Tyre pressure and temp ‘widget’ in instrument cluster Comfort+ Disable camera warnings Added equaliser/bower Wilkins presets Video in motion Whereabouts is the audible lock Volume option in normal mode? I can’t seem to find it. Going to make a cheat sheet I think and make it public so we can keep a list. |

By the way for those interested in coding the ambient lighting then have a look at this thread. It is possible to do it in expert mode. It takes a while to get your head around but once you figure it out it's actually not that hard. I've just coded mine today to replace the Bronze/White profile with a Blue/Red Let me know if you need any help. |

Would anyone be able to comment if you can adjust the weight of the steering? Not asking for the 3 series specifically but for my Mini which I imagine is very similar in terms of the coding.
TIA. |

What about OTA updates. Do you lose the coding after the car updates? Or are they disabled by default after coding? Because I wouldn’t want to lose the OTA updates...

You will lose the coding after an OTA update. I am not sure if you can disable OTA updates via coding.

- Don't update the car's FA. Just modify it in esys without ever writing it to the car - Revert all code to stock prior to a scheduled dealer visit - Clear all error codes prior to a dealer visit - Don't code any cosmetic changes like boot logo's - if it stands out as odd it will draw suspicion. This is for the unscheduled dealer visit scenarios Others will say there is no risk with coding, purely because they have never had an issue to that point. I prefer my approach. |

And I would agree. I like fiddling and did a lot of coding on my F31 (some of it like speed display and puddle lights utterly pointless, but if it's there to be fiddled with) and also on my A6 using VCDS. The most useful on both was the single fob keypress to shut the tailgate and I was about to do this on my new G21 but since reading that I've decided that holding the button works for me. The car is leased so not mine, strictly speaking, and if it got warranty blacklisted due to me pissing about the financial consequences could be far-reaching. I'm glad I didn't fire up ESys now. Anyway, anyone thinking of coding should be aware of possible consequences.

I can fully understand (and agree with) blacklisting remapped cars, and to some extent cars with modified geometry (spacers etc), but removing warranty because someone has changed a logo on the dash during startup seems a bit extreme.
Seems harsh to penalise someone for just enabling/tweaking something they ship in their code.

I think everyone would agree but from the manufacturer's POV tampering (at whatever level) potentially destroys Type Approval and would foster a suspicion that an "enthusiastic amateur" could have buggered up all sorts of checksums and so on. It's good that more and more configurations that used to need coding are moving to iDrive options and the ones that are not (e.g. video in motion) probably shouldn't be messed with in the first place.

I can just imagine the fall-out on my lease: the agreement specifically mentions "no modifications or alterations" and I could just imagine taking the car to the dealer for an entirely unrelated issue and them advising Alphabet (the owner) that warranty was invalid unless <insert sum here> was paid to revert the car back to normal or even worse, that no warranty would be accepted in any case, and then the legal wranglings one would have with Alphabet - regardless of if the coding was "trivial" - when I had explicitly and specifically agreed, in writing, not to "modify or alter it". Could be ruinous.
I'll hold the button on the fob to close the tailgate... If you're out of warranty and / or own the car then it's entirely different but I think it is wise to be aware of potential banana skins if not.
