Same. I got a woody for no reason. At first glance it looks like a few tweaks to existing attributes, but no new functionality.

I'm going to give it a try this weekend. I was going to report that I was only able to see about 1/3 to 1/2 of the available categories on the website. Maybe this update is for folks like me which will enable the missing categories.

The categories presented to you within the app are the ones that are compatible with your car's configuration. Some of the features are option-dependent.

Does yours look like this? I am specifically looking for default driving mode but I didn't see it in "Body Domain Controller" prior to the update.

Can anyone provide me with a hint for what I should look in bimmercode’s expert mode? Thank you

Bimmercode update from today added this option. It’s now possible to turn off Automatic light control for position 0

one think I wanted, which it looks like should be able to be done, but isn't, is pushing trunk button to close and pull to open. Tried it numerous times, code never stuck. still have to push for open and close, counter-intuitive to me...

Did anyone get Bimmercode to code side and top view cameras on at any speed, or up to 255meters traveled? I figure with parking assist and/or 3d view this may throw things sideways, but just asking. Only 2 options come up on Bimercode under KAFAS for me. Had this coded on F10, but didn't have park assist pkg on that car.

I code with the car running, so wondering if that's a factor in the ECUs being available. Call me crazy about bricking an ECU on battery trickle

That worked for me out of the gate on a 2019 540 with Bimmercode. You do have to hold the button up (pull) for the duration of the trunk closing. Takes about 1 sec to initiate. Works fine here.

I always code with the car running. It shouldn't be a factor.

That would be nice. Update thread please if you get it - and let me know what ECU section and option to pick!

Well, that's what I said last week. I've since discovered that the ECU cannot be coded while running. You need to put it in "diagnostic mode" which is three pushes of the start/stop without your foot on the brake, to turn on the ignition but not the engine.

Right now there's only one option and it codes quickly, so no worries about running out of battery.

On a G30 the only feature you need to code in diagnostic mode is the Auto/Stop/Start feature.
