naberlin wroteNothing can void a warranty. What it can do is if there is a problem and the dealer/BMWNA can tie that problem to the coding then it won't be covered. They can definitely see that a change has been made but unlikely it would cause your lights to go out.Is there any risk of voiding the warranty? During service, can the dealership detect that change?

I only ask because something I read that Bimmercode cannot read a module after hacking Apple carplay into it or something. This might sound silly to some of you, but I'm a total noob hahahaha.
A BMW user wroteNo.Does having someone code anti-dazzle using whatever method (I guess esys is their preferred way) in any way effect what I'd be able to do later on in Bimmercode? There are some features in Bimmercode that I'd like to custom dial-in (example: rearview mirror tilt percentage or anything else that would require me experimenting with the settings available).

Almaretto wroteHoly smokes that was fast!No.
Gotta say, this is the best forum EVER! Seriously.
The amount of concise information is astounding on here.
naberlin wroteAdaptive, turn with the steering wheel, is not available on the LCI. The matrix lights have some lighting to try and add some light but it is not the same.Does corner bending lights included in that coding? Or they just not possible on LCI. Someone was saying that BMW removed that completely and there used to be mechanical solution that turned headlamps into a corner on a highway
With that said, what can I NOT do in Bimmercode that I exclusively need esys/BimmerUtility? Is it just the anti-dazzle thing or others like enable traffic jam thing over 40mph and on all roads (for example)?
I have a 2022 45e with every option in the USA. And after reviewing tons of videos and FAQs here & there, I already know I want to change quite a few things on the car via coding.
A BMW user wroteQuite a few things can't be done in Bimmercode. Obviously you do not want to enable ETJA for over 40 mph but that would be an example of it not being able to be done in Bimmercode.I'm conflicted. I don't have Windows and coding would be a big uphill task for me, but it seems there's a lot of real help available here.

My recommendation would be to list all of the things you want to do and see if Bimmercode supports it. If they don't then you know you either need a coder or another piece of software.

Also, if I go the BimmerUtility route, does it have all the cheat codes to make it super easy to interpret like how Bimmercode does? That is the main/only real enticement for buying Bimmercode. Example: does BU have a cheat code for the anti-dazzle?
Again, TIA!

It is not a tested system and if you get in an accident you may not have insurance to cover you.BimmerUtility has cheat sheets and I think the ability to do other coding, I don't use it but many here do.

A BMW user wroteI wouldn't think that was correct. If you are using BimmerUtility just use their option.So if I use BU, will this enable full anti-dazzle? I;ve compiled this after several DAYS of reading HUNDREDS of posts... Gonna drive me to alcoholism!

TurtleBoy wroteSo you're saying BU is easier? I get that you haven;t used that app, but it looks easier than using straightup esys on windows?I wouldn't think that was correct. If you are using BimmerUtility just use their option.
That would be good news. I'd love it if someone at some point chimes in that HAS utilized BU.

A BMW user wroteI'm not aware of any 37mph minimum. Are you maybe thinking about the laser lights? The high beams come on around 20 or so.Also, is the speed at which this enables adjustable from the 37mph? Lower would be much better (like 30mph) because of the slow speeds where I live and the abundant amount of deer.
TurtleBoy wroteOops, pretty sure I'm thinking laserlights, yep. LOL nvm then on that.I'm not aware of any 37mph minimum. Are you maybe thinking about the laser lights? The high beams come on around 20 or so.
Effectively, BimmerCode has already scripted some function changes, so it's pick it off of a menu. I've not used BimmerUtility. I don't drive all that much, and much of it is in the city, so the anti-dazzle logic, though tempting hasn't crossed the line of where I really want it bad enough to attempt.
Since the US adopted their dissimilar requirements, there are likely both hardware and software changes required to enable it in the USA legally, while meeting all of the US new requirements. Maybe in the next generation, as they'll have had a few years since those requirements were settled.
TurtleBoy wroteWhat is there option? Is it in the cheat code area ??I wouldn't think that was correct. If you are using BimmerUtility just use their option.
NewBMUU wroteI have never used the BU. If they don't already have a menu item for it then I would imagine you just drop the procedure that is normally used in Esys. Remove 5AP and VO code BDC, HU_MGU, KAFAS and both FLMs. Then do the FDL coding forWhat is there option? Is it in the cheat code area ??
