f06/f12 coding

[djsaad1]

Is anyone here experimenting with some coding on the 6 series?

So far I have coded

Entertainment list on HUD
Phone list on HUD
Lane assistance on HUD
Turn signals on HUD
auto start/stop to last setting
dvd in motion
remove all legal disclaimers
close mirrors windows and roof through fob and comfort access
transfer telephone ringtone through car speakers
tire pressure and temperature
Opening doors doesn't stop window roll up

Anyone found other features that could be fun to have?

You should also check out the sport displays.

Have you tried any of these on the M series?

Thanks Andreo! I forgot about that. I am going to try to code BMW Live today, and will do the sport display at the same time.

I enabled a lot of mdrive settings and they show up on the Idrive system but I am not able to select them. I am guessing the software knows by the VIN that it isn't an M car.

There shouldn't be any reason that it wouldn't work on an M car. Actually most of these have been tested on an M5 and it worked fine.

Interesting, particularly the additional info you've managed to add to the HUD. Did you have any issues doing this or was it a straight forward process? Strange that the code is there to do this, but not implemented. I wonder if its due to regional legislation/homologation issues. Is there anywhere in the world where these features are enabled by default?

For example:

"close mirrors windows and roof through fob and comfort access"

this feature appears to enabled on my UK 640D GC (its M-sport if that matters). I simply hold down the lock button to initiate it.

Folding the mirrors using the key fob is even mentioned in one of the quickie guides that came with my (U.S. spec) car. I've tried everything, and it doesn't work. I struggle to find a reason why they'd disable this. I know it isn't a legal thing since just about every MB and Lexus SUV and high-end sedan have this enabled. And you can do it by pushing the button on the door, so I'm lost for a reason other than BMW sustaining severe brain damage...

It's pretty easy, you just need an enet able.

Here is a good place to start http://www.bimmerfest.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=631884

It can only be enabled via coding, atleast here in the US.
