INDICATOR FLASHES ON LOCK/UNLOCK FOR BIMMER CODE F30

When locking and unlocking our automobiles, we can program the F series to flash the indicators many times. Today I’ll demonstrate how to alter this using some quite basic coding.

You can download the Bimmercode app for iOS or Android if you’d like to help us code this feature. Find out HERE if your automobile is suitable.

The Veepeak Bluetooth Adapter is recommended by the Bimmercode website for bluetooth phone connections.

The Front Electronic Module Category is where we’ll be doing our code today. When locking or unlocking, you will see that the indicator is flashing. You can choose the amount of flashes you want to appear in either of these two categories. To customize them, click code on the top right. So there you have it!

Describe the BMW coding tool.

BMW iDrive coding, in its simplest form, entails modifying your car’s software in order to unlock new functions or modify how existing ones function. Most of the time, such capabilities are already included into your iDrive by BMW; all that needs to be done is for coding to enable them. iDrive is already built to accommodate a rear view camera in cars that come equipped with one from the factory, therefore activating a retrofit kit merely involves unlocking those software capabilities. One example of such code is to activate an aftermarket backup camera.

Can BMW be tuned with BimmerCode?

Yes, they stay out of the way. ECU tuning is done with BM3, while other automobile modules are programmed with BimmerCode. I suppose that BM3 and BimmerCode are simply making the identical coding changes to that particular item in that module for common features like ASD. They do not interfer, indeed.

How can I program my car’s ECU?

  • Turn the ignition switch to ON while connecting the vehicle interface cable to the OBD-II connector.
  • Select Tools, then Detect Vehicle, after starting the ProECU software.
  • Program the engine control unit.
  • To determine the ECU version installed in the car, select Query ECU.

Does BMW coding void the warranty?

In other words, if you code feature A differently from the OEM condition and something goes wrong with it, and BMW knows you made an unauthorized change, they might not cover the repair under warranty.

Is programming an automobile difficult?

Coding is a configuration change made to the on-board computer. This is comparable to how a computer is set up. Nothing happens if you connect a printer to your PC using a cable. This is because a new device is now recognized by the PC’s software. however because the printer’s software is not loaded on the PC, I am unable to categorize it. Consequently, the printer’s software needs to be installed and enabled in order to utilize the printer through the PC.

In the case of our earlier illustration, the software of the automobile also needed to be activated to enable the unusual view camera. The camera will be recognized by the on-board computer in this manner. So, when the automobile is reversing, the monitor will show images of the region behind it.

Also, programming your own car is not that difficult. Many auto owners, though, might not feel confident making software changes to their vehicles. Several issues emerge if you wish to code your car but have no prior experience.

One concern is if the car is still secure after coding, which is an excellent query. Software system coding won’t have any impact on how well your car drives. Even after coding your vehicle, you can immediately drive it.

Deactivating certain of your car’s features, though, can endanger your security. Deactivating the uncommon view camera, for instance, if it genuinely improves your driving.

It is best to leave coding alone if you are uneasy and have concerns about potential consequences. There are a few guidelines you should go by if you are prepared to begin personalizing your vehicle.

Which automobiles is BimmerCode compatible with?

The 2019 Toyota Supra and nearly all BMW and Mini vehicles built in or after 2008 are supported by BimmerCode. Here is a comprehensive list of the vehicles that are supported.

Here is a comprehensive list of the vehicles and options that are supported. Please be aware that depending on your car’s software and settings, some of the mentioned options could not be available or might not function.

Car coding: Is it legal?

As you can see, figuring out if car code is legal is not always simple. Basically, as long as you do not break any applicable laws, automobile coding is legal.

However, even if the car coding is legal, you could still experience unfavorable effects. When the insurance company interprets automobile coding as a breach of contract and refuses to pay benefits, this is an illustration of this. Or if certain codings render your warranty invalid.

Before coding your car, we advise you to see if you are in violation of any laws or contractual obligations in order to prevent legal repercussions.

Is a BMW the same as a beamer?

It is technically wrong to refer to a “beamer car” (or “beemer car”). “Bimmer” is the proper term for a BMW car; “beemer” and “beamer” only apply to a BMW motorcycle.

How can I utilize the expert mode of BimmerCode?

