Here are the steps. Obviously faster if you have ENET and adapter

Thanks saved me the job!

Haha, no worries. Came from the BimmerCode thread anyway, so I can't take the credit

Did mine with Unicarscan. Easy to change the lights to 2 colours. Looks amazing. I changed to get an acoustic sound on locking. Nothing though, not a peep. Any ideas?

I have a 2020 M40i, its not an 3M. The digital dash ID7 is an option on the executive package in the US, and I have the coded to the Alpina dials.

Definitely cyan on the top. Red on top seems backward. We read left to right, top to Botton, so it should be Cyan then Blue.

I may experiment once I get my ambient lighting fixed.

JESUS, talk about pier group pressure

I'll try the other way round with the colours tonight and see what I think!

HA ! And I thank you for thinking of this color combo,

because all along I was using just a single color coded, because the stock "white with color" is just too boring.

That was sort of my thinking too. The red on bottom blend well with the other red details in the cabin.

Awesome post mate, and whilst I currently have red cyan, a switch is in order tomorrow 👍

I remember having this, there are definitely two places it needs to be set/enabled. Sorry can't be more helpful, will take a look when I get a chance and reply

I just coded this on my M40i and it did not work. The option is there in BC, I made the changes but it did not change the lighting. Rats.

You need to make sure you have your ambient light selected to Bronze in your Idrive which is the first option on top. Even though it says Bronze it will show the light color that you coded with BC.
