Customize MINI Settings with Bimmercode App

It looks like the Sport Display feature is supposed to help you shift your manual transmission ICE MINI at the right RPM when driving in Sport Mode - so completely useless for the SE. There's a picture here: https://www.northamericanmotoring.com/forums/f55-f56-hatch-talk-2014/339494-2015-mcs-hud-jcw-shift-pattern-coding.html

 

That makes perfect sense, thank you
I suppose I should either delete this change or look for a gearbox

 

Anyone found an option for seat/steering wheel heater memory? Haven’t delved into expert mode yet, but the F56 page says it should be under “Seat Module Driver”, which I do not seem to have.

 

Found it by looking at various BMW posts. Seems to do what I want.

Seat Heat: BDC (Expert Mode) -> HcSeatHeating -> NACHLAUFZEIT_SITZHEIZUNG_FRONT -> always
Steering Heat: BDC (Expert Mode) -> PfLinSteeringWheel -> NACHLAUFZEIT_LENKRADHEIZUNG -> always

 

Anybody find the traction control? Would love to keep that off permanently.

 

Requests for Bimmercode experts:

- remember regen setting

- change (increase) loudness of external noisemakers

 

The car doesn’t automatically remember your last regen setting? Mine is always on high regen so I’m unaware that it doesn’t remember low regen.

 

Like many settings MINI / BMW has selective memory on IMO odd things like core driver preference. I found what I wanted by narrowing down the module, then searching for “NACHLAUFZEIT” in expert mode, then translated each result until I found something close to what I wanted, and finally googled the exact entry to double check (typically against BMW forum posts.)

 

It doesn't remember regen setting. Default is to start on high. I rarely use low regen, so that's never something that has bugged me enough to hunt down.

 

Picked up my 2023 SE on Wednesday last week. I ordered my OBD and am looking forward to making some tweaks. Has anyone had success enabling the lock/unlock acoustic notification? It seems like all the cars I saw for 2023 don’t have the alarm or the ACC cruise control. I am hoping for the auditory notice for locking at least so I get confirmation honk.

 

I realize this post is a bit dated, but does anyone know if there's a way to toggle between these sounds?

 

The only way I know is to do it bimmercode.

 

I figured as much; do you happen to remember which option you changed?

 

So, this pedestrian warning that you guys are talking about. Is it a kind of a motor 'whine'? Or is that an issue with my car?

 

The sound is interesting, I think @polyphonic wrote up a nice piece about it a couple of years ago, but I find that it clashes with the whine from the inverter. I leave it on in residential areas and parking lots, for the same reason I don't drive 80 in school zones.

 

I also like the sound. I think it's much better than the pedestrian warning sound in my F-150 Lightning, which is similar but is more one-dimensional. Interestingly, the F-150 Lightning pedestrian noise quits when the vehicle is at a stop. I found this out the hard way in a drive through; the complete silence failed to alert the employee I was waiting. The SE, of course, plays the pedestrian sound as long as the SE is on and under the cutoff speed (18 mph?).

 

and in D or R

 

I think the BMW pedestrian sound is cool because it is speed (pitch) sensitive with the Shepard tone, and plays backwards when you are in reverse gear. The pedestrian warnings with Toyotas are the worst of them all as it's loud in drive and LOUDER in reverse.

 

I was expecting Toyota's first BEV to be called the Tinnitus.
