Does anyone here have any idea if it's possible to use ESys to code these settings (FDL-code them) in iDrive 6? Here's the link.

iDrive 7 has lots of new hardware, of course, but I'm betting the ASD amp is the same as the iDrive 6 models. It wouldn't make sense to revise it before an LCI.

Thanks guys you helped me too!

Successfully coded TPMS to FTM for those looking to ditch having to deal with the sensors during wheel swaps, etc.

Remove 2VB from VO.
Code NBT2, DSC, DKombi, and BCDBody.

Wha-lah!

Hey all.. I recently retrofit LED headlights on a 2019 X3. I added 552 to VO and coded both FLM modules. Now the headlights work fine but I'm getting these errors:

Right brake lamp malfunction
Left brake lamp malfunction
Reverse lamp malfunction
Daytime/Parking lamp malfunction

I'm not sure if these things are related to my VO coding or not. I've looked around for settings like IS_LED but can't find anything. Also there is not FRM module.. which is where I'd thing these settings would be. Does anyone have an idea what the issue could be?

you should recode the bdc body with the new vo

I think I recoded all of the modules but I'll retry just bdc body to double check..

Still no love. Maybe when adding the 552 option the car expects all of the lights to be LEDs?

[jimmyjohn]

Is it possible to code the car so that the key will not open up the rear hatch at all?

[bunderlogg]

how turn off seat belt monitoring in BDC_BODY to work seat heat w/o belt in?

Got this from other threads. Hope this helps.

Tailgate open delay using remote control: BDC_BODY2 30D0 --> RCM_Time_Delay_Bootlid --> Change the Wert_01 value from 05 (Default) to 20 (will be about 4 seconds) - try larger/longer values if you really want to be sure your pocket doesn't open the trunk. lo_cheng used 30 (~5s)...

remove the warm and cold check settings for the bulbs throwing the errors.

This is not what was asked for. Delay in opening the trunk is in BC in normal mode - no need to go to expert mode.

Not sure about coding, but can't you just open your key fob and disable the button?

This weekend I wandered through the EXPERT section of Beemercode (G01 X3 M40i) and found how to have fog lights STAY on when parking lights, or more importantly, HIGH BEAMS are on.

Yea...controversial that us silly 'mericans" want to have Fogs on all the time. I definitely do since I wholeheartedly subscribe to making myself as visual as possible when driving a $65K SAV (hehe).

First, must have Beemercode. Second, I did this with UniCarScan.

1. Go to BDC.
2. Click on EXPERT MODE.
3. Click on "Continue" when asked to confirm you want to "cause serious problems".
4. Scroll to "3075 LceMaster" and choose it.
5. Make two changes...
5a1. Scroll to "NSW_AUS_BEI_FL" and choose it.
5a2. Change from "aktiv" to "nicht_aktiv".
5a3. Click the back arrow to return to the "3075 LceMaster" choices.

5b1. Scroll to "NSW_EIN_AUF_LDS_STL" and choose it.
5b2. Change from "nicht_aktiv" to "aktiv".
5b3. Click the back arrow to return to the "3075 LceMaster" choices.

6. Go back to the main screen and click coding.

It worked for me. Fogs stay on when I go to High Beams. Awesome.

BTW...why is this the first time I have seen anyone post (other than Rolls Royce sounds) a way to update settings in Beemercode that are in Expert Mode? Share your findings, people!

Anyone find a way to do this with E-sys Launcher Pro?

just search for NSW_AUS_BEI_FL in BDC BODY

Didn't work. I think the issue is that it isn't mapping. Similar to what Yobyot experienced in post 550. I tried installing Java and making sure Net Framework 4.8 was installed, but it still doesn't map. I must be doing something wrong. If anyone has any other suggestions to get this to map, then let me know.

Hi, reviving this thread and hopefully someone can chime in.

So I have a 2018 X3 that has no "CarPlay preparation package" or whatever they call it from the factory. So that means no wireless antenna and I can't use the BMW Connected store to purchase/activate CarPlay, even if my phone is physically connected via USB.

Not having CarPlay is driving me nuts in this X3. I have IDRIVE6, and so I'm thinking what I need is the wireless antenna and some coding to activate CarPlay.

Am I correct in my thinking? Also, would it even be possible to just code and activate CarPlay and use a USB connection? Obviously I'd prefer the wireless CarPlay but I'm not opposed to a hardwire.

Thanks!

Just closing the loop on this. I was able to reach out to a forum vendor and get this coded into my X3. I'll post pictures in a bit.

Sorry I missed your post earlier. Happy you resolved it though.

Just to confirm. It can be done. The wifi antenna is an inexpensive purchase on ebay. Installing it takes less than one hour, and guts to remove the front panels and head unit (HU) to plug in the back. I did it a while ago, and posted my steps.

Enabling enhanced bluetooth, the next step before Carplay appears on the purchase menu, can also be done with BimmerCode (that's how I did it, and I also posted the items to change - though can't find the post now...).

All of this, I had found in various posts in this and other fora.

However, if the programming will be done well, it has to be done with e-Sys. This has the additional benefit of possibly coding the full screen Carplay. I did this yesterday in a remote session with Kubax86. (Big shout out to Kubax86 here - very clear instructions, fast and secure programming... boy is he fast on that e-sys)

Thank you! So I did end up buying the wireless antenna and plan on finally installing it this weekend. Can't wait. Thanks for the link to your guide.

Good luck ! It's mostly about patience, being careful with the plastic tabs. The rest, a couple of screws. Everything color coded...
