Fantastic videos.... every time man. Keep them coming!
BMW should be paying you for these videos.. Your videos helped me purchased a F15 with confidence..
*if only*
Glad my videos helped you!
Word man I'm looking at getting this exactly model 2014 and newer
Picking my f15 in 4 days and I’ve been binging your videos they are great! Thanks for all the info.
I’m glad you are finding them helpful!
Insane 🤯Codes.... I need them 🏆
This guy definitely deserves a M behind his subs.
Thank you!!
Because of all your BMW X5 videos, on my 38 birthday i bought my first big car. That Big Black X5 F15. Thank You! And.. wish me luck :D
Congratulations!
The wife cameo appearances gets me every time 😂
Great content as always. I've also done a bunch of those codings as well on my F15. I like how easy it is to code.
Great video thanks, “Thic F30” has a video about the pulsating rear lights and whole lot of binmercode stuff.
Yes, he’s the BimmerCode guru. I’m thinking the pulsating lights isn’t a choice with my ECU. I can see it in demo mode but not when I’m actually coding.
Thanks man
Have you coded any of the entertainment features? I used Bimmercode to do some coding to watch movies in my X5 and my 750i.
Moreeee x5 f15 pleas ambientlight codding thanks🤩
Excellent video of my brother from another mother. I should start doing some videos too it'd be fun we both have the same car. Well mine is platinum silver but has every package available $20,000 in packages when it was new. Incredible. It's a 2015. Definitely looking forward to collaborating with you more
Are you in the Bay Area?
Hello.... thank you for all your valuable info.... I do have a question. Just bought a 2015 X5 35i and when the Ac is on it blowes super hot air out of the left vent and under the driver's seat.... it always blows hot..... please help???
Hi Eddie! Did you get your wheels powder coated? If so, where did you get them done and how much? If not, do you know of a place where I can get it done for a good price? I really like your black wheel color (I have the silver BMW stock color same 2014 X5 as you).
Backdoor, mine those that already. The sound of the alarm beeep when lock, unlock. That was loud, mine dose not make any sound other than the locking mechanism. But the mirrors I want to learn how. The high beams you talk about. I live in Norway and own a X5 M50D F14 2014 M-Sport. And this is my first Bimmer I own. I have had that with the heat lights on my Volvos, but I don't know if my Bimmer can do that. So I turn my high beam off. Just wondering, can you make the light's over the dash and the doors The blue light's, or I use the blue. Can that get even brighter than the factory?
u should make a vid on making the speedometer animation to an m animation
Hey Ed how are you doing My name is Dennis I have a 2013 X5 E70 I did the code for the tailgate I can’t get to the mirrors is it possible to do with this X5 please let me know Thank you in advance
Nice one bro
Great video!! ... I just bought a 2018 F15, BMW X5 x35i .. no M Sport Package or anything, just the premium package (like.. heated rear seats..). How can I tell if I have front headlight sprayers? Is it a separate switch on the column or does it just spray when you do a manual spray on the windshield?
Your front bumper will have square cut outs just below the headlights. There isn’t a separate switch. They only activate when the headlights are on or auto and every 3rd spray of the windshield washer with a 10 min block time by default.
Great video! Question...how do you get the daytime running lights to pulse at 5:22?
Thank you! That’s a good question. What’s happening is the frame rate of the video is capturing the cycling of the LEDs. The naked eye cannot see it happening in real life though.
I have a BMW X5 2018. can I change the lane change from the default 3 flash to 5 or 6
Great Video !! After some coding today my real time MPG display was all over the place. I was using bimmercode to do simple stuff like mirrors fold when locked etc. If you have ever seen this or know how to fix it please let me know !
I would restore a backup and try it once again!
Hi. Im getting my first bmw next Wednesday. Its a x5m. I live in Australia and im trying to understand how u code it??
Could you code remote start??
