Get the OBD adapter from Amazon recommended by BimmerCode and use BimmerCode app to code REx manual activation menu.

But 2018 doesn't even have that option in the settings to start with

My 2017 has it

Has no one tried this before? Am I the only one with this issue?

Did you buy your 2017 New or Used?

My 2017 had to be coded to display Manual Rex mode.. Its 'greyed out' until you reach 75% SOC..

And supposedly US version do not come equipped with the option standard because of 'Regulations'.. Must have vehicle coded

You have to code/hack the car to show/use the manual activate REX option. The menu is hidden on all i3 REX's in the USA.
