It is only on when the turn signal is on. If you are always getting the audible warning then you are always at risk of striking a car in your blind spot when you change lanes.

Maybe I didn't make myself clear (or bad English), but I'm aware of how it works

MPA_MSP_VIEW_ENABLE — orange
MPA_MSP_VIEW_ENABLE — grau_weiss (grey)


Also there is so many crazy coding in that website, ill post more stuff later.

Ive coded the basic stuff already with no problems, but not finding these codes. Is this for M40i only? I have 30i Msport package, using android with OBD Link LX
Thanks

Can anyone confirm that it is not possible to add the audible sound to the rear blind spot warning? Thanks.

I cannot confirm that this is not possible, but I have never seen this on any BMW. I have asked my four friends with BMWs, and they also never heard of this. My guess is that this functionality is not built into the firmware, so it is not possible to enable something like this. Did you ask your dealer whether it is possible to enable sound warning when there is a car in the blind spot and you use your indicator signal (e.g., it works like this on MBs)? If that safety functionality is not possible because BMW did not "tie" the blind spot monitor to the audio system, I don't see how it would be possible to make the car beep based on the status of the blind spot monitor.

Great informative response, Gugin. I have not yet asked dealer but will upon my first visit. Thanks!

PS Car Toys installs the audible feature but they don't tie it to much of anything in the car. I think they supply computer, hardware, speaker, etc. Not what I am looking for.

Looking for slowing down the turn indicator flashing rate.... way too fast to my liking.... is achievable ?

[gugin]

Never tried coding it, but BDC_BODY (see post #1730) has an item called FREQ_BLINKEN_LED under 3141 DG_3141. Its value is set at 0.66 Hz. Try coding it lower. Maybe it will do what you are looking for.

However, let me note that indicator lights are not present on cars for the purpose of drivers' liking. They are there so that others can tell the driver's intentions. Because the rear indicator lights on US cars are not amber, if you set the frequency too low, other drivers may confuse your indicator lights for intermittent braking (assuming they are in the lane next to you and see only one rear light--the very condition when you want to make it crystal clear that you are about to change lanes or make a turn).

[gugin]

All,

Extracted SM (seat memory) module is attached. ICAM3 is next. Given my Wednesday work deadline, I'll post the file sometime next weekend.

Woo hoooo!! I can smell easy entry coming soon!!

Thanks heaaaps!!

I just tried coding with an ENET cable and Ethernet to Lightning adapter for the first time, holy shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit is it quicker than Bluetooth dongle!!

Reading BDC module has gone from taking nearly a minute to less than 5 seconds!!

It's brilliant, isn't it!?

[prototyp]

I’ve just been keeping the ENET cable and USB key (for driver-profile backup) in my center console... Took a quick look for any new settings in Bimmercode and coded Sport Individual as default while my wife popped into the post office. It really is just a matter of seconds.

Sport Indv with Sport for engine (throttle response + exhaust burble) and Comfort for suspension and transmission feels like the proper all-purpose around-town setup.

[GlazierGlaze]

Is it possible to code anti-dazzle through Bimmercode? Or the brake force flashing?

Thanks. Isn't it everything you are trying to change here is all about your liking ? NO ?

If you are in US and worry about that, then it's up to you and dont do it. I'm not in US and for the fact that my other brand car had led indicators and the flashing rate is almost half slower than bmw and was from factory. Hence the question.

I thought the forum has no police running around ??

[gugin]

Not police, just a different angle to consider. It happened to me one day when I was driving downhill next to a car, about to pass it. Its indicator light was so slow that I really thought it was braking on and off when it suddenly started moving to my lane.

Extracted ICAM (cameras) module attached.

[GoodGuyAvi]

Ok guys GoodGuyAvi is back lmao.


My Control display brightness are too dim at night. (No matter what u changing in idrive settings)
I usually don’t use my integrated idrive navigation however i leave my default screen in navigation 250mi away distance for the nice live wallpaper.

-Activate truly manual adjusting of brightness setting of Control screen.
(U can manually set up low or higher brightness (no matter of interior light sensor value in Option>Display settings>Control display>Brightness)

In Expert mode: NBT selection

search:

DIM_VARIANT

Set it to “Old”.

Code it
Enjoy it

AvetNY, can you help me out with this..
Having trouble finding these.
Is this possible with Bimmercode?

[gugin]

Yes. It's possible with BimmerCode. You must use expert mode. Go to DKOMBI2; go to the first branch called 3000 Anzeige_Konfiguration. Under it, find MPA_MSP_VIEW_ENABLE. Change it from grau_weiss (value 01) to orange (value 00).

Did you also tried to use the scroll button near the light switch? It changes the brightness of the displays (all of them, including HUD) during the night.

Thank you, I will try it later
