How To Code Enhanced Bluetooth BMW?

BMW / By

The process of coding to activate Enhanced Bluetooth is simple, quick, and secure. You won’t even need to leave your house to enable Enhanced Bluetooth because it doesn’t involve any physical modifications to your car. It also takes less than an hour. Learn more about the BMW USB and cable coding procedure offered by BimmerTech.

In order to find out if your BMW is compatible with USB or cable code activation, enter your VIN here. The website will then provide you with the information. Even more iDrive coding options can be added to your purchase, enabling multiple new capabilities at once.

Alter the order of the vehicles

The first step is to decide whether option codes—6NS, 6NK, or 6NL—will be compatible with your BMW iDrive system.

The head unit’s version can be found after reading the ECUs with E-Sys:

Open the FA-Editor and enter 6NS, 6NK, or 6NL in place of the 6NS option code. Return to Expert Mode – Coding and code the modules listed below:

  • HU xxx (NBT, CIC, Champ2, Entry, EntryNav)
  • CMB MEDIA (if present)

The Bluetooth option 6NH is not listed in the car order because it comes as standard equipment on select models, such as the F15 X5. You only need to add the 6NS option code in this situation.

How can I tell whether my BMW has improved Bluetooth?

To connect your phone and car:

  • Launch your BMW as usual.
  • Go to the Bluetooth menu on your phone and look for nearby devices two minutes after you start your car.
  • Select the “BMW” device you see when you see it.
  • Put in your BMW Bluetooth pairing code when requested.
  • For verification that pairing was successful, check your iDrive menu.

Can I use Bluetooth to play music in my BMW?

Choose your BMW from the Bluetooth menu on your mobile device. Your iDrive 7 screen will validate the pairing request as the two start to pair. Press Yes after making sure the PIN on your iDrive 7 screen and mobile device are identical. The BMW iDrive 7 system and your mobile device are now linked via Bluetooth.

How can I tell if the BMW I own has combox?

You may learn how to use your BMW head unit by watching the video below. If your map data version has “Premium” inscribed on it, your head unit is a CIC.

CIC (Pro Nav) – If your car has a CIC head unit installed, you’ll need a factory-installed combox.

The carpet in the boot must be taken out in order to determine whether your automobile has a combox installed (please do not ask us to check via VIN, please follow the steps below).

  • Open the boot and remove all of your stuff before continuing.
  • The boot liner carpet readily pulls out, so remove it completely and lay it down.
  • The flat supporting hard board in the boot should be removed, not just lifted up.
  • The item circled on the left in the image above is the combox (just forward of the battery). A fuse box will be visible to the right if you are searching in the proper spot (just forward of the battery).
  • You don’t have a combox if the area to the left of the fuse box is empty.
  • If the combox in the circle is installed. Great! You can be coded.

Unfortunately, due to the length of time and complexity of the installation, we do not refit comboxes.

The cost of the coding retrofit, PS91.67 + VAT, remains the same if the combox is already in place. For PS91.67 plus VAT, we can currently add this extended Bluetooth option to your car. Simply phone one of our team members at 0118 958 3481, and they will schedule you.

Please go back one set and check out one of the other tutorials if you have Next, Move, or Motion.

What can be programmed with Bimmercode?

  • 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

Can I use my BMW to stream Spotify?

While driving, BMW lets you connect your active Spotify account. You may use Spotify on your iOS device and connect the app to your BMW to use it just like at home.

How can I operate the Bimmercode expert mode?

Your car can be coded in one of two ways: The expert mode is designed for seasoned users who are familiar with coding and have specific knowledge, while the basic mode makes it simple and convenient for you to code the most common coding alternatives. Generally speaking, expert mode is not necessary, and basic mode offers all often used choices.

  • As stated in the chapter “Connecting,” connect to the vehicle.
  • Tap aConnecta to select your car type from the list that is provided.
  • A list of all supported control units is then provided when the control units in the car have been identified.
  • A control unit can be chosen from the list.
  • Make the necessary modifications to the chosen control unit. A list of the supported coding choices for your car may be found here.
  • To begin the coding process, tap aCodea.
  • When the code is complete, a success message is presented.

Incorrect use of expert mode can result in major issues with the vehicle. Use of this function is at your own risk and is only meant for seasoned users with specialized understanding.

  • Selecting aExpert mode will activate the expert mode.
  • Make the necessary modifications to the chosen control unit.
  • There is no need to be concerned, even though the car may indicate problems after coding. This is very normal, and if you turn the ignition on and off again after a little while, the faults will go away.
  • You might need to reset the time and restore user-defined settings on the iDrive system in the car, depending on the control unit.
  • The average consumption is reset when the instrument cluster is coded, therefore the remaining range may show an odd figure. The situation will return to normal after a few driving cycles.
  • After instrument cluster coding, the outside temperature reading can show an odd value. In time, this will return to normal.

Please follow these steps if a coding problem occurs:

  • Restart the iOS or Android device and the adapter after cutting off the connection (disconnect and reconnect).
  • Open BimmerCode and establish a connection as instructed in the aConnectinga chapter. In order to prevent outside intervention during coding and prevent issues, kindly adhere to following directions precisely.
  • Choose the particular control unit. A red dot is used to indicate erroneous coding data.
  • Utilize a backup as suggested in the chapter aBackupsa to restore the coding data.

What on BimmerCode is cost-free?

According to the website, in order to verify the app’s compatibility with your model, you must PURCHASE it. You can only check the control modules for your supported car that are “code-able” in the “free” version of the program.

Can BimmerCode be used on many devices?

Yes, you can use the app on numerous devices without having to pay again. However, a purchase made on one platform (iOS) cannot be transferred to another (and vice versa).

That’s not possible, no. The full edition must be purchased again for the new operating system because the purchase is linked to your Apple ID or Google Account and cannot theoretically be transferred.

If I updated the device or reinstalled the program, how can I get it back to its original state?

If you already paid for the full version on iOS, you can get it back by utilizing the aRestore purchasesa option in the app’s settings. Make sure you are logging in with the same Apple ID that you used to make the initial purchase. More details on this topic are available here.

Please be sure to use the same Google ID for Android that you did for the initial purchase. Then the full version will be instantly restored.

Please confirm that you have completed the following tasks for iOS:

  • Verify that you are logged in with the Apple ID that you used to make the original purchase.
  • (iOS settings > iTunes & App Store) Log out of the App Store and then log back in.
  • Install the app again
  • Restart your iPhone or iPad.

Please confirm that you have taken the following steps for Android:

  • Verify that the Google account you used to make the initial purchase is the only one set up on your device and that you are logged in with it.

For BimmerCode, is an adaptor required?

All you require to use BimmerCode to code your automobile is one of the approved OBD adapters. Please be aware that not all supported cars can use every adapter. Please check here to see if your vehicle can use the adaptor if you’re unsure.

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.
