I like the ID6L interface more. Easier browsing and a much more polished look.
Good to have choices!

2. The main menu can either be all 6 tiles or 3 live tiles. I think this is a nice option to have your 3 favorite info/data all on one screen. I haven't really used it this way but its nice to have the option 3. Overall its the same system underneath but the look IMO has been simplified and emphasis has been put into presenting the data/info in a more easily readable manner. Sometimes less is more and in the case of 6Lite, it definitely prioritizes making the data/info easier to read. Again, its all preference but I do like it better than ver 5. I say try it! If you're already getting custom coding (highly recommend do so) then this is just another box you can tick. Tom did a great job and had me in an out in about 10 mins. |

Yup. It's just a drop down value you change and save. Simple coding to change back to 5 Plus plus and up again to 6 lite

Im considering buying the hardware upgrade to go from ID4->ID5.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/BMW-F30-F31-...-/222441723976 How do I go about getting it coded? And also is there anything else I need, besides the hardware included in this auction? |

Looks to be a good price. I'd get it. It's worth it to just be able to speak to it and it actually understanding what I am asking. iD4 really sucks at voice commands. I tried it in the wife's i3 and it did not understand diddly

i was driving a 14 435i (ID4), just took delivery of a 17 M3 (ID5) but had an hour wait during delivery where i played around with ID6 on a new 5 series. big difference between ID4 and ID5 (not all positive). really miss being able to toggle between the top view and rear view cameras with a simple push down on the idrive knob. ID6 is simply a skin on top of ID5. not a huge change, but would do it if it was a simple upgrade. if i ever get my car coded i would definitely change to ID6, mostly for those live tiles

Ooh - the carbon black with navy interior they had on the showroom floor? Man it's pretty looking. Did you see the ridiculous frozen black M3 they have? If you ever get it coded, let me know - would love to get some other coding done on mine and i don't have a computer anymore to use myself (not going to go out and purchase one either just for the coding) |

not sure which 5 series (could have been a 7 series honestly), they all look the same to me i've never done coding myself. there is a company over at the M3 forum on bimmerfest that seems very reasonable. they send you the cable (and even laptop for an additional cost if you need one) and they will remote in and do everything for you. however, i looked through the list of things they can code, and to be honest not much interests me. here is a direct link to the thread: http://www.bimmerfest.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=911950

Is there a way to change out the 5series G30 picture with a 3series model? Not sure if a F80 is available, but maybe at least a F30? Should be a coding parameter, but after a first search, i found nothing applicable.
In the deeper car settings the pictures are correct, but not in the main menu... Last edited by Westerwälder; 05-05-2017 at 03:00 AM.. |

Tom,
Whats the trick in getting id6_lite to look like yours? When I coded mine from id5_plus_plus to id6_light, I get the below. I changed HU_NBT2 => HMI_ID_VERSION = ID6_light. Should I have selected something else or is there another code that needs updating to get the smaller icons like you have showing?

Thanks!! I got it to the 6 tiles.. but it wasn't the back button, it was the menu button.. Still, if it wasn't for you, I would have never though to even try... It seems I can cycle through the main menu with the menu button on iD6_light.

Hahah no problem. I haven't seen my car in a week so I forgot but I knew you have to got back one more level to see all 6 tiles. Glad it was helpful.

That has to do with head unit firmware (ie I-Step). With each release, more chassis icons are added.

Curious... i have a '17 X6 with touchscreen and Idrive 5. If I code ID6, will the touchscreen functionality remain, and should I code ID6_light or ID6_full?
