Would this fix aftermarket LED flickering at start up?

GenXer · 07-31-2019, 04:35 AM

I installed 2 sets of H7 LED lights in my MY18 X1
The LED bulbs are CANBUS ready and they work fine and don't show error code but they always flicker at start up due to diagnostic bulb check. So I wonder would this decoder work to remedy this problem or do I have to use bimmer code to turn off bulb check?

The bulb check can be easily fixed with coding change. With BimmerCode, just need to change bulb type to LED and problem should be gone.

Right, use Bimmercode. I installed LED bulbs in the front turn signals and at the rear for all bulbs. All the factory LED bulbs were set to type LED and had both bulb checks disabled, so I matched that for the bulbs I installed. All good.

On my F39, I had to change the "check bulb temp" to off as well as bulb type to LED using bimmercode.
