iDrive 7 Coding - Bimmercode & eSys
Thought I would start a new thread to cover programing X3 (G01/2) and iDrive 7. All MY2020 BMW X3/4s will have iDrive 7.
I understand the G05 X5's have had a number of challenges. Please post any successes / failures / challenges you've had with programming the 2020 X3/4.

I only did the tailgate coding mod, as thats pretty much the only option available worth changing.
I am using OBD MX+ and it took less than 1 minute to code the changes, and it works without any problems that I know of. I can no close the tailgate with the remote with a long press on the tailgate button, and also by holding the tailgate button on the driver door. Totally worth the $31.99 in app purchase for me. |

It is not possible and won't be possible since iDrive 5/6 is a HU_NBT2(NBT EVO) unit and iDrive 7 is HU_MGU(MGU) unit.

I can report BimmerCode has fair number of options. ASD is not there (probably as it seems reworked in iD7 and user has some control now). Anti-Glare still absent.
Present: Disable Seatbelt ASS Seat Heat options Window controls Easy entry controls Missing: Logo control Startup Screen ASD Disable Startup warning Disable volume popup AC Controls Didn't see any video in motion stuffs Sure there is more, that's just from memory. Of course iD7 is different and some options are now included - like engine noise. Still working on eSys stuff.. my image hasn't been used in a year and is not working correctly. Will be some effort to get going. Note, I did this from my iPad Pro with USB-C to eNet adapter to eNet-ODB connector. Was fast.

Confirmed VIM is still not available. There are a lot more options since I last posted the screenshot. But still no dashboard or display screen customization.

I'm struggling to get Bimmercode to connect. Using ENET Cable and Adaptor, airplane mode one, bluetooth disabled..... nothing works.
Tried the 3- quick presses of start button to enter diagnostics mode, but have no idea if this works as no confirmation anywhere (on Live Cockpit display etc) I've literally just collected a new MY20 X3 M40i |

Under Car: Settings: General Settings: Engine Sound
My problem is that it seems to do a combination of actual engine exhaust (via cutoff valve) and artificial engine noise pumped over stereo. I like option to run quiet, but I also want "Sport Natural", were exhaust is open but no artificial noise. I think I actually get this with my JB4. The JB4 has option to force Can Flap open (using blinker). That combined with "reduced" may do the trick. Now just gotta install JB4 - not a rush because I still have another 750 miles to go in break in.

I'm a huge techie and I love to have my cars coded exactly as I want them, so it's admittedly a head scratcher for me why you guys try to fiddle with this stuff yourself when someone like codemybimmer can do it for $100. They're knowledgeable, fun to work with, and incredibly competent. btw, I have no affiliation with them other than as a very happy customer. Here's the list of coding that they gave me for my MY20 iD7 X4 (I've had most of it done):
Comfort and Convenience Features • Windows to Close with Key Fob • Enable Windows to Close when Doors are Open • Enable Trunk to be Closed with Key Fob/Footwell switch • Enable Remember A/C Compressor Off Mode • Disable A/C when selecting Automatic Mode • Turn off Horn on Secure Feature when Locking with Engine Running Safety Features • Change Speed Limit Info Sign to ECE (Circle with Red Outline) • Enable Rear Camera Zoom • Enable Sideview Cameras at all speeds • Tire Pressure and Temperature Displays • Turn off Seat Belt Reminder for Driver/Passenger • Change Default Distance on Adaptive Cruise Control Instrument Cluster Features • Change to Alpina or M Vehicle Instrument Cluster Theme • Change Sport Theme from Red to Grey Lighting Features • Turn off Amber Side Marker on Headlights (Disabled with Anti-Dazzle HBA Coding) • Enable Anti-Dazzle High Beams • Enable Variable Light Distribution • Turn off Lights on the Off / 0 Position iDrive/Infotainment Features • Remove Start-up and Camera Legal Disclaimers • Change Start-up Logo to M Logo • Enable Xvid, OCG, and Xvcd Format Codecs for USB Video • Enable Video in Motion for DVD/USB Playback • Remove Speedlock Restriction for Mobile Office and User Manuals • Enable B&O DSP Setting (Harmon Kardon Systems with Logic 7 only) Drivetrain Features • Start car in Eco Pro, Adaptive or Sport Driving Mode • Auto Start/Stop System – Remember Last User Setting/Memory

Yellow ambient lights instead of bronze.

Only thing I kind of wished that we can replace any ambient light preset not only the bronze one. I dont care for any of the white added.
