100Hz -2
200Hz -1
500Hz 0
1KHz +2
2KHz -3
5KHz +4
10KHz +6
It sounder crisper

Not sure the treble need to be so high though

Maybe also better in expanded mode

10KHz better if not as high

All personal taste I suppose

Simple solution. Law for vehicles to be electronically limited to 50mph when the fog-lights are on. That would make them turn them off when they weren't needed.

Thanks. That confirms my thoughts as well. I think if you leave 10kHz at +6, but set the treble to 0 or +1, it will sound better (all relative !)

Also, listen to expanded mode and normal mode multiple times; the expanded mode sounds better when the car is still, but in a moving car the normal mode sounds more natural.

I also tried another trick. Asked my better half to switch between normal/ expanded and I did not know which was which. All I noted was whether I liked the sound or not - and did this multiple times randomly. Eventually settled on normal with the settings above, but Treble at +2.

Hi,

I'm a complete novice on coding. Does anyone how to disable the pedestrian protection sensor?

I believe on other forums you have to delete 8TF and remove fgs connector.

Does anyone know how to do it?

Thanks

Hi Abdulla , I am curious as to why you would want to disable this function?

Is your car specced with auto boot opener? If so the driver's kick panel button is there to open the boot. If you want to close it from there too then you need coding.

I'm in Orpington Kent and can help with the coding.

Thanks a lot, I already downloaded E-sys and the other instructions from shawnsheridan but yet to download PSDzdata as the files are too large and I am out of space on my laptop

I am in Bromley quite close to you, and can pop over to you Saturday afternoon if you're free?

yes my car has the power boot option as I can currently open and close the boot using the key fob, button in the boot or using my leg behind the boot.

VIM won't enable MP4 playback but we can have a look at that when we start the coding. I'm afraid I won't be around on Saturday (although I usually am). Sunday or the following weekend will be ok for me. Send me a PM with your VIN number and I'll send you my phone number so we can arrange this.

I did some googling and came across this thread on how to enable USB in Idrive and different video formats;

http://www.bimmerfest.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=668902

For activating Video playing from USB.

HU_NBT 3003 API_USB_VIDEO --> both

this enables the menu selection of "movies" in i-Drive for the USB-Device

if you want to play DivX/Xvid contents as well (or Video-cD at that) the following Settings are also necessary.

HU_NBT 3000 ENT_CODEC_XVID --> aktiv

HU_NBT 3000 ENT_CODEC_XVCD --> aktiv

And it definitly digests almost everything you throw at it.
mpg, avi, mkv, divx .....
even at HD Resolution

Anyone with VIM done this?

Does anyone have a link to the correct cable/software for coding?
Bit of reading seems to imply you can pick them up quite cheap, i'd love to set my mirror delay on close to 0.0s to save holding down the key button..

Thanks!

Anyway, my offer is 100% genuine. I am happy to code your car. I did code another forum member's (@ap) car last week.

I live in Basingstoke and work in Winchester; I'm sure we can work out something convenient - keep me posted when your car arrives.
Hi Gspannu I’m new to the forum and was hoping you could help code my car to enable SLI 8TH? Car comes with KAFAS2 camera with LDW and Driving Assistant as factory options. I know there will also be the FSC code to obtain but any help would be much appreciated!

Thanks

Hi All

I'm a returning BMW driver after just purchasing a 2015 530d M Sport a couple of months back. I switched to a C Class W205 for a couple of years after having an E90 previously - had to get back in a BM! The Merc was nice but just not the same and I found the quality very poor. Always wanted a 5 - after looking at options for a G30 the prices were working out too much for me. In the end settled on a AUC F10 - decent spec and low miles so went for it.

Anyway been looking at coding options and know of the vgate dongle and bimmercode app and looking to add some things to my car, mainly -

- fold mirrors on lock (have to hold on fob at the mo)
- digital speedo
- M Sport welcome screen
- anything else I can get...

Instead of buying the kit for one off use, I wondered whether anyone on here could offer to code any bits for me? I'm in the Coventry/North Warwickshire area...

Hope someone can help?

Cheers

I am based in Basingstoke (weekends)/ Southampton (weekdays) and can code this for you. Let me know you ever come around to this side.

All done FREE ! No costs...
