Bimmercode?

I got the cables, I got the phone, I got the app.
Anybody can tell me what makes sense to code?
Too many options, what do I "need"?
Thank you for any help. I'm just starting out as you can tell.

First thing almost everyone codes is the auto stsrt/stop memory. So that if you turn off ASS it stays off until you turn it back on.

The second would be all the legal disclaimers when you start the car. Code this off.

The third would be the drive mode the car starts in. I have mine coded to start in adaptive.

After all that you can tool around with the different displays and logo configurations. I ended up leaving mine stock but used the M logo for the boot screen.

Here’s a great thread on available options for BimmerCode. They are still coming out with more features so I would keep this bookmarked.

If you're using BimmerCode, there are no cables needed. You need the adapter that can utilize Bluetooth mode. As you're trying to connect, turn your phone into airplane mode and begin connection. The Bimmercode app should automatically detect model of car.

1) Code disclamers removal
2) Code Video in motion
3) Code side mirror fold on lock, unlock
4) Code /M logo upon startup
5) Code remove volume display as it's adjusted

I have a question, I'm sure it's answered somewhere - if you can point me to the right place..which Bimmercode setting is only linked to one key (driver) and which one is for the car as a whole?
I changed the drive mode for key 2 but it changed key 1 too.
Is there a way to code each key separately?
Thank you.

Bimmercode alterations are not key (FOB) specific, so when changes are made with Bimmercode, it affects all users.

Might be country specific - in the US this is a standard feature that doesn't need coded.

Same thing in Canada, just has to be turned on in settings if not activated from the factory.
