New (to me) 2014 550i m-sport
Howdee, just got my 2nd (3rd if you count my bike) bmw, a 2014 550i M-sport. I've been reading about coding and the like and I'm wondering what codes should I do. Here's my VIN D681718.
There are a couple annoyances that I'd like to get rid of if possible: Can I have the driving/fog lites come on by default and stay on with high beams? Can I have auto stop/start off by default? Can I add the high beam assist? Can I add the heated steering wheel? And of course, what are everyone's favorite codes? thanks, b |

I've coded a few things on my car. Don't remember seeing anything about fogs coming on with high beams, but I'm using Carly, which isn't entirely exhaustive.
Auto stop/start doesn't require any coding. Just turn it off and the vehicle will default to off the next time you start (unless you engage eco mode, but who does that?) High beam assist and heated steering wheel obviously have hardware components, so coding alone won't do it. Coded options I use everyday: Close trunk with button in footwell as well as remote, fold mirrors with remote, unlock driver door upon ignition off. Enjoy your new ride! Quote:

As stated above, the LCI's will remember the last setting for the A/S/S. Try this for the fog/driving lights...
FEM_BODY... 3050... NSW_AUS_BEI_FL nicht_aktiv... aktiv... Allows Fog Lights to remain on when high beams are active. FEM_BODY... 3060... NSW_EIN_AUF_LDS_STL aktiv...nicht_aktiv... Allows Fog Lights to turn on while only parking lights are on. The first setting (aktiv of nicht_aktiv) is the new setting and the second is the default setting. |

Suggestions to code: Disable all of the legal warning messages Disable the seatbelt chimes Enable Variable Light Distribution (wider beams at low speed, moves to narrower/further at like 20mph) Unlock the doors when the engine is turned off Turn off radio/electrical accessories when the driver's door is opened and the engine is off (so that you don't have to press the engine off button a second time) Windows up/down and mirrors fold/unfold when you hold the lock/unlock key button. Disable limiting the display of email messages to the first line.
