You can change it there, see if that works. I was able to add the MLOGO and Change the cluster color as well.
Yea, I have found the code for M logo and set it to "Alpina" along with the other Alpina code to "Active".. still the cluster didnt change to Blue like in the LCI Alpina 7 series.

Isn't folding mirrors standard on the 2016 750i? While I was testing few weeks ago I noticed when locking the mirrors would fold!

Hi Almaretto,

I'm picking up a 2016 750i next week, the production date on the car was April 2016. Does that mean I need the dealer to update the software to Nov '16 to get the folding mirrors to activate when locking? Thanks

Would the dealer update the firmware to Nov 16 for free? I’ll be taking delivery of my car next Friday. Vehicle still has one year of the original warranty + CPO for two years unlimited mileage.

Hi All,

Does anyone knows how to code the lights on the door handles on reverse on a 2019 750xi?

It’s not as easy on the 750 as on any other car.

That can and should be negotiated part of buying car. Ask them to update software before you pick up. Though, it can also be coded without update.

So the dealer just updated my car to 03/2019 version and I lost all my coding, but when I tried to code it back I could only see 3 ECUs on Esys, I have PSDZ Lite, can I with Lite see all the ECU or do I need the full version?

For coding, all you need is Lite.

Full is a waste of time and space to download, unless you plan to flash program.

Make sure firewalls are disabled and engine running.

How important is it to have latest software version before coding?

I'd like to enable CarPlay on my Feb 2016 750 but it's software has apparently never been updated.

It seems like the software updates via USB haven't worked for awhile and the only answer is to take it to dealer now, even thought BMW still has it available for download.

Software update via USB is not the same thing as full update via dealership or third party.

If you do not get update, software on car will not support.

Just bought a Nov16 G12 730Ld M Sport

Can anybody recommend a company in the UK (Preferably North West/Midlands) to program the M Performance logo in the centre section of the speedo and HUD and also the M start up animation, it is also possible to change the standard BMW shutdown animation to an M variant as well?

Thanks in anticipation...

I did mine using BimmerCode pairs with OBDLink MX+ BT adapter. Fairly easy.

Using BimmerCode I was able to switch to blue and remove the Alpina Logo. Love it.

It's different coding Alpina display on the LCI 7 Series with the new cluster layout.

Hi Almaretto,

As per your previous post you mention you have some codding knowledge for driver assistant, I want to ask if you know how to code ACC to resume automatically under 30s as mine will not resume after 3s when stoped.

I have found some possible options, but no longer have BMW to test out features.

Currently, I'm weighing my option with Carly vs. BimmerCode apps.

I will look into each app features and then go from there.

I just want to have the mirrors fold in when locked just like some other cars. Hell, even the KIA has them as a standard.

You cannot simply code option into IDrive, it requires software update.

However, you can code option to fold and control windows with CA or KeyFOB. That is in BDC.
