I thought I saw in one version of the release notes that the seatbelt chime option was added to remove the non seatbelt noise.

I couldn't seem to find it.

Is this possible yet with BimmerCode?

Well I just tried the demo mode and went into the advanced safety crash module.

It's there. But I get a error message when trying to access it using my vin. Maybe it doesn't have f22 support yet? Bug?

I'll take a screenshot when I try again

For those who have CarPlay, do you find that you have to turn off CarPlay in order to get a stable connection with the vgate?

It drives me to frenzy at times lol maybe I'm holding it wrong :P

Is there a basic set of instructions anywhere? I bought the Vgate, downloaded the app, paid the $27 to open coding. Plug Vgate in and sometimes I get the wifi Vlink, usually not. Even when I do, it won't let me connect. Push the power button on the Vgate and it does nothing. No wifi or BT. I am running Dinan Stage 2, so not sure if that is interfering or not???

Frustrating. Seems it should be pretty straight forward.

Same experience, I'm glad I'm not the only one. I just returned my initial vgate and ordered another. I'll test on Thursday and report back.

JB+ is my only mod so nothing to do with the ODB2 port.

Do you guys have CarPlay? I had problems with CarPlay active. Had to disable that to be able to connect to the vgate. After that I've had no issues.

I'm running the latest iOS on iPhone 7. I also bought the vgate suggested by the app

Just Dinan for me. I went through the dinantronics app and set it to bypass, but the Vgate still failed to communicate via wifi. And I'll pass on opening up the engine bay back up to remove the dinan just to use this app for coding the car. Might need to refund things and try Carly.

FYI-- I don't think the DINAN equipment would cause an issue. I had no issue using the app and have DINAN equipment on my car.

Me neither and I have a lot of Dinan gear on 2 cars I've coded

I just got Bimmercode and Vgate and did some coding. I started off easy to test it out. Here's what messed with:

-Auto-Fold Mirrors on comfort touch lock/unlock
-Windows/Mirrors/Sunroof open/close with FOB
-Welcome lights halo soft on
-Show current gear in dash

After I coded the instrument cluster the outside temp said +105. When I started coding the temp said +78. Any ideas?

Shouldn't Angel Eyes already serve as welcome lights?

Any time you code KOMBI (instrument cluster) functions, outside temperature will be temporarily high. It will recalibrate on its own.

Must have just been my car; the halos never came on before I coded. Good to know the temp will recalibrate; thanks!

I thought there was some kind of expert mode where you can change FDL's like E-sys.

Correct there is an expert mode. I'm not sure LC and Sport Auto have been added there but don't all 2 series come with sport auto and LC? I know all M235/M240s do.
