IIRC when I messed with the app a few weeks ago, some stuff that was set to arrive was off and when selected not active it was 'on'. I'll post an example if I can remember.

Can I just put an frm2 module it without coding it, making sure everything on it works?

I was not able to make my halos or headlights brighter.
A friend was able to do it using the Carly coder. I've looked and looked. Sorry for the confusion.

As for the mirrors, did you follow the diy on the bimmergeeks website?
I did that and set the mirrors to fold after 3sec holding fob lock.

I have also looked for the brake lights flashing on brake force but haven't found anything.


Also, are you 2 and everyone else using the bimmergeeks obd cable? Or a plain one from amazon/eBay?
You can buy a used FRM 2 module on eBay for $100.00 pretty easily. Just make sure it matches specific features in your car. For example, if you have AHL, you want an AHL FRM 2. I think it's number 23. It will say so on the label.

You will have to write the vin to it via WinKFP and then wire the VO to the NFRM. If your car is a pre-03/07, you will first have to change the production date to 03/07, then write the VO to the NFRM.

Hi all I have a few questions hope some one can help. I recently changed the radio on my E84. I beleive thr radio is from a E90. I also have an android screen. Afyer the new radio I start getting a hood open indication just on the android screen. No showing the error on the car. Can this be due to thw radio used to come from a car that has a hood sensor and mine do not have that. Is it possible to deactivate hood sensor with prootool?

The second question is related to backup camera and parking distance control. I got the audio warnings ok but the visual warnings are always red is it related to coding the radio? Sorry for the noob questions quite new in all this codding the car so it works as it should buissness.

Just ordered the bimmergeeks cable since I can’t use my amazon one anymore for some reason.
Decided to go with the cable instead of the Bluetooth adapter Incase I need the cable for other uses.
Or would the Bluetooth adapter work for any other app? Such as mhd.

Bluetooth for MHD hasn't been released yet but I'm almost positive you'll need to use their proprietary BT adapter when it is. As convenient as BT is, as long as everyone is requiring their own specific adapter to run their app, I'm just going to stick with BG cable, it seems to work with everything.

Got it, thanks for that.
Hopefully it gets here soon!
How long did it take for your cable to arrive?

Can I code out the battery fuse cable with this app?

I've read pretty much this whole thread and I haven't seen what I'm looking for. I bought the Carista module and app to change some settings and most importantly, change a setting for my AHL. I have a 2007 e91 pre lci. The customization I was hoping for wasn't available using that app. I'm under the impression this Bimmergeek app along with their cable will open things up for me? Also, question, I want to get rid of that insidious AHL failure warning light. Will this app code that out?

How long after ordering the cable does it typically take to ship? I've had an email from PayPal saying it has shipped but only the shipping label has been made. Its been a week. Thanks!

The app had an update about 8 hours ago that allows vehicle order edits!

WHAT'S NEW
Default (vehicle order) coding added.
Editing vehicle order added
Expert mode for coding added.
Read/write NCS expert nettodat files
Control units page added in vehicle menu to
access all ecu's on one page
Various bug fixes

With this update. ProTool is now a direct
replacement for Ncs Expert. Any missing coding
options are now available via expert mode

Ooo...does that mean it can change VO for things like e-LSD and brake nannies?

Sorry, no idea. I just directly quoted what the app update was on the Play Store.
I haven't tried the update yet, been sick this whole week

E-diff and the nannies aren't VO options, they're just regular codable parameters in the DSC module.

OK. In any case, can Pro Tools do these?

I'm pretty sure they're in there, but I haven't really gone through the parameters thoroughly. Look for C0F Diff lock and C0F FLR.

Would you please do a tutorial/example of using the expert mode.
To compare the workflow between it and NcsDummy?

Or how we can use NcsDummy to help with expert mode?

That would be very much appreciated.

Expert mode still has translations like Ncs dummy. Just click on the parameter.

We're going to get a lot of how-to videos for the app on the site very soon.
Glad to hear vids are coming! I've had the app pretty much from the start, and there is very little "how to" info available. Love the app 100%, and look forward to some additional support.

Thanks Bimmergeeks!

Any possibility to include the "“Fast Learn Adapts" as a procedure in the app?

Well.. not sure what made it work. I finally was able to enable 5 blinks on my main key

Things that happened that one or a combination of things made it work:

- new battery
- the fact the original battery was on its way out, so the app/OBDII adapter wasn't able to code it again, and now there is a new battery in??
- replacing the battery meant disconnecting it for a longer time, might helped reset something??
- the app also updated twice in the past two days
- Gods of BMW had a vacation and were not looking??
