On the X7 it is, but on the 5-series in the US it is not normally available, as it requires the 4-Zone Climate Control, which is not an available option except on the M5. There are reports that some people were able to have their dealer go through the regional rep with BMW NA to get permission to add it on the build order, but most were not able to.

I ordered ambient air.
I used for 2 weeks and stopped as it is cancelling out the "new odor" of the vehicle. Ambient Air will be useful after several years when the odor/smell of the car is getting old/worse. Once the car starts to smell unpleasent, I will activate ambient air. If you think you will replace your G30 after 2-3 years, its a waste of money. If you keep your cars for many years, order ambient air package. Remember not to use it in the first 12 months as the ambient air cancels out the original smell of the G30. |

Your hope is rewarded. I found a way to reset chip.
It was a long way. Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Final part with software links Sorry for Russian but it will take too much time to translate all this text to English. Besides Google Translate works fine these days (I've just checked, it works even better than my own English skills ). When in text you will see reference to Seagull or Chaechka - it's about my G32 6GT BMW. |

I did it and it worked. Thanks alot for sharing it with us. What i've done:
1. bought ACR38U-I1 card reader 2. download the script fount on "final part" 3. extracted files in c:\ 4. tear the card reader apart, and now begins the hard part. You have to fit the cip on the exact place of the reader in order to work, that's why he made a template from a card. I tried several times without a template and i manage to get the right position. 5. start cmd on windows and type :"run.bat -terminalIndex 0 -reload" so the command should be c:\run.bat -terminalIndex 0 -reload If your cartridge is well placed on to the reader you will see it working and reseting the cartridge. |

I was able to order it on my US-spec 2018 540d along with the 4-zone climate control. It was a special request through BMW NA. I know other forum members had done this as well, since that's where I got the idea that it was possible. |

I have it on my Canadian spec M550i. Overall, I prefer it to traditional air fresheners. Less clutter and the fragrance gets pumped directly through the vents.
The price doesn’t seem that unreasonable with yankee candle fresheners being around 20 bucks anyways. It is very subtle. Wish the fragrance were stronger. I only turn it on about once a month for a day or two at a time on level 3. I’ve had a cartridge last me about 15 months now. |

I really like it, takes up a bit of room in the glove box though.
My cartridges are now almost empty so will be having a look for a couple of replcements

It's fine but if you leave it on high, then the super expensive cartridge only lasts weeks. I bought two and turn the off and only run them once in a while for fun. Mainly it bothers me to have unusable accessories.
There is a way online to hack the chips on these cartridges so you can refill them yourself. |

Bought device to reset chip.
https://es.aliexpress.com/item/10050...yAdapt=glo2esp Tried. Downloaded software- It works, changes date and recognizes it as full. Now it's time to test with which essence you can smell better. Last edited by ruadpimi; 03-18-2023 at 02:52 PM.. |

Replaced both my cartridges last week, went with blue suite no.2 & green suite no.2.
Smells luuuverly, now to see how long they last. Have it set at 2.
