Is BimmerCode working for our G8x? I can't seem to connect to the car for some reason.

I actually reached out to Bimmercode and they told me the internal systems are the same as the G20 and we should be able to code the same list of things.

Correct Bimmer code Recognize the G80/82 as a G20 but now I'm thinking about seeing if it recognizes it as the X3M as well because there could be some hidden gems 👀 lol

What all have you all been able to code so far with it? Is there a chance that if it's recognizing it as a different car that you could screw something up and brick the car?

Most if not all G20 coding I have tried have worked flawlessly. Comfort closing, ASD off, hazards on emergency braking, closing trunk with key (exec pack). Somebody will need to be a Guinea pig for the laser coding however.

GX - BimmerCode

I've been fiddling with bimmer code and haven't yet been able to figure this out:

- I want the M sport display in my cluster "without" actually being in M sports. I don't want to lose my driver assistance - just want the display

- Lighted M Badge in the seats - I want to keep them on at night (i.e. come in with headlights)

If anyone figures these two out pls let me know.

Everything else works just fine.

Cheers.

Does the G8x have default option to fold mirrors when locking? I had to code it in my F80, but briskly going over the G20 options, I don't see it available. This leads me to believe that it is possible without coding.

Yeah BMW finally figured they should just make it default- everyone codes it anyways. Automatic window roll up and down via FOB is now default. No coding needed.

What are you guys using to connect to the OBDii

I saw some blue tooth devices on Amazon for $30. Do they do the job or do you recommend something else to connect to BimmerCode?

I'm using this.

OHP ENET OBD Interface Cable for... https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B07V3C47YD?...p_mob_ap_share

No issues at all.

That's using your laptop I assume?

I think I'm going to go for the Bluetooth version and just use my phone and leave the OBDii adaptor in the glove box.

This is the exact same setup I use as well. Never had any issues with it on my F80. I just keep the enet and iPhone ethernet adapter in my trunk and can code/decode whenever I please.

Hopefully when someone notices that support for the G8x platform is available, they will update this thread.

BTW, FWIW, I use a BT ODBC connector for BimmerCode and it works fine.
