Who is your coder? If it is not Vic, then my hunch is they don't know what they are doing. I have seen this many times. They are unable to resolve the coding needed and they start guessing at wiring issues. Reach out to Vic. You will have the welcome light error and will have to shut it down in iDrive like others.

That’s what my suspicion is. I read through this threat multiple times and came to the same conclusion. My coder is Brandon Lewis from Nevada. I got his name from one if the G30 forums on Facebook. He is sticking to his view that I need a jumper where I cannot find any evidence of this claim. Inly evidence he can provide is bulletin from EU BMW which I know doesn’t apply to US. I am at a loss how to prove it to him that he needs to look at his coding. I have also sent a message to Vic.
Strange thing is my lights are behaving exactly like an EU car. |

I reached out to Vic and he was out of pocket for the next week or so. In my impatience and off the charts OCD, I just wanted it fixed and made the mistake of having a different coder who said they knew what they were doing go in. He totally fucked up my coding and I was literally in the garage connected with him for 3 hours until 2AM when he declared it had to be a wiring issue. I paid him and What's Apped Vic and came clean. Ironically he was available. Back in the garage at 2AM, he went in and fixed his mess and corrected the anomaly I was having in 15 minutes. Lessoned learned. I reached out to the coder and told him Vic fixed it 15 minutes and he pleaded with me to let him go in and see the coding. No dice, that is Vic's intellectual property. He refunded my money. Facebook is not the best place to find a coder. They are vultures on those groups looking for business. It's 100% a coding issue if you wired it according to Euro's DIY.

Great advise. I have own Bimmers for long time and been part of lots of groups. You are absolutely right. I will get it sorted out and report back. This exercise also took a long time. 😊 The reason I went with this coder was that US to US wasn’t a big coding job and there was a recommendation on G30 USA Group. .
