Has anyone with a US F10 (Mine is 2014 F10 LCI) coded their US language to UK, to then be able to select German (or Deutsch)?

I'm hoping to code for both system language and iDrive speaking language, for German.

Appreciate any help, thank you!

F10 Rear Fog light

Hi,

Has anyone coded rear fogs to turn on with the front fogs using the front fog light switch?
If it's possible, does anyone have the coding reference for BimmerCode to activate the rear fogs with the front fogs light switch. Any input is appreciated as I've been trying to locate it but can't seem to find it.

Thank you !

Why not just buy switch with both foglights buttons? Or try dissasemble it, that lower plastic cover just have some stopper, i think that button is under it. I have seen guys on yt posting it is possible to unblock it and use that as a button for rear fogs. And, i can't believe the car has no rear fogs.... usually cars are not equipped with front fog lights.

Didn't wanna buy the whole switch assembly just to add 1 button. My switch isn't like the one with the blank button that has the stoppers. My previous F30 had it, I shaved the stoppers & coded rear fogs for free lol. For the F10 switch, I ended up taking it apart & found out its possible to add a rear FL button. Ended up ordering a new face plate & a button to make it work.
It would be nice to have rear FL button included with the car. Since they aren't mandatory in North America, Bmw didnt add the button for us even though the car has the hardware.

I cannot understand for rear foglights that they are not mandatory equipment in usa....im from central europe, rears are mandatory on all cars, at least only left for lhd countries or only right for rhd countries. Front foglights are additional equipment. 🙉🤯🤣

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 2042788

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
Hello,

How do you display XDrive Status?
I have already coded it.
