Veepeak OBD2 Adapter: amzn.to/3wimOkP (US), amzn.to/3PSeFdP (UK), amzn.to/3oshdDU (DE), amzn.to/3RVh8VK (CA)
BMW Z4 has a lot to offer in it's stock form and even more so when you unlock some hidden features via coding. Customizing your car makes it so much more enjoyable and convenient. It even unlocks some functions that would otherwise not be available in your country or on the specific year Z4 you have. US spec cars often have some of the key features disabled, but with the BimmerCode app we can enable them and match our European friends. In this video, I use the Veepeak OBD2 adapter which is inexpensive and works well on this age BMWs. My favorite change that I show you here is allowing the roof to be opened and closed while the vehicle is moving. Prior to coding, I was caught in the rain a few times and had to pull over to put the roof up, but now I can just close it while driving up to about 18 mph! I have also made it so Auto Start Stop feature remembers my last selection instead of always being turned on when your restart the car.

I hope you enjoy this BMW Z4 coding video! Let me know what was your favorite coding feature! Also, I forgot to the put the time on the screen, but I have added timestamps to skip around if you like!

Excellent video. Thanks for making these on the E89.

Thanks a lot for the perfect tutorial. Everything works as it should. I've already made a few changes that bugged me about the Z4.

Andriy, great video as always! I’ve had the BimmerCode and OBD adapter for six months and have coded my car. The only thing I’d point out is that you can’t do the roofWindows/mirror mods if like my car you don’t have the factory Comfort Access option. That’s why I needed the SmarTop module.

Awesome video! Love the e89 videos and hope you make one for the 335i as well! Not sure if there is a lot there, but maybe a top 5

It's amazing how many you can do on BMWs with that cheap adapter. I had an Audi TT and I had to use Carly wich costs 120€ a year and the only thing I can change is the digital Speed in the Gauge cluster

Hey Guy, thank you for these great suggestions, these are the only things that I don't appreciate about my 2010 e89, so I will soon be making changes. I like your vids, very practical, real-guy approach for people like me who are not mechanics. My fav is the AC auto on, that drives me crazy. Also the speed correction, I am determined to never get a ticket in this car so I keep a close watch on it. Keep up the good work, and your pretty easy on the eyes.

Did not know about easy access. I have had my window roll down like that a few times. Always thought that its some kind of error or battery issue. Did not know that its a feature. :D i was surely accidentaly triggering that feature.... I used INPA and NCSExpert for coding features. that was years ago. I enabled digital speedometer (really useful) , videoinmotion(and put some music videos on a dvd) and enabled roof operation while moving for times when im operating the roof at the traffic lights and it suddenly turns green. With it im not sitting there waiting for the roof to open/close and can slowly creep away or out of way for whoever is behind me. Did consider enabling autofolding sidemirrors, but left it out as i do have winter season in my aera that can freese them and i have a button inside to fold them anyway. Also my car already came with comfort access so did not have to mess with that.

Great video! Just wondering with this obd scanner can i diagnose my car for roof issues? Mine is currently stopping mid way through closing.

I have a quick question, I have an E89 automatic transmission 2011 and the indicator light that's next to the gear shift that's in park (P) always stays on, every day and night for the past year I have had this car the lake never goes off, is this normal?

Can you post how to auto fold the mirror when closing the car?

@motnik Жыл бұрын

I’m a little late to the party but I’ve modified my 2011 with comfort access via this app. The way I get the mirrors to fold is I either lock the car with the key by pressing the BMW logo and holding it until the mirrors fold in. Alternatively, I touch the riffled area on the outside door handle to lock the car and keep my finger there until the mirrors fold in.

You can make them instantly auto fold yes.

Bimmercode says it's not compatible with convertibles. How'd you get it to work for retracting your roof?

@SimpleCarGuy Жыл бұрын

Which part isn’t compatible? I can check my exact settings.

I emailed BimmerCode to clarify if one could code the e89 top to open with the key fob if the car did not come with the Comfort Access option. They said it could not be done.
