You can code? For example disabled auto lock off doors, etc? There's a return policy for think. That said, the more I'm getting familiar with it the more I'm glad I got it. I'll post some videos soon

Yes, it has a full suite of coding capabilities. Very nice.

Nice I don't use Android I am looking for iPhone friendly solution

I am using a kindle fire that I bought for $60.

I'm also going to try bimmercode - iOS compatible.

Just bought this today. Hopefully can disable the 'convenience entry/exit' feature of the steering wheel motor. On my E66. Funny, even in the owner's manual it says this feature can't be disabled. BMW engineers' must think that all American's were obese and cant enter or exit the seat unless the wheel first pops up and away.

I haven't found edits for the key function yet: notable: roll UP all windows from key fob. Twice I've learned on my key and rolled down all the windows and had to pull the actual key blade out of the fob to do the task of roll them up.

I can find some key settings like set seat position by key so it's looking like the wheel entrance crap is not available on e70, or just in a weird place I haven't found yet.

I was able to find where to set the speed and yes/no for auto lock doors on my e53 and a couple other things to confirm you can do coding. It also has specific sub menus for some of the biggies like pair ews and they are named well liked "I just replaced ews" sub menu.

The "ca" module where is expect to see the key coding only has reset module no coding :-(.

I looked in the places I could think of where it could alternatively be but no luck.

It takes a while for three scanner to figure out which modules are available, especially on e53. (2 minutes startup), much much faster on e70, but once running it's prob 20x as fast to browse around. Prob worth the price of admission just for that reason alone.

I'll see if I can figure out a way to compare side by side with foxwell.

So far every function such as engage AC compressor or read auc real-time voltage has been where I could find it with relative ease.

The glaring oversight unless I just haven't figured out how is that I can't overlay two graphs. The good news is that it's nearly instant to switch between and the graph doesn't start over when you do so screen shots work ok to get a compression.

The screen before the graph will display far more data points simultaneously than the foxwell and far far far easier to read.

I don't think you can, but I found a 7 year old thread that taught me a trick that I used to disable the asinine feature (right up there with the non temp gauge).

Set the steering wheel right where you like it then tap down just a bit.

Now open the door to get the dance to start and immediately tug down on the steering wheel.

The motor controller will sense the current spike and shut down the movement.

It will stay disabled until the next time you use the adjustment.

I find this a better solution as a driver that wants it just needs to adjust and it re-enables.

Wife and I are slowly working toward a middle position we both like for seat:steering so no or minimal movement when we swap.

We have e70 '12 and e53 '01.

On the '01 I think I just use it all the way up and fowrard so it never moves anyhow but I think I'll try the trick on my car also

Update; I could not find any key coding/comfort access on e70 such as allow window up function from the remote but I did find some features. I'm thinking I'll take pics of the sub options so I can find them myself later

I was able to find a fair amount of coding tweaks such as disable auto lock on e53 (lots of little tweaks like how fast to turn on interior lights).

The trick with e53 was those settings were accessed with the generic OBD tool not the BMW specific tool wow that took me a long time to locate: I enabled auto lock at 24 kph but realized it's worse than I remembered: it was forcing the doors to unlock and relock when I locked the car.

Eg: I would unlock only the driver door and when I exit the car and lock the door I can hear all three other doors unlock or possibly just reengage double lock but it's two distinct operations.

Without auto lock I now only hear one lock operation. That crap is permanently disabled now

I was able to enable daytime running lights on my 01 which is awesome. I think it's pwm the high beams at like 5v or something.

Was not able to do anything with comfort access on wife's E70 however which is annoying as I've already 3-4x rolled down all the windows by leaning on the key and have to pull the blade out of the key to use the physical blade to roll them back up vs. simply use the fob.

I also could not edit the moronic steering wheel dance but I found a workaround for that and that stupidity is stopped now.

I'm still happy with the purchase it's so much more convenient than the foxwell and light years ahead in speed and interface though it has a couple really stupid oversights that can be fixed in software so I'm about to make a review that hopefully will get their attention.
