Hi,
i have read through almost every page to find a preferably easy solution and could not find it. I retrofitted the electric tailgate function with original parts and bought bimmerutility to VO Code it.
After adding the the right FA i VO coded the HKFM and everything worked fine. I then thought i also need to vo code the KOMBI and HEADUnit module to unlock some iDrive Options for the tailgate (which it doesnt have) and since then, the displayed car in the KOMBI and HEADUNIT has a different color.

I tried VO Coding the BDC and KOMBI and HEADUNIT numerous times but it did not work. How do i get the right color back? I use ISTA D and bimmerutility.

Additionally i suffer another problem which i have for a longer period. After trying the m and alpina cluster but reverting back immediatelty because it it not working properly in my PHEV, i do not see a change in the cluster when switching from comfort to eco mode. Sport Mode was also missing but i managed to code it back, dont know how.

Here is how to change the color :
HU_MGU -> VEHICLE_COLOUR

Here is how to change the trim line model (sport, regular, other) :
HU_MGU -> TRIM_LINE

And for the driving mode view, verify you have selected this option in the iDrive :

Is it normal that BU overwrites the coding changes done previously with Bimmercode when you apply any new changes with BU?
I thought they'd access the same data with the currently active coding, no matter where it was done.
Is there a way to avoid this or am I doing something wrong?

Thank you, I will try it later and report. As for now, I checked the offline Version of Bimmerutility and trim line is showing me a lot of options, which are exclusively for exterior trim lines. Like my m sport package. Are they linked to the driving modes?
Because I am missing the Eco Driving Mode in the instrument cluster. When I switch to eco mode nothing changes, same colors and same design like the standard comfort mode. When switched to sport, the instrument cluster switches to red and the right gauge changes from percentage to rpm.

To "repair" it, normally you can VO-Code BDC_BODY3 (7083) and the HU_MGU. All your default driving modes will return.

If you VO Code with E-sys / BimmerUtiltiy, you will overide all codings. If you FDL Code, you will presever exisitng coding, and only update what you have changed.

For VO Coding you select the ECU itself, not the CAFD File.

VO = Vehicle Order

VO Code = Coding of all FDL's (100% of the ECU) to predetermined settings based on the Vehicle Order.

Connect => Read FA (VO) => Activate FA (VO) => Read (ECU) => Right-Click on ECU (the ECU itself not the underlying CAFD) => Select CODE.

FDL = Function Data Line

FDL Code = Coding of individual FDL's in an ECU, overriding the VO Coding.

Connect => Read FA (VO) => Activate FA (VO) => Read (ECU) => Right-Click on the ECU CAFD and select Read Coding Data => Expand the CAFD Folder by clicking + symbol => Right-Click on the CAFD file and select Edit <SvtCompareView.edit.fd.name> => Edit CAFD as desired => Click the Blue Floppy Disc Icon to Save CAFD => Click the green back arrow icon => Right-Click on the CAFD file => Select FDL CODE.

That said, BimmerUtility introduced a thing called "smart coding", which is FA coding without removing custom coding.

I can report that changing the vehicle color did the trick. Thank you very much.

As for the Driving Modes, vo coding HU_MGU and BDC_BODY2 (it is only showing this one) did not help. I am starting to think that there is no other “style” for the instrument cluster in eco mode. I even reset the HEADUNIT via ISTA today and it did not help.

Can anyone confirm that there are no changes in the BMW Live Cockpit Pro on a PHEV G30 when switching from comfort to eco mode? Or are there other options which I could try?

EDIT: While I am there. How do I change the wheels of the car in the head unit? Do you need to change the VO and VO Code the HEADUNIT oder is there a simple coding option like the one for the color?

Have you VO-Code the 7083 CAFD, in BDC_BODY2?

To change the wheel and trim, try to change this line :
HU_MGU -> TRIM_LINE

[Mandastar]

As far as I know, I can only right click on the HEADUNIT and click VO Code and that did not help.

According to some pictures I found online it is possible that there is no other style on the PHEV models, see the attached picture. I may only be missing the blue highlights left and right. I do see them but only in EV mode.

I will play with the trim options but for now I am happy that all functions are working.

Or to try the "Teach-in service function" under : Vehicle Management -> Service function -> Body -> Lighting

Here is a forum about that : https://f80.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1262553

Hey so update on this:

I already went through ISTA beforehand and got to the same point where I needed to diagnose by swapping the FLM. Hadn't had the chance to do that since was a bit busy and wasn't a priority. I did the same steps again more recently but still the same just couldn't be bothered. There was also no service function for relearning under Body, Lightning for the G20.

So I pretty much gave up.

But a few weeks later today I noticed there was no error any more and my adaptive seemed to work.

All I remember was

1. I had made sure it was VO coded as above steps
2. It was heavily raining and I drove fast so maybe something 'woke' up the levelling sensor or moisture sensor??
3. The most likely that fixed it, I think was that I held the volume/play/pause button down for 30 seconds twice in a row because my Bluetooth stopped connecting to my phone, this is actually common and fixes the BT problem, but I've never turned off the dash twice in a row. I did this while driving and then next time I started the car...no errors any more.
4. Last possibility is that its been quite a long time (around 6 months) so it just fixed itself somehow...

I then went to Bimmerlink and was finally able to clear the errors, they don't come up instantly anymore so fingers crossed it stays that way. And my aftermarket RGB DRLs still work.

Good news!

Hopefully, this solved your problem.

It reminds me of a problem I had with my FZD2 ECU, which wasn't correctly detecting when the doors were open. Basically, my instrument cluster was constantly showing that my doors and tailgate were open, even though they weren't. In the end, simply holding down the radio power button for 60 seconds, like you did, fixed the problem!

In fact, it's definitely not normal if you don't see the current driving mode in your instrument cluster, regardless of whether the display style changes or not.

Can you explain how you VO-coded your BDC? It's because the BDC contains several different CAFDs (Controlled Driving Devices). You need to make sure you VO-coded the correct one. If you're unsure, select them one by one and then VO-code them.

If you use BimmerUtility, you can send me your BUP file (a complete backup of your CAFDs) so I can take a look at it...

How can I VO code 7083 in Sas2? Missing this for some SLA coding options.

Thank you!

The CAFD 7083 is in BDC_BODY3.

Otherwise the CAFDs in BDC_BODY2 are: 17BC, 17BD, 1DF7, 1DF8.

[XbimG01]

Can't seem to get mine working. Not available in country. Set all land codes to FF but still not working.

Also, did anyone got lane departure warning working with just the kafas4 camera's?

Thank you

Przeczytałem prawie każdą stronę. Korzystam z BU od jakiegoś czasu, ale tylko sporadycznie, głównie do szybkich zmian w danych VO lub modyfikacji kodowania FDL. Widziałem też plik XML z kodem błędu dotyczącym zmian FDL w kontrolerach, ale nie wiem, jak go odczytać. Często dostaję pytania od klientów o to, co można zakodować w danym samochodzie, głównie w serii F i G. Wiem, że wiele zależy od wyposażenia samochodu. Ale czy w BU lub innym programie jest opcja, aby sprawdzić dostępne opcje dla danego pojazdu?

No, not posisble. Must look at car Options and hardware, and then have the expereince to know what is possible.

Ok, thank you. I found the link from GitHub but I don't really know how to reproduce it.:ukłon:

These are the cheat code files. Download the .xml file(s) and put in BimmerUtility Cheat code folder (e.g. C:/BimmerUtility/CheatCodes)

I just learned about BU the other day, going to use it to attempt to code out my upper and lower airflaps. Too flagged to use the extended warranty BMW provided
