BimmerCode Help
Hello all.
I have a 2016 740i M-Sport and was trying to use the BimmerCode app to customize some things in the car. The functions that I want are all locked under BDC. This is the error I’m getting when trying to access the BDC. I’m using the MX201 Bluetooth Adapter. Any ideas? |

Forget the Bluetooth or other wireless adapters. Just buy the BMW ENET adapter. It’s provides access to all modules, and codes very fast (couple of seconds).
I had a Bluetooth adapter, and it was limited and slow. Not worth the money or time. Also, with the ENET adapter you can use it for advanced coding if you ever need to. This is how I got Apple CarPlay activated. Just search eBay for BMW ENET. I also needed to buy an iPhone lightning to LAN adapter for it to plug into my iPhone. |

You also need to put the car in diagnostic mode by hitting the on/off button 3x quickly. I am not sure the Bimmercode instructions are clear enough on this.

I leave my adapter connected all the time. I just fire up bimmercode, select 7 series and it connects and the car automatically goes into diagnostic mode. To the OP. Does your adapter say OBDLink MX+ on the front? If it’s doesn’t then it won’t be a MX+ hence why it may not be working properly. If it does then the adapter may be faulty so see if you can get a replacement. |

https://www.scantool.net/downloads/updates/obdlink_mxp/ This is the app https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/obdlink/id879636351 Open it up and select settings then select firmware update. You must be connected to the adapter for this to work. |

https://oemnavigation.ga I've now had CarPlay for 6 months and it always works great. I made my radio preset buttons shortcuts to CarPlay Music, CarPlay Maps, etc to make it even easier to switch between stuff. |

I've beenusing Bimmercode on my '16 G12 and '18 G01 for a year without any problem. It's been 6 mo since I last used the app, but iOS has updated it to the new 3.6.1 version. Used the app on the G12 today and suddenly HU NBT EVO module could not be read anymore, regardless of connection (tried both ENET and MX+); while all the other modules worked. I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling the app but no success. No problem in the G01.
Just noticed in Bimmercode manual that the app doesn't work if the HU has had 3rd party coding done (such as Apple Carplay or NAV unlocking, etc). The strange thing is that my car had ACP and lifetime FSC coding BEFORE I purchased Bimmercode and it's been working just fine till now. Last edited by jlin101; 07-19-2020 at 04:52 PM.. |

Sorry to bump an old thread. Helping a friend with his G12 with CarPlay added and running into the same issue. Is there any way to restore the HU without using E-sys?
