High Beam Assist and TPM Coding
Two features which I was upset at not having... but after coding (actually had someone do this remotely - and he did a great job!) i now have both!
HBA - is now set to automatically come on (the F10 has the software, just not the button on the stalk). If you flash your high beams, it stays active. If you turn on your high beams, it deactivates (but just by switching lights on/off, HBA turns back on). Cool!!! TPM - i now have pressure and temp! I'm very happy now!!

Cool! Enjoy the feature. I guinea pig'd this back in September. Oh, and I also have the stalk.
I hope this guy didn't charge you for what was more than likely stuff I and others shared with the community for free.

He charged a pretty low rate based on about 2 total hours he spent on project. I could probably do my own plumbing for free as well, but I eventually pay someone to clean up my mess. Well worth the small fee in my mind as I have no IT background...

Wow - it usually takes me about 5-7 minutes per feature coded which includes verification that it is working. In 2 hours he must have coded a lot of features. What's the full list?

Try to learn how to do this on your own, it's quite a lot of fun. Then as others discover cool tweaks you can do these yourself, without being dependent on someone else to help you. It's not nearly as difficult as it sounds.
If you're in central california I can help you out in person (obviously no charge). Others on the forum will also help you gratis. |

VIM TPM Mirrors fold on lock Trunk close with FOB HBA Windows keep closing when door open turn signal in HUD warnings turned off (kept seat belt one though) Welcome lights (low beam) - although i may have had this already Unlock doors when car turned off Anyone figured out how to have Night Vision automatically come back up when you touch iDrive? (its annoying to keep pushing the button below steering wheel when i change the radio - i use NV to avoid deer). Also how to connect bluetooth while in motion? When i dock my iphone it loses the bluetooth music connection (I play Spotify) which doesn't work on dock (unless someone has figured that out)?

Had "fly the big sky" on my M6 (but i sold my plane last November so i couldn't do that for M5)... on M5 i went with the ski/board Montana... Although i still have my Euro plates on... just waiting for someone to tell me to take them off, but i figure i'd just show them the German license stuff they gave me on ED... and say i'm just in town for the month..

No I'm just registered there as a company car. I do come up there from time to time because I have a call center operation up there but my car is in the South East.

Am I correct in assuming that this is something which I can request free of charge during my delivery process? I wanted to have TPM turned on as well as the auto start/stop function turned off.

Auto Start/Stop will remember the last used setting at every restart. So if you turn it off once, it will remain off until you turn it on again.

But I would encourage you to try yourself. I have a business background. Know very little about computers. But I was able to do this myself.

Is the high beam assist in the mirror or the front camera?
Do all F10 M5s come with the ability to do HBA? I may be replacing my mirror and want to use HBA. Do I need one with a HBA option or can I just get any M5 mirror? Thx |

It utilizes the camera - the same camera that's used for anti-collision warning. I believe the camera is located behind the mirror but not in the mirror.
