4 plus years down the road and these videos are still helping people, including me. Thanks for doing what you do sir.
You bet man, i need to make updated ones since some of the info is past. But Im glad its still helping!
Haha same 😂
Are we still using the same adapter guys?
Good job on the video. I’ve been coding for about two weeks now and I love it. It’s fun making the car your own.
Just bought the BimmerCode license and have the adapter, super pumped. Had my ‘16 f30 almost exactly a year I can’t imagine loving it anymore than I already do. Thanks for the awesome tutorial! 🙌
ditto
Any problems with bimmercode? I have an 2014 f30 328i and want to do this to my car
Which adapter do u use
@@derekg238 I haven’t experienced any issues
@@princeelly9155 I used the Veepeak Bluetooth
A comprehensive guide to getting your feet wet with bimmercode, if you guys have any general questions, drop them below! 👌🏽 UPDATE: DO NOT USE VGATE. USE VEEPEAK, link in description.
You didnt mention bimmercode charging for the app.
J T it costs money.
@@ThicWhips IG - jeronthompson89 ...I am no stranger to money.
Coding while the engine is on wont harm it?
@@hachmouma I did it while on. Didn't harm a thing.
John, you’re the man. These videos are saving my life right now. You’re easy to understand, easy to watch with great information. Many thanks brother 👊🏼
Bro you're the man...what i just watched is a real book tutorial on how to use bimmercode. Great job and content.
Wow straight up forward, DIY coding video I haven't ever seen. Thanks for the info bro🤙
WOW thank you guys, I just got my OBD2 Bluetooth Adapter today &.....................................I just coded my 2014 X5M, what i was aiming for, was Bluetooth enhancement, it was super easy, you have saved me money. But now that i see what i can do with that i will tweak my baby to my liking.
Flawless guide. Grabbed Bimmercode, the Veepeak BLE with your discount and coded some much needed updates to my F34 in 5 minutes flat, thanks!
Hello Pdx dbo .How did you get a discount for the app? I will be using iOS for the Veepeak BLE II
I ordered mine today. I got my car programmed by a guy two years ago. Never knew about this. Have been looking to order this for a while. I am already excited lol. I listen to music very loud and I forget to lower it for the morning. Lol my niece wakes up dancing early morning coz of my loud music. Hahaha
keep on bringing these coding and moding tutorials brother, great videos!!
I found this to be very informative.
Also great presentation and clear and easy to understand.
I would like to see a E 46 modernization to use for a tutorial for my build. Like a paddle shift illuminated steering wheel.
Maybe you could challenge yourself to extract power from a N52 318i by means of a sc14 supercharger or perhaps a turbo N52 E46.
@Bimmer-Schmiede Does the x-drive on the F20 also go out with the Bimmercode app (iOs) and the OBDLink CX Bluetooth interface?
Loved how you explained everything and also appreciate what obd you used . Very helpful video
Got it, love it, thank you for the advice and instructions!!!
Thank you! Great vid. I just bought the VGATE 4.0. Can’t wait.
The newest version of the application supports more functionality on more vehicles, but requires the UniCarScan Bluetooth OBD adapter or the ODBLink adapter for some features, such as Brake Force Display on a G01 X3 for example.
This absolutely helped me a ton-thanks brother.
@donony how’s urs holding up ?
@@jordansteele7799 worked well while I had the Bimmer, but I no longer have it .
@@DonnyGT any major problems or just wanting to change
@@jordansteele7799 no problems at all, just the weather here in the Midwest, so I needed a more rugged vehicle for the winter and terrible roads.
@@DonnyGT I feel you , I live in Midwest too, so I’m either getting this or Nissan Maxima .
Been wanting to code. After watching your video, I ordered my Vgate today! Can’t wait to code my 2015 535i! Just subscribed to your channel, keep up the good work. Thanks!
have you done the dvd in motion?
Hello Stacked550i may I ask how was the vgate so far?
@Bimmer-Schmiede Does the x-drive on the F20 also go out with the Bimmercode app (iOs) and the OBDLink CX Bluetooth interface?
Awesome. Thank you for the clarification. Much appreciated.
Ordered a Veapeak yesterday and it arrived today. Will be trying today on my 435i. Let's see how this goes..
Great video! I'm new to bmw. Are there any risks involved in coding your car? To me it seems like a way to "jailbreak" your car just like people do to phones. I suppose you brake the warranty...? Could you potentially ruin something? Like, if you lose connection in the midst of rewriting coding.
