BimmerCode no BDC access?

CnSky · 05-23-2021, 09:43 AM

See photo attached no BDC access on my car?

Seems strange as I read on here people saying they have set adaptive as standard on start up which is what I wanted to do.

Anyone else who can confirm no BDC access is possible on a G30?

Same here, but i'll switch to an enet cable as bimmercode says it doesn't work over my bluetooth adapter

CnSky · 05-23-2021, 10:24 AM

Save you the trouble I'm using an enet already.

2017 530e maybe the BDC is different on earlier models?

Will email BimmerCode on it later also.

I can go into BDC. I use OBDCX bluetooth. Probably wanna use a wired OBD. Thats where you can change you ambient light color etc

CnSky · 05-23-2021, 06:49 PM

Already using a wired OBD.

Weird I can access everything but the BDC.

I coded mine to start in adaptive . I did over Bluetooth

CnSky · 05-23-2021, 07:46 PM

What adapter did you use?

Also what year is your car? I'm wondering if the BDC was a different part number in earlier models.

I used obd link mx for my moms 18 m550i and it's Bluetooth coded eco pro individual to start

CnSky · 05-23-2021, 09:48 PM

Weird I will have to try a Bluetooth one and see if it allows access. Thanks!

I also asked BimmerCode why I can't access it using an enet cable will advise their response.
