Lots of fun things in there. On our F60, I changed the mirror tilt, turned on the door lights when I put the car in reverse, and turned off the start up warning.
Ohh startup warning, thats a good one. Ill have to code that in.
Also you can get rid of the annoying message on the screen when using the reverse camera!
What obd should I get ? I got a f60 countryman 2017 and I'm tired of that backup camera warning
Really interesting video! Good job there! Keep it up!
Thanks!! Will do!!
Great vids. New to your site and Mini (2019 countryman s All4)
Used to live in Bonners Ferry, Idaho and spent a fair amount of time in BC, especially Nelson and Salmo Pass. Miss it out there, NY now.
Welcome aboard!! Congratulations on the new MINI! If you have any questions feel free to ask!
Oh cool!! Yeah BC is amazing, nothing beats the twisty roads and amazing scenery
Definitely excited to see the advanced features video in the future. On the fence about pulling the trigger.
Hope to use it with my 2019 JCW as there are a lot more options to change. Video coming soon!
Hi , thank you for such amazing video 👍.
I have mini cooper 2016 and i change the halogen headlight and fog light bulb with led yesterday but it gave me light beam and fog light malfunction ? What i can do to remove this alert?
Thank you! You just have to go in and select led as the light and it should fix it for you.
Hi it is possible with Bimmercode set of cold and warm monitoring of led light replace? I can’t find in my Bimmercode menu
I think it may be possible, but it might be in the advanced menu. Your best bet will probably to ask on the F56 forms to see what code you need to change.
hey i would like to know if i can use bimmercode to remove the error fog lamps warning after installing drl aftermarket led fog lights? thanks
Yes you can! You may be able to in the easy section, but if not, check one of the forums for the code
Hi,Are U able to access the New MINI 2021 OS with this app, to code/modify?.Thanks.
I think you can, however I still have yet to try it. Will update when I do something
hi. Is it possible to encode splash lights for position 0? I have no auto position. Position 0 works as auto in my car. Thnx
I am not aware of how to do this with BimmerCode although it may be part of expert mode that I don’t know of
Anybody knows how to change settings and use the center LCD to play movies / videoclips?
I have not done it on my MINI yet, however if you take a look at this thread, someone got it working on their BMW. It will be the same for MINI. f30.bimmerpost.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1484682
I have an R60 and have switched my taillights from read CDM to amber EDM with rear fog light. Does BimmerCode allow to program the rear fog light in?
While I have not done it myself, I believe it has that functionality. If not in the normal mode, definitely in the advanced mode.
Has you or anyone found the code section/map to change the oil maintenance interval? I have been looking for this for a while now as i want to change it to something more reasonable. 5-6,000 miles interval (8,000km)? oh i have F55 '18. lol
Sorry for the late response. I was trying to find it in both carly and bimmercode apps and unfortunately couldnt find anything.
@@carcreationsyt me either. Just have to do it the old fashioned way and marker it in the window or window stickers.
The R60 works well with Bimmer code too.
Good to know, thanks! Ill have to connect it to my parents R60 and see what I can do!
Thank you for the comment as I am wanting to use this for my 2014 R60.
@@samuelaandrus6280 I've been able to activate many functions that are super cool, like keyfob window and sunroof close. DTR fogs only, etc.
@Ted D thank you for your reply. My son has a 2012 R60 D in the UK and I notice his recirculation for AC does not have to be turned on everytime he starts ac. Where as I do in mine. I have changed all marker lights to LED and now get codes. I see that I should be able to fix this with this. My next question is which OBD do I get as there are many listed with a Wide range price difference. With everything you get what you pay for so I don't want to go cheap but I live on a fixed income so can't afford to over spend. Thanks again!
If my f56 doesn't have paddle shifters and I retrofit a JCW steering wheel, can beemer code activate the paddle shifters?
Thanks for watching! All you need is quick shifting activated, but most cars already have this. If not, I believe it can be done in bimmercode, but we did it with Esys.
