Coding Adaptive mode on 530i with BimmerCode
Has someone coded Adaptive driving mode on 530i?
Per technical manual The ADAPTIVE mode is not always available in the G30, it also requires the optional equipment Dynamic Damper Control (OE 223 or ZDH). On 530i, this option is not available. I was able to code Adaptive mode with BimmerCode but it doesn’t show name Adaptive on the instrument cluster the same way it shows Comfort or Sport. Also not sure if the car is indeed in Adaptive mode? Should I revert back the coding? |

For Adaptive mode you also need the buttons next to the gear shifter beside sport and comfort is the adaptive button. Just cosing will not do anything if you dont have the buttons and the suspension.

If you've coded ComfortIndividual or EcoProPlus they also show blank on the cluster. Also if you've coded SportPlus only on BDC or NBT and didn't code it on the other it also may show blank.

However, coding was successful. It doesn't show any error but it shows Blank mode next to D. So my question was what mode the car is driving when coded with Bimmercode to default Adaptive mode even though the car is not equipped with ZDH. here is bimmercode page. https://bimmercode.app/cars/g30/ Default driving mode Values: ADAPTIVE COMFORT ECO PRO ECO PRO INDIVIDUAL SPORT SPORT INDIVIDUAL Requirements: “Body Domain Controller” BDC_BODY2 control unit |

What you've shared now is just changing the "Default driving mode" which is the mode car selects by default at each start. "Activating" adaptive mode requires custom coding in Expert mode in BimmerCode in BDC and HU_NBT ECUs. If you didn't do it, this means you didn't actually coded adaptive mode. Car probably stayed at the last mode before you coded the car. Even though it doesn't matter. Try to "Activate" adaptive mode through manual coding or change the "default mode" to any pre-existing modes.

Do you have instructions to do this in expert mode? Can you share it here or in the PM? The next logical question would be, even if I managed to do this in expert mode, would the car be in Adaptive mode? It doesn't have ZDH option. |

My car doesn't have SportPlus mode and SportTransmission (also shiftlights and LaunchControl) from factory but I've coded these and they work Car also doesn't have ComfortPlus mode from the factory (which have a softer steering wheel and softer setting for suspensions). My car doesn't have adaptive suspensions, but softer steering wheel option is available after the coding now. But my car doesn't also have ComfortIndividual mode. I've also coded that but it doesn't work, it doesn't show on iDrive screen, and it shows a blank space just like yours in the instrument cluster So it's test-and-see kinda thing. I've coded all but Adaptive mode, since selection of this mode requires a physical button on the side of mode switch. Without that button it would not be possible to select that mode (except coding it as the default mode may work). Even if everything went well only thing that may work would be the automatic change of modes according to driving style. Rest relies on additional hardware. So it seems like a long shot. But if you wanna try it (I don't suggest you do if you've never used expert mode before), check these parameters: FES_ADAPTIVE in HU_NBT and FesPiaDefaultAdaptiveWorldMode FesAdaptiveWorldMode0 FesAdaptiveWorldMode1 FesAdaptiveWorldMode2 in BDC_BODY2 Be careful to select predefined values while changing werte value. Don't enter any custom HEX value

Does these just need to make Aktiv from not Aktiv? FES_ADAPTIVE in HU_NBT and FesPiaDefaultAdaptiveWorldMode FesAdaptiveWorldMode0 FesAdaptiveWorldMode1 FesAdaptiveWorldMode2 in BDC_BODY2 I come from Esys launcher pro but used Bimmercode in expert mode. I assume expert mode in BC should be similar to Esys launcher pro. |

Best way is to delete that folder with OEM codings on the car (or at least with the codes that didn't caused any problems so far). Then connect the car. Read all the ECUs (don't code anything). Exit the app. Copy the whole BimmerCode folder to another location. Then code the car

Does the menu on iDrive also activated? Or can you select it with mode buttons on the mid console? And what does it do actually without adaptive suspensions and so?

I have a LCI 530i that comes with adaptive next to the sport/comfort/eco mode. I am still wondering what it does!
Other forums show it is suppose to be automatically on when you start your car, is this true or we must press each time we start our car? Did some reading between Adaptive Drive and Adaptive mode, the more I read, the more confused I get! LoL The only knowledge I got is this adaptive function helps you to take a corner and road condition better, am I right? Appreciate if anyone can enlighten me.. Thanks and have a great holiday! Cheers
