r/BimmerCode

hey guys, I was wondering is it as easy as connecting the car to bimmer code going to ASD and turning if off and pressing code? or Ive seen some people say that may not work fully and you need to go and deactivate the FSCs license. anyone have any experience ?

thanks

(note ive disconnected fuse 203 to keep flaps always open but heard iconic sounds disables pops and burbles so I need to keep it on)

Hey all. Just picked up a 2018 F31 and have been fixing lots of small issues and maintenance items. Finally got everything dialed and she’s running great, but the iDrive/media is doing weird things (CarPlay disconnects right away and the Bluetooth audio glitches).

I brought it to the stealership to update the iDrive software, but they told me the car has several software options that are currently installed that weren’t initially purchased with the vehicle, and updating the software might brick the system.

I assume PO used BimmerCode or something similar to add these options. I also see on BimmerCode’s website that the system/software has to be stock/OEM in order to use their app.

That being said, am I safe to update my software at the dealer to revert everything back to stock? No chance of anything getting bricked? Can I use BimmerCode to revert these changes myself? Any help is greatly appreciated!
