You have to go into expert mode under the instrument cluster menu. Then you have to look for the German writing that includes "volume." Then you have to choose the 8.5 value. Then select code to increase fuel tank capacity.
thanks for the video. I've read on the forums that you should backup your settings so that when you do take it to a dealer and they touch it.. and blow away your settings you can recover those. can you show the backup and recover process in this app too? like backup a section. change something and then recover it from backup.
Hey! Have followed your video but keep getting a "ERROR coding of the ECU failed" message in Bimmercode. Can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. Thoughts? Thanks-
Do you have to set the Range Extender settings each time you recharge the car? I know you don't have to recode, just wondering if you have to change it on each startup or recharge?
Coding the REX and changing the gas tank capacity to 2.4l were the only two I did. There are a bunch of other small things you can change, like folding in the side mirrors, when you lock the doors.
Thank you for the great video, and I am going to code my i3 rex as well. One more question here, my i3 warranty will be end in Aug 2020. Any impact on the warranty after coding?
It really depends on your dealership. Coding a i3 is a little iffy when it comes to warranty. It you want to be completely safe and not worry and then code it.
I can’t comment on the snow performance because last winter we didn’t get much snow in Little Rock. But these guys seem to think it performs pretty well. www.bmwblog.com/2016/01/06/test-drive-bmw-i3-electric-vehicle-winter-update/
Phew, this will save me a time off a work trip that's too close for work to buy a flight but about 100 miles too far to drive without 1-2 charge stops (and the companycars are too big..i hate driving those monsters).
Thanks for the great video. I bought the adapter from the link below. But mine doesn’t give me any control in ‘instrument cluster’. It just shows ‘no data’. I asked the buyer about this. They said their product doesn’t give you control in that section. I see yours is black while none of the adapter in the link is. Did you buy it from anywhere else? If so, do you mind to share it with me. Thank you very much!