Awesome thank you for the reply 💯😎
Hi I see when I downloaded the app, that it has a lot of adapters to purchase. Do you know which is the best adapters for the mini hatchback 3rd gen?
The best adapter we found was this one. It worked for both 3rd gen MINIs and my brothers BMW.

@@carcreationsyt hi! Do you think this is better than carly connector? I was think about the other has the option to the new battery. And apparently has more options than this. But the price is higher, do u recommend this or the other?
@@diegochiu3683 The nice thing about carly is the fact you only have to buy a months subscription when you get the app. Check out my video on Carly if your interested in what that can do. The decision really comes down to whether you prefer a subscription for the carly app or buy the bimmercode app outright
hi, can you please tell me how to check the real km of a Mini using bimmercode or bimmerlink?
I may be wrong but I don’t think you can check with BimmerCode or BimmerLink.
You can with Carly though I believe. I think we briefly show it in our Carly video.
Carly can go in and compare the mileage to make sure there isn’t any discrepancies.
Can you use this bimmer app and adapter to fix the codes from installing the digital cluster?
Unfortunately you need Esys for that and really be comfortable with the program.
@@carcreationsyt thanks! I sent an email for info on what I need to buy to put the 2022 upgrade infotainment system into my 2016 Mini. Fantastic video and upgrade!!
Cheers!
Hi! I’m going to code Apple Carplay in my F60 Countryman soon. I’m basically paying someone to code it. My question is i’d like to use Bimmercode to add some more features after that. Is using bimmercode going to remove apple carplay back again? Or have any issues? Lmk if you know the answers ! Thank u !
I used Bimmercode after I had upgrades in my car so you should be good! Either way, bimmercode makes backups, so worst case, you can restore it.
Some nice options but not something I’ll rush into buying just yet. Thanks for sharing.
Agreed! You are most welcome!
Yeah a lot of it is just more "quality of life" type features that make for a modestly better car experience
Great video ! I bought Bimmer Code but I have the impression that concerning the ASD it is extremely limited? BMW ASDs not working? Do you also know if we can raise the height of the HUD even more? Keep it up !!!
Thank you! I have played around with Active Sound Design on the clubman in one of my videos, while I could change things, I am not sure how big of a difference it made. I need a little more time with it I think. Not sure about the HUD! I dont have it in my cars so cant test it. If you figure it out, let me know!
@@carcreationsyt Thank you for your feedback, I tried to add some things to the HUD but nothing helps. For the ASD, not all BMWs work and overall there is not a big difference. It's hard to navigate all the expert menus, nothing is very well explained ...
@@YM-qx9ig no worries! Check out this video I did. I did code the ASD in my clubman. The sound is definitely different, but I dont know if I actually enabled the JCW ASD or changed it to something else as it doesn't sound like my JCW hatch. czcams.com/video/8NNjjkZB4Lc/video.html
Has anyone seen how to make Apple Carplay full screen in the Minis?
Good question! I will have to look into that.
Hi it is possible activate fog light like cornering light? In my f54 whit alogen light? Whit bimmercode?
If your car has an active bulb there, I believe there may be a way to activate it with BimmerCode
@@carcreationsyt tks soo much
Anyone know if you can make my Mini always in sport mode even though I don't have the button/option on my Cooper S Sport 2019
I believe you can, take a look at minif56.com/ there's probably someone on there who has done it.
@@carcreationsyt Yeah I have just ordered the OBD2 Thing and Bimmer Code App.
You can set it to automatically startup in sports mode in BimmerCode. I would see if you can turn that on. If that doesn’t work, it may need some deeper coding or maybe even a module
@@carcreationsyt yeah it's worth a shot, if not I might just get it re-mapped. Then it would be in its own sport mode ha
Haha good plan
i can access almost every settings of my mini f57 jcw 2016 with bimmercode, but the head unit section is impossible to read... 😢do you know why? what can i do to access the head unit section?