I got a 2012 BMW x5 xdrive35i Premium, can I code these same options
Great video. Very informative. Just purchased a BMW X5 f15. Want to start coding. I watched Thic F30 and he says that you can have your car with engine running while coding. I want to get your thoughts on this before I start coding.....Thanks.
I’ve tried it with the engine on and no problems and I also had remote coding done, and I was instructed to leave the engine on during the process. Depending on what you code, I’ve have the engine turn off automatically during the reset. My personal preference is engine off, acc on(driver’s seat belt fastened). Make sure your battery is healthy.
My transmission going out right now on this car , hate to get rid of it, mechanic quoted me 15k smh 🤦♂️
I can’t seem to find the code section for increasing vent seat power. Can you help me locate that one? Ty
Can you do the same stuff with Carly?
Love the videos man... How do i code on US side markers? I dont have head light drive module. Only have Body Domain Controller. Many thanks
They could have been disabled. Did you buy used?
You can close the tailgate with the button. You just have to hold the button down. Wing mirrors again are standard feature on mine. Close the windows again a standard feature, you just hold the lock button. All these things have been standard on every BMW I have owned, I’m U.K. based.
Both of my X5’s would not close with the fob. I would hold it down for a long time.
@@eddiemcars which years? Mine is a late 2016. I hold down the tailgate button and it closes. My neighbour who has a 2015 also does the same.
Great video and nice cars! Jw, I haven't been able to get an answer either way, but, will coding my F15 or G05 affect my vehicle's warranty? Wouldn't the dealer be able to tell I've modified my vehicle's coding when they plug the remote into the dealer's reader? I've hesitated to do it before until seeing this app and OBD adapter. Looks like a much simpler technique. I'd love to be able to do a few simple things, that should've been configurable in the car itself, like close the windows, sunroof & tailgate from my remote, and make the lane change have 4 blinks instead of 3. Would also like the anti-dazzle work as designed too (one of the main reasons I bought the car). Our G05 will arrive in Oct.., I hope to be able to tweak it if needed.
Thank you! Coding won’t and shouldn’t void your warranty because, in reality, these are features BMW built into the car. They’re enabled or disabled in certain countries. So, the way I view it is that I’m activating features that the vehicle is designed with. As far as coding euro anti-dazzle lights, it can’t be done via Bimmer code but it can be done with E Sys connect, I believe. There’s a coder in NY that codes my car remotely while enabling trailer mode when I purchased the stealth hitch. (Complimentary coding)
@@eddiemcars thanks for the info! I think there's some people on Bimmerpost that do it too. Remote coding would be great. I'd be willing to do that. Keep those videos coming.
Yes, if you drive on any dark roads you will appreciate the anti-dazzle. It’s really nice! My favorite part is following a car with the high beams on both sides of the road they never get blinded!
You can close the trunk inside you just have to hold it down
The tailgate remote closing is probably disabled in the US. I'm in Europe and mine works from remote and the button inside and its like that without needing coding.
Yes, that's correct!
Thanks!
Wow! Thank you so much for the support!!
Hi there ! There is any video explain about how do you code the opening windows by remote control ? I will try to program this weekend !
Sorry for the late reply I have another video about coding. Not window specific though but it's in there. kzhead.info/sun/gad7nbeOsH-GoqM/bejne.html
I just downloaded the bummer code app. Do I need to purchase the adapter?
Hi Edward, interesting video. Also liking your rims, what are their specs (diameter, width and offset) thanks. Jurgen
They are the factory 20” BMW 469m wheels. Rear is 20x11 with a 37 offset Front is 20x10 with a 40 offset
@@eddiemcars thanks Edward
Hello Eddi, could you tell me where exactly in Bimmercode I can find the option to include the European option for the high beam assistant? I can't find this option anywhere, I have the same BMW X5 5.0i from 2016 imported from the states. Greetings from Poland! Thanks!
Can you answer my question???
The body domain on my X5 f15 says no coding what can i do to fix it?
