I've got the European Union Jack lights installed - coded out all the light errors. My brake force display was coded for the increased area - which, where the amber signal lights light up solid along with the brake lights under heavy breaking. I changed it to blinking, and it worked by making the amber turn signals flash under hard braking. Unfortunately, it also gives me a light failure error message on my dash. I switched back to the stock expanded area since I don't know what else I need to code to make this work.

Curse you, BMW!
Bad news, y'all. After updating to the latest software on my 2015 F56 last week, I successfully recoded all my bimmercode mods...except one. No matter what I tried, I couldn't increase the blinker from 3 to 5 flashes. I emailed Stephan to see what I was doing wrong. He replied that BMW has now restricted the flashes to 3 max. What are they thinking? That's the top mod on my list. Does anybody know why BMW would do this or how we could encourage them to remove the restriction?

I hope this is the right place to ask - I have downloaded Bimmercode and have the Vgate Pro Wifi. I've tried on an iPad and iPhone - I get connected just fine, but when I launch Bimmercode and hit connect, it reads the VIN and moves on the reading ECU's, then it gets about 1/4 of the way through and stops, then I get a timeout - every time. I've rebooted, removed and re-installed the app, unplugged the module, started and restarted the car - every time it times out. Mine is a 2018 Cooper S.
I also downloaded the Vgate recommended app Auto Doctor and that seems to work fine - gives me info about the car and temp, etc. - just not a coding app.
Any ideas with Bimmercode?

If the slow option doesn't work you may have a faulty Vgate. I tried the slow option on mine at one point and it was very slow. Also make sure you don't have interference from wifi network.
I used this one "Vgate Wifi iCar2 OBDII Elm327 Code Reader for IOS iPhone iPad Android PC,Auto Sleep" worked perfectly.
None of this works for you, try emailing Bimmercode, owner is very responsive to questions.

Actually the one within the fog light housing. It's the little 194 bulb I want to disable. BTW, thanks for the sidemarker. Might do that too

Anyone know if the quick tap turn signal number of blinks is still locked at 3, no matter what you enter? I'd like 4,5, or 6....I found the option in the non-expert mode, and no matter which # I select, they always stay at 3 x blinks
I cant find the option in the non-expert mode, under what main module is it under, and whats it called? Seems different for every car people talk about here?

I have changed instrument cluster BC1_ENABLE to aktiv to change the cluster display to show fuel information: distance to empty fuel mileage and speed. "Empty menu Item in board computer" is set to aktiv.
Everything seemed to be running properly until the next time that I went to fill up the gas tank. The fuel tank would not take gas and overflow even though it was empty, almost as though there was an issue with the fuel tank breather solenoid...
Have you seen this before? Any suggestions?? I have changed BC1_ENABLE back to nicht_aktiv and the fuel fills properly
