Well, what does it do then? What is "Sport Displays"?

As far as I can tell it does the same thing M View does. So not worth coding on our cars. Probably there for a non-M car.

Did anyone figure out the stupid orange led light in the front?

Longbow64 · 02-20-2015, 07:28 PM

I was sitting around staring at my phone and noticed my phone was connected to my car's bluetooth. The car is in the garage but I haven't been around or in my car for hours. Is this normal or could this be something I unintentionally enabled messing around with the speed lock and SL options in the HU_NBT file. I'm worried about my car's battery life. Just about anything that refers to speed lock is not active.

Edit: figured it out. Set SL09 back to aktiv

Can the car be coded with the ASS (Active Sound) module in the trunk unplugged? Or do I have to plug it back to code?

Attempted my first coding yesterday, and needed a lot of help from Shawn, who is super-helpful - and patient!

Thanks Shawn!

Does anyone knows how to code the show the actual (correct) speed on the display and HUD?

I remember I used to code this in 135, but doesn't seems to have that option anymore in F10/F30/F80.

Phox · 03-02-2016, 01:54 AM

So I coded all of these and Euro Mdm, but it seems like none of them worked. I did all of them at once, then saved and coded. Do you have to save and code after each "module" (ie. DSC)?
After I finished pushing the changes, the display restarted and my TPMS had to be reset. I guess that had to do with the Euro Mdm change?
I guess I need some help, already have teamviewer installed and I'm familiar with using the software.
I think I should start with NGHB, since that resets everything after coding. :/

My experience with the coding is very similar to everyone who posted on this thread.

However, I could not find the ECU to code the rear cameras on at any speed. The coding cheat sheet says its in REM 01 but there is no ECU for that. Am I missing CAFD files? shawnsheridan can you assist? Thank you in advance.

I'm guessing you need the latest ESys and/or pdzdata for this, as I found the module in mine. What I'm really here to share is that this got old really quickly for me. Once you're done backing out of a spot, for example, the camera stays on and you need to go out of your way to switch it back to radio or whatever else you were doing before. Convenient for when you want to see those giant testicles you've attached to your tow hook 24/7, but not much else.

Thanks for your feedback. THis makes sense. I quickly realized the inconvenience of my front cameras being on and not shutting off when I start driving away. I end up getting dizzy by looking at it as I turn it off...

Oh ///My · 04-10-2016, 01:42 PM

I'm stuck, having an issue when trying to "Read Coding data" under each CAFD. Where do I find the option to Read Coding Data? Everything I've tried does nothing.

Toggled to Expert mode... figured this step out

Can you tell me what the stock values are? I feel the same way but I may have jumped the gun and didn't save before I changed the values...

Wonder if ASD gets disabled when on a call??? That would kind of make sense.

Gibson6594 · 05-06-2016, 08:19 AM

My current setup is ASD disabled and exhaust valve fuses unplugged. Gives you the extra noise and grunt from the exhaust without synthetic noise being pumped directly into your ears. I'm liking it so far. The cabin is much more comfortable and the HK sounds better, but you still hear the anger coming from the rear.

Has anybody tried coding VLD, Variable light distribution, for those with xenons. I had this coded on my M235i and its pretty cool. It changes where the xenons are pointing based on the speed you are driving

I think you need a FLA/KAFAS camera for VLD which comes with some packages that not all have.

It should be speed based. it just changes the position of the headlights based on speed, ie. at lower speeds the headlights will be lower and wider, while at higher speeds the headlights will have a tighter farther throw
