So if it is not the wifi I see, how will Screen Mirroring will work? DO you mean there will be a new SSID show up for screen mirroring after I complete the coding?

in short - it uses WiFi direct technology.

Does anyone know what the codes are for preventing the tailgate from opening when the car is locked?

The camera update blew away my coding and I'm anxious not to have my truck opening again.

I already coded the long delay on the fob open but wanted to be sure of not repeating my early calamities.

Thanks,
John

Front Wiper Rain Sensitivity

First time BMW owner...
One thing I find annoying is that there is no intermittent wiper setting
based on a time interval, only the rain sensor with low, medium and high
sensitivity settings.
What I find is that the sensor sometimes detects rainwater too early
and even sets the wiper speed to double-time when in reality,
the windshield view while wet, is still perfectly fine.

Is there a way to code the sensitivity of the rain sensor to be even less sensitive
than it is when set to the lowest manual sensitivity setting?

AFAIK nobody revealed that here. The delay is working for me so far.

There is a setting in BimmerCode to reduce the sensitivity. I haven't messed with it yet but I do agree with you that it could use to be adjusted.

I have done this and it does improve the intermittent wiper functon. The setting you have to go into is "Lighting" - "Rain-Light-Sensor sensitivity". Change the setting from Sensitive to Normal.

Thanks!
So the default setting for the Rain-Light-Sensor sensitivity is "Sensitive"?
I will code it to be "Normal" instead, (or maybe even "Insensitive").

BimmerCode, (in Demo Mode), listed it under:
Front Electronic Module: Lighting: Rain-light-sensor sensitivity

The options are:
Insensitive
Normal
Sensitive
Very Sensitive

I"ll probably wait to code this until after I do the camera recall software update since I'll have to redo all my previous coding anyways.

Thanks again, much appreciated...

You're welcome! Yes, in Demo mode the module is "Front Electronic Module" but I can't remember if that's the module it's under when actually coding the G01. I'll check when I get home. As I recall, the default setting was "Sensitive" and I switched it to Normal. It doesn't solve the problem completely, but it's definitely better (I now have more control over the frequency of the wipes).

Keep in mind that this setting also affects "Light sensitivity" which I believe controls when the auto headlights are turned on/off, dimming the instrument cluster lighting, etc.

You don't need to connect to WiFi network. just start the mirroring, and it will do its thing.

If you use a Samsung phone try SmartView app, or, my case, a Xiaomi Mi 9, Wi-Fi Direct app. It uses a wifi network but not the one that you see, imo.

Anyone coded ASD of in the X3M? Don't wanna pay for bimmercode if it doesn't do the X3M. The app comparability doesn't mention the F97/8.

unfortunately it only replaces the bronze, so yes, you have to code again to change the color

You can change any of the colors shown in the head unit to any RGB value you want. To be clear: you cannot change the name of the color that is displayed in the head unit; you can only change the RGB values underlying that name. Look at BDC_BODY2, branch 3074 LciMasterColor.

In "normal" mode you can only change the color, which is presented when selecting "Bronze".
