Has anyone coded the i8 recently?
Has anyone coded the i8 recently? I coded mine last year and everything went smooth; I tried again this year after the dealer flashed my ECU a few months back because of fuel door issues I was having and it's not the same.
Some of the previous directories and folders I would go into to edit FDL's are no longer there, or maybe renamed? One big ANNOYING change I've noticed is the inability to expand the color ensamble's that we used to be able to do. I had the door/dash/floor set to green/red/lilac, etc... now it seems the options for even choosing a color are no longer present. Has anyone ran into this issue or know a work around it? Any updated tips would help. (As an aside, I've been coding via VMware because of the token that expired at 12/31/17). |

I have the same question. Everything is still there but renamed. Very annoying to get around it.

used bimmercode app and some stuff worked like the tire temp, am radio, phone ringtone, sport mode. I can't seem to get the comfort mode auto folding and unfolding mirrors to work. Anyone know if I should activate range extender or not?

I just coded everything that I wanted in my car and finally got the folding mirrors working as well. Car was just serviced prior so I'm sure software is up to date. I used bimmercode. I'm not sure what directory and folder the lights are in but if you tell me I can see if its there for me as well

It used to be in BDC_BODY 3070 AMBIENTE_FARBE_ENSEMBLE_1_LAYER_1 (Dash) AMBIENTE_FARBE_ENSEMBLE_1_LAYER_2 (Door) AMBIENTE_FARBE_ENSEMBLE_1_LAYER_3 (Floor) There were about 6 set up like this. How does the bimmercode app work btw? Did you buy a bluetooth obdII reader? Any help would be appreciated Thanks |

Yes, Buy a vgate off of amazon, typically 25 dollars. Also download the bimmercode app and activate that for another $26.99. Works pretty well when you use it.

so had my gear shifter replaced and they apparently updated my software. My battery icon is now the stacked battery now. That being said the basic things I was able to code prior is now not available. I cannot code the folding mirrors on lock, disable seat belt chime, and get into the ambient lighting section. Not sure if bimmercodes needs to be updated but I hope those things will be available again in the future.
