2019 540i can't code start/stop
I have the BimmerCode app, which I updated and loaded the latest data, and everything works fine except that in the Engine ECU where we can set the start/stop to remember last setting, the update fails.
I presume that BMW is locking us out of this, since it's one of those annoying EPA regulations. My 2018 M2 had no such problem, so I'm guessing this was a new change for 2019. Anyone with a 2019 or 2020 had luck setting this option?

Have you tried reporting this failure to the Bimmercode app developer? Could simply be a bug. Or could be a change BMW made in newer i-step levels. Just confirming you are using one of the approved bluetooth ODBII dongles for the G series cars such as the Obdlink MX+?

I don't know if my dongle is approved, it was one recommended by BimmerCode when I bought it a couple of years ago. All of the other coding functions worked.

That's pressing start/stop three times, with no foot on brake pedal, right?

Following the instructions as described above, I had no difficulties coding this option last night.
Thanks everyone!
