Sport Display to HP and NM - No issue with warranty. No issue with insurance.
So is this for cars with no media and Nav you can set the screen to show the dials in the screen for BHP and NM , thanks derek |

I can change these from metric to imperial manually through iDrive vehicle settings and the system remembers the changes so not sure why this needs "coding" ?

Thanks for the inputs - they make sense with regards to the insurance company. So it's at one's own risk (aka I won't be doing it to my parents!)
On the comments about it being no issue for warranty - does anyone know that for a fact? I mean what's stopping BMW saying 'oh your reverse camera is not working? We noticed you've reprogrammed it to be on all the time - it wasn't intended for that' or even worse 'I'm sorry your car crashed due to an electrical systems failure because it seems that you've been reprogramming your software, and it's messed it up...' I guess the real test is that I should be able to call BMW tell them what I'm doing and if it doesn't invalidate the warranty they'll have no issues saying 'ok'?

If you call BMW and ask will it invalidate the warranty they will say yes so you have to get it done at the dealership for your safety which is an indirect marketing the end result which you will realise with the SA girl standing with the invoice.

I also have the Pro Nav and cannot change my KW to HP in iDrive. I already have NM. This could be because mine is an early F30 at June 2012 build.

I would like the boot to close automatically with the press of the button or even the interior button. It's really annoying - e.g. in my E61 if the tailgate is closing but you start the engine, it'll stop half way. You can't then make it close unless you press the button on the actual tailgate. Annoying. So what are all the software mods you guys have done - there must be more nice stuff to do...

but is it worth the cable outlay and software token cost. Does the same cable/software work for the E61?

No, only with the F10 newer 5 series.
If there is only one item you want to change it is not really worth it, probably better to see if there is a member near you that can help? Where are you based? |

Yeah you're right. Will see when I get the car then - might be able to live with moving my butt now and again.

Do you know if any coding can add the art work and BHP & Nm dials or is that just if you spec media and pro nav etc etc, Also Richard are you saying you can program the key fob to shut the electric boot, thanks Derek

On my Touring I can open and close the boot via the key fob as standard. Won't that be the same on the saloon ?

Dials are a function on the Pro Nav system only.

Seriously you can close the boot with the key fob without extra coding? That's mint!

Well you can close it as standard but you have to hold the key fob button down, and you can't do it via the button inside the car. The change with coding is that I can now just press either button once, and it will close all the way automatically.
It always felt a pain to hold the button down but also if you let go too early it would stop, then if you pressed it again it would go back up rather than continuing down. |

Can you do the same for folding door mirrors to avoid having to hold down the key fob button ?
