Really glad I found your video. Been trying to determine the difference between Error Memory, Info Memory, and Permanent Memory; and which contains the errors I need to resolve.
Tks for this tech info. It will be great for DYI cars people. Can you briefly explain how it connects, does adapter go on OBD2 port and then use hand held? Tks
So use this for checking what's up with the car and bimmercode to change things with the car? I just want to turn of the BMW bings and bongs for everything =) Yes I know my doors open, I can SEE IT. =)
In the dashboard some of the layouts read PSI, F’ , V, KG/H , but the ones that say 0/1 what’s good and what’s bad because I have a few that read 1/1 and a few that read 0/1 . Can you help me understand this thanks for your time
Hi mate, would simple errors like headlight errors after changing to aftermarket led, block you out of the FRM in BimmerCode and throw up a critical error message, everything works on the car BimmerCode won’t let me even open up the FRM menu ? Thanks
Hi, Great videos, very helpful. On the subject of exhaust valves being kept open via bimmerlink. Do you have to select this function every time you get in the car after keying off? Or does the function stay in the memory. many thanks
@@delboy2596 I have the same question, did you find out if you have to keep running it each time? Same with active sound design (asd) will it stay off if you press it once off then just leave in the module?
So.... I wouldn't want bimmerlink if I have a good quality bi-directional scan tool correct? I Have Bimmercode and love it, Is there any reason for this where my scanner does the same things?
Hi Dean l recently changed the battery on my bmw 3 series 2009 now the windows are in anti mode will the BimmerCode activate my front windows Cheers Dean l would really appreciate your advice
For a total newbie like myself, but sensors do you recommend one should monitor? I just bought a E60 545i SE, but still haven't decided if I want to buy BimmerLink or Carly or something else.
Today I tried Bimmerlink for a couple of hours, and I found a number of problems for a "beginner"... I would like to have a table so I can connect a sensor value to a sensor that I know exactly where it is and the article number of that sensor in my 2011 X3 F25 30d. Then I need a table with normal values and limit values of that sensor. I think the raw values many times are between 0 and 5,000 mV in 255 (256, 0-255 steps). Then there are Three different "lines" "Engine oil temperature"... One of them shows a value. Then I have sensor value -100 °C, Is some sensor faulty, and/or do I have this sensor in my car? I have only one faulty code in my car, and I know where it comes from ("worn out" break warning cable, front axle). The rear break warning cable is "broken" but I don't get any fault code! Then I don't understand the values that I get from the DPF! I bought the car in January 2023 with 246,000 Km, and I don't believe that there is a new DPF. Infact I think I should also have Ista+ to learn how to interpret the values from Bimmerlink. At least the OBD2 PID values can be found in Wikipedia, but there is also no connection to where exactly a certain sensor sits on a specific engine. Nowadays everything is so complicated... The coolant temperatures are a little bit different depending on where in the system the sensor is! The questions I would have regarding the problems mentioned above, are just a small part of what Bimmerlink can "solve" or show. I would like to be able to hide functionality that doesn't apply to my car, but there is no easy way to figure out what is relevant and what isn't. I use a Android "pad", 10", to look at all the values. It would be quite convenient to be able to use the pad or cellular phone, to see if a certain value is faulty or not. In this case the developer has all the information, but he should make some of it public as a PDF file. If you print the file on paper, it would be quite easy to note the connected part number to a certain "sensor name". On paper you can always write something in the margin!
My alarm going off sometimes after locking the car and sometimes my rear door after locking the car dont lock but other doors do? My state of charge on bimmerlink was at %57 after driving it went to 73% do I need new battery? Or what could be wrong
can you help me how to activate the deactivated foglight, before i opened the bimercode (fog lights deactivation) then i clicked deactivated, now i want to reactivate the foglight
Love your videos. I have a 2014 BMW 328i. I used the Bimmerlink app on iOS and was able to reset the oil service on the app but it does not show as reset on the BMW display. Been working on this problem for a week any ideas appreciated. I deleted any error codes before I tried to reset the oil service.
