What are the top 5 options that are most useful that you can code with your BMW F45 and F46 (AT and GT)?


Often, people will ask me what are the common options that are requested. Well, it's really up to your own preferences but I will simply name these few options as a must-haves.

Here are the top 4 settings:


     1)    Auto Start Stop disabled by default instead of enabled upon engine start.

     2)    “Zero” second auto fold mirror upon car lock instead of default 3 seconds. 

     3)    Blinking turning light: set number of blinks to 5 to 7 instead of default 3 blinks during turning. May only works with car that has "dreimal" listed as an option in the "BLINKZYKLEN_ANZAHL_TIPP" parameter. Newer car with updated software will have to look for "PIA_DEFAULT_TIPPBLINKEN" and change it to "Tippblinken_fuelfmal".

4)    Radio and Navigation switched off automatically when driver side door is opened. 

5)    DAYLIGHT Running Light ON/OFF option enable in your head unit Connected Drive menu.

  1. Could you post the code parameter for all these points?

  2. Yes, sure.

    1) TCM_MSA_MEMORY (set to aktiv), TCM_MSA_DEFAULT_OFF (set to aktiv), TCM_MSA_ECO_MODE (set to nicht_aktiv)

    2) KOMFORT_SCHLIESSEN (set werte = 00)

    3) BLINKZYKLEN_ANZAHL_TIPP (set werte = 04 for 5 blinks)

    4) TCM_LOGIC_R_OFF_DOOR (set to aktiv)

    5) NAVI_AUTOZOOM (set to aktiv)

  3. Mmmmmh....ok. Thank you for this hint. If I'm not too pretending, are they all in BCD_BODY section I suppose, I already know some of them but I miss the section of the other:
    1) 3023
    2) ?
    3) 3068
    4) 3020
    5) ?
    If you have an updated document of all the sections, because I only find on internet an old one. I tried also to find VAM_UNLOCK_KL15OFF_AFTER_PIA_AUTO_LOCK but it isn't present on my car (218d AT 2015)

  4. 1 to 4 can be found in BDC_BODY. No 5 can be found in HU_ENTRYNAV. You don't really need other details as E-Sys allows you to find the parameter based on keywords.

  5. Hi, can't find this in BDC_BODY: TCM_MSA_ECO_MODE.
    I think they upgraded my version last time

    2. Thanks for you reply: I do have ECO MODE. which esys version and psdz are you using? Which I-level is on your car? I think is some software issue...

  6. I am using the latest Esys 3.28.1 and psdzdata v60.1. Not sure about the i-level though. Need to check later.

    2. Have to set it to F56. Had tried that on F45, F46 and F48 so far...

  8. First to say, I love your blog. Thank you for your work!

    I'm a newly proud owner of a used F45 and still getting to know the vehicle. What I was hoping it to have is the unlocking when I come near it with the key, without pressing the button. I do have the keyless switch, but I probably don't have the locking sensor on the door handle (at least nothing is visible). I would not mind locking it with the button, I'd just like to have it unlocked when I come to the car. Can it be coded?

    1. Great to hear that, Dejan!

      The option that you had described is definitely unheard of. So I don't think is possible. ;-)

    2. Perhaps I haven't expressed myself clearly. I was talking about "Comfort access system" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TnUxB9RHtBU My car does not have this additional equipment, so I was wondering if it was possible to make the unlock happen?

      Delete
    3. You will need to install Comfort Access system. Can't think of other ways...

      Delete
    4. OK, I was hoping it was possible with coding alone.

      Anyways, the OBD cable arrived, can't wait to find the time to adjust some settings that have been bothering me :)

  9. Hi!
    A thing that bothers me is the volume of traffic info which is way to loud. I could not figure it out really on what conditions does it set the volume. I searched the instructions book and Google but could not find a way to lower the volume. Is it possible with this software?

    Thank you!
