I just did it yesterday, it works!

Also did:

1) Remove disclaimer
2) Video in motion + Additional codecs + video through usb
3) Alpina dash

Everything works great.

Ok...and who has done the two speed displays...and what was the result?

Thanks!

I assume you are on iOS? I wanted to try these out last night but the Android version was last updated Oct 5 and doesn't include these features. Hopefully it rolls out soon because I can't wait to code the start/stop memory.

Yes sorry it's iOS I'm on, it's showing as updated 2 days ago, hopefully not too long for Android as well

Is remembering Auto Start Stop tied to driver profile? So mine will stay off, and my wife's will stay on?

Auto Start Stop memory works!

Sure does -- as long as the engine isn't running when you code. Otherwise, you'll get a "coding failed" error.

Old-school ESys users like me, that used to take a lot of time to fire up (in my case) the VM that ESys ran on, connect the car, run Launcher Pro, then connect and run ESys are used to either leaving the car running and/or having it on a trickle charger.

It makes perfect sense, of course, that you can't change ASS memory while the engine is running. But until the author told me, I'd have had no way of knowing -- the app should instruct you to turn off the engine before coding this ECU.

BTW, there's also no help in the app for setting maintenance mode. To save yourself a Google search here's how: press the Start/Stop button three times quickly -- and wait for the display to indicate maintenance mode.

I strongly urge you all to put the car on a battery maintainer before you code.

One more point: ASS memory works really well. For example, if you have ASS off, then switch to Eco Pro (which turns it on) and then back to Comfort, ASS will remain off in Comfort mode. Even more impressive: if you turn the car off in Eco Pro mode with ASS on but ASS was last off in Comfort mode, it remains off at the next restart.

This is exactly the way the car should work from the factory, IMO.

I've only been using Bimmercode for last 4 months, picked up quite a few tips up from here, Always disconnect phone pairing if using Bluetooth adapter and put phone in flight mode, backup driver profile, connection initially done with engine running and then turn off engine and all goes through fine

Coding only takes a minute or so, can't see any issue with battery problems

One other thing I've seen is be wary coding anything that has a unknown value as you can't revert back to it unless using a back up

You can also save your Bimmercode backups through iTunes in case of a problem with phone updates deleting them

I've had 4 map updates since I got the car and always do those with car sitting on drive and off, they take over a hour and never had any battery issue

Zirenz2006 · 10-27-2018, 01:28 PM

I feel like an idiot but where is the ASS setting in Bimmercode? I am not seeing it.

EDIT: I found it in demo mode in FEM-01 but when I connect to the car it says that ECU is not supported.

I think FEM is for F series, it is under DME for G01

There was a iPhone update a few days ago that added it to the first page, no need to go into expert mode

If you're on Android I don't think the update is out yet

I am on Android, that must be it. Thanks!

The Auto Start Stop doesn't work for me. It says coding error. Anyone has the same problem?

Turn off your engine first.

RichM50d · 10-28-2018, 08:23 AM

I’ve always had the engine running when coding, even ASS on my X5. So now the engine has to be off?

verysideways · 10-28-2018, 08:51 AM

Ignition on (3 quick presses on the start stop button without pressing brake pedal)

Worked for me.

Just coded ASS memory and Alpina dash and tailgate not remote operable.

RichM50d · 10-28-2018, 04:01 PM

ASS coded this afternoon, plus digital speed displayed at all times.

Can you elaborate on the tailgate coding.
Which options settings did you change?
I tried this a while ago... but remote still works for tailgate.

It shouldn't be tied to Driver profile (not on mine that is - coded with bimmercode app). However it appears to be linked to Driving Mode. i.e. eco pro, comfort, sports

Does the Alpina coding work only on the M40i or the 30i as well? It looks like they have different gauge displays

On an F15, coding is in BDC, so it is fine and you should run engine.
On a G01, coding is in DME, which cannot be coded with engine running.

What is digital speed at all times?

Alpina works on any G-series with full digital cluster (6WB).

You can now have a digital speedo when driving in comfort mode.
