I'm getting ceramic tint on my car and worry about this dimming effect. a few have purchased a small USB light to shine on the instrument cluster IR sensor, but I didn't know the sensor affects the control screen, too?!

Just don't do it. I have had ceramic in every car for a lot of years now and went ahead and also did not listen to everyone here. My mistake - and an expensive one, I am sure. I'm giving up the battle and soon having the ceramic removed from the driver/passenger widows and installing "dyed" tint with the low IR ratings. It will look fine from the outside, but certainly is not ceramic.

(BTW, I referenced buying a small light earlier. It didn't get the job done, unfortunately, having just received it this am.....Nowhere to properly mount it and too small to be as effective as I want)

I normally am not one to throw in the towel but afraid I am on this one. I know BMW is not changing their minds on this one after 2-3 years of reading complaints. It's over.

i cant say for sure about that.... it might. Few people from my bmwclub have their windows tinted but they don't have any problems with brightness.. and i got no idia why is that...

it appears certain brands affect the sensor more than others. one guy from Texas mentioned he's been using Xpel ceramic tint for many years without dimming issues. that's what my detailer applied to my car, which I will pick up this weekend, but I am already willing to tolerate the dimming because I really want the heat rejection qualities of the ceramic tint.

I also have not had a problem with this issue. My X7 currently as 3M Crystaline tint (for heat rejection) in the front two windows, the sunroof and on the windshield. The sensor for the cluster dimmer is on the side of the cluster and I can manually induce the dimming by putting my hand over the sensor. However, even when I manually induced it, the amount of dim never seemed enough to negatively effect my driving experience. So I would say this issue is very subjective...

I believe you have to code it open then pull the fuse that controls it to keep it that way. I've seen a few posts on that but am not personally sure which fuse it is.

Can you please share more of your experience on how the steering feels in Comfort Plus mode?
I have X5 Xline 30d in India. The steering is very annoying for City driving, as it does not return to centre after a turn.

Thanks,
Raju.

- Comfort Plus Driving Mode (works quite well, I at least think I notice quite a difference with Adaptive M Suspension Professional)
- Additional Speed Adjustment up to 60kmh (was not activated even with SW update)
- Video in Motion

Does anyone know how to code the number of flashing when locking / unlocking with Bimmercode? I think the following codes might be the ones, but I can't find them in the Bimmercode app. It seems I can't access the FEM_BODY module.

FEM_BODY 3060
QUITTBLK_ENTSCHAERFEN_ANZAHL

FEM_BODY 3060
QUITTBLK_SICHERN_ANZAHL

Any advice would be highly appreciated!

Is there a code for Comfort Plus Steering mode?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Regarding comfort plus and seats... Is there coding via e-sys or bimmercode to have the seats move back upon exiting like my other vehicles?

I coded this feature on my M3 using the following post: https://f80.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh...3&postcount=30

I have not tried to do this on my X7. However, while I was doing some coding with BimmerCode recently (to restore my coding after an OTA update) I noticed that two modules were added for the X7 that I did not remember seeing before, which are the driver and passenger seat modules. So, using the post above for the F80 as a reference, you can search the seat modules using Expert Mode for similar parameters to do the same thing for the G07. Of course, there are no guarantees that BMW is using the same nomenclature across different model generations, but it is a start....

Can anyone explain why we'd need to have: Display Options iDrive: Cover Artwork?

I use both Apple CarPlay and music files loaded to the HD and both have album art appear when playing. Am I missing an additional feature?

I’m working on a solution for the dimming issues. Still prototyping but so far it is working fine. Just cleaning up the mounts still as I want everything to be perfect.


You can see details in this thread.

I think BMW calls this feature "Easy Entry / Easy Exit"...if you do a search using those words (BMW easy entry easy exit coding)...you should find some videos and coding threads that discuss the parameters.

Hopefully the info you find uses the same modules you have. Good luck.

[iconoclast]

Thank you very much. Greatly appreciate the help.

I tested the comfort plus coding back in 2019 on a G05 and couldnt tell any difference.

None of the old coding for easy entry/exit work on the current S18A platform vehicles.

I wanted to code out the steering retract/extend but failed.

[iconoclast]

Noticing this as well... a great deal of items were shuffled around into different modules or coded differently.

Bummer... sucks you can't disable it. The germans are probably like why would you do that.

It's just a setting on my F250...

It's a PITA as I've had the extend fail for 24 hours which makes the car hard/dangerous to drive. Fortunately it started working again, and has worked since, but I can guarantee it will fail again the day after the warranty expires

[nZtiZia]

this thread is many pages long, but from what i've perused in addition to online videos, i coded each desired feature one by one, even if it was in the same module as other features:
i coded > shut off vehicle > waited 15 seconds > restarted vehicle in Diagnostic Mode then moved on to the next desired feature. was this overkill? something about messing up the DME if coding more than one feature simultaneously?

still, it was a successful (and fun) process!

• alarm sound EU
• B & W sound profiles/equalizer
• brake force display 10km/h
• iDrive startup animation M VARIANT 1
• tire pressure control PRESSURE AND TEMPERATURE
• window lifter interruption NOT ACTIVE
• fog light off with high beams NOT ACTIVE
• auto mirror tilt value 60%
• one-touch turn signal 5 times ACTIVE
• initial seat belt reminder after start NOT ACTIVE
• tailgate via remote OPEN AND CLOSE
• video in motion ACTIVE
• warning at start-up NOT ACTIVE

desired features ikheetleon:

• change Warning Chime
• rear brakelight daytime running lights
• soft-close tailgate

OBDLink CX also automatically puts my MY21 45e into Diagnostic Mode when connected to the Bimmercode app.

may this problem (dimming) be cause of screen protector (glass) of speedometr screen where the sensor is ?

Something that you added? Or referring to the factory?

I think it's just a matter of the sensor being too sensitive and being in a really bad spot.

The one i added. Ordered one from Aliexpreess. Hate scratches from car washers on the speedometr..
