5. Euro brake lights
6. M boot logo (on non-M cars, but usually MSport cars)
7. Seatbelt chimes off, although I recommend people leave them on, but I shut off the initial 3 warning gongs.

That's what I can think of off the top of my head as far as popular options.

Curious - can you expand on the "Euro Brake Lights" ? I am not familiar with this one.

Thank you,

Chris.

US Spec cars just light up the "adaptive brake lights" bright..the euro ones flash quickly to call attention that you are stopping hard.

5 - Turn Car off when opening the door(No 2 presses of Start button)
6 - Dynamic Brake Lights - Euro Version
7 - Auto Headlight sensitivity - they came on way too often before
8 - Auto Dimmer Mirror Sensitivity - Mirrors didnt dim enough since i tinted my windows.
9 - Remove Flicker from LED bulbs installed in the rear turn signals, Reverse lights
10- Rear Fogs to blind tailgating, high beaming assholes.

How do you code number 10 on your list?

Why is this not standard in the US...is it because of some arcane regulation?

Could I get the settings/locations of all of these? I'm still new to coding.

Also, the settings for the euro adaptive LEDs?

Thanks, I appreciate it.

mostly likely.. there are a lot of stupid laws here and i would imagine it has something to do with the DOT not wanting "flashing" red lights on cars....probably the same stupid reason we have to have amber colored reflectors on the front bumper.

I enabled the m laptimer, but does it require an iphone be hooked up or can it be operated by itself? I'm an android person. I don't want an iphone just to use my laptimer.

specracer · 03-10-2015, 07:15 PM

Boy do I wish for this too, but it's my understanding that it is not "codeable" out.

The M lap timer app is required but I am not sure whether or not this is supported on Android. It definitely is on the iPhone.

///M Lap Timer requires an E5 FSC Enabling Code in NBT to work.

Once coded, how do you activate the Rear Fogs?

There is a modification you need to the light switch set. The electronic switches are all there and active, but the physical switch plate is not able to be pushed in without a small modification, or you can buy one. There is a DIY step by step posted in this sub-section I think...

Thanks everyone .. sitting on the garage floor, watching her get coded right now.

Gotta say .. in the DC area, only one call to make is to John @ *************.

can the limiter be removed through coding?

Maybe, if DME has less than 10 hour son it. After 10 hours, DME is locked.

Damien8503 · 04-19-2015, 09:27 AM

Hey guys, just got my M4 about a month ago. So can anyone explain the basic concept of coding or point me to somewhere I can read about it. Thanks for any help.

funk74 · 04-28-2015, 05:03 PM

So are all of the below items still codeable on the new cars/software?
Just trying to figure what we can and cannot code anymore when they update the firmware in the car.

I tried to search, but i can't find that specific info and i'm sure it's here somewhere.

Thanks
