Disabling "Auto Stop/Start" via Bimmercode
Dear All,
I tried disabling the Auto Stop/Start via Bimmercode, and when I completed the coding, the engine cut out and a warning message showed on the car's screen (not the instrument cluster, the other one), something about taking the car to the workshop etc. Naturally, I suffered instant diarrhoea and therefore immediately reset the code back to the default. Question is, does this happen to everyone when you disable it, or is there something wrong I'm doing? Thanks |

I didn't have any drama with ASS coding with Bimmercode and I don't believe I've heard of anyone else here with any issues. You do have to follow the instructions, specifically: a) car has to be in diagnostic mode (engine NOT running!), and b) disable all other wifi and Bluetooth on phone except the OBD adapter. Worthwhile to read the applicable instructions a couple of times and do things step by step as specified.
https://www.bimmercode.app/support/ While ASS hasn't had any trouble from anyone, some of the other functions seem to have regional or software version dependency — for example, Canadian G05 versions didn't work for a while until Stephan cleaned something up in Bimmercode to fix that. But that exhibited itself by just not allowing coding of specific ECUs until the fix came out, nothing as dramatic as your experience so far. PS By the way, ASS coding doesn't disable ASS. Rather it allows the car to remember the last ASS setting — not quite the same thing, but in practice almost as good.

It's normal to get a error after a successful coding. Suggest you read all the instructions on Bimmercode as some ECUs only code when you follow specific steps promoted by the app.
