I know this is a very stupid question but how do I know if my car is a F56 or what it is? I just bought a 2017 Mini Cooper today and I’m doing all the research I can about it. 😅
Hey 👋 not stupid at all! Here are the possibilities of what yours is:- F54 - 6 Door Clubman F55 - 5 Door Hatch F56 - 3 Door Hatch F57 - 3 Door Convertible F60 - 5 Door Countryman Hope this helps 😁
Brother man I just bought the GP concept tail lights and everything works all the LEDs on them but the brake lights dont work and i got brake light error code. i did the DRL in this vid maybe undoing it will help. If you have any recommendations please let me know.
Hey, I haven’t worked with them yet but I’d try to remove any coding you’ve done. If that doesn’t work I’d go back to the people you’ve purchased them from
hi bro.. im using bimmer code for F56.. i'll active the daylight the coding is done but its not working.. but just some coding working perfectly.. can u advise? thank you
Hi Ben, i have bought these rear lights and retrofitted it and did the coding to get this the inner and out led lights to come on but i have noticed with the halogen break light the top half only comes on when i press the breaks and the bottom one doesn’t have i missed anything pls help
Hi Ben, great vids, how are you with Bimmercode, Im trying to activate a multifunctional steering wheel from a non functional wheel, Ive adde the buttons however not working, can this be done?
I installed these taillights on my girlfriends base model F56 and followed these steps, but it won’t work. The lights work and light up, BUT the two lines don’t light up at all. Only the back of the fixtures light up. What can be the problem?
Hi Ben, are you able to cast your mind back to your R56? I'm trying to use Bimmercode to have just the bulbs above the fog lights on as DRL and not the headlights too. Do you know how to do this? Thanks.
Hello Ben, in my mini cooper the voice control option is deactivated, is it possible to activate it through the bimmer code? or do I have to buy a module?
Ben Rolfe thanks Ben did you have to pay for the bimmercode app I’ve downloaded the app on my iPhone and there is a charge for the upgraded app ? Thanks Jason
I’d love a set of the black ones linked below, I think they will look really neat on a dechromed grey MINI! www.smps2012.com/product/f55-f56-f57-led-black-union-jack-lights
Really like watching your videos. Excellent!
I’ve wanted this for so long!! Thanks Ben!
No problem at all 😁
I don't know why these aren't illuminated by default. It seems to me that any light is better than no light when it comes to visibility and safety...
You don’t need to code the inner section. I suspect this is for a BMW

Welcone to the club! Bought a 2017 f56 just 1½ week ago. Such a difference to my 92 Toyota Corolla ;D

Hey, just to clarify, have you got your lights set to auto? And, do you have the same rear lights as the ones I have, the LED ones?
@@BenRolfe problem solve bro.. i forgot to activate checkbox DRL.. thanks bro

I'm assuming its the same process for the union jack rear lights?
From my understanding this will also with with them
Hi Ben, great vids, how are you with Bimmercode, Im trying to activate a multifunctional steering wheel from a non functional wheel, Ive adde the buttons however not working, can this be done?
I did this a while back and the top half of my brake lights do not illuminate when i hit the brakes any idea on what i did wrong??

Have you coded them in? As these are LED headlights and the previous ones were halogens you have to code the LED ones in.
Ben Rolfe ummm I thought I did. How do you do that?

Hey 👋 I’m not sure if Bimmercode can be used for the R56. I may be wrong though but if you can I couldn’t be 100% as to how to code that.
It is possible, I looked today on LCI model. Do you have LCI model, does it by default have rear DRLs on by default?
Hello Ben, in my mini cooper the voice control option is deactivated, is it possible to activate it through the bimmer code? or do I have to buy a module?
Hey, I don't think this can be done through BimmerCode, however, it could possibly be done with an eSys cable and appropriate software.
Does this work with the halogen? Or just with the LED ones?
Thanks
What adapter do you use for the obd port I’m thinking of doing some of the things you have
Hey 👋 i use the one below! It’s super easy to set up along side BimmerCode.

Ben Rolfe thanks Ben did you have to pay for the bimmercode app I’ve downloaded the app on my iPhone and there is a charge for the upgraded app ? Thanks Jason
Yes, to take full advantage of the app there is a one off charge of roughly £30
Ben Rolfe thanks can’t wait to start decoding things lol
Hi Ben, is coding straight forward? Is it just plug and play and do you have to have your car running something liked that? Thx
how do you feel about the union flag rear lights?
I personally love them! Definitely will be picking some up one day!
@@BenRolfe Are you going to go with the red union flag lights or the black ones? Mulgari also makes a smoked, red set that looks nice.

Why would you even do this you can’t even see that they are on
Why not 😉🤷🏻♂️
