Interesting...Not that important, mainly just curiosity...

Next time you are in the car, switch it to Comfort and see if it closes the flap, or the other post is wrong and pulling the fuse does disable the flap control module.

I do prefer the ability to control via iDrive, but either way I am glad there are less invasive solutions than installing an aftermarket flap control unit.

Picked up an immaculate 2021 m40i the other day and got straight into coding all the silly features out. I was trying out the different displays but didn't like any of them because non of them displayed the drive mode except for the stock display. I went back to the stock display to find that the M40i logo at the top had disappeared
Anyone got any ideas on how to get it back?

Based on what I was able to research, in the prior iteration, it was possible but in the newer ones the Flap is controlled by the ECU directly and pulling fuse 203 has no impact on the flap control module.

I have a 2023 and also pulled the fuse. I also coded sporty on my car for the fake sounds to be piped through the speakers.

there is a setting on the idrive to enable driving mode.

Yes i know that, what im saying is, after swapping through the different displays M, Alpina etc, i went back to the standard display and the M40i logo had disappeared

Crisis averted. I just reverted back to the original coding and it came back.

Hey everyone,

I've played with bimmercode a couple of years ago when I purchased my X3 (G01, 2018 production). Haven't used it since though and after a recent software update at the dealer, all the settings that I changed went back to default. Still had the app on my phone, but it was an older version, so the "headunit" section was greyed out. I updated the app to the latest version, and was able to gain access to the "headunit" again. Changed several settings (not only in that section) and all worked perfectly fine except the Welcome screen.

Previously, on the older version of Bimmercode that I had, there was just the option to change the start-up animation. With the recent version, there are 2 options - first one is to choose if I want a welcome screen or an animation, second one is what animation that would be. I tried every single option possible, and although after I apply the changes the system resets showing the correct animation that I chose, after I finish coding, lock the car and start it again, it reverts back to the Welcome screen (in bimmercode, it still shows that I changed the animation).

Anyone faced anything similar and knows how to fix it?

Thank you in advance!

I've done my first coding change: no seat belt chime at start-up.

After the update I got an error code about "stabilitrack" or "stabilization" (not sure). The error cleared after a couple of engine starts.

Are these kinds of error codes normal after coding?

Yes, absolutely. By the time I'm done coding(or uncoding) between all the chassis stabilization and etc. codes — the car should be just left to die. Really all the prompts should go away on the very first start once you get out of diagnostic mode.

Does anyone has experience with running Bootmod3 flash on top of Carplay full screen and lifetime maps (the tool of Shawn)

I never had lifetime maps, but I did go to Shawn for full screen carplay (car already had carplay). Later the i-version of the car was updated for an unrelated issue and I was able to go full screen carplay via bimmercode. later added bootmod, so far no problems.

Those are two separate systems your all good to flash a tune

hello everyone, I hope someone can help me here
I recently brought my car from America, BMW x3 g01 2021, the front right headlight in the car was broken ( full led headlight) and I replaced it with a used EU one, and installed the old modules from the US headlight, since they were fine. But the headlight behaves strangely. In the headlight mode, all the angel eyes light up brightly, but when I switch the light to auto or low mode they stop working, I know that they should work but with less brightness.

I also replaced all the blocks from the left working headlight, but this did not help

I really hope that this can be fixed with code by assigning the necessary settings to the headlight

Hi Everyone.

I am interested in purchasing bimmercode app, anyone know if iOS/Android/Windows are are about the same?

I am an Android smartphone user but have Win 10 laptops as well and have older iPhone 6s lying around.

I will still need both of these correct, even if I opt for the Windows version? Many thanks.

Just code it by EU typschluse. European lamps do not have sidelights, USA got. Use ESYS not bimmerCode, cause list of changes is very big.

you will need the enet cable
the adaptor you will need if your computer doesn't have an ethernet port or you are going to use the cable in a usbc iphone or tablet

When speaking to the Salesperson, we were told Bimmer Code could void factory and extended warranties here in Canada, is there any truth to this? Sounds like BS to me but just wanted to confirm.

I don't plan to do any extensive changes, maybe set up Sports Individual as the default setting for the two user profiles.

[RoundelM3]

Sounds like BS to me as well. Bimmercode just enables/disables features, same as the dealer could do. Not the same as modifying the ECU with a tune, which would affect any drivetrain-related warranty claims, but nothing else.

It's BS, but, here's the rub. Every time you take the car to that dealer you'll have to put it back to its original state before they see the car. Either that, or be prepared for a fight anytime anything breaks under warranty. If the dealer is a real snert they'll try to blanket deny anything even though it's totally unrelated to whatever fails. Now, you said you spoke to a salesperson, often the most clueless of the clueless. Stop by and have a chat with your service advisor. Like as not you'll find him more reasonable.

If not, I'd suggest changing dealerships if possible. Or to avoid issues, leave the car bone stock, which is safest. In my case I spoke to the service advisors at the two dealerships I use and told them what I planned on doing. No problems.

Does anyone know how to code the service message back to correct mileage ? I've coded a few things years ago via bimmercode. Last month I was trying something, not good then tried to use the restore function in the app. It restored everything back (the HU unit) but now the reminder for service / oil check service is incorrect mileage. The car already done 50,000km but the reminder message of oil check for 15,000km (which I assume due to the fact that the bimmercode app was restoring the backup from a few years ago.

Is there a way to set the message reminder to correct mileage ?
