F55/F56 Mini coding/programming

It's not music streaming I'm after, it's the Bluetooth recognition of phone based voice control e.g. Siri for the iPhone.
This works in my R56 with base radio, but not F56 with base radio (and, yes, HK speakers).
This frustration is reported by others on this site and also on BMW sites.
Thanks

If you have a 15 with Connected, you already have enhanced BT, which includes Office, but notification support is also dependent on what kind of phone you have. iPhones do not support email notifications at all and text notifications seem to be hit or miss (seems to work fine for most, but some people just can't seem to get it working). Most Android phones will work for both email and text notifications and I'm not sure how Windows Phones fare.

Add parking lights to DRL
I've successfully coded several changes to my 2016 Justa and I'm looking for another tweak...
Does anyone know if the parking lights (upper part of the round, foglight assembly below the front bumper) can be coded to come on with the LED 'horseshoe' DRLs? If so, which module/parameter should be changed?
Thanks,
Alan

Coding experts:
I'm a software guy and a BMW guy, but never done any of this coding myself.
I am 3 months into ownership of my '16 Clubman S, F54. Over on the Clubman forum, there is a lot of discussion about the F54 brake lights. The strange thing about this car is the way the rear brake lights work -- they are in the bumper, not in the huge light housing on the rear barn doors (which houses running lights and turn signals).
I'm wondering if there might be a way to code the lighting so that the turn signal bulbs that are up in the doors can work as brake lights. Either sharing turn signal duties, or swapping by using the bumper lights as turn signals.
What would it take to figure out what sort of coding is possible, if any, for the rear light behavior on an F54?
I'm thinking maybe I could talk one of you who is experienced into looking into it, rather than me buying everything necessary to do it myself?

I tried changing the LED headlight voltage to a lower value and it didn't change anything. I tried telling the system that my tail light bulbs are LED and put a non-canbus (no extra resistors) LED bulb but it still didn't take it and threw error messages such as check bulb or something like that.
Experiment and report the results back

You'll have to be careful and make sure the lighting behaves correctly.

The values to change will contain part of that phrase so look for those values.
For example, these are the lines to turn on the taillights as DRL:
MAPPING_TAGFAHRL_H_L_OUTPUT = sl_l
MAPPING_TAGFAHRL_H_R_OUTPUT = sl_r
MAPPING_TAGAHRL_H2_L_OUTPUT = sl_2_l
MAPPING_TAGAHRL_H2_R_OUTPUT = sl_2_r
Front fog light in German is Nebelscheinwerfer. It's often abbreviated as NSW. So look for values containing NSW and some form of Tagfahrlicht.
If that fixture your referring to is considered a "City Light" it may be under SL, for stadtlicht.
All lighting functions are contained in the BDC module.

Sorry if I missed the "ultimate conclusion " on this question when I scanned this great thread.
Have a 2016 F56 with HK radio, base Bluetooth, no Nav, etc. Like others, I am cheesed that BMW chose to eliminate use of Siri and similar voice phone controls in this model.
I have seen the discussion of activating Bluetooth music streaming with this configuration but unsure if I saw the answer to whether coding can enable the phone voice control such as Siri. Thanks!
Note, if it's codeable, I will be having a serious discussion with Mini and the dealer.

The value is CE_DEVICE_SPEECH_RECOGNITION

So my car had to go in for an issue with my headunit (would reset every 2 minutes) and ended up getting programmed, so now that I have a more current version of software, I tried coding the JCW Sport Displays again and - SUCCESS!
Very cool feature!
To code it yourself, you need a software version around F056-15-03-XXX or later (mine is now the current F056-16-07-501) and HUD.

Wow! Thanks for this Gave it a try this morning and worked perfectly! Test drove a JCW while waiting for my S to come in and it had this - knew I wouldn't have it when my finally arrived but glad to finally have it!

Not done any coding before but was hoping that the MCS HUD could get the Sports Display of the JCW so will certainly look into doing this...
Can I ask on a manual transmission car if you can only get the rev counter or can the shift lights also be selected?
In the user manual it does say the shift lights only work for auto cars?

with the base radio option, you lose on the COMBOX unit, which is what enabled bluetooth streaming. to get that you need to 1) buy a combox unit and then 2) VO code in 6NS...you should then get the option to enable bluetooth streaming as well as the voice activation.
previously the combox was included in most cars, which was why it was simply enabling it that just needed to be done.

Maybe a manual equipped F56 could try?

I have a 2015 F56 with base radio, built September 2014. Does this mean I might have a COMBOX already inside and all I need is to add the VO - 6NS by coding? If that's the case, would I be able to select something like Bluetooth stream from the audio sources? I thought that the menu itself does not exist in the user interface of the base radio. I'm currently using USB flash drive for playing music.
i'm trying to find a cheap combox to test this out.

Oh.. I see. When you mentioned "previously", I thought you were referring to 2014/2015 models where they came with the hidden glovebox. Okay, I'm not going to go far as replacing hardware.
