Possible to Switch Remote Ventilation to Heated Seats for Winter?

ZGadson · 11-21-2019, 10:16 AM

As the title says, is it possible to use BimmerCode to temporarily switch ventilation to activate the heated seats instead for winter months? I think the ventilation option in the BMW app is just a gimmick anyway, basically a useless feature, but if we can make it trigger other functions (such as heated seats) it would be far more valuable.

Thoughts?

It would drain your battery fast. So no.

If it's not one of the standard features in the module, no - you can't change what can be remotely activated. Feature coding either turns a feature on or off or changes a value (like turning the speedo "correction" on or off or what speed activates auto-locking,etc.). That said, to do so would require completely re-writing the code for whichever module controls the function you want to add, and even then, it may not be possible.
