Bimmercode Ambient light missing F96/95?

denaliman · 03-22-2023, 03:29 PM

I have been using bimmercode for while. I don’t see an option to change ambient light color in standard mode. I thought I saw it a few weeks ago as an option

, seems to have disappeared. Could someone with bimmercode and f96/95 be able to check and see if they have this option for me. I know it was added to the G06/G05 bimmercode so not sure why it would be excluded for M variant. I sent a service request to bimmercode and waiting for a reply.

So I could not find the ambient light option in the X6M/ X6, F96, G06 bimmercode. I switch the vehicle to X5M/X5, F95,G05 and I see the option there. Since the X6M and X5M are virtually the same I think I will attempt to code my X6M with the X5M codes and see if that works.

The Bimmercode website lists the coding parameters for the F95/F96 and also gives the control module it can be found. Are you looking in that control module?

Also check the OBD II adapters listed for ambient lighting to verify that what you’re using supports those coding parameters.

Yes. It was not there for X6/X6M on bimmercode. Support told me to uninstall the beta program and reinstall current stable version. Still no option. I brought this again to Steve at bimmercode. Turns out there was missing code. Steve fixed it with an update. Works now.

Well that’s great news! You’ve helped X6/X6M owners that may have assumed they didn’t have the capability to code ambient lighting. Your persistence helped everyone.
