So with the f10 you can code enhanced Bluetooth (6ns) by adding it to the vo and coding it to the car, I've done this to mine and it works beautifully

Hi,
apples12, what year is your car. Mine is an f10 lci 04/14 and still a bit wary of trying VO to 6NS.
I have the software,but this laptop aint reliable enough

I`m going to try bimmercode expert working through the list, but does it still give the same result in the end?
Or does it need some bespoke tweaking?

Cheers for anyones thoughts

Enhanced bluetooth through BimmerCode

Coded this today with bimmercode expert mode and it all works great with a few changes to the original list.
I left one microphone active, svs , system tts and CE device recognition as they were to avoid losing the voice control.

Still don't have album art or sms though.

The highlighted lines are the ones I had to change for my car which I believe has the combox built into NBT headunit.
Ive attached my list, mebbe helps somebody

Well I've found out that I have NBT combox finally, so I'm going to try this, unless you have changed anything recently, is it still working well?

Well I coded it the same as you and got the same results but haven't tested much yet. Much better than the aux cable still, at least I can change songs through the car.

Can someone advise if this is possible with Bimmercode?

I have a 2011 535i and I am trying to activate Enhanced Bluetooth, but no luck yet. I do have the Comm box in my trunk and I can connect via Bluetooth for calls, but no media.

I have tried the process attached above, but don't have some of the modules listed.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Go into BimmerCode expert mode and then follow the instructions above. The regular coding section seems to be set up for basic coding. I had to go into expert mode to code in the compass and variable light distribution.

I've tried coding this via BimmerCode in Expert mode, but it seems I still don't have all of the modules referenced.

If I attempt to VO code this with Esys, can someone please advise what's best process. From the DIY instructions on coding I am assuming I would add the 6NS however the instructions mention deleting some other code. What would I need to delete in this scenario?

Also, is there a list of others beneficial VO codes to add while I am knocking this out?

I don't know what codes to replace with 6NS, since my car came with enhanced BT, but as for good VO codes:

Remove:
8S4 (variable light distribution). Your headlights change their patterns a bit depending on speed.

Add:
2TB if you don't have Sport Automatic Transmission). Unless you FDL code to disable paddles, it'll throw a missing paddles error. Up to you if you care about this or not.

If this is your first time VO coding, track what FDL codes you have, and VO code all modules besides DME with engine running.

Ok, well this is my first time coding via ESys. I also have Bimmercode, so I've coded the power folding mirrors, sports display and removed the legal notices.

Sorry, I'm still learning they system. Are you saying I can VO code these features as well or will I just need to recode them with Bimmercode.

Can anyone shed some light on this for me. I just did my first ESys coding session and I activated and added the 6NS to my CIC, however I don't seem to have bluetooth. I went through the remove and pair process and it's still not there. Furthermore, the instructions I went through said to code the "HU_CIC" and then code the "CMB_MEDIA" ECU if present. I cannot find this ECU in my SVT list, however I have a silver computer box mounted to above my rear driverside wheel. If this isn't the Comm Box then what is it?

BMW is stupid for making the enhanced BT a option for some years then standard for some. Very confusing. Bluetooth should just work. Good think we can code it given it is not before 9/10 prod.

I'll add to this. So, I've never gotten a message since I've coded this. BUT, I just got a Samsung S10, went through all the settings on Bixby routines and setup a driving routine. This in turn reads out sms messages aloud, but without a reply option.

Its something lol

Main things: Library browsing via BT, can connect 2 phones at once, an additional mic above the passenger, and a few other things like Office.

A good way to check for it is to see if you have the second mic above the passenger.

Can someone please help me with a quick question. I currently have the TCU and MULF. I just purchased a Combox #84109257153 for retrofit as well as a TCU & MULF adapter harness off ebay. Can someone tell me if I will need the MOST termination loop and bluetooth cable as well? Sorry, this starts to get confusing after hours of searching.
