Stephan adds it to the release version once he finds that no bugs exist. It usually takes a few days after launch of the beta version.

I’ve coded a few things without drama or issue. However during one coding session I forgot to turn off CarPlay on the phone and put it into Airport Mode yet everything still coded and worked.

Why is it recommended to do at all?

Just in case. If someone calls you and the coding gets interrupted it might ruin something.

Hi,
I'am new to Bimmercode, I bought the full app and coded the M startup animation on the idrive, but it only makes the animation when disconnecting, on startup it does not show the animation...
It is already possible to code the change lane assistant and the enchanced bluetooth?
Can someone tell me where I can find the options to code for other features
Thanks for the help...

phillyd2 ,

I also take off my Fitbit watch & turn off car's Bluetooth-- again so there is no possible Bluetooth interference

Hope that helps!

Vandaag software update 2020-07 gekregen in mijn G20. Omdat er een aantal coderingen ongedaan zijn gemaakt moet ik opnieuw coderen. Helaas werken er nu nog maar 2 modules: Active Sound Design en Memory Auto start.stop :-( Ik wacht dus met smart op een update van de app om dit te fixen...

Got software update 2020-07 in my G20 today. Because some codings have been undone I have to code again. Unfortunately, there are now only 2 modules working: Active Sound Design and Front Memory Auto start/stop :-( So I am eagerly waiting for an update of the app to fix this ...

lance666 & 1erbn ,

I had my car in dealer for service & had software updated to v07/20.45. All my coding was gone; I discovered with my last car, as well, that whenever software is updated, car goes to factory reset, therefore, coding is lost.

Having said that, however, I recoded everything I had done previously (except lane change Assist because Bimmercode doesn't have SAS2 module yet) without any problems.

Before starting Bimmercode, did you make sure car was in diagnostic mode (push engine start button 3 time quickly without touching gas)?

BTW, I switched from Bluetooth OBDII adapter to Enet cable with LAN to USB-C adapter; this connection is much, much faster

Hope that helps

question about bimmercode, it is for tweaking settings, but does it give you enabling of features you did not buy, too? pm me if that is better.

I am using version 3.12-7043 on my Samsung S8 (Android) phone. I am a beta tester so it may be a little different than what you have

I’m trying to do this which is the only reason I bought this app. I was going to go into expert mode but there was a warning that I wasn’t sure I wanted to mess with when I clicked “expert”. If I agree to go into expert is it pretty easy to code assisted driving view?

Never mind, I figured it out. Now if I can just get my climate control rules back since they disappeared with the last update from the dealer.

lance666,

My car received software update 07/2020.45 a few weeks ago. Of course, all of coding was gone, but I used Bimmercode to re-code all of it, but Lane Change Assist (because Bimmercode doesn't include SAS2 ECU yet).

BTW, this update included both Driver Seat Heat & Steering Wheel Heat Climate rules so I didn't have to code

Hope that helps!

Mine was just updated at the dealer due to the ABS/DSC control module having a internal fault. All my coding is gone and when I go to connect with both the Bimmercode recommended enet cable and RJ45 to lightning adapter with iPhone XR I can't get it to connect at all. Made sure airplane mode and WiFi was disabled. Even tried using the Vgate vlink WiFi adapter which didn't work either. Tried my old iPad mini with the same set up. I can connect but I can't code much in expect mode or in several modules for example I can not access the BDC. The enet OBD connector is really loose when plugged in. Really am missing sport + and the other feature I had coded.

I'm thinking the samething. But isn't it weird I can connect with the cable and old iPad but I can't with my iPhone XR? I checked what version both the XR and iPad have currently. Both have 3.6.1 which is from two months ago. Also having similar issues with BimmerLink.

Yup. Definitely weird. Are the iOS versions the same on both phone and tablet?

The XR has the latest update. The iPad doesn't because it's not supported any longer. Time for a new iPad.
