Keep in mind all of these have been done using BimmerCode as I don't have E-sys or a compatible cable...... and I'm lazy too... that too...

CAR: 2016 F11 520D M-Sport / HU-NBT

EBT (Office menu)
First thing, I was having a lot of trouble getting this to work, for instance, I could get the Office menu, but wouldn't see texts or emails, or I could get texts, but no cover art over BT, or I would lose voice commands and the ability to summon Siri from the steering wheel button... eventually I started looking into what each item on the cheat sheets did and found what worked best for me:

Attachment 2042803

This particular coding got me the following:

- Office menu
- Covert Art over USB and BT
- Full SMS from my iPhone (no email though, still working that one out)
- Full use of voice commands and Siri button
- All other functions as before

If anyone has anything to add that would aid in getting emails to work I would be grateful.

Remember you will have to forget your phone from the Bluetooth menu and forget your car from your phone, once all the coding is done, you should pair them up again.


Compass and x-Drive menu

I wanted the Compass displayed on my 6WA dash, and then I found that you could enable xDrive Status even if your car is not xDrive, to show the compass and pitch and roll (I don't think torque is working)

I have also coded the m550d logo, on the dash but that one I'm sure you all know by now how to do.

These are the items that worked for me:

Attachment 2042786

See below for pictures of the result:

Attachment 2042787


Video-in-motion and extended Codec pack

I've installed an SSD on the central console with a few movies (all legally owned ) and just enable these settings:

Attachment 2042793

I can probably upload a video if anyone wants to see how that looks while working but here is a few pics:

Attachment 2042795

Hope this helps if someone is having a bit of a headache like I was specially with the Office stuff.

Next steps for me will probably be trying to code SPORT+, but all my reading says it cannot be done just yet on BimmerCode for my F11 at least. Again, if anyone has any input, more than glad to listen
Does the compass and xdrive status works for 6WB cluster? Is it the same coding?

Does album art work with Android, or is this only for iPhone? For now, I can only get it working with iPhone and not Android.

Hi everyone,
I'm new here ;-)

Last year, I bought a 2010 pre-facelift BMW F01 740i from the US.
The car is partially converted from the US version to ECE.

I need to finish what someone started.

I removed the VLD blocker from my adaptive headlights.

After the conversion, some settings will disappear, such as the US Sidemarkers (the amber light in the headlights).

Their activation is not prohibited in Poland, so where can I find them in CADF, in which module?

I'd like them to turn on after the conversion.

I have a pre-facelift car, I don't have the FEM_BODY module.

Do you have any suggestions? I only see that they light up when the position rings are activated.

Photo attached

I have E-SYS, ISTA+, INPA. Don't have bimmertools etc.

Hi everyone, I've bought a F11 that had LCI headlights fitted and the high beams weren't functioning. The seller assured me that it was a simple coding fix to get it working, which is proving not the case. With no local garages willing to take on the work, I am working up a go at doing so with E-Sys. I'm getting CAFD errors, which i think needs the latest version of Pszdata to overcome. I will PM shaun once my PM is enabled!

Is there anything else I should check beforehand? are there any other modules that need to be changed in order to get LCI headlights to work?

Hello All!

I have replaced a faulty TMS module on my F11 from 2011, since the DRL didn't work. Now the DRL works, but I get an error message about that Headlight aim control doesn't work. I think I need to code and initialize the module.

I've got E-Sys and ISTA+ for this purpose, is this correct? Do you guys know of any instructions about how to proceed?

Appreciate your help!
