You can find out most if not all features that are codeable by the app at https://bimmercode.app/cars/. However, depending on your car's modules, their version, and your car's production date; different thing will not be avaialble or not applicable.

You can find out from this Wikipedia entry https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:BMW_vehicle_series

I bought the software and hardware for personal use so I can diagnose and customise my cars the way I want it.

This is something I enjoy doing and I like to help others too.

I have the BimmerGeeks Protool Andoid app, and I bought their bluetooth OBDII adapter. I also have Bimmercode app.

With any fiddling with electronics on these modern cars, there is always a risk. That's why I invested in a professional quality tool since I don't want a heavy paper weight in my garage. Yet this has to be stated; I take no responsibility if something happens to your car.

With that being said; the app makes automatic backups of each module. And I make a manual backup of each module as well. Better play it safe than sorry. That's why my coding session takes a bit longer due to making frequent backups.

The car's different module store errors. Some errors will show a warning symbol on your dash/navigation screen, but not all errors will.

The error codes that are stored and do not show a warning light are called shadow fault codes. I will read all fault codes that are stored, save them to a log file, then clear them out if you want. After that's done; I'll email you the error log.

The fault codes do provide what module(s) in question, and the BMW or Mini specific error code.

I can clear out fault codes, but they will return if the underlying issue still exist

An example of an error that can be cleared out is when you unplug a wire harness -airbag for example- and forgot to disconnect the battery, once you turn on the car; it would report an airbag error on your dash. Such error can be cleared with the basic fault clearing procedure.

Sorry, I'm not a car mechanic. Though you can let me know what issue your car have. I might have come across something related online.

Please use the contact form and describe what you're looking for.

On average, it takes anywhere between 30 minutes to 1 hour.

However, depending on your requests, if it's something that require multiple settings to be enabled/disabled; then it could take longer. In that case, I'll connect a trickle charger to keep the battery from going too low.

I also ask you if your battery is good or not before we start.

Great! Please use the contact form and describe what you're looking for.

I'm usually available after 7:30pm. on weekdays, and we can also arrange something on the weekend.

I'm at Nolancrest Heights NW. I'll provide full address once we setup a date and time.

Sorry, I don't do house calls.

Thank you for the nice words. I made it myself. I'm a full time webdeveloper. Contact me through the main site at sinanghareb.com.