Is the veepeak OBDCheck+ compatible??as connected on my f34 gt and don't have the sound option. I got the bimmercode and work perfectly. Trying to turn the exhaust flap but only record? Thanks and great video as usual
I have a issue on my bmw f10 about vertical aim and sidelight /daytime light .Will this app help me to find out what I need to do ? I have bimmer code and vegate .I reckon I need a tms module but bmw say to get it checked before spending money
I have a 69 plate 3 series which is still under warranty. The battery needs changing diagnosed by the garage but they want £400 so I’m doing it myself. If I start doing stuff myself will the garage know I have and could this invalidate my warranty for future faults. I’m going to use the Vgate and app to register the battery I’m just thinking if future other faults occur and I start diagnosing them will the garage know.
Hi Dean,could I take this with me when I’m buying a e53 X5? And do you know which e53 X5’s are the ones with £340 for road tax and why some have the tailpipes sticking out from the bumper and some don’t?
The ones with exhaust coming out means they are petrol models. The ones with no exhaust tips means they are diesel as they have down pipes underneath. The road tax difference is based on the model and year, but BimmerLink will work on the E53 X5
I agree but some don’t want the hassle of setting that up. I mean I use Ethernet myself when I’m using the original software but for BimmerCode the adapter works good and it’s cheap.
@@BMWDoctor I personally use the modBMW ENET adapter, which puts a wifi signal out, has it's password on the adapter and has a port for ethernet as well. There was no setting up needed, and loading times are great (i.e. when reading the big modules). Also officially supported by the bimmer link apps, as well as ista or some more advanced software. I'm sure you as a professional use an ethernet cable, just for anyone who is a casual user, these adapters seem like a sensible option, and mine cost like 40 pounds/50euro
I have them all Mate, but I do love BimmerCode I ain’t even gonna lie. I prefer it over E SYS and to be fair I only use e sys for Vo coding , and programming apart from that I use BimmerCode for everything else. I really do like it and the way it’s laid out. It’s something that many many other company’s should learn from and make it open so you can use ANY adapter not just “WHAT” they want you to use and charge ridiculous money for adapters for there apps.
Should I be buying this tool even though I don’t have any lights or errors on my dash but my car is doing a rough idle ? Is this worth it ?! Thanks you
Doctor, pls help. Why i cant use vgate on my e46 m47 year 2001 136hp? Is there some problem and can i fix it. Inpa can read fault codes and live data but vgate cant
I’ve got elm 327 will the app work with this please as I’m scratching my head over and over as my 2002 325ti has bloody airbag light on and the dsc and handbrake yellow warning lights on but the car has front pads and discs and new rear pads also both wear indicator wires for the brakes fitted within the last month so please help me in the comments please
Thanks for the recommendation. What will I need to purchase to disable TPMS on a 2008 e90 328i? I’ve added 2016 F30 320i M-Sport wheels with sensors. Plus the SOS is CRAZY!! Lol. You say the BIMMERCode won’t reset the electronic hand brake. I’ll need a tool to perform a rear brake job, right?
Hello there, i have rough start and rough idle, I have change injectors,coils spark plugs but still the same, what can you tell me about it please, thank you
Hi Dean @BMW Doctor, this is the case for me, vgate isn't compatible with either bimmer link or code. But strangely works with bimmer tool and other generic readers. I have a e63 on a 2004 plate
Hi Dean, I find your videos very informative and useful. Lately I am experiencing hesitation while accelerating after a stop at a signal and while going uphill as well. The rpm goes high upto 2000rpm and mpg needle moves to 16 mpg. Will bimmerlink be able to diagnose what's causing this issue ? Also does bimmerlink have the option of doing the dpf degeneration ? Many thanks
I had the same issue, did an intake valve cleaning and the hesitation went away. Unfortunately I don’t think any public scanning tool would be able to figure that out
Permanent DTC codes started around 2010. If you car is pre-2010, you might not see it as an option? They can't be cleared with a scan tool, so the problem needs to be fixed and then it'll clear on its own after run cycles.
Appreciate you very much for this extensive walkthrough. I’ve got this error and have not found anything online about how to resolve it: “0x36BE DME, coding: missing or chassis number wrong” Appreciate your support!
the only reason i got bimmerlink that i would be able to use it for electronic break when Changing rear brakes and IT CANT DO IT, also cant even clear emergency call malfunction after the telematic battery has been replaced, TOTAL GARBAGE , AND THE MAN IS JUST READING THE MANUL AND BARELY ANSWER CRUCIAL QUESTIONS OF THE SUBSCRIBERS.
