My previous car was a 330 with I drive 7. Which I used bimmer code to code a few things. The auto stop/start is annoying as hell. And I had read somewhere that it wasn’t compatible with Idrive 8. So the other day I thought it was time to see if anything has changed. I believe it was in the g20 forum I read that people are currently using bimmer code and Protool currently. So I emailed Protool and they responded back saying so. Also have read it is a better system than bimmer code.
So yesterday I plugged my OBDLink CX adapter and I will be damned it works lol. But at this point sure enough it’s not disabling the stop/start function I have gotten rid of the seatbelt crap, and the car now starts in eco mode. Oh also got rid of the welcome Chris screen and the first warning or agreement you have to confirm each time starting car. I am getting ready to go in garage restore from back up to try again. Need to get rid of that damn start/stop crap. Sorry forgot couldn’t get the flicking of the stalk for 5 time blinker instead of 3. Will post results later.
