Does the 2013 6GC HUD show turn signal indicators?

Seems like a glaring omission if it doesn't!!
Any coders in the Warwickshire area in England who can fix this and a couple of other things, please PM me. Thanks

Not on my 2014 M6 GC, it should since the steering wheel blocks the indicators on the dash.

What happens to the coding when BMW updates the firmware? What about warranty concerns?

There is no any warranty concerns because it is not like jail break an Iphone or some other tech staffs.
Our cars actually have the functions but are disabled at NA.
For the situation dealer update the software, the worst could be you lost all codings. I do not know what is it like in states, but dealer will never upgrade the software for you if you are not going to pay the upgrading fees.
If I do not request it, there will be no software upgrade issues in Canada.
Coding is a way to make our cars more functional and unique.
It is just my two cents. Man

For those with a 2014 and digital dash, it's not possible to code the turn signals onto the HUD yet. If you have a 2014 without the digital dash than you should be fine.

Interesting, why would the digital dash effect the HUD coding?

I have the multifunction Instrument display on a Sept 2014 build 6GC.

The car is equipped with the latest HUD version and to my surprise, I am advised by the master technician at my BMW dealership that the turn signal indicator cannot be coded in this build version!!


Is this true? Has anyone else tried this and managed?

Does anyone know any coders in the Warwickshire area?

That's odd you were able to get the turn signals in HUD. I had mine coded, and it did not work. The guy followed up a few days later and said after checking that the turn signals are enabled for the 650.

It for sure won't work on the msport editions (at least for no), but it should technically work on cars without the fully digital dash. I had it coded in my 2013 until I switched out my cluster for the fully digital one.

I think there are two places you have to turn this on when coding.. Also, it won't automatically be enabled - after you code it, you have to go into the HUD settings in iDrive and enable it (a check box).
