This is the list of adapters.
Yes and my question is which one to buy? Are all the same or does 1 work better than the other or what is the difference between all of them?
Mine is the VGate I Car Wifi, but it only allowed for ASS memory setting. I believe the best ones are the two listed at the top of the list. UniCarScan and ODBLink MX+

Does anyone have either of those two adapters?

No idea which is better, but I have the MX+ and it works great.

Does the MX+ give you access to the ACSM_4B module? It shows green on mine but says I have the wrong adapter to code.

I have Carly and tried it a few months back, it basically can't do anything they list, they just list the same stuff as they can code for the F15 but none of it works, it can only read like 2 modules just like Bimmercode and not even sure it will code them as it gets errors when it reads so have not tried a write.

I’ve only used it with BimmerCode for the ASS setting retention. Worked quickly and flawlessly. I’ll probably use it for more as BimmerCode gets updated in the future.

Using Bimmercode to retain the A. S.S. setting do you choose active or not active?

You set it active to retain last setting. Once you turn it off with the button on the console, it stays off (unless you go into ECO mode).

Thanks. Planning to code tomorrow. Will be my first time.

Does Bimmercode work for an F10? If so, which cable do I need to buy?

Yes I have the UniCarScan, from Germany. It works seamlessly but only ASS is available for BimmerCodeApp (and Carly despite advertising more features).

Hopefully this gets hacked soon.

I also used my BimmerCode to program ACC. Also, I was able to code my alarm from US to Eurpoean settings. Has anyone tried this?

Oh ok. Yeah the Carly list was reading too good to be true. Thanks for the info. Having said that, what adapter do i get from BimmerCode? I am still confused about that if one adapter does it all and one just does certain things? Also, I want to plan ahead and get something that works down the line as more coding becomes available from either bimmercode or Carly. Any recommendations or info?

I just used a Veepeak BLE to code my A.S.S. The price at Amazon with the Bimmercode discount can't be beat. Piece of cake once I realized the car has to be in Diagnostic mode and it doesn't tell you that it is. Took about 5 minutes. Now just waiting for additional coding options to become available.

If I try to access Advanced Crash Safety Module it tells me I have the wrong adapter. With your UniCarScan adapter what does it show you when you select ACSM_5 module?

I went and purchased the OBDLink MX+ adapter and was able to code the Drivers and Passengers seatbelt alarms to off. Now I can drive with the seatbelts off and not have the alarm. I want to do so much more. But for now BimmerCode allows me to turn off ASS, Change the alarm from US to UK or Euro and the seatbelt alarms. The seatbelts are configured in the ACSM_5 module. The BimmerCode developer is not giving expert mode access to that module, which is probably a good thing. ;-)

Was the BimmerCode App updated? Or is there a special way to access/change this. I had this coded off before but a software update to my X5 wiped it out. I hate the seat belt warning/lights.

The ACSM_5 module should have a green dot showing it is supported. If you have the proper adapter you can code the seatbelt alarm to off for Driver and Passenger. The lights stay on but the alarm is muted. As far as I know Bimmercode has not been updated.
