I have successfully coded! For some reason I couldn't activate FA on my first attempt, but after I reconnected it went through. I wanted to thank pikcachu for all your help!

Coded:
Digital speedometer
No dimming of halos with headlights
Roll up windows with key fob
Fold mirrors with key fob
Unlock doors with engine off
Turn off radio when door is open

The rest of the stuff I didn't care much for so I left it.

[pikcachu]

Cause you probably saved the fa

You cannot activate after you save. You need to re read it

[mikeyymonster]

Ahh that must have been it.

I got a chance to look at the 100% halos at night now and it looks to be a bit too bright. From a distance, it almost hides the halos when the light is on because they're so bright. Rather than choosing one of the given percentages, I changed the actual value to 32. Since 100% = 64, can you confirm that 32 = 50%? At 32, it is definitely more noticeable than stock but not overpowering.

Ya hex 32 = 16x3 + 2 = 48 + 2 = 50

Wow this coding stuff seems to be the shizzle....I might have to invest in the equipment myself and give it a whirl......

Anyone try the disable head light washer setting? did it work?

[pikcachu]

I didn't, but it should....

you can always put the headlight switch to off and the washer won't activate... headlight washer will only activate on auto or on setting...

so never bothered to code it

Yes true i have done that on my previous car but at in pitch black night its a little dangerous. i just find they waste so much washer fluid and really don't clean the lights all that much.

[pikcachu]

fair enough... I'm pretty sure it should work

[pikcachu]

a few more ...

auto map zoom - HU_NBT 3001 AUTO_MAP_ZOOM
google voice search - HU_NBT 3000 GOOGLE_LOCAL_VOICE_SEARCH
min speed for cruise control - ICM 3000 C_Wunschgeschw_min_mph

[darkerosxx]

What does google voice search actually do?

[bman6074]

What does everyone do when bringing car in for regular maintenance like oil change or a problem covered under warranty? Do you change all coding back to stock?

[pikcachu]

you could... but they won't even notice....

I would do a another backup of my coding before going in for service. I have the original settings saved if ever there is a need to restore them back to default.

I don't believe a service department would care about your coding features. Might be another store during my end of lease pre-inspection

[pikcachu]

probably easier to VO code by using "Code" than restoring the original file though....

Yea true that's what i figured but if you change the start up screen to the M logo might be a little suspicious. But then again most tecks probably see so many diff models they figure that might just be specific to the model

[henryyxyu]

Does changing 'Ambiente_Helligkeit' from 64 to 99 even work....? 64 in hex is already 100 in decimal... so changing it to 99 would be at 153 :O

Has anyone tried this and reporting it to be 'effective'?

[pikcachu]

Yes. It works. And it's really noticeable

now you can do stuff like

Trips need to be in BMW format .tar.gz and stored in a usb stick in BMWData\Navigation\Routes folder
Then go to Navigation Menu - My trips - Import from USB

How do you create the route? This would be very helpful as the GPS default route is not the exact way i like to travel. Would be nice to route my own and then just have the navi guide me.

[pikcachu]

you can create it with google map and export it with tyre basic to the bmw format.
