When I had done this before with my F82, all of these steps weren’t necessary. So when using my previous methods with the F90’i ran into some trouble. Luckily- BimmerCode includes a super simple step by step trouble shooting guide if the OBD link isn’t read. You’ll need to triple click your “ignition” button in the car before connecting the phone to the dongle and then following through w the process The airplane mode is for the calls/texts but I assume to also ensure no other signal interrupts the Bluetooth connection

On another note, has anyone been able to get in touch with @Ryan@IND ? I've sent a few messages checking on the status of an order and haven't heard back. He's usually pretty good at responding.

Guys, I’ve been trying to code my car with my current Vgate OBDII, and although I’ve been ble to code a few things, haven’t been able to code out auto stop/ start, or go into Body Domain Controller.
Do I need a new adaptor, or can that not be coded out on the F90? I also tried coding my wife’s new F40 1 Series, but had the same issue. |

I don’t have any experience with VGate, but with BimmerCode and this official BimmerCode dongle, you can code the auto stop/start to “active” or “inactive” — at least for US market cars. BimmerCode F90 Features List I know you’ve already purchased the equipment you have so you probably want to make that work understandably. But if you can’t, this may be a viable option for you.

I will check to see if there is an iDrive setting for when I am in the car later today, but I don’t recall ever seeing one. I’m wondering if this is another one of those things that is different from market to market (and that’s why I’ve seen other owners having to code it out and wasn’t aware they were in other markets) as you and I were discussing a few weeks ago. Perhaps compliance with your local laws and/or regulations requires that there is no memory function. As a side note, speaking from experience, not all dongles support the full feature list. I can confirm that the above dongle does allow you to do everything that BimmerCode allows. The one exception is coding the car to start in a a particular mode (like Sport+ for example), but this is not due to the dongle. A BimmerCode representative had confirmed to me that this one option is not available on any full fledged M car.

I had a look on the BimmerCode website, they have a list of recommended dongles, so assume that any on that list should be able to activate any of the features? |

Go with the “official” one if you don’t want to mess around with figuring out what may and may not work. Even other ones they list don’t necessarily support all features.

Ok, so I’ve received the OBDLink CX BimmerCode Bluetooth 5.1 BLE OBDII and guess what the only thing it won’t code out is…. Bloody stop/start! Tried it in my M5, and my wife’s new 128ti, but it won’t work in either.
Has anyone in the UK coded it out, if so, which dongle did you use? |

Use the support link in the app. The developer has always been helpful and punctual with responses.

Has the OBDLink CX Bimmercode Bluetooth 5.1 been the choice for everyone here? I just started my research into this and it seems great?

This is the one that I can personally confirm allows you to change everything listed here. Not all the dongles available work for all of the features. The only thing that doesn’t work from this list is starting the engine in a particular mode (i.e., Sport+), but that is not because of the dongle. That feature is not available on any M cars per BimmerLink support.

I have used a number of adapters with varying results, but all are really slow when coding. The best option is to purchase the cable with the USB C at one end to connect to my phone and the OBD II adapter on the other end. No restriction on feature being supported and coding is nearly instant, so much faters.
I bought mine from Amazon. Hope this helps. |

i bought one that is obd -> ethernet. then i got an ethernet -> lightning and ethernet -> usb c. this way i can use it for my laptop when i have my coder connect to the car and when i connect my phone. works perfectly for both. also dont have to put the car in the service mode. it just auto connects. i put it in service mode for my coder to do other things because he asks me to but i never do that when i use bimmercode. https://a.co/d/bMreiiG

I can't remember exactly which one I did buy, have searched but can't find the details, but I have included a picture, it's basically the standard OBD II to ethernet cable that is used for the esys coding which I already had, so just purchased additional adapter from the ethernet to a USB C. This is definitely the way to go, Instant coding and no issues around the type of OBD II adapter used.
