G30 Best Things to Code

Whilst waiting for delivery of my G30 (due in March) I wanted to work out what if anything is worth coding on it.

Having used E-Sys I know my way around the software but I'm not sure if there is anything worth coding.

Previously in my M135 I coded Enhanced Bluetooth and before that in my older 1 series I coded the digital speedo.

What are the most common things that people use it to code?

Coding is personal preference thing. It also depends on region. On this side of the pond, we have to code in options that are factory in other regions (NGHB, trunk closing, etc).

Other than that, I code the common things like:
  • Disabling Window Safety
  • Removing Disclaimers
  • Easy Entry/Exit
  • Tire temperature/pressure
  • Disabling horn on lock
  • Call log timestamp
  • Lowering Blindspot detection

Almaretto just coded my new 2018 530e today. He did a GREAT job and I would definitely recommend him.

I also used Almaretto and would recommend him. My codes were:

ACC- closest distance
Nightvision - turn on spotlight
change default driving mode from comfort (I had it changed to adaptive)
activated anti-dazzle light feature
traffic jam assistant at max speed on all roads
blind spot detection at 13 mph

Hi, that sounds very promising. I'd love to have anti dazzle, and closest following distance coded into my 2018 F90 as well.
What did you need to provide on your end for Almaretto to complete the coding procedure remotely, and how long did it take?
Could you share the cost as well?
Thanks in advance!
