I stopped wearing smartwatches as they did not read my wrist due to full sleeve tattoos on my left hand. Cannot wear in my right hand due to a big gold bracelet. Thinking of buying Whoop band but want to make sure it will work well on the tattoos.
Hey all,
2022 BMW M340i G20, B58 engine. Recently swapped to a catless downpipe. No tune done yet. CEL came on after approximately 300km of driving — no dashboard warning message, just the engine light.
Haven't scanned it yet but strongly suspect P0420/P0430 catalyst efficiency codes given the timing and the mod.
Questions:
Can anyone confirm this is the expected fault code for a catless install on a B58 without a tune?
For those who've done this — is an O2 sensor spacer/defouler a viable short term option to suppress the CEL, or does the B58 ECU see through that?
Is there any other way to address this without a full Stage 1 tune, or is the tune genuinely the only clean solution?
I'm aware the tune is the proper fix — just trying to understand all options before committing. Running Dinan Carbon Cool intake and turbo inlet pipe alongside the downpipe if that's relevant.
Thanks

Can bimmer code help me enable a remote start for my BMW M340i 2022 Pre LCI? This functionality doesn't work in India, can Bimmercode help unlock it? What all devices will be needed along with Bimmercode app?
Hey everyone,
I have a 2022 BMW M340i G20 (pre-LCI) with laser headlights. I've installed an aftermarket RGBW DRL module (Car Craft CC-5097, JIAYI-based) that replaces the OEM DRL boards inside the headlight housing.
The problem: The module works fine — colors change via app and remote — but it only activates on ignition. The OEM DRLs used to activate on door unlock (welcome lighting). After the module install, that behavior is gone.
What Car Craft told me: "Connect positive to positive and negative to negative on the headlight connector." That's not helpful — I need to know which specific pin on the G20 laser headlight connector carries the welcome/unlock trigger signal so the installer can tap it correctly.
What I need:
The pinout for the G20 pre-LCI laser headlight connector (specifically the main harness connector)
Which pin/wire color carries the welcome light / door unlock trigger signal
NewTIS is shut down so I can't pull it from there
Has anyone done a similar DRL module install on a G20 laser headlight and identified this wire? Or does anyone have access to ISTA/ETK wiring diagrams for the G20 laser headlight connector?
Any help appreciated. Thanks.

Recently purchased a 2022 BMW M340i. Amazing Car. It has a stock exhaust system. However I want the car to make little more pops and bangs without changing the whole exhaust system. Do I need to remove the CAT and change the downpipe and delete the muffler or just removing the CAT and Muffler will work? I don't want to do tuning or change exhaust system. What are your suggestions and please share your experiences if any.
