Unlock hidden features on 2018 BMW 330i X-drive

gagearagon · 12-09-2021, 06:23 PM

Hey guys

So I’m not very technology savvy when it comes to cars. I’ve been trying to figure out how to do E-sys and do coding but I honestly cannot figure it out for the life of me and I want to be able to customize the electronics and lights and stuff. I also want to unlock the Apple CarPlay and update my software. Is there a place where I can find the code files and put them on a usb and unlock everything that way by chance??
Thank you all in advance!☺️

I have the exact same car and year.

I used:
Vgate OBD2 bluetooth adapter
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

BimmerCode app on iPhone

The above two are needed to code the changes you want. Simply download the app, pay for it, and choose the vgate and connect. It's very easy and tons of options.

I also got updated maps for the onboard Nav as well as CarPlay from Gerry. It works fantastic and he sends you a guide and all the files, you just have to provide him with some information. Shoot him an email, super nice guy and helpful.

OBD2 adapter: $31
BimmerCode: $30 (I bought BimmerLink and OBD Scanner as well)
CarPlay and 2021 maps from Gerry: $125
