Coding | Programming

BMW iDrive coding and programming makes software changes to a vehicle’s system. iDrive is an interface used to control various functions of the car, including the radio, navigation, and climate control. In most cases, BMW includes a wide range of features in the iDrive system, but they are not always readily available to the user.

With iDrive coding, users can unlock these hidden features, customize the settings of existing ones, and even add new functionalities to the iDrive system. For example, iDrive coding can enable features such as video playback while driving, adjusting the sensitivity of the automatic start-stop system, changing the lighting behavior of the car, or even adding new features such as digital speedometer, tire pressure monitoring, or fuel economy statistics.

Overall, iDrive coding allows for a more personalized and customized driving experience. It’s important to note that iDrive coding should only be done by experienced professionals, as improper coding could potentially damage the car’s software or even compromise its safety features. We get customers, who code their cars using apps, and end up corrupting it, making is useless. We also fix such issues, where it was not done professionally.

Once your suspension has ben swapped out, we can then code the car to turn off the adaptive suspension system. With coding this out it will prevent the vehicle from displaying an error which would in turn disable the use of Sport and Sport+ modes.

Absolutely as long as its is safe to do so. This is something we get asked for regularly by those who are building a track focussed vehicle. We do offer programming for seats upgrades / downgrades.