Could I get some insight on where to find the Euro High Beam Code? I have applied many of the recommendations here and they’re wonderful but I can’t find the High Beam Coding anywhere. I’ve also been told this car has the lift gate fuction - leg under bumper swipe and open. I don’t believe that’s an option. Any insights? Thank you
Christopher Evangelista the Euro high beam had to be done with esys coding with the e net cable/laptop. I had someone do it remotely when I had the hitch coded. I think it can be done with BimmerCode, but only in expert mode and I wasn’t ready to venture into that territory. You are correct, there isn’t a kick to open option for this vehicle.
Edward M Cars Thanj you sir! That was prompt! I need to do the hitch as well. How did you find the person to do the more advanced coding? I don’t want to mess with that either.
@@ssaafur When I purchased the Stealth Hitch with active harness, it came with free remote coding to activate the trailer mode. A sheet was also provided so they could activate additional items too and one of the options was Euro High Beam. The E Net cable shipped in the hitch box too so I felt it was worth the value.
On one of your videos you mentioned coding the interior lights to LED. Did you code for the LEDs before or after you changed the lights in the interior? Thank you
I had someone try and add different interior colors with e-sys coding but they were unsuccessful based on my model year. If it would’ve done worked I would’ve had different color ambient lighting like purple or red.
@@eddiemcars ok, I have ambient lighting thats fine. What I want to do is exchange the OEM bulbs to LEDS / maps lights, etc. I was curious if you used BimmerCode to change the light codes to LED. If you didn’t change those lights then it’s not a question you can answer. I ask because I did this in my last car and a fuse blew.
@@ssaafur You can save your money. The reading lights, and dome lights are LED from the factory. They have a warmer color temperature to appear like incandescent and more natural.
@@eddiemcars interesting, that’s great insight. The problem is that for me, they aren’t very bright. Thanks again and good luck with the new vehicle.
@@eddiemcars im
What year Q7 did you have? I’m going to have 2 kids soon and want a sporty SUV with enough space for comfy family duty, have a Q5 but need more room. I’m between the F15 X5 and 4M Q7, greatly appreciate yours thoughts since you have owned both!
I had the 2011 Audi Q7 3.0T S Line Prestige. I liked my Q7. I wanted a little more power and the 4M Q7’s were still out of budget at the time. Now if I needed 3rd row that would be my car again!
Hello mate, I would to know how you coded your BMW X5 sport?
I used BimmerCode app and Veepeak adapter amzn.to/48dmWTC
Just bought a 2015 sDrive 35i 71k miles for $19k cash.. I thought it was a great deal.. should I update the navigation dash board to CarPlay? It will cost $800. The stock blue tooth on the car is ok not that great… feel like I have to keep scrolling to media then it read the phone !!! Also I will try the lock suggestion from the key fob when the mirrors close & open.
At this point yes. You’ll have to in order to gain live traffic.
Any idea if you can keep the exhaust flaps opened on a '17 X5 50i M sport package using Carly?
The 50i doesn't have the exhaust flaps like the 35i.
The start up extra growls is just the auto choke keeping the idle rpm a little higher
Great video. I have a ODBLINK MX BLUETOOTH, can I use this to code my BMW X5 2018,
I would give it a try. The App gives you an option to select your Bluetooth device before you begin
@@eddiemcars Thank you for the info
How do I find out what series I should use on the Bimmer Code I have a 2018 X5. Would it be a F15?
Yes. F15 for 2014-2018 X5
when i bought my new bmw x6 there were those features as original I have not had to code anything
E, are your wheels painted? The previous owner of mine had my wheels powder coated matt black. I am considering changing them to gloss or satin black. Your thoughts?
No, they’re plasti dipped. I couldn’t decide which color I liked the best. Right now, they’re matte black. I originally started which black sapphire to try and match the color of the color and didn’t like that, so I peeled it and went with gloss, and now matte. So far, gloss black has been my favorite. That would be my choice for powder coat.
