Hi Guys

My BMW X1 sDrive18i SE will be ready in Oct/Sept and can't wait, sorry if the question has already been asked I did have a quick mooch through the forum but couldn't find any relating information.

Although i'll have the standard BMW above without comfort access package would i still be able to activate the folding mirrors or other features, are the features already built into the vehicle but not active ?.
thanks for any information

Very few options can be added.

If you have button on door to fold mirrors, then you can control with KeyFOB but not CA.

Is there a way to code the steering wheel volume button sensitivity? I find that the volume changes a little too much with a single press on the steering wheel button. I think it is equivalent to two clicks on the volume knob (based on the idrive volume indicator).

Hey guys long time lurker first time poster.
I just purchased a 2017 X1 and started coding on it (previously coded my E92)
Has anybody had success coding the Signal_Sound_set? I changed it to rolls Royce but now I’m not hearing warning chimes. I did code a few other things so I may have overlooked something.

I read through the whole thread today. Getting excited about my upcoming delivery

I remember doing some coding on my scirocco years ago, but then never had to do it again. For the X1, is there a list somewhere of what can be done using say Bimmercode, and what requires a cable? Trying to figure out if I can get by without the cable. What do you folks think?

Turn on PDC and you will hear different sound.

I tried, it was still just silent. Even trying to turn up the Volume under Tone still didn't play any sounds. The BMW-i and Mini sounds worked fine.

Which head unit does your car have?

[PurePulse64]

It says HU_ENTRYNAV, it’s the 8.8” ID4 unit with the Tech Package

May be software limitation. It works on NBT and NBT2.

I would like to know the eyebrow off setting when DRL on.

Would highly appreciate if someone could give an instruction what exactly needs to be coded for rear brake lights replacement with LED-Bulb.

I have succeded to code front and rear turn signals and fog lamps, but dont know what to code with brake lights.

Thanks in advance

Sorry to ask again. Is there any difference between coding with the cable or bimmercode? Trying to work out the easiest option for when the car arrives...

Yes. Different software and more options with E-sys.

In the advanced options BIMMERCODE of EXPERT MODE, you can code much more.

But you will have to cross reference coding from Esys.

Cheers - i will give bimmercode a go I think, and see how we go.

Bimmercode can only FDL code using preset options or expert mode.

E-sys can also VO code. It has access to all modules, where Bimmercode to a select few. Also, E-sys can fix issues if connection dropped during coding resulting in corrupt ECU.

It all depends on what you want to code.

For an F48, Bimmercode should work just fine.

Hi guys. Managed to do most of my coding today (mirrors fold on lock, auto stop start off) but one thing I've struggled with is the 5 indicator soft blink.

3069>PIA_DEFAULT_TIPPBLINKEN = tippblinken_fuenfmal werte = 02

I saw the above bolded from this thread but it makes no difference Is there another setting somewhere? Incidentally, in the idrive settings I can change it to 1 or 3 blinks, but not 5.

EDIT 18/11/18:

I found a way to make this work I was using bimmercode (still waiting for my cable to arrive) but I guess the menus should be similar. On my 2018 October production X1, additionally to the setting mentioned above, I needed to go into the Headunit (HU_NBT_EVO) ECU, and then into 3000 HMI. In there, you want "5_FACH_TIPPBLINKEN". This option needs to be set to Aktiv.

This enables the 5 blink option in iDrive. I set that to 5 blinks in iDrive and can confirm it works Hopefully that helps.

Hi all.

I figured out something else, if anyone is interested. I use eco pro a fair bit, and it always annoyed me that switching to it switches on Auto-Stop-Start.

I went into BDC_01 Body Domain Controller and then 3023 TCMaster2. I then changed TCM_MSA_ECO_MODE to nicht_activ... and that seems to have done the trick.

Behaviour now:
1. ECO PRO starts with ASS off.
2. Switching to ECO PRO from comfort/sport leaves ASS off.

Has anyone figured out how to get the indicator symbols to show up on the HUD?
