BIMMERCODE: BRAKE FORCE DISPLAY (FLASHING BRAKES) 

Thic F30 Do you have the expert mode coding for the rear drls? On a G series?

...or just the coding? I’ve found that most menus are not available, due to the options being available in idrive. I want to see if I can code it be exert mode. Thanks.

Thic F30 hey I just got my BimmerCode app and it doesn’t show brake force display type any way you can help me get it?

Tried this with my 650i GC and it has brake force options but not he expert mode options you went thru in the video. Won’t work still, does anyone know how to access the brake force on these?

Does this work on non LCI or cars with the earlier model rear lights?

Rear fog lights? 🧐

@@boostedbavarian yes F30 US spec have rear LED's in the taillights but are not active, you can activate them in coding, check his other videos

It is for safety reasons. The bfd.

How are flashing brakes lights gonna matter if the other driver isn't paying attention?

@@alananderson9072 Because a light that's flashing is more likely to catch their attention than one that lights up and stays on. Same reason your hazards blink, basically.

@@BlitzSixx i don't understand what you mean by catch their attention in this context...if the driver behind you isn't paying attention then why would it matter if the light is flashing or solid?

@@alananderson9072 well "not paying attention" doesn't mean they're in a coma, just zoned out a bit or not focusing on the road. Think about it this way, if you're staring off in the distance you can still vaguely notice what happens in your periphery or 'corner of your eye'. Well if something starts flashing, you are more likely to notice and turn to look. Also like when a cop is pulled over with their lights on at night, you see it from wayyy back on the highway, because flashing bright lights stand out a lot from whatever else is around it. Same idea with BFD, if they are just tired unfocused, hopefully the flashing will alert them that something important is happening and they zone back in lol

@@BlitzSixx first of all by definition a distracted driver is engaging in some activity that takes his attention from the road. We're talking about using a phone or trying to calm down a pet in the car. So if you're checking on your kids in the back seat it doesn't matter if the brake lights are flashing or solid And I hate to break this to you but you see all lights from way back at night, because it's night. All lights stands out in the darkness you just know its the police because they are red and blue So again you moved the goalposts to tired and unfocused when we're talking about distracted drivers.

Rpgs are in the MAM: main artillery module

🤙🏽

So unless the car slows down to 5km/h it won't work? Cus my break force lights don't come on

Did you guys figure this out?

You have to brake hard for this to work.

yes the hazards will still turn on automatically

For sure man, I’ve heard that it works for some without export mode and doesn’t for others. But this method will for sure work for everyone 👌🏽

Thic F30 really love your f30 man it’s super clean! It’s how I want mine at the end I show your car to my wife and say “I want mine like that” haha cheers mate!

Lol

nah no they won't. Otherwise they'd be pulling over Hyundais and Kias left and right that seem to do this from factory, could be aftermarket but I doubt those owners would be modifying to an extent like so.

Bruno Giuffrida I just coded it into my x3 without expert mode, it was on the main page.

@@willstewart8614 Thanks for the response! I also got a response from Stephan at Bimmercode support. He said that it is all in the main menu now, and that there is no need to go into Expert Mode. Gonna try it today.

Thanks

Me too 😟

@@levski65 To be clear, this setting you are referring to is under Expert mode within FEM.

For bfd you have to be driving fast and braking hard. That is likely why you guys are not seeing results. 🤷🏽‍♂️

Brake harder.

I am having the same issue. All the codings are the same as in the video , with the same method. And it fails to work for me.

@@blackopsguy97wish i new the solution :/

@illestAl nope. At this point I think it only works on the LCI taillight, not the stock ones.

It 100% works on the stock lights.

It is

@@ThicWhips sweet ty will do this once my adapter gets here Sunday. Bimmercode should give you a creator code kinda like fortnite does lol

Its been a year did you receive an answer?

Instead of selecting L or R output just select “ MAPPING_BRAKEFORCED_M_OUTPUT” and select it to blink then leave the L an R at default setting . It will only blink for the middle light. Coded this for my F32 and it worked

Some of the models don’t work on all cars. There are quite a few things I cannot code on my car etc

Tino Z unless you have the sensors , or the controls , all the screens were assembled the same. You’ll be able to tell use a vin decoder online or you’ll have the toggle on and off options on the left side of your car (US)

That’s what I was thinking About the screens but thanks !

Kill the bee that flew into your car

Thic F30 I wish it was a bee lol but in all honesty I think it’s coming from the FR door speaker, I just received my vgate yesterday so since the morning I’ve been checking out what I can code, and I think something triggered this buzzing thing

I would use your backup coding to stock. If the buzzing persists it’s not related to coding.

Chet Cabell Same issue with me

Give it a shot

@@ThicWhips well gave it a shot and for some reason when i'm in the "REM" and make my attempt to code, it goes through and says it coded ok but it doesn't actually reset the ECU. you ever have this happen to you?!

I have not

Thic F30 true trueee thanks for the response my friend. I’ll figure it out
