I don't think screen mirroring works with iOS devices only android

I know, but still would like to activate this (have android as well, and would love to use as second phone and mirror)... also a wifihotspot (I want to pay for the subscription) would be a wish to activate.

Hi, following the instructions above I got SMS mostly working on a car purchased without Enhanced Bluetooth. However, new SMSs don't appear while driving. They only appear when I restart the car.

I failed to find REMINDER_TRIGGERS_EIN_AUS but think I got all the others. Could that one be the cause? Or any other suggestions on why it might not work?

Thanks

I seem to recollect when looking through all the possible parameters, there was one that sounded like it related to SMS whilst moving whic I set to aktiv. Sorry, can’t remember exactly what it was though.

Got it working. There are a few other settings I turned on like

PIM_MESSAGE_SENDING
PIM_NEW_ELEMENT_SMS
PIM_NEW_ELEMENT_EMAIL
PIM_CREATE_NEW

Also turned on

PIM_TTS
PIM_SPEECH_TO_TEXT

Can now control way more in the car via voice. Love my car even more now. Thanks for your help all. Wish I knew about Bimmercode when I had my old 3 series!

Assuming that you have disconnected, deleted and re-paired your phone and made sure that 'show notifications' is selected on the bluetooth settings on your phone, then when you have a new message, an icon appears under the clock on the dash between the dials, and also in the top right of the main control screen. You then find the message in the 'Notifications' tile on the control screen

Hi marchymagic,

If I understand your question correctly, for the standard UK SE spec car, no extra hardware is needed on the car (other than the dongle to connect Bimmercode to the car's OBD port whilst you are making the changes).

Do you have CarPlay? That dictates all my incoming SMS messages to me.

No CarPlay but I have it now thru the idrive so when I get a message I need to do via idrive and have it read out. Thanks to Almaretto for the help.

Can you confirm if doing these changes allows the car to have 2 phones connected at once - both could receive incoming calls?

Hi,

Great post...hope it’s still active. I’ve done coded all the options listed in this thread and it all seems to have coded successfully, but the emails, text messages, Office menus are not displaying (although are checked in the “customised menu option”) I have disconnected and removed my phone twice, but doesn’t seem to be showing - does it take time for it to show up?

Also, when I say “send a text message” the response is “the connected phone does not allow this option” (or words to those effects)

Can anyone give me some pointers?

Also, I’ve noticed by enabling these, it removed the Siri voice (when you press and hold the mic button on the steering wheel) - just FYI.

does anyone also know the codes to set to get CarPlay working?

CarPlay requires modifications to the head unit's CarPlay.ini file for the adjusted icon sizing and spacing. It's not just coding.

Cool, ok so the oem navigations package does this? I have gone through the order process and it says my car is compatible with the coding with cable option, at £65 it's worth a shot!

Should I reset my ECU back before before I code the CarPlay or should it not matter?

If not important is OEM solution on market are activators for face fsc, so you can make activation carplay, screen mirroring for android, also fsc maps lifetime and enable video in motion

You need to activate also these two for the 2nd phone:
TWO_PHONES_PARALLEL
BLUETOOTH_2ND_HFP

Hi all, long time reader, first time poster here!

Sorry to resurrect an old post, but struggling with coding enhanced bluetooth on my 2018 G30 530d. Have followed all the steps above and have most features working inc SMS notifications, but I can't for the life of me get the option to connect 2 phones... This was the main reason for trying to code it in the first place as it was on my recently traded in 2015 F10 530 and I'm really missing it... :-(

Any ideas?

TIA
