Is BimmerCode the most versatile product?

What are the other options?

What can be coded? I want the following:
  1. Start / Stop override
  2. Air recirculation always on
  3. Video running on the big screen
  4. Have SMS read to me and dictate replies
  5. Have email read to me and dictate replies

I don't know where to start. There REALLY should be a subforum on coding. Man, that would be useful.
I am not going to code my car but out of curiosity : why would you have air recirculation always on? Doesn't seem healthy and aren't you going to have problems clearing your windows?

Reading and dictating sms you can do with CarPlay. Steering wheel button activating Siri: last sms. It will dictate and after finishing ask you if you want to answer. If you don't use CarPlay it is not possible anymore like it was with idrive 6.0. Don't know if you can code this.
