Hi All - Posted this in another thread, but suspect this thread has more folliwing:

So I finally took my X5 in for its first scheduled service appointment. While taking it in, I also let the service advisor know of the error I continue to receive when ever I try to engage the full autonomous driving mode while in stop and go traffic on the highway (via Assisted Driving Plus). I showed him the error message (below). Net-Net, he said that the car had to be recoded, because the module that controls the Drivers Attention Camera Module was changed/altered. Essentially, something I had coded via the Bimmercode app caused this feature to disable. I suspect any coding tied to the drivers attention camera caused the coding error. The only things I coded that could be tied to this would be:

1 - Removing the legal disclaimers (cameras, startup, etc) OR
2 - Video In Motion

Only other things I've coded were M logo on start-up, rear hatch, mirrors, no honk when car locked while running, etc ... none of which should have anything to do with the drivers attention camera.

Just checking in to see if anyone knows definitively what coding option would have cause the Drivers Attention Camera module to change + to warn others that this could happen if you have Assisted Driving Plus. I want to re-code all of the other features, so hoping someone can shed light on this.

Appreciate it.

Pretty sure this is the same version I've had for a while (unless it somehow updated itself while I wasn't looking), and which doesn't allow me to update BDC functions.

UPDATE: Okay, I'm a doofus. It actually DID update while I wasn't looking. LOL. I didn't see in in the list of the most recent updates on my phone when I checked, but after posting this, and checking again, I see it has updated. Can't wait to re-code the "start in Sport Mode" that I lost after the BMW update.

Hi, anyone knows if we can use Bimmercode to activate RDC (TPMS) and deactivate Run Flat Monitor? I tried to enable the new option, Tire Pressure Control but it doesn't read my TPM sensors. TIA

Do you have the RDC/TPM (direct) or the RPA/FTM (indirect) tire monitor system?

If your BMW is equipped with the RPA/FTM (indirect - flat tire monitor system) system...you need more than "coding". The RPA system uses the ABS/wheel speed sensors to detect wheel rotational difference...you don't have sensors inside your tires that are sending data to a RDC module that then sends that data onto the iDrive system to display tire pressure and temperature.

How do you know which system your vehicle has? My build sheet just shows "2VB Tire Pressure Monitor".

That would be a difficult question to answer without some parts research. But if you need a second set of TPMS sensors, most reputable vendors, like Tire Rack for example, will be able to sell you compatible aftermarket TPMS sensors for you car.

Here is the info on the TPMS:

Got the same message but i haven't ever coded this x6 ever. was driving in the rain. I thought that was the culprit. did you ever fix it

I've seen this error once while I was driving on I5 heading north from Seattle. It was pouring super heavy rain. As soon as the rain calmed down the message went away. I've also seen this a few times when going through a touchless car wash when I select the under carriage wash. The message goes away within 20 seconds or so after driving off.

I would guess this message is related to one of the cameras or the radar not being able to get a clear picture/reading that affects it's ability to monitor the surroundings. If this happens on a clear day with no obstruction of cameras or radar then I would expect a dirty faulty camera or software glitch.

I currently have a 2019 X3 M40i with Bimmercode coding done. Tomorrow, I'm scheduled to pick up a 2021 X5MC.
Will the app still work for coding the new X5M? TIA

Yes, that is a supported vehicle. Of course you will want to make sure you get the latest version of the app.

As mentioned in my previous post...you will either have the RDC/TPM system or the RPA/FTM system.

You should see at least one of the acronyms in the Tire Pressure screen in iDrive. What do you see when you pull up the screen...what is the text at the bottom of the display? Does it show RDC or TPM (indicating the direct system that uses sensors inside the wheel)...or does it show RPA or FTM (flat tire monitor) which would mean the indirect system that uses the ABS/wheel sensors?

If you go to the Bimmercode web site and click on SUPPORTED CARS...if your model is listed then it is supported...and it will also give you an idea of what can be coded, too. Did you check their website for availability/compatibility? www.Bimmercodeapp.com

Will this new adapter (made for Bimmercode) do all the same functions as the MX ?

Hello, everyone. Got my new X5 G05. Coded video in motion, but i couldnt find a way to make screen wild.. it shows videos in small square.. or change brightness..
Anyone knows how to do it ? Ive tryed all types of movie files recorded in different resolutions (720, 1080 etc)

That's how it is supposed to look. If it gets wider the picture looks stretched.

Unless you have the cinematic aspect ratio of 21:9 your image will be stretched on the iDrive screen. So you're better off keeping it like that.
Remember when everyone still had 4:3 TVs and the top and bottom of the movie was black bars to maintain the correct aspect ratio? Even if it were possible, the only way around it would be a ZOOM type feature which would cut out a lot of the picture.

Right, what VTENGR said. Plus if you were to stretch or zoom it, you would lose resolution and not be happy with the clarity. Here is your original along with a stretched and a zoomed illustration.
Stretching distorts the aspect ratio, most noticeably when you see wording or objects you know are square, yet look rectangular, it will also make people look wide. A zoomed view that keeps the aspect ratio and fills the screen will display the top and bottom most parts of the picture "off the screen" so you will not see them. Peoples heads and feet will get cut off.

Ok, i got it. Thank you.

Yes... I got it fixed. Had to get my car reprogrammed at the dealer during service. I tested it under the appropriate conditions, and it is now working as it should. This is not linked to external cameras (as someone else mentioned car washes, etc), this is linked to the internal eye camera in the dash (which would never be affected by external conditions). Dealer said the module for the camera was changed (which I can only link to the BimmerCode App). Not sure if I want to attempt to code changes again (or at least not touch any modules that could change the safety conditions ... legal disclaimers or video in motion.

No such screen on my 2020 X7. Below is what I get when I go into the Tire Pressure Screen.

Since you have both pressure and temperature than you have TPM. My understanding is one system actually tells you info whereas the other can only simply detect that one of the 4 tires is different, therefore either flat or underinflated.
