9000RPM

I'll look at it today after work. I don't have a turbo so I'm not sure if this coding option will be listed. I'll report back.

I'd like to know if it is possible to change the behavior of the rear lid on a '11 to match that of a '14 or newer. You only close the rear lid on a '11 by using the buttons on the lid itself.

THIS. When I'm listening to AUX Bluetooth and have to turn it up because the input level is lower from the phone, then it switches back to radio after next restart. LOUD. :-)

You're giving me a reason to dust off my iCarScan, get it updated, and see if I can do some of these with it.

I vote to make this a sticky.

Also going to try this with PoCOM when I get a chance. I am able to change coding values but the menu structure is going to be a little different compared to iCarScan.

Great thread, I second making this a sticky.

I might be missing the boat here but, why do people keep mentioning iCarScan? 9000RPM is doing this with a Launch X431+. I'm assuming the iCarScan and it do not have the same feature sets. They are definitely in a different price point based on what I'm seeing. Do they run the same software or something?

Are you saying that when you hold down the button on the driver's door, it won't close? And if you hold down the tailgate button on the keyfob, it also won't close?

I need to find my post in that thread asking about coding for the latest version in iCarScan...give me some time to find it.

edit..see this link

Yes, please connect PoCOM and see if it's able. I'm just spreading the word and the more options available to us, the better.

So I was the first one to test out the iCarScan back in 2015 when I was looking for a tool to reset the maintenance light. From my research, both tools are made by LAUNCH. At the time, they were said to have identical capabilities except that iCarScan limits to 5 free car brands with availability to purchase more. My iCarScan Porsche version is stuck on 21.80. The latest version is now up to 23.60 on my V+. I'll try to find my post asking in the icarscan thread about the coding, I believe a couple users reported back saying it was there. see this link

Exactly. They changed the behavior in '14.

9000RPM

I'll see if I can find that option.

nice!! thanks for taking a look! I think I may go with one of these instead of a PIWIS if the coding is as intuitive as it looks. from my understanding, coding with the piwis clones is done through menus entirely in german (while my german is decent after coding BMWs I don't feel like going in blind on a far more expensive vehicle.)

Not quite coding related - but do you know if this scanner will also support flush and adaptation routines for the e-hybrid (958.2, 2016) electric motor clutch? this was the main reason I was going to get the PIWIS as the other scanners on the market are not able to do this. If this can, i'll be ordering one today.

I was thinking real hard about pulling the trigger on a boot leg piwis. Now I'm changing my mind. Although it costs quite a bit more than a piwis.

Is there coding for "closing" the trunk lid with the key fob?

Sudar

+1 on this. Also please check automatic headlights sensitivity

same here. I thought about it for a few minutes and just decided to go ahead and pull the trigger on the launch tablet that OP is using. while it's a little bit more than a piwis II clone, I feel better about this for a few reasons:

- purchase through amazon prime, can return easily if it sucks or doesn't do what I need it to do.
- NOT buying it from a sketch overseas reseller (i've purchased some coding gear from some of these sites and it's been hit or miss.)
- I already know that coding with a piwis clone is going to be a pita since dev mode is completely in german and there is almost no documentation for menu structures of individual modules. i've inquired about support of some simple coding changes and i've gotten answers ranging from "it can do it but will require a teamviewer session" to "not possible."
- multi-make support.

looks like my tablet will get here Friday, i'll be diving in as soon as it gets here . can't wait!

BMW coding was pretty much free )) only needed a $20 cable, same with Lexus

OP said iCarScan might actually do the same. Anyone with new software can check? Unfortunately this one is not available on Amazon and some overseas seller hasn't responded to my questions

another vote to make this a sticky!
