ASD option not available in Bimmercode

PK1 · 09-09-2018, 06:05 PM

I just picked up my new 2018 F80 and wanted to deactivate ASD, so I purchased Bimmercode along with the Veepeak adapter.

I was successful in connecting the app to the car but the ASD option is greyed out and when I click it, it says "coding data not available." Other options are green and available.

Anyone else come across this? Deactivating the ASD was the only reason why I bought Bimmercode!

Many thanks.

Works for me. I have turned it off and on a dozen times already to see which setting I like best.

I had also asked the same question through the "contact support" function in the app, and received a response this morning that this will be fixed in the next app update "soon".

Presumably it's a known issue, possibly because something may have changed in the programming of the more recent cars? I'm speculating...

Update in case this helps others:

In a follow-up with BimmerCode, they told me that the "app is missing the necessary data for the software in [my] car." Apparently an update to the app is coming in the next two weeks to correct the issue.

My car was built on August 9th, so it seems there were some recent software changes, at least as it relates to ASD.

Good to know. Mine was built on 6/26/2018.

Thanks for this info. I just got my F80 two days ago and tried turning off ASD using the Veepeak adapter and it was grayed out for me as well.

Bimmercode pushed out a coding upgrade. I saw that when I started the app today. So maybe update the app, fire it up and update the coding codes to try again?

I read the response from BimmerCode to mean an app update will be coming to address the issue (as in auto update from the App Store), which I haven't yet seen. Can you clarify what you mean by a "coding upgrade"? Something updated within the app?

On the bottom of the screen I see Version 2.12 (6759). What do you see?

I have the Android version so the numbers won't line up with your iPhone. By coding upgrade I mean start the app and it says there are updated coding configuration. It'll download the updates and then let you into the app. I don't know if the iOS version has this.

The BimmerCode app did update yesterday and the ASD is now green. You are able to turn it off, but I am not sure if it stays off? When I go into it and turn it off and shut the car off and turn it back on, it says unknown state. I didn't buy the app yet, so until I do, do I have to keep turning ASD off every time I start the car?

danchee · 09-18-2018, 10:52 AM

Mine stays off after coding.

Interesting... I haven't seen an update and I've been checking everyday. What version do you have?

Thanks, perhaps I should have asked: I'm assuming this is not on an Apple device, correct? My revision number is something completely different.

Ah yes sorry about that, I am using android.

I decided to pull the ASD plug because I didn't trust the app since I didn't pay for it, but I'm sure the app did work as I didn't notice anything different after pulling out the plug after turning it off through the app.

If you didn't pay for it, you won't connect to the device to program... When you connect without paying, that's just the demo version that doesn't actually talk to your car.

Oh if that's the case then I guess I wasn't able to tell the difference between ASD being plugged in and not plugged in. But I thought for sure when I used the app to turn ASD off, I noticed a difference. But at least I know for sure that ASD is not enabled cause I unplugged it.

Got an update for the iOS version of the app yesterday, one of the update notes specified addressing the coding data for cars with the most recent software update.

I won't get to it for a few days, but will provide an update after I try it again.

Update: worked like a charm!