Going into expert mode in the ECU you want to code is straightforward. In this case, above the Kombi, you simply search for each of the things using the search bar at the top of bimmercode, change each one to “aktiv,” and then back out one screen and select “code.”

What more does BimmerCode offer?

  • confirmation of lock/unlock sound. Set the audio confirmation of the car’s lock/unlock status to on or off.
  • acoustical lock confirmation checkbox selected.
  • length of the confirmation sound.
  • frequency of confirmation sound.
  • Volume of the confirmation tone

ECU coding versus programming: what are they?

While programming is the act of creating an executable program that can be utilized to carry out proper machine level outputs, coding is the process of translating and writing codes from one language to another. Coding is less daunting and time-consuming because it just deals with codes.

Worth buying BimmerCode?

I’ve set up the auto start/stop, modified the air recirculation settings, deleted the startup display warning, and added an additional exhaust noise setting to the menu.

And because I start the engine before fastening my seatbelt, the seat belt sound warning at startup irritated me. Since there was no other way, I emailed Bimmercode about it. They asked me to submit a support ticket, and the next day I was accepted to test a beta version that did away with the chime. With personalized support, everything operated flawlessly and quickly. They are worth every penny and I cannot praise them enough.

But because I didn’t read their website carefully and bought an OBD adapter that wasn’t entirely functioning, it ended up costing me more than I had anticipated. As a result, I now have multiple adapters.

What distinguishes BimmerCode from BimmerLink?

Seats, lighting, windows, and other features are handled by BimmerCode, while diagnostics are handled by BimmerLink (battery registration, clearing faults, pulling trouble codes, etc.). They coincide with the ASD feature by coincidence, but only BimmerLink can code out burbles and open/close valves.

What is BimmerLink capable of?

The direct connection to your BMW or MINI is BimmerLink. You can read trouble codes, view sensor values in real-time, check the health of your car’s DPF, or register a new battery once it has been changed using one of the OBD adapters that are supported. You may also remotely operate your car’s exhaust flap and Active Sound Design with BimmerLink.

Read and understand trouble codes. Only your Service Partner would otherwise be able to diagnose your car. BimmerLink enables you to read and clear fault codes from ALL of your car’s control units, in contrast to generic OBD apps that only read emissions-related issues.

DISPLAY SENSOR VALUES IN REAL TIME A wide range of values, such as oil temperature or boost pressure, are available from BimmerLink. With a customized dashboard, keep an eye on all the critical auto metrics.

EXHAUST FLAP REMOTE CONTROL* Use the remote control to choose whether to open or close the exhaust flap in your car.

ACTIVE SOUND DESIGN** Use BimmerLink to mute the Active Sound Design if you don’t like the synthetic engine noise your car produces.

In vehicles with an S55 engine, the “Sound Tuning” option enables you to turn off the “exhaust burble” (M2 Competition, M3, M4).

DPF REGENERATION**** BimmerLink gives you the option to check the status of your car’s diesel particulate filter right now. A regeneration can be started by pressing a button after learning the date of the most recent regeneration or how much ash has accumulated in the filter.

REGISTRATION OF BATTERIES Your car’s engine control unit must be informed that you intend to replace the battery, and BimmerLink now makes this possible.

SERVICE MODE FOR PARKING BRAKES The electromechanical parking brake’s servicing mode can be turned on via BimmerLink.

SECURITY RESET After performing maintenance procedures like changing the engine oil or replacing the brake pads, reset the service display in your car.

ESSENTIAL ACCESSORIES One of the approved Bluetooth or WiFi OBD adapters or cables is needed in order to use the app. Please visit https://bimmerlink.app for additional details.

Only for automobiles that come with an exhaust flap from the factory.

* Only for vehicles that come with Active Sound Design as standard equipment. Only for vehicles with the S55 engine (M2 Competition, M3, M4). Only applicable to vehicles with diesel engines.

BimmerLink is it a paid service?

The free versions of Bimmerlink and Bimmercode both offer some (very few) features, but they are about as useful as a catflap on a submarine.

Before buying the full versions, the free versions are useful for making if your car and OBD Adapter are compatible, but that’s about it.

BimmerLink – you can read the voltage and battery condition of a few sensors, but you cannot read or reset any error codes, for instance.

BimmerCode allows you to read the default codes for every module, but you are unable to make any changes.