That is really odd! What head unit do you have? Is it the small orange screen?
@@carcreationsyt i have the "connected XL" unit
before LCI , no android auto or apple carplay.
@@Kesmy I wonder if the unit is broken
Yeah! Finally, I was soo waiting for this little cube. Will be working with R56 from 2007? 😁
Haha hope it didn’t disappoint!
Exciting! Good luck, I want to code my dads R60 at some point.
Yes it works with R56
Thanks!
is it possible to activate the angel with maximum brightness and the fog light?
Yes I believe you can
@@carcreationsyt do you know what command it would be? I didn't find it, my mini is F56
Do you have anybidea how to unlock drive mode?bcause my mini doesnt have deive mode button
I took a look and couldn't see it on first look. I know it is possible so maybe ask in one of the forums?
It was worth it just to turn of the start/stop system.
Actually, very good point. That feature is so annoying and glad it could be turned off.
@@carcreationsyt I did with my current BMW and in 3 weeks i will get my clubman, it will be the first thing i do.
So useless and annoying, but BMW will tell you it's not possible to turn off.
@@ekimandersom4478 Congrats on the Clubman!! Yeah, I asked when I got my JCW and they said no...
I have a switch that turns it off. Never came back on.
Does it work for a 2015 mini f55?
Yea it should!
which OBD are you using? a links can be? thank you
Sorry, just realized I forgot to include one. Bluetooth Adapter Affiliate Link: amzn.to/3dc1yo0
@@carcreationsyt thanks 😉👍
No worries!!
Hi Lads,🙋🏼♀️ I was looking forward to this video. Does Bimmercode invalidate the warranty ?(does anyone know?) My sons friend has a BMW and the app/connector, Does the app allow use on BMW and Mini once it's paid for? I'm wondering if I can cheekily use his for free 🤷🏼♀️ or will I have to pay again to the app to use the Mini settings?
Hello! Thanks for your question. As long as you don’t do anything that will interfere with the engine, you are all good.
The adapter for a bmw and app will work for your car, and you won’t need to buy it again! I used the same app for both our bmw and mini.
@@carcreationsyt thanks , I thought you'd know. I wouldn't mind tweaking mine so it looks like I can do as I shall ask my sons friend to sit with me to go over my Mini 🙂
For sure! Yeah let us know how it goes!
Thank you about the heat comment, that drives me crazy
You and me both!
Man, i remember having to hack into my BMW e46 with a laptop and a hacked program to do this kind of thing.
Hi, i upgrade some things with bimmer but now the volume of my stereo is really low. Did you experience something like that?
Oh interesting... No we didn't. Are you using Aux, Bluetooth, or the iPhone cable? It may be a situation where the volume on the phone itself needs to be turned up. That happened to me a few weeks ago and I was puzzled for a bit lol.
@@carcreationsyt no. Is also the radio (without connecting the phone). I was playing with motor volume. Also my rear camera sound is not working
@@Dieguinho911 Oh really? Thats super odd. I think BimmerCode has an option to restore your car from a backup, so that may help.
What options did you code?
What are those rims?
OZ Rally Racing Rims
Does it void warranty??
Thanks for watching! I dont believe it does. The app also does a backup in case something goes wrong
can't find advanced video?
Hello, Sorry we have not had chance to make it yet! Still in the plans though. Do you have anything you may be interested in learning how to do?
@@carcreationsyt Not really, just want to know some advanced features.
Resetting footwell module. Or installing new footwell module. I can’t find anything on installation using BimmerCode advanced coding.
Please make a new edit and call it Bimmercode. Beemer is for a motorcycle, Bimmer is a car. The app is Bimmercode, not Beemercode. 🤦🏻
It’s my accent, sorry mate!
Cutting down random trees for a video - shame on you !!
It wasn’t for the video, we had to do it anyway. We live on a farm and it was in the pasture so have to clear it out. We also use the wood for fence rails.
I hate cutting down trees but it has to be done sometimes!
