Default to Adaptive drive, using bimmercode

For the life of me I cannot figure this out. Read all the how-tos on the internet.
Could someone break it down for me, step by step, what I need to click through in Bimmercode in order to default to adaptive drive when I turn the car on?
All I have is the full version of the Bimmercode app with the dongle.
(For the record it's a 530e)
Much appreciated.

It's no there yet for the G30 - you can stop looking for it. I guess if you did Expert Mode and had the coding you could.

Good luck. I have a 530e with Adaptive Drive and I had it coded to default to adaptive drive. So it definitely can be done. Just not by me.

I drive almost all the time in Adaptive Drive with occasional forays into sport individual. Never comfort (I can get the benefit of comfort as part of Adaptive) and never EcoPro. When I want sportier performance, I generally throw the gear shifter to the left.

Whether you do it yourself or retain an expert to do it for you (usually remotely), if you are going to drive regularly in adaptive mode it is worthwhile. If you do it only occasionally, then pushing the adaptive drive button makes more sense (to me) then fooling around with coding.
