What can the dealer do?

Coding by the dealer?

Use this this web page to see what can be coded

Looks like you can code it yourself using the app and a Bluetooth dongle.

So you are satisfied with the app? Can't remember where I saw that, but I was told it wasn't the most reliable.

It's free, for now. I was terribly frustrated with factory Nav Sys before I started using this App. I use it for every route I want to take and life has become good, again.

Oh that I'm I use HTC One (M8) and BMWhat bluetooth OBD adapter and I don't remember anything else being any more reliable

Apart from lacking the options to disable iDrive disclaimer and making the moonroof auto close when it senses rain I have pretty much coded the rest to my satisfaction just through button clicks on the app . When needed, you can put them back to the factory setting without any hassle. Also, it's so convenient that I coded most of them during my lunch break at work .

- auto fold/open side mirrors with lock/unlock key
- changed 3 blink turn signal to 5
- changed auto lock period to 1 min from 2 mins if the car door/window is left unused
- double click boot-lid button on the key fob to enable follow me home lights for 30 secs
- panic alarm using key fob

Besides, you can also scan for error codes and clear them and other stuff..

@NumberSix didn't quite follow you there what you mean. The app shouldn't be free. Oh well if it is I'll be very upset as I paid AUD65 or sth for it
