Bimmercode can´t offer the M Track view as it only works because the module is sending specific messages in your local bus.
This can´t be achieved through coding.

I know it was possible before to get the shift lights and the blacked out comfort mode screen but street address would be off center and sport M cluster wouldn't work. I see now M cluster with shift light is natively an option now. If you select that, is the normal comfort screen the normal 200 dash or the M cluster?
You need to flash the HU_MGU in order to make the M_Track module work correctly

Hi everyone,
I installed an aftermarket M Track module on my G26 (2022) and I’m looking for advice about the HU_MGU vehicle graphic/animation.
I flashed HU_MGU successfully and coded KOMBI4 + HU_MGU. Everything is now working as it should: M theme/menus, cluster M layout/needles, and drive modes behave correctly. At first the cluster view didn’t change, but that turned out to be just a loose connector on the module — once I fixed the connector, everything worked.
The only thing I don’t like is the vehicle image/animation shown in the menu: it displays an M3 (G80), not my G26. If I revert HU_MGU to my original G26 FA and/or set BAUREIHE = G26 and code normally, the vehicle graphic becomes blank (no car image at all). The graphic/animation appears only when G80 is selected/coded, which makes me think the M animation assets in this setup are only available for G80, and G26 has no matching asset so it shows an empty placeholder.
Is there a known way to keep the car’s correct identity (G26 FA) but still have a non-blank vehicle graphic (ideally G26, or at least a generic G2x graphic) while using the M theme / M Track functions? Any specific HU_MGU FDL parameters (inszenierung/animation/vehicle model graphic) or a recommended I-Step/HU firmware level that contains G26 assets?
Thanks in advance.

The M Track module you installed is the one from AliExpress, right? That’s a known limitation of these modules. This version, instead, works correctly and allows you to see your own vehicle.

Smile f40 mtrack

hello, on the topic of f40 mtrack, I tried to see what disturbs the display of fuel on the f40 120d when mtrack is inserted, I found out that when I code with esys (I don't have a launcher) Entwicklungsbaureihe=G080 and Typschlussel=31AY on DKOMBI4, the instrument panel works normally and shows fuel, but as soon as I try to code something with bimmercode (for example, the m mark on the panel), the coding succeeds, but the panel stops showing how much fuel it has in the tank.

I tried with bimmercode to see the parameters in TANK_EA and TANK_EE while everything is working and showing fuel, I read all the codes and copied them into the dashboard when the fuel is not working but it still doesn't show on the dashboard. in the picture you can see when it works ok but it says M3 above. it doesn't matter, I don't mind, I just want to let you know if someone is going to insert it into the f40.

When flashing the mgu, if you proceed without inserting the image of the M vehicle and excluding the deletion of the image of the original vehicle, you can use the graphics of the original vehicle.

Thanks, just to be clear — do you mean that during the HU_MGU flash, the original G26 vehicle graphic has to be kept and not overwritten by the M/G80 image?In my case, the car graphic only shows up when G80 is coded, but then it shows an M3/G80. If I go back to my original G26 FA / BAUREIHE=G26, the graphic becomes blank.So is this more about the flash/package content than normal coding? In other words, are you saying the original G26 graphic was deleted/replaced during flashing?If yes, which part are you referring to exactly — TAL flash, injected asset/image package, or some specific FDL setting?

When selecting the G26, the absence of an image means there is no image data, and I think it's highly likely that the flashing was done to include the G80 image. You can maintain the original vehicle image by editing what to use and what not to use during the TAL process.

And what part of the MGU does contain the vehicle image?

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for some help regarding an aftermarket M Track module I recently installed on my G22 (M Sport Pro). The module successfully brings up the M instrument cluster, but I'm running into a frustrating issue with my safety systems.

Whenever I switch to any driving mode other than the standard "Comfort" mode (specifically "Comfort Plus" or "Sport"), the module seems to trick the car into thinking it's in "M Mode: Track" or "Sport".

Because of this, all of my intelligent safety systems (Front Collision Warning, Lane Departure Warning, etc.) are immediately disabled. When I try to access the safety settings in iDrive, they are grayed out with the following message:
"Only possible in M mode Road"

The problem is, I cannot figure out how to switch the M Mode back to "Road" while driving in Comfort Plus. The safety systems are completely locked out unless I revert back to the basic Comfort mode.

Has anyone experienced this specific issue with these modules? Is there a hidden button combination (like holding the BC button, distance control, etc.) to manually toggle the M Mode back to "Road" so I can keep my safety features active while using Comfort Plus/Sport? Or is this just a known firmware limitation of these modules?

Any input or coding advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Look at the image. It looks like it was created using esys Ultra.

I've seen a lot of your posts on CS flashing on Cartec. They explain things very well.

I can't offer any advice since I don't know which product you purchased. It appears to be malfunctioning. Ask the buyer to send you another product and try exchanging it. It doesn't appear to be a software issue.

Your pm is full, I cannot message you. I would like to know if this fits the 2022 X3 M40i mild hybrid without changing the X3 graphics on the head unit or on the 360g camera view when parking.

yes highly advised whenever you mess with wiring. takes 30 seconds cant be any harm. you will need to disconnect and reconnect BDC module during module install

I bought the alibaba version the normal not the plus and my valves are not working. Anyone else have the same issue? Seller is saying it should have no impact on the valves. They say the plus version is just if you want the valves to open before warm start basically.

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 🤦*♂️
