What bluetooth device are you using? From what I read, the device used can affect what displays. I had one when I first got bimmercode that didn't show everything. I picked up the Bimmercode recommended CX and it displays on mine after the 07/2023 update that I just ran. View attachment 37482
I’m using the OBDLINK MX+ bluetooth adapter. A few users reports not having the confirmation tone option post 07/2023 upgrade. I see you have the Android app, that could be what’s different, I’m using the iPhone Bimmercode app.

Another win for the green bubbles 🤣🤣🤣

No idea honestly. Maybe trying getting a CX and see if that shows it to eliminate that? Return it if it doesn't help.
 
I don't use Bluetooth, I use the ENET adapter and Android. Roof center not an option in Bimmercode after the latest update. Before the update, I had the options you described.

But, I figured out how to do it in BimmerUtility. Changed duration and frequency of the beep too.
 
Just got the latest update and of course, have to recode everything again. Every OTA update you have to recode for those that don't know. 4th time doing this for the headlights and other things. So, almost memorized at this point. There is a change that I'm not sure what it means. All the same for the expert coding until I get to the last 3 in the chart in LaMaster3. All previous times mine matched the chart. This time, under "LUT_AF_-CORERV_HOR" my initial setting was "Laser_US" like the chart, but now it is G011/Rr11/G22" Also, under "LUT_AFS_DRV_HOR" my initial, same as chart "Laser_US" but now it is So, it looks like BMW made some software changes. I went into detail for each of the new initial settings and they changed from the "Laser_US" by not being completely disabled anymore. However, it appears certain things are still not turned on so I would say stick with the chart from the OP.
Sounds to me like some of these just didn't get reset. Updates don't update everything ever time.
 
What Bluetooth adapter you used? I have an old elm327 that worked on my volvos V70 and XC40, but isn't detected by biimer APP.
Unfortunately, all listed on compatibility page seem too expensive (50€+ to Portugal)

ENET?
 
Enet has a ethernet connector, i think it wont work with the biimer app on an android phone
Why wouldn't it? Connect an Ethernet adapter to the phone and go. I use a USB-C Ethernet on my iPad for this and it works great.
 
It might work, but I still think 50€+ is too much to pay for this kind of adapters.
A 5€ was enough for my 2019 Volvo XC40, why do I need 50€ for a bimmer App adapter? 🤷🏻‍♂️
 
i have a obdb enet wifi dongle via aliexpress and works like a charm wih bimmercode en bimmerutility ( 39 euro )
i have the vlinker mc+ bt for sale :)
 
I received the BU (Bimmer Utility) Enet/Wifi dongle for Christmas. It is shocking how much faster that is (over wifi) than the cheap bluetooth one I was using.
 
I have these yellow odbii from eBay somehow I had issue connecting with WiFi but I use it with usb wire it works great. Worked on both BC and BU.
 
Hard-wired ENET cables will always be your best option for coding. It's both faster and more reliable.

It was, outside of the paranoia of completely screwing up the car’s lighting during coding :). I previously had coding for some other basic changes fail in the middle, and until I restored from back up, the trim lights didn’t work in the car…
Will your table work with/apply to Bimmer Utility or is it only applicable to Bimmercode? I ask this as a complete coding novice who just bought the Bimmerutility Enet WiFi adapter and will download the Bimmer Utility software.