Great video. I was literally goi g to pay someone to odd my new BMW. I’m going to try it myself. Bro. Subscribing now 👍🏻
Thanks for the tutorial! I didn't pick up on what you said about the error message at first, so I freaked out a bit when I received one.
Just rewatched the tutorial and am quite relieved now :) thanks!
Which one did you get I got chassis stabilization malfunction when codibg
I had an error about the traction control. Luckily never saw it again (touches wood)
Great video. Well done. I have a BMW 530D G30 2022, and coded the Type pressure & temp to active, but still do not see it on my display. Is there any other code I need to add to display this function?
Brother thanks for your vids! Super easy to follow and made my car twice as fun.
Dude I’m so thankful I just found the channel! Subscribed! :)
Eco pro coasting is awesome though. I also don’t use other modes until the engine heats up. Definitely using start in eco pro mode
GREAT VIDEO...question what does unassigned value mean? Also, I have another question..just ordered the VGATE, and going to get Bimmercode. I have a fully loaded X2 and want to have my mirrors fold automatically when I lock the door. Now, I have to hold the button which is annoying. Do I set the delay on 0 or is the option to close them automatically? I see from the video the last option is "unassigned"...thank you...I cannot seem to get a straight answer from all the posts I read
Just got mine a did a few upgrades already, simple stuff but very helpful. Thanks bro!!
Did you have to pay something? i mean just for simple coding like start and stop deactivation...thank you for your reply in advance.
Darius Dmc yeah bro! 31$ for the full app
but can you code the start and stop for free?
Darius Dmc I tried to do different coding but every time I hit code it told me I need it the full app!!
ok I understand, thank you for the information...
Awesome videos.
Question
Is it possible to make the auto off function on the head unit go away. If I am in drive in bio it drives me nuts. 10 minutes of music before it shut down.
Regards from Denmark
Hi mate thanks for all the vids really helpful. I have now tried the Vgate pro and now another adapter both not working. I can’t connect via blue tooth. Any ideas on how to fix this.
You're the man. Thanks
bro... thank you so much. looking forward to do this in my f21 m sport.
Already ordered vgate after I saw your couple of video...eagerly waiting to code my X3. Keep it going man 👏
Is vgate still work with bimmercode?
@@1111vladan I used vgate few months ago & it worked fine. But I can’t give you the very latest information.
Great video bro!! 👍
jusr finshed coding my f30!
thnx john!
Where did you get your adapter
Best video on the app tbh
Just did my first coding. this app is great and easy to use!
Ryan Martin is the DVD in motion a free feature in the app or you have to pay for the full app?
Thanks man! That was quick and clear.
Top video mate, I've watched a bunch of your videos since buying my first Bimmer a couple of weeks back. Quick question, if I make changes using this app and at some point take my car into the dealership for whatever reason, will they override any changes I make once they connect to my car? Also I'm wondering if making changes nullifies extended warranty, can any one tell I've been hacking the car 😊. Also with so many changes possible you have to wonder why BMW doesn't offer these options to their customers,...
Can you code multiple multiple things at once i.e. folding mirrors and sports transmission?
Great video. Question: I had bad internal wiring on my right xenon headlight. 2008 E93 328i. I bought a new assembly but the hi low bulb still does not work. I tested with drivers harness and it does. I was told it needs a relay reset. Will this app do this or will it have to be in expert mode. I have been trying 6 months to get this headlight functioning. I even bought a BMW coding hard drive for a laptop but the tutorial is blurred.
Hey man! Great video. Can I code a new battery with different specs from my old one with BimmerCode? I know I need to register it with a different app but I really need something that can code the DME for the new battery specs. Another video I saw that used BimmerCode had "Car Access System" in the main menu, which is where he was able to change the specs for his battery. BUT, I don't see it in the menu on your live screen. Any advice would be awesome!
For the comfort opening/closing. I have mine set up just like you have yours but mine won't fold the mirrors in with the key fob. Only if I lock the car from the door handle. Know what else I can try? And the comfort closing start delay is set to no delay as well
I noticed that you mention Kies Motorsports. I own a 2018 X1 F48. It's a 2 litre twin scroll Turbo 4 that produces 228 HP and 248 TQ. I'm interested in the Burger Motorsports JB4 Tuner and a CAI. Do you need to have this unit plugged in to the ODBII port all the time. What do you do when you're vehicle is under warranty and you need service at a BMW dealer? Do they give you a hard time?
