Just one more question - can you use a laptop , or does it have to be through a phone ?

The app is so good on iOS and Android I would just use those.

FYI, you can break your car through Bimmercode. Tread carefully if you use expert mode.

Ah crap, quite possibly. We need to reach out to BimmerCode…

Don’t know if you noticed, but it doesn’t let you select ‘G42’—only ‘2 Series’.

PRINCE THUNDERNIGHT · 10-23-2023, 02:32 PM

Just sent in a support request…

It was possible before this latest BimmerCode update using the 3 series settings, but I can’t see it in the coding options available in the app! Really need someone to connect to the car and check, because the ‘offline’ list is not always accurate.

cannockwolf · 10-24-2023, 04:15 AM

Confirmed its iDrive 7 only

yeah i emailed their technical support, the idrive 8 cluster module is securely locked out

PRINCE THUNDERNIGHT · 10-24-2023, 07:49 AM

Dear Customer,

The new instrument cluster uses secure coding and is not accessible unfortunately.

Get the Russians or Chinese to hack into it!!!!

J-RO · 10-24-2023, 09:10 AM

I noticed that those who have used Bimmercode to code Idrive 8 used the 3 series G20. Anyone try any other series?

Not even slightly funny, given all the tension and cruelty in the world right now.
