New to BimmerCode with basic ?’s

Used BimmerCode on my M2 today.
Just did two items to start out. I got rid of the initial screen you had to Ok.
Also changed to the M start up animation.
The ok screen is gone now so that seemed to work but the M animation doesn't show up.
Also, I lost all of the 8 saved items on the preset buttons.

What did I do wrong?

Thanks for helping a newbie out.

You didn't do anything wrong. The coding reset the HU which resets all your presets. Frustrating but not that hard to put back. The boot up screen doesn't show if you've started the car recently. It has to fully shut down which takes like 5-10 minutes of being off and you have to stay away from the car not detecting the key fob.

I agree 100% OP make sure you backup your data and take notes especially in expert mode coding.

Thanks for helping a newbie out.
you did't do anything wrong.. this is just one of those codes that doesn't always pop up..when choosing which animation you want to implement, there is a small disclaimer up at the top that explains that "this code isn't always visible, only under certain circumstances".
