It seems pretty sparse for coding capabilities with the idrive 8.5 on the bimmercode app. Is there any way to force sport individual mode at startup or a backend way to turn off auto start stop?

What is listed on the web site is all that is available for Bimmercode. There is no way to turn off ASS or set the default driving mode using any available tool.

You can turn off ASS in idrive

Yes, but only temporarily on iDrive 8.5/LCI vehicles. You'll basically have to do it each time you start the car from the quick menu pull down.

What about coding using BimmerUtility? I would like to see about enabling Comfort Plus mode, maybe some of the traffic light stuff.

Is there a sheet available that shows what can be coded on a 2026 X5?

The sheet would be very, very small, just a few sound options. ;)

There are some pro coders that can enable anti-dazzle and there is a company that can provide signed NCD files so you could do coding as normal but have not heard anything one way or another as to whether it works or they are reputable.
