2018 M4 without touchscreen

[jimmy9980]

You can enable the touch screen via coding on a 2018


2) CID_TOUCH: aktiv (Active)
3) CID_HMI_TOUCH: aktiv (Active)

Anyone else with a 2018 M4 tried this? Is this done thru the Headunit module in Bimmercode? It would be exciting to activate touchscreen even when Muscle memory at this point is set. 😬

Yes I did the coding thru bimmercode. go into expert mode. Works 💯

My '16 M4 doesn't have a touchscreen but even if it did i wouldn't find myself using it at all mainly with how the screen is positioned its a full arms reach away. Compared to my Mom's '18 X3, the screen is much closer so it actually makes sense to have touchscreen

Confirming this did the trick. Thank You!

I also have an 18 M4 (F83) with touchscreen disabled...What "bimmercode" or what equipment do I need to turn it on?

Also I was able to default to surround view when going into reverse, but I just got it back from the shop and the dealer recoded the steering (replaced the steering motor/rack) and now it doesn't default anymore. I think I had "Park Asist" checked but am not sure at this time.

Anyone in the STL area to help code or program?

Thanks

I am getting Bimmercode and have a '18 M4. What/how do I "activate" the touch screen? I assume I need to get into "expert mode" while in "headunit" but I don't know what to do after that... UH, I just re-read this post and I found the answer...

2) CID_TOUCH: aktiv (Active)
3) CID_HMI_TOUCH: aktiv (Active)

Also I found a shop from the BMWCCA club meeting in Edwardsville IL. Cooper Autoworks, they will do stuff like this and specialize in "Rally racing"...

Hey guys,

I just came to this thread because I bought myself an f82 M4 Competition and noticed there's no touch screen.
So I did the coding with bimmercode and changed these values to active:

(3005) CID_TOUCH > aktiv
(300B) CID_HMI_TOUCH > aktiv

After the reboot, I did get the 3 squares in the top left corner, but pressing the screen didn't do anything.
Does this mean mine didn't come with a touchscreen, or am I doing something wrong? It's build date 26-06-2017, so probably a few days later they started fitting the touchscreens

6 years of driving without touchscreen and yes I can now confirm the coding suggestion above added touch to my 2018 f82 M4

Honestly, I never touched my screen in my 17 M3 to ensure that touchscreen actually works. And to be honest, I absolutely hate finger prints on the glass. So, I guess I'll never know.

My 2017 F83 had touch screen. Never had to switch it on, was in by default.

Maybe I got lucky?

My 2017 M3 ZCP doesn't have a touch screen And I'm very happy it doesn't.

Touch screen came in the LCI cars and they were disabled but you can enabled via bummer code. Those who want the touch function on the 17 cars have to buy the screen and code this in.