I have a 2013 E70 X5 50i. I was wondering if Bimmercode would allow you to change the combox settings after upgrading from the 2g to the 4g Combox. I'm not sure which category that would be in on this Bimmercode app.Great video, by the way.
Great video! Thanks! I have a 2016 Z4. My mirrors have flashing turn signals. Can I recode them to be sequential with BimmerCode? Thanks!
Will this work on an 06 3-series? i seem to see conflicting info on it
Excellent Video!! 2 Thumbs up
Thanks again for all of these videos !
you have such great contents bro! I'm glad i found this channel!
Just ordered a BMW and find your videos on how to use Bimmercode to be very informative. I have one question, after the coding is complete there is a message stating for G series cars to stop and restart the diagnostic mode. I take it that means to disconnect and reconnect the app. Thanks.
Hi! Thanks for the video! TONS of help! Question, I have a G12 and when using the obd2 (the one suggested below.. although it now looks different than yours) all of the Bimmercode options aren't available. Should I be using another obd2 adapter?
Hey did you ever figure this out I'm having the same issue
Do you run your phone in airplane mode to limit the possibility of interrupting the coding?
Great tutorial!!
Great video man thanks
Thanks for the video. Didn't know this was an option. It's a much easier solution than using a laptop to the OBDII. Will be buying the app as soon as my vGate comes.
Thank you for this video. I got my 2018 340i a month ago, and it drove me nuts that my mirrors didn't fold in when I locked the car. I had a button I could hit, but couldn't understand why there was an option to make it automatic. I watched your video, bought the Veepeak adapter and Bimmercode app for about $65. I had it set up in 10 minutes! Wonder what BMW would have charged lol. Thanks again!
Bro you can literally change that in the settings
Its in the settings
@Bimmer-Schmiede Does the x-drive on the F20 also go out with the Bimmercode app (iOs) and the OBDLink CX Bluetooth interface?
Are you able to code your vehicle so the doors will unlock when you touch the door handle if your car does not have that feature currently ?
Greetings. I just had a new ECU installed by Mini in our 2015 R57 Convertible. I don’t want to screw anything up but is there a way to code my headlights so they come on when you unlock the car and stay on (say for 30 secs or so) when you pull in your driveway; shut off the car and lock it? Unfortunately I purchased a Blue Driver Bluetooth but now I am using a Lufi XF Revolution and I have an ICarSoft EU Pro scanner for diagnostics so I would have to but the I Car Pro for BimmerCode app (yes?). Thanks… Gene; Atlanta Georgia.
Hey John is there an option to upgrade from ID6 to ID7.
Hi there, I have a BMW F22 M235i early 2014 model. It can’t show coolant temperature on dashboard, could it bee passable to show coolant temperature through the BimmerCode?
Could it code your foglights to be on with just the parking lights or just always on?
Awesome video man!! My BMW self leveling air suspension, do you know if it's possible to set up the suspension height with this device and app? thank you!
I'm thinking of getting this done in my BMW, but i'm not sure if it will work. I want to do the folding mirrors feature but my car doesn't originally have a button on the side to fold the mirrors and they do not fold automatically. It is all manual.. The same with the boot, I have a button on the car key that is suppose to open up the boot, but it doesn't work as the boot is not automatic. Will this coding be compatible with my car?
It's BMW series 1 M Sport Shadow Edition 2019
I will be purchasing a 2002 E46 and this video was perfect timing.. thank you dude! 👍🏻✌🏻😎
Will it work with elm327? On E91 2011
let me know if i am wrong, as i understand if i buy this adapter and download the bimmpercode program i can connect to adapter and change the settings of my car? i have a stock f30 316i btw
it works only with I Car Pro ? or the app can find any other obd2 adapters?
Does this OBD and software works for the Mini Cooper F56? Greetings from Brazil 🇧🇷
Can you use Bimmercode to program a new module to your car ? I need to replace the REM and it's probably going to need programming.
Hi, which adapter can I use for my BMW 520D M SPORT 2019 ? Please assist...
Kinda new to stuff like this, recently bought an already tuned car and was wondering if using bimmercode tampers with the tune in anyway (the “resetting the ecu” is what’s getting me thinking)
Can i activate some of the features, even if my car doesnt have them? Can i mess things up if i do so?
Is there any chance this can read faults and reset as well?! If not what app would you recommend. Lovely review and on point thank you.
