Awesome Jason! Thanks for bringing this thread to our attention. I've an M5 coming in a few months and if I'm brave enough this info will help me a lot! I just read the first few pages, and if the remaining 55 pages contain as much information, this is a gold mine. 57 pages dating from May of this year up to today should give hours of worthwhile reading. Thank you.

Has anyone performed some coding on their US Spec MY13 F10 M5? If so, do you have an updated cheat sheet? I've just started and have seen various differences in CAFD files. Would appreciate any info you have.

I'm sorry I'm of no help at the moment. Don't have a car yet and have just read about half way through the pages from Jason's link. From what I've read it seems the info used by svache came from people working on the F10 which he has adapted for the F30. You're much further into it though and probably have a better handle on the process. Svache seems very helpful, have you tried to contact him? He may know of US owners of the F10 M5 who are changing the settings. I agree, I'd want to be very sure of the settings I'm changing.

Glad to point our M5 owners in the proper direction in case we have any DIY'ers.

And yes, the rest of the thread is plenty great and informational.

This will obviously void your warranty, I assume... The F10 M5 will record the login attempts and next time you go for service they will see that you touched the configuration... Specially when adding paying features... like the TPMS that's like 300 Euros... Anybody has changed and then gone to the dealer for service ?

Hey Jason... I sent you a PM... would appreciate some guidance on the coding DIY. Thanks.

[TRIPLE-O]

What changes have you noticed (besides maybe the HU_NBT)? The US Spec 2013 M5 has been spot on with coding on other F10's I have done.

Was looking for this

BC_DIGITAL_V_KORREKTUR

on the M5, but didn't see it? Am I just missing it or is it really not there?

Note: I did find BC_V_KORREKTUR and disabled it.

Still 4mph off (reads 74 when going 70)... anyone else successfully get their M5 to be accurate on the speedometer?

Also note, that it is correctable with a *VERY SLIGHT* hardware (tire) change:



But, I would prefer a software change.

Just got my ENET cable today and started coding away.. Hopefully it helps some of you (if you decide to code):

I had the auto high beam assit working fine but then I turned it off with the normal high beam stock control and now I can't get it back. What is the trick? Do i have to code again? I hope not

[johntomferg]

Thanks Protious. I know a lot have been looking for an undated cheat sheet.

Unfortunately, no one has found how to do the speedometer correction via coding yet for the F10 M5. If you figure it out, it would be great to add that to your list.

You have to cycle the lights once (ie from auto to off and back to auto (or substitute auto for "on") after starting the car.
If you retrofit the stalk which has the HA button you don't need to cycle the lights anymore

[Type11]

Yep the cycling did it thanks everyone!

[Type11]

So I was in a 2011 GMC Terrian as a rental car the last couple days and look what it can do over bluetooth, album art from spotify and reliably show the song name (on my 13 m5 it only shows if I get the sequence of starting it right and then often does not update). So a 2011 GMC can get it right but not my 100K+ 13 BMW? Come on! Anybody know if there is anyway to enable this via coding?

Do you guys have to cycle the lights every time you start the car? I find that when I start the car the HBA is off till I cycle the headlight switch. Wondering if there's a code I missed or if this is normal?

[Type11]

X5 blair that is how mine is working as well... Makes me want to get a retrofit stalk ;-)

[jmh]

As a few people have asked I figured I'd post a number of settings I've coded and seem to work. There're still plenty more options to explore and as I enable/discover them I'll update the post.
Also if others have settings it would be great to share them.

TPMS SENSOR READINGS

HU_NBT -> 3001 -> RDC_SAFETY -> activ -> Werte=01
Display tire pressure and temperature

AUTOMATIC HIGHBEAM ASSIST HEADLIGHTS

FRM -> 3050 -> FLA_AUTO_AKTIV -> automatisch-> Werte=01
FRM -> 3050 -> FLA_VERBAUT -> aktiv
HU_NBT -> 3000 -> HIGH_BEAM_ASSISTANT -> aktiv
KAFAS2 -> 3050-> FLA_ON_OFF -> aktiv
Enable High Beam Assist. HBA will turn on automatically when the headlights
are turned on or automatic headlights are enabled. Once HBA has been turned off
via the high beam switch it requires “cycling” of the headlights (on->off->on) to
re-enable them). This can be “fixed” by installing the steering column stalk which
includes the HBA switch (part # 61 31 9 297 78 and retrofitting option 5AC to your
vehicle order)

SIDE MIRROR CLOSING WITH KEYFOB / COMFORT ACCESS

FRM -> 3020 -> ASP_BEIKLAPPEN_BEI_KOMFORTSCHLIESSEN -> aktiv -> Werte=01
CAS -> 3003 -> KOMFORTSCHLIESSUNG_FB -> activ -> Werte=01
CAS -> 3003 -> KOMFORTSCHLIESSUNG_PA -> activ -> Werte=01

CHANGE DELAY FOR MIRRORS FOLDING IN WITH COMFORT ACCESS

CAS -> 3003 FH MASTER -> KMFRT_SCHLIESSEN
Werte=00 (the default value is Werte=0F)
This results in a much faster folding of the mirrors when comfort closing.
05 for 0,5sec
0A for 1sec
0F for 1,5sec

ENABLE CLOSE TRUNK FROM KEYFOB BUTTON

HKFM_LS -> 3010 -> SCH_FBD -> activ -> Werte=01
HKFM_LS -> 3010 -> SCH_TOEHKI -> activ -> Werte=01
HKRM_LS -> 3010 -> TASTER_FBD -> activ -> Werte=01
Closing of trunk via the keyfob trunk button (open and close)

