G05 Coding Options

.. does one exist yet, or is it too early?

i would say too early.

I would expect that it will be similar to most of the other Gxx vehicles, such as the new 5, 7, X3, etc. The one difference for sure will be the headunit/iDrive options, as the hardware/software is different so it may take a little while before info comes out on coding that part.

Is there a link to the GXX coding doc someone could point me to? Been out of the game for awhile ... strongly looking at the X50i (but might wait a year to see if the M50i comes out)

I haven't been able to find "cheat sheets" for the newer models that list all the codes, apparently no one makes them anymore as there is supposedly a built in cheat sheet within the coding software now, but like you, I haven't had to code my F30 in over a year so I'm not familiar with the latest software.

There are several PDF's from user Almaretto who offers coding services, it has a list of what he offers and can give you an idea of some of the things that can be done, but doesn't break it down for those who wish to DIY. Just find the Gxx file on the page below:

BimmerCode works great, lots of options. It even lists “video in motion”
But I don’t see how that will work if the G05 has no DVD/CD player in the car.

Video in motion has supported USB drives for video since NBT in 2014, that is what I currently use in my F30. I have heard mixed reviews about the BimmerCode app, I prefer using my laptop and E-Sys, probably just because it’s what I’m comfortable with. But yes, ViM is one of the big reasons to use BimmerCode.
