BEST G20 Coding Options found here

Just wanted to share my "curated" list of applied and verified/tested Coding options for my G20. I have had these running on my M340i for 14 months without issues.


STANDARD CODING:
================
-5 blinks turn signal. Standard coding

-Window lifter interruption when door opens, set to OFF. Standard Coding.

-Hazard Braking, set to Active. Standard Coding.

-Auto mirror tilt angle, from 70 to 50 deg. Standard Coding.

-Initial Seatbelt reminder, set to OFF. Standard Coding.

-Seat Heating Cooling setting memory set from 15 mins to 24 hrs. Standard Coding.

-Refresh Rate Digital Speed from 2fps to 5 fps. Standard Coding.

-Brake Force Display Activation speed from 5km/h to 40km/h. Standard Coding.

-Set ADAPTIVE as default driving mode. Standard Coding.



EXPERT MODE CODING:
===================
-Brakeforce blink tail lights. GEFAHRENBREMSLICHT_TYP from NICHT_AKTIV to BREMSLICHT_BLINKEND

-Disable legal disclaimer camera MACRO_CAM_LEGALDISCLAIMER from ID_MIT_TIMEOUT to KEIN_ID

-Close Moonroof when it rains:
HU ECU:
HU_MGU_REGEN_SCHKIESSEN from inaktiv to AKTIV
then in Moonroof ECU:
REGENAKTIV from inaktiv to AKTIV
REGENAKTIV_ROBUST from inaktiv to AKTIV
STATUSRCTIME to DEFAULTWERT
REGENPOSITION to GESCHLOSSEN

-Enable Exhaust Flap position configuration (open up Engine Sound in options menu in idrive)
in HU ECU:
Display_Configurability_Engine_sound from inaktiv to AKTIV
Display_Menu_Configuration_Sound from inaktiv to AKTIV

-Enable B&W audio (in HU ECU):
AUDIO_SYSTEM from alev3_ram to ALEV4_RAM

-Enable Cornering lights ALSO if high beams are on (FEM module?)
C_CLC_HIGHBEAM_DIS from disable (0x01) to ENABLE (0x00) 'note, I think these tags are backwards to avoid confusion in the interface? 0x00 is usually enable

-Disabled legal Disclaimers at startup. Prefer to do this in expert mode. In HU ECU:
LEGAL_DISCLAIMER_TIME from Ld_mit_timeout to KEIN_LD

-Enabled Speed limit info cushion. Gives me plus minus 5 cushion and configurable in iDrive even.
This has to be changed in HU and also in BDC. 4 changes total
VOFFSET from nicht_aktiv to GEN_2 (0x02)
VOFFSET_LANGSAM from nicht_aktiv to GEN_2 (0x02)

-Tweaked again cornering lights to trigger upon turn signal at even higher speeds
C_CLC_BLINK_V0 from0x30 to 0x40 (40 hex is 64 kmh dec, equals 40mph)
C_CLC_BLINK_V1 from0x38 to 0x48 (48 hex is 72 kmh dec, equals 45mph)

-Enabled tow hitch camera view in HU
MACRO_TAILER_COUPLING from inaktiv to AKTIV

-Fix for dimming with tinted windows:
Headunit - 3005 APIX_CID_UND_ZIN - DIM_CURVE_X2 – change values to 0x00, 0x00 (from 0x1F, 0xC0)
Instrument cluster - 3000 Anzeige_Konfiguration – DIM_TAG_NACHT_LICHT_EIN_ENABLE – change value to aktiv
Instrument cluster - 3005 FuBi_Parameter – DIM_DTN – change value to 0x5F (from 0x3F) seems better compromise for SOME dimming during dusk than 0x7F that forums said

Also, you can keep standard Hud in sports mode without coding. Check your settings in the iDrive

I just picked up a 2020 X3. The blinker sounds like it’s on steroids. Do you know if there is anywhere to change the volume? I found “Blinker_Volume” in one of the advanced/expert options. But oddly enough, that wasn’t it.

I apologize if this is not the right thread for this question. To be honest, rarely ever use forums.

Any/all help to eliminate the loud late 1970s blinker volume is appreciated Cheers.
