Please do not do that it's not worth it and you have to reset to go back to harman kardon. You will lose the bass in b&w. I put underseat subwoofers but had no bass then had to go back to harman kardon to get better bass.
8:07 Active Sound Design was exactly the option you were looking for I think. It's what BMW used to call the fake engine noise they pump through the speakers.
Hey, FYI, don't run your car in an enclosed space like your garage with the door closed. It'll full up with carbon monoxide which is super dangerous and you'll just pass out and never wake up.
Interesting that BMW doesn’t have all the ambient lighting colors available on some models. My 7 Series came with all the colors they offer on Bimmercode.
Dude nice video just wondering there is a video option showing up on Bimmercode is that for video in motion or video in general can you share a video on that. Thanks for the videos - I am waiting for my delivery of the 340
Did you have any issues with BMW warranty because of changes you made via bimmerlink? Have they made any problems during service checks? I heard BMW likes to void warranty because of these kind of things.
I've taken my car for oil changes twice, and they haven't mentioned anything about the bimmer-code stuff. However, most of the stuff on this video doesn't work anymore with the latest update. Sadly, I only have a purple color and rolls royce sound
@@G20Storm So you can't code anything until app gets updated again, right? BTW all things you coded before remained as they were or they got wiped out with new IDrive update?
are you still able to code out the active sound design? this is supposed to eliminate the fake noises inside but still leave exhaust valve open on sport plus through iconic sounds.
Have you managed to push any of cluster gauge themes? Seems like when I try with that same cable they give a bunch of different options for "activation codes" to try. Have you had any luck with any of these?
I haven't. I got the most recent update from BMW, and that caused everything to reset, and I went back to code all my stuff again. I noticed that Bimmercode has been updated and new things were on it. However, somethings don't work anymore, like I can't code the on/off feature anymore. Doesn't work. Just waiting on new updates from Bimmercode to see what new things they bring. Haven't tried Cluster changes, I don't believe i saw any.
Thanks for posting. Like you I have a 2023. Are you able to code it to start up in sports plus? I was told it has the feature, but it doesn't work for the 2023. Can you confirm if it works. Thanks buddy
This code in particular won't mess up the car. Some of the more advanced once can mess up if done wrong. Essentially, BMW has options in different cars, but instead of making different parts they code different systems and remove buttons or add buttons. This allows you to access them. It's also not bad for the engine, but your milage in gas will probably be different as it won't be shutting down anymore. That's it
Latest BMW update and they stopped the auto start stop from being coded. Haven’t gone back to check it if is now working. Based on your comment I assume not. I Can look into the aircond what are you trying to do with it?
Tried doing the same thing to turn off the auto start stop in my 2023 330i, but after startup, it seems to reset to default again, so I have to manually turn it off. Does it work in your car so you don't have to press the auto start stop button after each startup?
yeah, it worked for me. Mind telling me the steps that you did to see if you are missing anything? If you want I can make a separate video where I do it again remove it, and add it back on to see if you did something wrong.
@@G20Storm I disabled the auto start stop feature thru bimmercode and after code, I unplugged the obd scanner and start up the car but the auto start stop off light beside the shifter is not on, which means it is on by default right?
@@williamsutanto1678 Um for that I would have to look into it, I assum you are not from the US right? Cause my BMW doesn't have a button for the Auto On/Off, there was no way for me to disable it without the code, you have a button. Let me look into it
@@G20Storm Yes I'm in the US, and I just looked at the interior of M340i from Google and noticed that there's no button for auto on/off. I guess it's only available in 330i? Anyways, I like the videos in your channel, I'm also planning to change that small rear spoiler soon!
Good question. I want to say yes, however warranty as told by my BMW sales rep is not that simple. I was told if I add an exhaust, and my window doesn’t lower then warranty still covers the windows however if I add an exhaust and I get a check engine light then they wouldn’t cover it if the check engine light is coming because of the exhaust. It would also depend what codes you add. Color change won’t damage anything, engine auto stop start could be easy to tell but BMW would have to be able to prove but I could still go get my oil changes. I could always set it back to normal before taking the car in, and no one would know.
I think we should pull a BMW tech On the side and ask him off the record, just to be sure.. I did here from a buddy say they have ways to check if you do anything to the car. I’m gonna try and find out.
If you have a 23 like me, when you connect the cable and turn on the app, the car gets in diagnostic mode on its own. You will see if pop up in the screen. If you have a 22 and below I’m not sure how to do it but I’ve seen videos that you have to hold some buttons at the same time.
This is literally my dream car. I’m 21 and I hope to grab one of these before they end production!
It’s dope! Love it! But the 22 is still awesome, and I’m sure the 23 and 24 might be slightly similar. Grab one before they turn electric :O
I didn’t even know this was a thing, amazing video I’m going to buy this now
Check some more videos on BimmerCode too before you do it, but it’s pretty simple :)
Bro, you did not waste my time with the car wash🎉🎉. It was actually great seeing the bimmer bath.
I have the kies odbII with WiFi and it works great, no cord needed.
Quad tips would complete the rear 🔥
if you have the Harman Kardon system make sure you activate the B&W sound settings it will sound better!
I do i need to code it again cause I received an update I will look into that

