Question M550i code exhaust flaps to a button?

Hi, wasn’t able to find an answer for this, so here’s the question:

I saw that it’s possible to code exhaust flaps to be open all the time, not just in Sport mode. So would it be possible to code open/close flaps to some button, like TP button or number buttons for example?

I would like to have an option for opening them while in Comfort mode.

Thank you.

EDIT: there is a thread at bimmerfest, where is mentioned to code it open https://www.bimmerfest.com/forums/sh...php?p=12643442, but in combination with the fuse trick. Make no sense to me.

My suggestion to pull the fuse was an alternate solution. And to the question of anyone done the fuse trick, clearly I have, I posted it in that thread I mentioned.

Why would you do both? The fuse method is 1) simple, and 2) easily reverted back to stock if you don't like it. Coding is a process that is more involved than my steps.

Got it, thanks. Your not getting any droning at highway speeds are you. I guess it is essentially like running in sport mode, when in any of the modes.
