Can anyone recommend someone to do remote coding for my 2019 750i

TIA,
Steve

What exactly are you looking to get done? Is it iDrive 7?

I have a few things I know I want but I would also like to learn what else might be possible. The things I know of are...
1) Turn off the auto start/stop
2) Turn off the disclaimer screen at start up
3) Turn on full screen CarPlay
4) Add one touch blinker 5 times option

Would also like to learn if it is possible to add remote start. My car has the self parking feature (from the Display Key which I do not have). That feature needs the ability to start the car so it seems that remote start should be possible.

As to what version of iDrive I have, I am not sure. I believe (from reading posts on this forum) that it is iDrive 6 but I really do not know how to tell the difference.

Thanks,
Steve

One easy way to tell is to look at the cluster panel. With iDrive 5/6, the cluster is digital but in analog gauges configuration. With iDrive 7, there is Live Cockpit cluster with tachometer and speed on the sides. Personally, I like the analog layout more, it has class to it.




if you have ENET cable then I can code these for you, but cant tell for sure about turn signal x5 coding as this is a hit and miss depending on the vehicle and software level. Remote start is only possible starting with iDrive 7 and I'm not sure if it requires FSC or not. I can look into it, though.

Here's a link to the Bimmercode website that lists all the things that are codeable for the G11. Just click on the topic and it opens to reveal what is capable and what control module that it is in: https://bimmercode.app/cars/g11/

Bimmercode is really easy to use and for the cost of the app and the OBD II dongle or cable...you can code what you want when you want...or put it back if you don't like it. And most of all...if something happens like BMW has to update software or a module on your car that wipes out all of your coding...you won't have wasted your money in having to pay someone to re-code the car. You will already have the app and hardware to do it yourself.

If you are apprehensive about coding...there are tons of videos on youtube that shows how to do it and how easy it is to do.

In regard to what version of iDrive you have...just press the OPTION button next to your iDrive control knob and look for VERSION.

In regard to the one-touch /5 blink...it depends on model year and what control modules you have. My 2015 F06 650ix GC will not do the 5 blinks regardless of coding...but my 2014 F15 X5 did take the coding. But they have different modules. The F06 lighting is controlled by the FRM module...whereas the F15 lighting is controlled by the BDC module.