DVD IN MOTION

HU_CIC -> 3000 -> SPEEDLOCK_X_KMH_MAX -> FF
HU_CIC -> 3000 -> SPEEDLOCK_X_KMH_MIN -> FF
HU_CIC -> 3000 -> VIDEO_HANDBRAKE-> Nicht_activ
Alternative for those who don’t want to / can’t code is to use
http://www.dvdinmotion/ based on a USB stick

HUD TURN SIGNALS

KOMBI -> 3008 -> HUD_PIA_BLINKER -> aktiv
KOMBI -> 3008 -> BLINKER_HUD_ENABLE -> aktiv
HU_NBT -> 3000 -> HUD_TURNSIGNAL -> aktiv
Display turn signal indicators in the HUD

NAVI TRIP IMPORT

HU_CIC -> 3000 -> NAVI_TRIP_IMPORT = aktiv

DRIVER'S DOOR UNLOCK ON START / STOP

CAS -> 3002 -> ER_KEYOUT_AUTOVR -> activ -> Werte=01
Unlock door with engine stop

DISABLE LEGAL DISCLAIMER

HU_NBT -> 3001 -> LEGAL_DISCLAIMER_TIME -> kein_ld
HU_NBT -> 3001 -> MACRO_CAM_LEGALDISCLAIMER -> kein_ld

DISABLE PROTECTION FOR WINDOW OPENING / CLOSING (FRONT / REAR)

FRM -> 3030 -> FH_TUER_AUF_STOP_MAUT -> nicht_aktiv -> Werte=00
JBBF -> 3070 -> FH_TUER_AUF_STOP_MAUT -> nicht_aktiv
Disable stop of window roll up/down while door being opened

ENABLE GPS SYNC FOR CLOCK

KOMBI -> 3000 -> Anzeige_Konfiguration -> GPS_UHR -> aktiv

ENABLE DVD/VIDEO VIA USB PORT (AND VARIOUS MEDIA)

HU_NBT -> 3003 -> API_USB_VIDEO --> both
this enables the menu selection of "movies" in i-Drive for the USB-Device
if you want to play DivX->Xvid contents as well (or Video-cD at that)
the following Settings are also necessary.
HU_NBT -> 3000 -> ENT_CODEC_XVID --> aktiv
HU_NBT -> 3000 -> ENT_CODEC_XVCD --> aktiv
Will play any format (mpg, avi, mkv, divx . Also at HD Resolution)

ENABLE HUD DISPLAY FOR ENTERTAINMENT LIST AND TELEPHONEBOOK ENTRIES

KOMBI -> 3000 -> HUD_ENTERTAINMENT_ENABLE -> aktiv
Enables radio menu
KOMBI -> 3000 -> HUD_TELEFONANRUF_ENABLE -> aktiv
Enables recent calls list to be displayed
KOMBI -> 3000 -> HUD_TELEFONBUCH_ENABLE -> aktiv
Doesn’t seem to do anything, should display full contact list
HU_NBT -> 3000 -> HUD_ENTERTAINMENTLIST -> aktiv
adds checkbox under Settings -> Heads Up Display -> Displayed Information menu
for "Entertainment/Telephone" . However the checkbox cannot be selected.

ENABLE WIFI HOTSPOT

HU_NBT > 3003 -> WLAN_STATUS -> aktiv
HU_NBT -> 3003 -> WLAN_MODUS -> ap
HU_NBT -> 3003 -> WLAN_SIGNAL_STRENGTH -> “incar” for low power, “outdoor” for high power
HU_NBT -> 3000 -> ENT_MC_WLAN_STREAM_DMP_COVERART -> aktiv
HU_NBT -> 3000 -> ENT_MC_WLAN_STREAM_DMP_VIDEO -> aktiv
HU_NBT -> 3000 -> ENT_MC_WLAN_STREAM_DMP -> aktiv
You'll then need to install a DLNA/UPnP media sharing server on your laptop or phone to be able to use this

ENABLE THE IPCE WEBSERVER

HU_NBT > 3000 -> IPCE_WEBSERVER
Will enable a webserver reachable at 172.16.222.1
It allows the browsing of some "interesting" logfiles/info (probably not of much interest for the general public)

[johntomferg]

Thank you JMH - very nice!

Can you talk some more about the WIFI HOTSPOT and DLNA/UPnP server?

Does it allow you to "pull" from the DLNA server to the car? Or are you able to "push" to the car from the laptop (acting as a server)? or something else?

[vaibhav11]

Definitely a great list... thank you.

Have you tried coding the following? If so, would you have info on the parameters?

* I-Drive: display torque and power info
* I-Drive: show M lap timer
* Hazard flasher button: have the lights do a double flash instead of standard
* Nav: show fuel station icon when the fuel light comes on

I've read about these in other forums and figured it might be good to include in your overall list.

Thanks again.

I haven't tried the other options . In particular the power "meter" is known not to be too accurate or reliable (some folks have been able to get it to work others don't ) , but
You can enable HU_CIC -> 3000 -> NAVI_FUELSTOP_PROPOSAL , this enables fuel stop icons on your NAV map once the fuel level is low enough. The icons will also display the gas station brand.
There's another setting I haven't applied yet (TYPE_OF_FUEL) which should allow you to select the type of fuel preference when you use BMW Online for fuel price display.

Haven't done the Hazard flash lights either

For something fun you can try and enable KOMBI -> 3008 -> R_GANG_AKUSTIK_ENABLE
(Enables the reverse gear gong for Japan, seems not to work for everyone, but if it does it might be "interesting" )

Once you have the Wifi/Hotspot feature enabled your HU will act as a Hotspot and you
If you have a client (laptop/itouch/iPad/Android phone/tablet, DLNA enabled hard drives etc) which support DLNA you'll be able to connect as a client and stream music/video .
You should see a new media source (USB, Library, Bluetooth etc)
