MGU expert mode in IOS Beta BimmerCode!

Just got a TestFlight update showing that MGU expert mode is now available. I have not tested it out yet, curious if anybody else have?

I just tried to access the headunit module and got an error trying to open it. I was able to open all other modules. You guys have the same problem? I just sent a support email to Stephan

What error did you get? If we can access the head unit module expert mode, we should be able to code sport plus in the iDrive too

Android updates are usually sent out a few days after the iOS updates. Can’t wait to try it out when it’s out for android.

I was unable to load any data for the headunit, all other modules worked (Screenshot attached). Stephan got back to me and asked to send a support request through the app with logs, so hopefully it will be sorted out soon! As soon as it is I already have an idea of how to get sport + in idrive, seat heating distribution, and auto steering wheel heat at certain temp (like seats)!

If you manage to code in sport plus on the idrive, do post the steps here. Someone else had posted steps a while back (changes made in esys I believe) in another thread but I can’t find those steps.

First off I want to say thank you to Stephan for both his effort on bimmercode and for responding to customer(my) issues right away and pushing an update within 24 hours! I was able to successfully access the headunit expert mode with the latest version and I was able to add Sport +, Seat Heating distribution, and Auto Steering Wheel Heat! Here are the instructions and screenshots:

Sport + (MGU-Headunit expert mode):

FES_SPORT_EXPERT: nicht_aktiv -> aktiv


Seat Heating Distribution (MGU-Headunit expert mode):

HVAC_SEATHEAT_DISTR_FRONT: nicht_aktiv -> aktiv


Auto Steering Wheel heat:
(MGU-Headunit expert mode) :
AKT_Auto_Lenkrad...: nicht_aktiv -> aktiv

(BDC expert mode) :
LHZ_CCM_IKF: nicht_aktiv -> aktiv
IKF_ENABLE: ikf_alle_size

Let me know if anyone has questions or need help! You can activate comfort plus the same way as sport plus (FES_COMFORT_EXPERT I think)

Oh man. I can’t wait to try it out! Thank you very much @JSaid!

Edit - Android hasn’t gotten the update as yet but I expect it in a couple of days, going by the norm. The wait is killing me

Has anyone coded sport plus and comfort plus actually noticed any difference vs non plus. I cannot notice any difference. I am super pumped though to code the steering wheel and seat distribution even though spring and summer coming if this virus ever clears.

Yes, I found a huge difference between sport and sport plus! Cant speak for comfort plus but sport plus has a lot more exhaust pops/bangs, handling feels to be improved significantly when powering through corners (m-sport too), the transmission hangs onto gears longer and is a lot more aggressive. It honestly feels like a different car. Install jb+, put the car in sport plus and turn of traction control(it pulls even harder) and you'll be amazed.

Just to be clear, to code sport + you also need to make a change in BDC using expert mode. You can find the change here: https://g20.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1697654
