What gives, ignition is turned on. But codes are not taking and the errors make me a bit concerned. It also reset my clock on the first attempt. |

Did you read the thread. You have to delete the errors with bimmer link if I recall. Another app. $27.

If you're gonna code with Bimmercode, you also need Bimmerlink to clear all the errors you will get each time you code. Must have... |

OK, so the bimmerlink did the trick. So, it is normal to get a ton of errors when updating the instrument cluster.
Speaking of which. When I Picked the car up originally, I had a large font date right next to the time in the bottom left of the cluster. I turned it off from the setttings. Now after coding the instrument cluster, I can't get the date back to that location. Not that it is a big deal as it was rather ugly, but what might explain that? Does the coding move it to the board computer, as it is there (just not sure if it was always there) I am not having luck adding the Performance logo on the instrument cluster, is this suppose to work on the US Spec cars? |

It works. I have it on mine. Instead of a new thread how bout we post in the x5 coding the easy way thread. No need for duplicate threads mate.
To see the M logo you have to start car within 20 sec of unlocking http://f15.bimmerpost.com/forums/sho....php?t=1391908

It won't enable on mine, I can see a custom one in HUD, but not in the instrument cluster. |

It shows up on the nav screen. You can get the X5M 50d to show up on the IC but not very useful if you don't have that. There's a pic of this in the other thread.

You don’t have to have bimmerlink, you can also let the vehicle go to sleep for a bit and codes will be gone when you start it back up. I didn’t need to clear any codes when I did this.
Also, be careful which adapter you buy if you want to use bimmerlink. That app doesn’t work with all the same adapters that bimmercode works with (which is why I didn’t use bimmercode to clear any errors) |

I'm not able to edit the BDC anymore via BimmerCode. Any reason this could be happening?
I recently had some warranty work done to fix a error that read "cruise control malfunction". They said they had to replace a module, I wonder if it was the BDC?[IMG][/IMG] |

Have anybody had any luck coding the animations startup splash screen with bimmercode? I attempted tonight to code the Christmas and it ended up coding the M splash screen? I recoded back to the BMW 1 and then tried to code the Christmas screen again but it went back to the M?

Just did fogs remain on with brights and close rear gate with fob. Fun to be able to do such things. Only thing missing is Bimmercode doesn't read either of my older M cars.