@@eddiemcars Awesome. I might have to invest that $600 to paint them gloss. Plastidip always chips off especially when I use different wheel cleaners.
Can you do some of these things to a 2011 BMW X5 xDrive35i?
Some are available, but I believe the E chassis cars are limited to folding mirrors and roll window up with remote. I think E Sys coding will be your best option.
Hey did u ofto pay to code? mine’s charging $49
We just purchased a 2018 X5 CPO. Will coding void the warranty? I don't want to code any performance mods, just the lift gate, mirror's, and ambient lighting.
Congratulations on your purchase. Coding will not void your warranty. You’re simply activating features that your car was built with
I have a 2015 f15 m sports pkg, i feel like it sits really high from the back, is there any option to lower it?
Not that I know of. Sometimes my sits high in the back too 🤔
🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷👏🏻, Awesome BMW SUV. I just love SUVs, they are just so awesome, and you can even sleep inside of them if you ever need to. One time I tried to sleep inside of a Camaro and I couldn't...
Air conditioner staying off is the one I need....
Does the VeePeak do the parking break retraction and reprogramming for towing mode?
Parking brake- Yes Towing module programming - No
Hi!!!! I have a BMW F15 (2015) but when I entry to my car the interior leds are low but if I touch the button central to my top this lights grt stronger. Is it possible to put with bimmercode that the lights will are strong at the first? Thank you very much!!
I looked around in BimmerCode and I didn’t see anything about interior lighting dimming. Perhaps if someone else is reading this they could give some information.
@@eddiemcars thank you very much!!
Hey you say that ur in Tahoe? I'm in Reno and I would like to get these codes done.. Do u do side work if I pay u?
I'm in the Bay Area but, I don't work on the side for coding. If you happen to be at a meet or so, I wouldn't mind coding your car though.
Do you know any coders in Va? I want some of these features too!
You can contact codemycar.com for remote coding. You’ll need a laptop and OBDII to Ethernet cable. However, most of the things I coded can be done in less than a half an hour in your garage/driveway by purchasing the app and purchasing the Bluetooth OBDII veepeak reader.
hey how you protect you car paint any rock chip on it ?
I have a clear paint protection film covering the entire front bumper, half the fender, hood and rear view mirror.
I need your input on the diesel version of this car, I do alot of highway driving.
I haven’t driven a Diesel engine X5 but with highway driving that’s where that engine shines. They get around 27mpg on the highway. Low end torque for passing without the need for “kick down”.
Thanks bro
Any idea how to code the indicators I was coding my X6 and somehow it change how fast it blinks anyone how or under what are the blinkers I can’t seem to find them
If something messed up during coding, I would revert to a backup and restore it that first.
Just picked up 17 x5 50i not an msport... can you code the sport plus mode and launch control on these vehicles?
Yes you can! If you code sport transmission it will enable launch control!
@@eddiemcars can you do this on 2016 x5 50i m sport? I can't find it. Thanks.
How or what is the code that I need for the high beam lights change automatically when incoming traffic approach? I’ve been having difficulty coding that. Help please 🙏🙏
Auto high beam or the European coding?
@@eddiemcars what’s the difference between both?
I got one myself but i got the white one.
Nice! They are great looking SUV’s!
where’s the setting to open and close windows with key fob?
I believe it’s in the body domain control module.
First order of operation when I get my X5 is to change the start-up screen to Rolls Royce... lol.
I did that with my 2018 750i; it's just an animated Spirit of Ecstasy, nothing mind-blowing.
How do u code the liftgate to close for a 2016 X5?
I believe it was under tailgate module in the BimmerCode app. (Edit) if not there then it’s in the body domain controller.
How to coding BMW X5 F15 M50 2015 , To see when i drive what gear its is , In sport mode i can see Byt in normal only show D Pls for help Tnx
I don’t think that’s possible with F15
So beautiful… it’s 22 rims ? Or 20
It’s the 20” 469M wheels ! Thanks!
