Same thing happened to me and im in a tough spot
"instrument panel malfunction" showing in the car after using Bimmercode and backup/recovery did not work. It keeps failing and now "coding data is invalid" in Bimmercode. Can I get some help please? I'm having the same issue... i have several error codes popping up in the car and no way to recover the codes for Instrument Panel. Any help would be much appreciated!! |

Update - I tried the recovery from backup again (probably the 6th time I tried) and it miraculously worked! She's back and error free... lesson learned. 1 code at a time going forward!

as an FYI - I tried 2 or 3 times the first day, and again the next day and it managed to restore defaults. So keep trying. The app is meant to do that, but I tried it a few different ways and eventually it worked. I can't remember what I did exactly, but the "failed" message eventually didn't pop up and car was back to normal.

I tried doing it next day after failing to do so 4-5 times on my first day. I have let my car go completely asleep then tried again. Tried restarting my phone (as guided in bimmercode support) nothing worked so far. I just got my hands on the cable but I'm having trouble navigating through esys |

Hi, I'm wondering if you can help me out. I have a 2023 Mini Cooper SE (electric) which I bought 2 weeks ago.
I used Bimmercode with my Android phone Samsung S21 and a Veepeak BLE adapter successfully to change settings in the car over the last week. A few days ago I changed a setting in the AC (automatic climate control) ECU section and got an error. The app would not let me restore the setting. It just shows unable to recover just like it shows on OP post. I have contacted the Bimmercode app developer and they said to use a enet cable which I ordered and is coming tomorrow. The strange thing is that I can still change other ECU sections such as Headunit or body domain controller with the app and veepeak. So I'm not sure the problem is with the veepeak. Since the error the defrost button blinks continually with the car on or off, the AC does not work at all(fans blow warm air), and the underhood car fan blows very loudly for hours while car is charging . I have disconnected the 12v battery to try to reset but it did nothing. I tried pulling various fuses to see if that would reset the AC ECU unit with no success. If anyone can help me restore the AC/automatic air control part I would be really grateful. Thanks for any help you might be able to give! |

Sorry I'm new here but have been posting under Joe C at insideevs Cooper SE section, apparently I can't PM for a week and after certain number of verifiable posts? Cabom4, if you're reading this I can create an email address just to communicate. Getting desperate..

I would recommend posting on a MINI Cooper forum but perhaps someone on this forum can help you. Wish you good luck.

I already posted in the mini Cooper forum and they advised me to post here to specifically reach out to CaboM4 given that it's Bimmercode, very similar situation with bimmercode bricking the automatic air conditioning, etc.

Fixed! Stephan from Bimmercode replied back once I got the enet cable and offered to remote into my windows laptop. He had me download esys but once everything was setup he was able to fix it in 2 minutes! Basically restored the automatic AC ECU back to stock. Everything back to normal! Whew!

Similar issue
Just got bit by what seems to be a similar issue using BimmerCode..
‘23 Mini Cooper, attempted to make a few minor tweaks and it failed while finishing coding… Where I am now is that I can connect (VLinker BM+ and IPhone 13 Pro), read everything and the Headunit section has a red dot next to it. When I enter, it gives the option to restore from backup however no backups are listed (usually). After a few tries, I’ve gotten the backup to show, but when I attempt to restore, it gets through the process to the tail end then throws an error. More times than not connecting, I can’t even see the backups listed (though I can see them in the BimmerCode/backups folder on the phone. Net / net is right now the head unit / iDrive will not boot up. Grrrr. Downloaded and set-up E-sys (properly, I “think”) and now waiting on the cable to show up (should be Friday). Not the outcome I was hoping for on the new ride with 200 miles on the clock… Any insight into anything I may be able to try while waiting for the cable then hoping to coordinate schedules with Stephan from Bimmercode (Germany) would be greatly appreciated.. Not trying to be the new guy abusing the vets, but @CaboM4, any thoughts by chance? Last edited by CygnusX101; 07-20-2022 at 10:23 AM.. |
