Just coded by 640d GC - thanks to Awais and Adam at DD Coding

Just had the following enabled - similar to Awais, Adam from DD coding managed to code the following remotely using my laptop connected to the car - a very efficient and reasonably quick process:

* Enabled DVD-in-motion
* Enable Video Playback via USB (.avi, .mp4, .mkv, .m4v, etc.)
* Entire Text (SMS) display
* Owners Manual in Motion
* Disabled other speed locks
* Detailed Tyre Pressures and Temperature
* Idrive startup animation to M Performance
* Special Codec support (XVCD/XVID/OGG)
* Acoustic feedback for Lock / Unlock (can switch on and off from iDrive)
* Fold mirrors on Lock with one touch (without having to hold the button down)
* Fog lights on with Welcome Lights
* Auto Stop/Start set to OFF at Startup
* Active Sound changed to M3/M4
* Sport Dials changed to Red

Yes, I believe so but depends on the spec of the car.

To be honest, I can't really hear much difference but I haven't fully opened up the car yet.

I didn't like the m3/4 sound, the wraith was a bit too quiet. Settled on m6 with competition pack gives it a nice rumble at low revs and doesn't sound bad with the diesel's character.

What's it like on the motorway? Does it become noisy or only when you put your foot down? Cheers Dan

Yeah...I'm finding the M3/M4 too refined and quiet. Going to try the M6...

At motorway cruise speeds its there, it's in the background but no no need to turn the radio up. Only when you open the throttle up does become noticeable and at WOT having dropped down a few gears and chasing the redline does it give you the full experience.

Coded Aktiv sound to M6

Thanks to Adam at DD coding, I bought my own cable fro. Amazon...£10... He connected back through my laptop and updated the Aktiv sound from m3/m4 to m6... What a huge difference.

Quiet and refined during cruising and soon as kick down, lovely V8 type burble..very pleased.

I'll be looking into getting that done at some point when I get a chance. Glad it sounds better :-)