Hi what’s better Carly car or the one you have ?
And do you need to pay yearly subscription or no and how much Ty
I never used Carly but with Bimmercode, you pay a one-time fee and it's good forever.
Great video , your car is M package or M engine ?
It’s just a M sport package.
Edward M Cars I have the same , love that car and thank you again for sharing . Out of curiosity, would you recommend a transmission fluid change ? My car has 80k miles and drive perfectly , just wondering
Hey, what is the name of the wood trim you have
That is called the Fineline wood trim
You can close the rear gate from inside the car from the factory, you just have to hold the button down. Took me a long time to figure that out!
You’re right, I got it confused, it was my Q7 that wouldn’t allow me to close from inside.
@@eddiemcars love the content. my x5 looks identical to yours, but I lack the 5.0!
Does anyone know why the start-up 'animation' only plays like once ever 5 time we get into our cars?? I wanna see it every time! haha
Think of it as a loading screen. If the car has to boot up the iDrive you’ll see it. If iDrive already on standby, you won’t see it.
I have your car twin.
Cool video. I also upgraded my 2014 5.0 with third row to a 2018M almost 2 years ago, i had sell remorse almost instantly. I know I am talking about the wrong video right now but just had to mension that, I do have a question though. I recently got a great deal on another X5 5.0 with 3rd row, black on black + black rims from a manheim auction Only this one has the M dynamic suspension as well as rear air suspension. I am just curious if this x5 is equipped with that feature as well, and is that the reason why it sits as high as it seem to? My old 2014 x5 5.0 had the M suspension but not the rare air and it sat pretty low. I have not seen the new 2014 I've purchased as yet it will be delivered tomorrow but I'm hoping it has o lower profile like the one I gave up.. Also I have been using Carly for BMW for almost 10 years and I'm able to do all those things that you've mentioned and more, i only had to pay for it once. as a matter of fact recently I found out that I have a lifetime activation + free updates so I purchased the universal adapter and I'm now able to do so much on multiple makes and models I really do like it & believe that you should do a comparison if you're able to I would not mind lending my adapters
I looked into Carly and BimmerCode and they seem nearly the same. I may have a look it to see if there’s anything different. I noticed with the air suspension, there are times where I feel like it’s riding higher in the back than normal and other times it seems to sit level. I think it depends on how it’s parked and was anyone sitting in the backseat. My last Audi Q7 had air and when weight would come off the rear, you could visually see it adjusting. I never notice with the BMW.
@@eddiemcars I have recently purchased the Bimmer code app and a veepeak OBD check ble + Bluetooth adapter from Amazon and I've been using it to code 2014 5.0 as well as my 2018 M and it works great I love it. I was able to add extra colors to the interior lighting of my F15, this is a feature that I've not been able to do with Carly, however everything else I've been able to see so far in the Bimmer code app is available in Carly. Carly is also a lot more user-friendly and allows you to diagnose and clear trouble codes. Both apps have their strong points I love that I'm able to finally have red mood lighting in my F15 thanks to bimmer code, though it was a little scary configuring everything in expert mode as the options on the first screen did not work for me. I also like that Bimmer code cost less than $40 currently compared to Carly's yearly subscription, if I wasn't receiving Carly free of charge I don't think I would pay the extra money for a yearly subscription. On the other hand Carly is a lot more intuitive less intimidating and user-friendly than Bimmer code it has tons of easy-to-use options with explanations for each one Carly would be a better option in my opinion for someone unfamiliar with coding, you got all the features of beamer code except for the option to change interior lighting colors, you also get the health check option where you can scan your vehicle for codes and reset them if you like
@@michaelkaine345 I’m glad that it’s working out for you. I recently coded ambient lighting too and I like the red and violet colors. I’ve been using BimmerLink for scanning trouble codes and stuff.
