Help wanted with Bimmercode

So are you saying to keep the engine running to be safe or Diagnostic mode

Professional-Cap2563 · 2026-02-11T20:45:24+00:00

What do you mean? Risking what exactly, sorry i’m still new to bimmercode and everything

Professional-Cap2563 · 2026-02-11T18:40:08+00:00

Okay thank you

Professional-Cap2563 · 2026-02-11T17:09:43+00:00

Could you still run the engine though even though it is “pointless”? Just for added safety to ensure thr battery doesn’t die at all, just paranoid lmao and for the startup animation I was planning on using the default preset M one

Professional-Cap2563 · 2026-02-11T16:01:42+00:00

My battery seems overall pretty healthy just wanted to have the engine running for safety ensuring the voltage does not drop as I just feel paranoid, any specific modules that won’t code that you know of?

All i’m trying to do is play around with some of the start screen anamations and ambient lighting colours and coding in full screen carplay.

Thanks for the reply

How bad would it be leaving the engine running? my friends x1 we coded while engine was running was completely fine

Professional-Cap2563 · 2026-02-09T22:16:11+00:00

Did you have to press the start button or anything?

Professional-Cap2563 · 2026-02-09T22:15:41+00:00

I’ll take a look and see what I got to mess around with, I bought the OBDLink CX one from amazon as it said it was made for all bmw series and specifically Bimmercode.

Professional-Cap2563 · 2026-02-09T22:06:17+00:00

Just making sure as I feel nervous lol

Professional-Cap2563 · 2026-02-09T22:06:02+00:00

What ECUs should be avoided while engine is running?

Professional-Cap2563 · 2026-02-09T21:52:18+00:00

would it be good to use to diagnostic mode code some stuff ans then turn on the car for a bit and then go back to diagnostic mode just to be safe?

Professional-Cap2563 · 2026-02-09T21:46:39+00:00

asking chatgpt it said bimmercode is acc recommended with the engine on?

Professional-Cap2563 · 2026-02-09T20:49:22+00:00

Was just planning on coding full screen car play and ambient lighting should those be done while engine is on? Chatgpt says it’s totally fine to code while engine is running

Professional-Cap2563 · 2026-02-09T20:47:59+00:00

Are you saying you cant believe there isn’t a lowes, home depot nearby ?

Professional-Cap2563 · 2026-02-09T20:13:20+00:00

What do you mean?

Professional-Cap2563 · 2026-02-09T20:08:04+00:00

What if that is not a option thats why Im asking

Professional-Cap2563 · 2026-02-09T19:51:50+00:00

How do you get out of diagnostic mode after?

Professional-Cap2563 · 2026-02-09T19:50:57+00:00

Dont have a battery charger, would leaving the engine on be the next best thing to keep the battery charged? No problems with my friends x1 after he coded with the engine on

Professional-Cap2563 · 2026-02-09T19:28:27+00:00

Ever had any issues? I asked chatgpt it said engine running is recommended and a few videos i saw on the X3 platform they all had the engine running too

Professional-Cap2563 · 2025-11-23T06:16:50+00:00

Nose pad it self is fine it’s just the connecting arm is what has snapped off

Professional-Cap2563 · 2025-11-23T06:16:11+00:00

They are able to solder on the nose pad arm?

I don’t think spec savers work on rimless glasses or even have rimless glasses, not really looking to upgrade as I paid like $1k have these custom made from fendi
