BMW G20 Coding Door Handle LED's in Reverse

Hi All

I am hoping to code door handle LED's or puddle lights in reverse on my newly purchased BMW G20. I coded this feature on my previous F32.

Anyone know if and how I can code this preferably with Bimmercode App or ESYS as a second option?

Anyone know if this is possible on the G20?

This was a cool feature that was able to be coded on the F30/F32.

Wouldn't mind coding this on my G20?

Just received the following response from Stephan at Bimmercode on the door handle LED's in reverse for the G20 -

Hi,
This is not possible for the G20 unfortunately.

Hi,

First of all, both my retired F30 and my current G20 came with reverse activated door LEDs activated (G20 has a checkbox in the exterior light section of car that I checked); I did, however, do some research to offer some assistance to getting this neat feature activated.

On my F30, the FEM_Body module had 3070 LCIMaster>OVT_BEI_RuekFahrLicht set to aktiv. I used this function to search all 7 CAFDs for BDC_Body since G20s do not have either FEM or REM modules, but rather just the BDC_BODY module. Unfortunately, I could not not find any function with this function (or parts of it name); so I tried using the English "DoorHandle" with the function set to aktiv since my car came with these active.

Here's what I found for my car, all in CAFD 7083:
3001 EnergyManager section:
* EM_TRAMode_0x20_DoorHandle_Inh set to aktiv
* EM_FEMMode_0x20_DoorHandle_Inh set to aktiv

Here's what I found for my car in HG_MGU (CAFD 3E52):
3000 HMI_Speech:
* Door_Handle_Light set to aktiv

I offer all of the above for someone to check out on their car if the reverse activated door handle lights are not activated. Would like to know if that works or not

Hope that helps!

RSnic Those are activated in my 330i too. But it doesn't turn on when I'm backing up unfortunately.

VipinLJ ,

Hmmmm, am running out of ideas, but a dumb question -- and I apologize up front. You do have LEDs in your car's door handles?

No dumb questions here and no need to apologise.

If you're talking about the lights on the door handles, then yes. I do have them. They light up when I unlock the car. They stay on for a bit. One day, I thought those lit up when I backed up because I could see them on through the ORVMs. But I had to back up a wee bit and they turned off after a bit while I was backing up.

Damn I dont get it, why would this not be an option?

Using the 360 cameras at night is pointless unless theres light to see the surroundings.
