Could not code ASS memory with Bimmercode today

runbuh · 12-23-2019, 05:26 PM

Got my Ethernet connection cranked up and ran the latest Bimmercode app to code my 2020 M550i today. Everything worked as expected, except that I could not code ASS memory. Kept getting an EC error. So - I coded the default mode to be Sport Individual. Done.

With an Ethernet cable connected to an iPhone XS Max, coding is FAST (compared to a Bluetooth adapter). Highly recommended.

Just need some easy way to decode/recode/encode the adaptive headlights.

Anyone seen Almaretto lately? I PM'd him a few days ago, but no reply. Searches of the forums seem to indicate that he hasn't posted in at least a week. I hope he's just out enjoying the holidays.

Happy Festivus.

It helps if you read BEFORE you jump in. ASS needs to be coded with the car on, but the engine OFF.

I have now coded ASS memory with Bimmercode.

You cannot have the vehicle running and you should be in diagnostic mode in the car. It's the only module that requires this in my experience.

Thanks, VG. That definitely lines up with what I experienced tonight.

Got any knowledge around adding foglights to a 550i?

I haven't messed with any exterior lighting yet. I don't think there's much you can do with BimmerCode for those kinds of modifications. That will require a lot of programming that you're better off paying someone like almaretto to do.

He and I keep missing each other for what I want to do to mine. There are hundreds of parameters that have to be modified which will take entirely too long one by one in BimmerCode.
