coding help on 2021 540i Xdrive- want to remember last transmission setting
I have a 540i Xdrive and hate the stop/start that is a default that can't be shut off in comfort mode.
To avoid this, we are driving the car in Sport mode, to bypass the dumb start/stop function. The only problem is that every time we start the car, it defaults to Comfort mode, so we have to push the Sport button with each start-up. Is it possible to code it so it remembers the last selection when restarting? |

Do you remember how to do it off hand? Which menu it is? Or did I have to do long coding on it? Can you please walk me through it? I’m a novice using BimmerCode and don’t want to mess anything up. Just to make sure...this is a 2021 540 with the mild hybrid (I know that the ASS system is different than others) |

Values: ADAPTIVE COMFORT ECO PRO ECO PRO INDIVIDUAL SPORT SPORT INDIVIDUAL Requirements: “Body Domain Controller” BDC control unit you can select it under Body Domain Controller when connect to BimmerCode. it have a drop list and you just have to choose which driving mode you want when start up. Watch some youtube video about using bimemrcode and you can do it with confident. |

I tried to do it just now. I was able to code a few other things, but when I tried to go into the "Body Domain Controller", I got an error message: "This control unit is not accessible with the used OBD adapter. For further information please visit our web site" I am using the VeePeak BLE+ adapter. Any ideas? Update: Now that I look at the instructions online, I see that my adapter doesn't say G series. I have used it on my F series car, and assumed that it would work for all cars. I guess I have to buy a new adapter...oh well Last edited by Up4speed; 12-29-2020 at 07:08 PM.. |

That’s why I set it to Sport Individual each time because that disables the start/stop. |

I ordered the OBDLink CX. It is listed in the BimmerCode instructions that it works fir the G series cars. I am getting it on the 7th or 8th. I will update with the results. |

I read somewhere else that even though the button is no longer there, you can still code the option to disable start/stop completely (i.e. not remember last setting, just set it to off), but I don't have a 2021 to verify this, just something I'm sure I read somewhere

I just got the OBDLink CX, and it worked perfectly! I coded the Driving mode default to be "Sport Individual". Now when I start the car, it's in Sport Individual, and I don't have to push any buttons to avoid having the ASS system kick in. It is essentially my "comfort" mode less the ASS system since I set all the parameters to comfort. If I want Sport or Sport PLus, I just push the button as always. Perfect solution! |

I've done it on my 2021 G05 X5 and a few customers with 2021 G05 X5 40i too. Downside, even Eco-Pro doesn't have ASS anymore. But who uses Eco-Pro anyway.

I now have a Sport+ mode, a Sport Mode, a Comfort mode without ASS (Sport Individual settings), a Comfort Mode with ASS, and all the ECO modes (which will definitely never be used, LOL). It defaults to Sport Individual (essentially Comfort mode without ASS) the most commonly used mode by my wife. So it's very convenient, and no functionality is lost. |
