F60 Bimmer Coding the F60
#26
How do you turn off the active sound with bimmercode? There is an option for it at the bottom but only 1 choice? I don't see on or off, I tried to check and uncheck the choice and while programming the sound goes away for a few seconds and comes back. Do I need to do it in expert mode?

Not sure what you mean when you write, "there is an option for it at the bottom." It's at the top of my list of ECUs in BimmerCode. Also, I'm not given a direct choice of turning the active sound back on... BimmerCode tells me that I have to restore from a backup if I want the Active Sound Design on again. I've taken three screen shots of BimmerCode screens I access on my iPad (see the attachments) while it is actually connected to the OBDII adapter in my car (sorry about the reflections in the images).

could you pleaseeee tell me in kombi / instrument cluster in which node (3000/3001...) and the in which line the lines are for the rev counter activation on the hud? Pleaasssseee! On my SE my instrument cluster is not mapped. But i can code it in esys if somebody could look it up for me. And mybe we even can find a way to avtivate the gong for forgetting phone in cradle? I already found the code for the nbt which activated the menu, but there is another line in combi which needs to be activated for the gong.
Apart from having to translate them all, it's my understanding that there may be "supporting" configuration choices that must be made in other sections of the MINI's computer coding... in the E-Sys Coding thread (where you have posted before), it appears from the posts of others that, for example, just changing from an incandescent bulb to an LED requires multiple coding.
Apart from the translation issue, I'm afraid I don't have any, let's say, "commercial" coding experience that might help to clarify which of the multiple HUD_*** and other codes might be required to effect the change(s) you're looking for.
I think your best bet on NAM is to head back to the E-Sys Coding on F60 thread, since that is the software you're using. Eventually someone with both German language and HUD coding experience will respond. Another thought I had was that you might try your luck with a query on the BMW forums (perhaps bimmerpost.com or bimmerfest.com ? )
At some point, when I get enough time and gumption up for fiddling around more on my own car, I may try Expert Mode stuff. But I'm not going to experiment with changing the coding on the car in Expert Mode until I'm dead certain about what to change... I don't want to risk "bricking" the computer if I do it wrong.

My thinking is that it is the BimmerCode developer who has supplied the English in the app because I would think that in the car's computer programming these coding labels would almost certainly be in German... after all, BMW software engineering is bound to be in Germany.... all the Expert Mode labels are in German, etc. But I can't imagine why this app label would behave differently... doesn't make sense to me that the BimmerCode developer would go to the trouble to change the labels for an SE.
If nobody comes up with a better suggestion for the SE, maybe you'll end up emailing the BimmerCode developer... that his coding isn't working for your car could be a software bug that he should be made aware of.
Think I've run out of "educated" guesses on this one... maybe only the dumb guesses are left

I already mailed bimmercode 3 times. He says our instrument cluster isn’t mapped. I already found out that it is mapped only if you have esys launcher pro! But buying that is a bit too much in my opinion since i only need it for 2 fairly small options and even if you pay a lot of people don’t get a response for months i read on bimmerfest.
Our problem with the PHEV is the cluster is a different model. That’s why it doesn’t show in esys and bimmercode. I have both.
Coding in expert mode is really not a big thing for me. I do it all the time and that’s why i stumble upon things like compass and phone reminder and so on.
my German is ok but if you know which lines to search for it doesn’t matter if you know German. You only need to find the right line and change it to active. If it doesn’t work you can code it back. As long as you know which line you changed.
the line for activating the sound for forgetting phone in armrest charging tray is probably
WCA Which stands for
Comment = Verfügbarkeit Wireless Charging Ablage -> Handy Vergessen Warner CCM (über HMI) + Deaktivierbarkeit des Handy Vergessen Warner über HMI (Translation: Availability Wireless charging storage-> mobile forget Warner CCM (with HMI) + disable capability of the phone forget Warner on HMI)
and lines for activating rev counter in hud are these 3 lines:

In any event, it appears you have found the HUD rev counter coding you were looking for.
Thanks for the clarifications.

I did see also an option for "distance" and I checked that and that option appears in the menu. I think its supposed to light up a car in the HUD if you're too close to another car. I can't test it now in my garage.
There was a third option for M. Its M Display like my menu display or something. Not sure what that is for...
Any insight?

You only activated the menu in the idrive systen. You need to activate the same 3 lines in the instrument cluster. Now you only activated them in nbt.
When you also activate them in instrument cluster you will get a rev counter in the hud if you want it. I had this configured in my F56. When i put my car in sport mode with gearbox or car mode i would get that rev counter in the hud. You only get lines no numbers but it is especially in this car a nice option because we don’t have a rev counter at all.
But, there is a butt. Unless you have esys with launcher pro, which is fully mapped you cannot code instrument cluster unfortunately. With bimmercode our instrument cluster is unknown and in esys with premium launcher it is not mapped. So you would be operating blind. That’s why i asked somebody to look for me and count the lines.
When it was mapped i also would have found the corresponding line to activate forgetting phone in armrest option. Nobody still has looked. Now i jest have the menu in my idrive.

Oh shoot, so what you're saying I only turned on the menu option and that's it. I could see an additional menu option for distance (which I also turned on) but that may not work also in the HUD...
I will take one more look and see what bimmercode says for instrument cluster...
Yup, it says "not supported" for instrument cluster in bimmercode :(
So I turned on distance option and that may not work either because its not enabled in the instrument cluster?
Bummer... What about bimmerlink app, does that do anything better?

Well, I have Kombi in expert menus somewhere else, I forgot where. I can't check now because the Mini is out and about with the wife 65 miles away. She drove to Glouster today got 48mpg using the battery and some gas. Charging right now over there...
maybe I can go in another menu and find kombi and through there I can change those 3 items to turn on the rpm in the instrument cluster??

So what have people changed? Let me think what I did...
1. Fog lights work in all modes, parking light, low beam and high beam.
2. Reverse turns on door handle lights.
3. Turned off fake engine sound by changing sound file from wave 1 to wave 2 in expert mode.
4. Tailgate can be opened and closed from the remote and inside the driver side door button.
What else is interesting and cool to do?
Thanks all!

Also, let me ask about the bluetooth devices you guys are using. I'm using the Veepeak with Bimmercode and its slow, takes time to load all the pages, read data and code.
Are there better ODB ones out there that might work better? I see this one:
Does that work better? Its also more than twice the price so I'm not sure if its worth it?

Just coded my new F60 JCW on the weekend for the first time (I've only had it for a week!). The things I started with are:
- Turn of ASD (still evaluating whether I will keep it off - anyone know if there is a way to have it run in 'Normal' mode even when the car is in 'Sport' mode?)
- Car starts in sport mode
- Turn off notice on NAV when car starts
That's it for now. Need to do some research what the other options actually do.
