Is it just coding/flashing now? I thought you had to wire in a stupid emulator additionally?

Send me PM as i would like to see how your screen looks with their coding.
I am interested in the M cluster, and you sound legit, but what is a burble tune? Does this affect the car in any way, like voiding the warranty or affecting fuel efficiency?

Just purchased a M440i Gran Coupe last week. STOKED! also stoked to find a forum like this heh heh..

Burble tune is flashing different calibration data from another region that has more burbles.
It´s still BMW software and that´s why it doesn´t require an unlock.

Very Frustrating

I also noticed the change after the last software upgrade on my 2023 330ix LCI. The start up animation feature in the HG ecu is gone. Wonder if there are expert codes to do it? It sounds like for whatever reason BMW decided this was a nice feature to take away from us. Just hope they don't get the idea to start charging for specific unlocks!

Thats corny af esp for someone who was in here asking ppl how to do it
That's free enterprise... but the forum should not be exploited for selling services. There is probably something in the Ts and Cs about that. They should spend money with Google for advertising or see if a legit distributer is willing to risk their brand and customers with the "product". Just IMHO.

I haven´t done it myself.
In theory it´s just an old SWFK of a different region that still has burbles.

Search for Mrmegambo on instagram he does amazing coding work remotely. Anti dazzle, M display all that. I’ve seen him on the forums as well. Reach out and you won’t be disappointed.

MHD says they're working on updating idrive sport displays to scale with their OTS maps at some point this year. Hoping this will integrate natively with the new M Dash on iD8

Now that would be awesome! Currently, the only option is to install a module from AliExpress and lose gear numbers unless driving in manual mode

are you sure about that? Is there any additional information about the process? Apologies if it was mentioned already but I am not sure how this would be possible via xHP. I am wondering how much could it cost and how consistent everything looks for the options that are not available in 3 series vs M cars (such as MDM mode or gear numbers in auto mode)

yes in regular drive mode it will show gear numbers (e.g. D1 D2 D3)

Has anyone tried this on a G series LCI 330e? Will this work with the hybrid models?

got my M cluster module installed + coded in today. however my aftermarket chinese M1 M2 buttons no longer work, the way the kit is installed is that it splices in colored wires into my gear shifter console and then connects to a central module but now the buttons are unresponsive. anyone have this issue?


Edit: I have an LED paddle shifter kit from TDDCraft which comes with a companion OBD box that also has an OBD splitter wire. I had disconnected this to gain access to the original OBD port while doing the coding. Turns out once I re-plugged the OBD box back in the M1 M2 works again 🤦*♂️
