They're knowledgeable, fun to work with, and incredibly competent. btw, I have no affiliation with them other than as a very happy customer. Here's the list of coding that they gave me for my MY20 iD7 X4 (I've had most of it done):

Comfort and Convenience Features
• Windows to Close with Key Fob
• Enable Windows to Close when Doors are Open
• Enable Trunk to be Closed with Key Fob/Footwell switch
• Enable Remember A/C Compressor Off Mode
• Disable A/C when selecting Automatic Mode
• Turn off Horn on Secure Feature when Locking with Engine Running

Safety Features
• Change Speed Limit Info Sign to ECE (Circle with Red Outline)
• Enable Rear Camera Zoom
• Enable Sideview Cameras at all speeds
• Tire Pressure and Temperature Displays
• Turn off Seat Belt Reminder for Driver/Passenger
• Change Default Distance on Adaptive Cruise Control

Instrument Cluster Features
• Change to Alpina or M Vehicle Instrument Cluster Theme
• Change Sport Theme from Red to Grey

Lighting Features
• Turn off Amber Side Marker on Headlights (Disabled with Anti-Dazzle HBA Coding)
• Enable Anti-Dazzle High Beams
• Enable Variable Light Distribution
• Turn off Lights on the Off / 0 Position

iDrive/Infotainment Features
• Remove Start-up and Camera Legal Disclaimers
• Change Start-up Logo to M Logo
• Enable Xvid, OCG, and Xvcd Format Codecs for USB Video
• Enable Video in Motion for DVD/USB Playback
• Remove Speedlock Restriction for Mobile Office and User Manuals
• Enable B&O DSP Setting (Harmon Kardon Systems with Logic 7 only)

Drivetrain Features
• Start car in Eco Pro, Adaptive or Sport Driving Mode
• Auto Start/Stop System – Remember Last User Setting/Memory

Hmm okay. I am completely new to BMW, all I heard about was Bimmercode. So that is the co. I went with. If you can get different features from a different brand thats great. But I feel like not everyone knows about codemybimmer. And these options that you already mentioned should be avalble with BC shortly. So Im okay with waiting.

Except for anti dazzle and vld. These require a different type of coding that BimmerCode ist not working on implementing.

Care to share how to accomplish anti dazzle and vld with bimmercode ? Much appreciated

The point of the reply was that you cant get these with BC. Not sure why you would ask how to have it done with BC, when its not, and will not be supported.
You can look for other options for that other than BC.

Did you get the Alpina mode coded on your 2020? What's it look like?

For those BimmerCode users waiting, Stephan is working on the Headunit and Instrument Cluster modules. I have been lucky enough to get access to test versions and can confirm that both Alpina and M dial are available

suby01 · 10-29-2019, 07:49 PM

I'll just sit here and wait.

Would the M dial be different than what comes standard on the new 2020 M40i with live cock!pit pro and ID7? If it is different, I'd be curious as to what the difference is!

1st image = standard M40i iD7/Live Cockpit dials
2nd Image = M dials

Interestingly the M dials loses the M40i logo in the centre, and doesn't display which drive mode you are in. Also noticed the speedo and tacho scales are different - Speedo runs to 200mph (as opposed to 160) and tacho to 8000 (as opposed to 7000). Map seems smaller too.

For those with a diesel car, there is an option to code the word "Diesel" just beneath the fuel pump logo next tot he gauge

Alpina dials also worked, with Alpina logo in the middle (instead of M40i) - sorry forgot to take a picture.

Would nee nice if the M40i logo could be retained with any of the dial selections (have fed back to Stephan, but suspect that its not an option. Likewise having drive mode displayed somewhere.

Thanks for your efforts on this Mike. Im just hoping that this is still in the works for more and better updates. As the "update" to the M dashboard display on the ID7 is not that impressive IMO.

Smaller map and a no logo in the middle, and no actual red color for the tach redline. So far I personally am not impressed.

I have fed some of these back to Stephan, but it would seem that there simply are no driving mode visuals in the M layout. I will be feeding back my logs form the app to him so that he can try and see what the M logo is not displaying as it worked on his test car (which was a G20 with iD7 and Live Cockpit)

Given that previously (the old digital dials) there was a was to change the M-dials from grey to red (or vice versa not sure) I'm sure buried somewhere in the options in Expert mode, there might be a way to adjust the colours.

Kind of wish a view like the M cars dashboard was available for the M lite iDrive 7 Live Cockpit...

suby01 · 10-31-2019, 08:01 PM

New version was released. Hopeful to test out some new cool features. Anyone check it out yet?

suby01 · 10-31-2019, 10:37 PM

Okay new update to the head unit is available. Change the start up logo.
Turn on VIM.
Disable audio visual notification.
Disable start up warning.
Disable camera warning.
Change sound of alarm.
Change volume of lock sound.
Plus some more.
Pretty cool, overall. Still waiting on the last touches for the dashboard.

nikbila · 11-01-2019, 07:24 AM

Any indication the alpina dials can be displayed without alpina logo?

If your talking about the dials on the gauge cluster then no. Only the head unit is able to be coded with BC for ID7. The Alpina start up logo is very cheesy on the head unit.

syuan92 · 11-07-2019, 09:13 PM

Any chance it would be possible to code backup assistant on the X3 ID7?

If you read this thread with all these posts before yours you will find out that Alpina dials on a 2020 id7 are not available with BC.

I was wondering why I only had a short list of options to mod. ASD off was the first thing I wanted to do and thought I was having some kind of issue because it wasn't on the list.

Actually I DID have an issue getting into BDC. When I clicked it, BimmerCode said I needed a "UniCarScan" or "OBDLink" adapter. I thought that's essentially what I just bought?! I did a decent amount of research & sounded like the Veepeak unit would do everything I needed. Do I need one of these specific units to get into BDC?

I have OBDLink +. And BDC is available

I coded the start up warnings and Memory Auto Start/Stop with Bimmercode the other day. Does anybody recall seeing an option related to seat belt chimes?

Yes, you can code off either front seat.