Yea that’s also what I was told by one of my friends when I made the video. Lesson learned. Won’t do in the future thanks though. :)
Hey, I own a 24' M340i and from DFW area as well and would love to do a meet up sometime.
I just got my Xdrive Brooklyn. I’m terrified to mess with it and wouldn’t want to void the warranty somehow. That’s just my fear.
Interesting that BMW doesn’t have all the ambient lighting colors available on some models. My 7 Series came with all the colors they offer on Bimmercode.
Yea that’s weird. Since they are RGB a very simple update could fix that not sure why they don’t do it.
Could you code off ASD (active sound design) via bimmercode and make a video with it ON and OFF, to see what's the difference?
You don’t need to code it off. You can just go into the settings and turn it off from there. I can make a video on that.
Dude nice video just wondering there is a video option showing up on Bimmercode is that for video in motion or video in general can you share a video on that. Thanks for the videos - I am waiting for my delivery of the 340
I believe the one your talking about is so that you can play back videos recorded. I Can double check for you but I remember seeing that option
@@G20Storm thanks mate that would be awesome. no one has done a video on iDrive 8 on the video playback as of yet.
Do you know if they added any more options since?

@@Raffe-kx1wt they got wiped with the updates. You can code most of the stuff. But I can’t remove the auto start stop feature anymlre
are you still able to code out the active sound design? this is supposed to eliminate the fake noises inside but still leave exhaust valve open on sport plus through iconic sounds.
@@_joeham you don’t need to code it out. There is a setting that lets you turn it off if you want straight from the car.
@G20Storm: Would you know whether Bimmercode can code out auto-start/stop again?
There was an update recently to the app I’ve been meaning to try it. I’ll do it tonight and get back to you
@@G20Storm you’re a star 🌟
You should mod your exhaust next

Yo buddy! How is the auto stop/start? Any issues? Hopefully my car comes in at end of month.
I códed off. During an update it came back on and then I took it off.
But car works good and with it off it feels way better when driving. Especially when coming to the stops
Are you gonna add a frontlip and side skirts?
Hoping to add a front lip soon
I just coded the Auto Start Stop out
Is this like bad for the engine or anything? And also does coding like mess up the car?

@@G20Storm thanks for the reply…was kind of scared 😂. I didn’t even know you could code that out before I watched your vid.
hi , I got this bimmercode , but cant code the Aircond memory and auto start stop , any idea ? thanks
Latest BMW update and they stopped the auto start stop from being coded. Haven’t gone back to check it if is now working. Based on your comment I assume not. I Can look into the aircond what are you trying to do with it?
@@G20Storm memory it
What about 2024 bmw m340i
Do I still need to buy the full Bimmercode App for only coding the auto start function ?
Yes you do, but latest update with BMW hasn’t allowed me to code it out. Need to make an update video on it
@@G20Storm thanks for the reply... and that is pretty bad if we cannot code it out anymore 😑
Can u change the gauge display to the m3 display
Buy me a BMW!
I got you. Just bought about 3k of tesla last month. In about 6 month I’ll have enough to buy you two BMWs lol
Does this void ur warranty?
Which Ethernet adapter are you using?
I went out of town and actually brought it with me. I will tell you the exact name. GioChem Ethernet to IPhone adapter
Is there a way I can turn off lane assist permanently with BimmerCode ?
I Can check for you but you Can turn that off from your settings if I’m not mistaken.
@@G20Storm yea but even turned off it still activates randomly during traffic