@@eddiemcars I've been wanting to code the European style LED adaptive headlights but haven't been able to do it on my own, I saw that you had it done while coding your hitch, if you can pass my information to the person who did yours or pass me their information it would be much appreciated.. And thanks a lot for all the help and advice man I really do appreciate it
My x5 doesn’t beep when lock and unlocked….
Could be turned off in coding!
Is beemer code a free app or do you have to pay for it?
You pay for it once!
Dude, great video. WHERE DO YOU OBTAIN the instructions to change these codes. They didn't just pop into your brain!!! Why does the buyer of any car, especially a $72,000 BMW X5 like mine, not have these options/INSTRUCTIONS made available as long as it does not violate any federal laws?????? Oh, is there a source/instructions to use Beemer code?????? Thank you very much for these answers. Gotta love a Beemer, especially an X5!!!!
Luckily the developer of BimmerCode made it easy to click and press okay for the coding. Some of the expert stuff I either experimented with or I read on the forums.
@@eddiemcars So, from the ignorant side of my brain, pick a spot, the "receiver or Vgate icar" that plugs into the universal terminal under the drivers dash and the phone app work in harmony to achieve some "non technical expert" applications in harmony? Thanks for the fast reply and a great video. Why in the intercourse do we have to fight tooth and nail for these changes or fixes. CYA from the Legal/Government regulators????
Can you code Apple car play with that App?
To my knowledge you can’t. It will need to be unlocked
What year is this vehicle?
2014 First year of that style
I tried Maccan, I was thinking about new Maccan and I tried base engine power and I’ll be honest until we start talking corners only around corners Porsche was good but otherwise I though I was driving Kia nothing really that would highlight it that this Porsche and bmw I don’t feel like in Mercedes or something else it maybe not as fancy as Porches but it’s uniq I think.
I think for the Macan to be good you’ll have to go with the GTS or the Turbo option but of course you’re spending 75k plus!
this mpower or 50i ?
xDrive50i M Sport
i wish that the AC staying OFF upon start-up was a feature on Bimmercode.... =/
I've had that feature enabled for years I honestly forgot about it until just now!
How do you code, friends?
BimmerCode app and you’ll need the adapter Bluetooth
For some reason it says that veepeak is not supported why is that?
Where did you find that? I’ve been using mine for years!
@@eddiemcars no worries I got it figured out. I was able to unlock some codes.
Edward, what’s the code name for dimming the lights when upcoming traffic in front of you?
How can I code the mileage over the speed limit warning to display on my windshield or dashboard?
I’m not sure if that’s possible with BimmerCode. You can always check but sometimes you might have the have some coding through expert mode which I don’t recommend unless you know exactly what parameters you’re changing.
Edward M Cars thanks Edward. Great vid. Keep them coming.
Oh
My windows went back up from factory
Its sinful not to use BimmerCode if you are a BMW owner.
You need a longer intro
When i can bring my car over? Genius
Sure! Bring it over!
LOL we literally coded everything the same way
You need to code that check engine light!!!
What do you mean? My CEL was on during the video because the engine wasn’t started.
@@eddiemcars easy, honest mistake. It caught my attention because I've had to replace my coils recently.
It’s ok. I had the CEL/drivetrain malfunction before too. Turned out it was coils/plugs. I haven’t had a CEL since!
I bought my 2014 xdrive50i very used, 79k miles. At about 85k miles, got the drive train malfunction, saw a TSB out for the injectors and was hoping it was the injectors so BMW could pay for it, they said injectors passed their tests, charged me the diagnostic fee and offered to replace coils for about $1500...i bought the coil for $24 and did it myself. Ran fine until 2 more misfired...replaced those and will do the remaining coils when they arrive. Also going to replace plugs....I get that dealers charge $165 per hour for labor...but even with them using BMW parts, I don't see how they come up with their numbers
Can you raise the top speed limiter?
Unfortunately, no. That's only from a flash tune like Mhd or Bootmod3
