New to me 2017 G12 750ix

Just purchased this bad boy CPO with 35k. Got additional warranty for 36 months. Only options missing I think are night vision and rear entertainment. Any recommendations on who can code some options for me such as alpina dash?

Thanks

Beautiful ride. Congratulations!

I personally picked up BimmerCode on iOS and the OBDLinkMX+ and did the coding through the application along with many other coding I wanted.

The OBDLinkMX+ can also be used to read diagnostics with some free apps.


https://bimmercode.app/adapters/


https://bimmercode.app/cars/g11/


I did the alpina dash and removed the alpina logo.

Note: if you're tech savvy, you could download the BMW software for free by searching for it and buy the cable. Probably say you back half the costs of the above recommendation. Coding is not as simple though without a cheat sheet or a lot of research. Just wanted you to be aware. I personally don't have times and wanted convenience.

Thanks so much! I coded my M5 so I am familiar. I was surprised however when I read some issues with people doing their own coding for the apple car play, so this concerned me if I should do it myself. Thanks so much and your dash looks awesome!

Keep in mind that the coding options for the G12 are somewhat limited when compared to other models. I tried using E-Sys like I did with my F15 X5 and much of the CAFD data for the G12 was missing or incomplete.

Well CarPlay is slightly different and more difficult. Glad mine came with the car. Didn't have to worry about it.

For our G12 non-lci there is a ton of coding options with BimmerCode. The LCI is limited.
