Their website shows a generic list of things you can code so even if you click on the G30, it shows things that aren't applicable and/or unable to code for on our cars. It would be nice if they could keep their website up to date and only show what can be coded for each specific chassis because before I bought the app, I went to the website and it showed probably 2 or 3x the amount of things that can be coded in reality.

With that said, you're unable to code this with BimmerCode for our cars. I'm not sure if you're able to do it with other coding platforms.

What’s one example of a feature shown on their web page which you can’t code? Are you sure you have the proper module? I was able to find every feature which is on their website and I tried to code a lot of features

Here's a few examples listed on their website that you can't code or I haven't found:

- Headlight cleaning blocking time
- Headlight cleaning system deactivation speed threshold
- Active Sound Design is listed on their website as well, but that's only for M550 cars I believe so they should make a note of that on their website.

I think for the most part, BimmerCode has done a great job at making coding as simple as they have done. But I do think there is room for improvement and clarification for certain coding options and what some of them do.

I will check the first two and let you know. About ASD - I believe, only M550i, M550d and M5 have that feature.

I use the UniCarScan adapter. You're right, some of them do require a specific adapter. So far this one seems to work with all the modules and everything I've wanted to code.

I also use OBDLink MX+ and it supports all ECUs. But this option is now available through Bimmercode easy mode. I don't know if it can be coded in expert mode though.