Is it necessary to upgrade to the pro version or can these operations be done in the normal version ? (bimmercode)
Hey John, can you please advise which ODB connecter I should purchase now, I watched another video on RUclips the guy used Vgate WiFi adapter and someone commented that’s no longer available on the bummercode app, please provide me a link from amazon to purchase the correct one, I saw the one you’ve got on amazon it states it’s not suitable for my vehicle F10 2012 530D.
Also I want to know as I have aftermarket xenons installed, I just want to increase my DRL (angel eyes) and have them on during the day instead of full headlight.
is disabling auto stop start safe for the car? thankyou
Hey John, many thanks for this very informative vid. I like the idea of simple and safe ECU mods because I want to reprogram out many of the annoying boring default features of my car. The only thing is, that I've spent a lot of money (with a renowned firm) on a remap to get my 435d from 310bhp up to 400bhp already. I've gathered from this vid that the bimmercode will reset to factory settings before adding any new features so I would assume that it would wipe out the remap I've already had installed before updating my new preference. Is this the case? Would I end up losing the newly gained power just to, for example, turn off the auto start/stop function or door opening functions? Thanks in advance...
I’m not entirely sure tbh, I can however say..my car is tuned with bm3. And when I code features it does not effect my tune at all. I would suggest asking the people that tuned your car, and gather their thoughts
@@ThicWhips Yes, good idea, I'll ask them first. Cheers man!
@@ThicWhips hello mate,
Hopefully you’re doing well today.
Quick question please - I watched the video and subscribed and read all comments in here.
Couldn’t understand which one is preferred and better iCar VGate or VeePeak, please?
Will much appreciated your attention and thoughts mate. Stay safe and sound.
All I need is to scan a BMW E39, tomorrow. I’m going to the stealership to see it and I’m just curious to see if they cleared the codes for the sale purpose.
Thank you
Can you code the trunk to close automattically by using the key fob? I just saw a 2 min video with it but no explanation as to how he achieved it
Is anyone aware how to code door handle LED’s to stay on for the period you’ve coded welcome lights to stay on for ? (60 seconds). Mine go off after 10-20 max :( can’t find an answer anywhere!! The same for the low beam headlight, can that be coded to stay on for longer with welcome lights? Switches off after 20 seconds and looks silly !
My question is, is there any diference between this adapter and the OBDLink CX (the one recommended for BimmerCode)? Will it provide more options for coding??
i would to ask is it works on diesel engines also the bimmercode or not
Nicely done - how did you splice the phone display when making the video?

I have a 2016 535 I it only has to color s for interior lighting but I notice other models have other colors, is it something I can code to get the extra colors
Hey John, I am trying to figure out how to stop the flickering footwell and dome lights when i start up my 2011 328xi. I changed them with LED bulbs but in your videos I haven't seen interior lighting codes in the Front Electronic Module. Would you be able to help me out with that?
The sock lights are Holden so the very in voltage when it lights up led need a stable source of power thts why they flicker
I’m looking this for basically opening my exhaust valves and rear day time running lights etc , question is if I change this in the app does it have to be changed every time I turn the car on or if I remove the OBD plug
@Bimmer-Schmiede Does the x-drive on the F20 also go out with the Bimmercode app (iOs) and the OBDLink CX Bluetooth interface?
Awesome thanks for the guide!
I have MHD flash to my car, would I be able to use Bimmercode with my MHD?
can this app work via wifi if i connect the ENET cable to the family router?
what settings did you use for the LCI taillights /// Bulb or LED ; LCI is not listed ?
Should you buy full bimmercode for co-plet use.I asked this because it does not allow me to use certain actions
Hi can someone answer this for me please....do you need the full version of bimmercode which is 35bucks or is the normal version that you get right away enough? What are the other features in the full version?
Thanks
Great video!
Do you have a recommendation of adaptor for G Series as the one you have shared does not support G Series.
GREAT VIDEO!!! Question, I have a 2018, G12. I use to have a 2008 750li and it would allow me to leave the rear shades up while having the window cracked or rolled completely down. My 2018 doesn't allow that. Is there a code for that??
I am beginner and wondering
If my car has bluetooth ( BMW 120D F20 - 2015 ) I still need to buy some adapter to code my BMW?
And not direct connection iphone - car?
I think I just found my next purchase :) I do have a couple questions. Can this be used to reset the short circuit counter in the FRM? Can it code a new battery to the car (with different specs)? Thanks!
