you have the new software. you need to wait for bimmercode to update to the new 2020 software. send them an email and wait.

or call r33_RGSport and see what he can do.

Bimmercode was just updated to 3.6 to include the 8 series with new software.

Just loaded the latest version but it does not seem to handle anti-dazzle as the only headlight feature is daytime running light. Can anyone confirm whom is using the app?

Unfortunately yes, anti-dazzle isn't supported by bimmercode. nor any other more serious engine or hardware mods.
Bimmercode is mostly the soft fluffy "safe" coding. You can try expert mode, but that's risky.

I had mine done by r33_RGSport and he did a great job with my laptop and remote connection. However, keep in mind that now you're risking more serious changes to the car.

that said, the anti-dazzle works great at night on small roads with light traffic. it's not that useful in city full traffic or completely rural no traffic areas. But a mild Suburban area with light traffic at night at small highway speeds, it's amazing!!

also Ben can code the trunk button and a couple other things bimmercode can't do without expert mode.

sorry it's the test version. you need the "beta", I got it by emailing them and asking for features not working.
I think I said the video in motion wasn't working, and they "invited" to the tester versions.

After a short wait I received my UniCarScan adapter from Europe and followed the online Bimmercode instructions and successfully completed my first coding. It's very simple and easy, although I wasn't able to get the tailgate coding to work and have sent Bimmercode a ticket.

Was able to sort out two very irritating items for me by activating memory for the auto stop/start function and the air recirculate function. I appreciate in Sport mode that auto stop/start is disabled. Just great to get into the car and not have to think about pressing these two buttons every time.

What I don't understand is why isn't this sort of functionality included in the BMW connected app for premium vehicles. For me to take the 8 into BMW here and ask them to code auto stop/start to be automatically off is $1,000. Unlike Europe, there is no law requiring auto stop/start here.

Anyway thanks to the forum for this great discovery.

Hi,

I have just purchased an M850i and was contemplating getting Bimmercode, what is the best adaptor to use ?

[Ozzie8]

I used UniCarScan and bought it from the vendor recommended on the Bimmercode site. All very straight forward and it works fine.

I've used E-Sys for years doing the work by myself. Then it got tedious, so I started paying folks with the inclination and time to do the hard work around research and staying current. I now have two great remote coders available to me who I've written automation for to assist in their remote coding endeavors--a win win for me & them (you know who you are ).

Can someone tell me what the killer features are that Bimmercode/the others can enable, please? I don't use everything so I'm wondering if it's time I went back to doing it myself but with shrink-wrapped packaging and far less effort (I presume).

My top 5:
- Set auto stop/start to remember the last setting (shut the damn thing off forever).
- Re-enable anti-dazzle automatic brights.
- Eliminate the legal disclaimer at start up.
- Code the inside and key fob trunk buttons to close as well as open the trunk.
- Lower the seat-ventilation temp to arctic.

That would be annoying as shit!! Luckily, M8s preserve that setting by default.

- Re-enable anti-dazzle automatic brights.

Love 'em, too. Having some issues coding them; keeps causing a turn-signal error (blinking rate wayyyy too high).

- Eliminate the legal disclaimer at start up.

so agreed.

- Code the inside and key fob trunk buttons to close as well as open the trunk.

Yup, on my list, too.

- Lower the seat-ventilation temp to arctic.

I'm with ya. Note, you can't actually adjust the temp, just the fan speed... bur my arse appreciates it either way.
