Do we know if this will have limited function on the new idrive software in 2025 models? I know Bimmercode got nerfed a bit by the new software.

Hello,

no, it is unaffected by recent iDrive changes.

Does anyone know of a G42 owner that has purchased this. Not sure what it can do on that vehicle. Any input canDO_stef?

Hello!

canDO+ supports the G42 and there are a few out there. The main differences are no M1/M2 buttons, so no Triggers, same for "M Mode", "Drift Mode", "Track Mode".

On the G42, you instead get Actions for

Sport Mode
Sport Plus Mode
Sport Individual Mode
Eco Mode
Eco Individual Mode

The rest of the functionality is the same.

If you are in the US, distribution is handled by Kies Motorsports, and afaik, their stock is G8X, so you have two choices: ask them to update the FW to G4X, or place the order and contact us for instructions specific to the G8X->G4X FW update. It's pretty easy either way!

Turns out that iDrive 8.5 doesn't code the same way as 8.0 for heated seats, so a custom action is required.

Stef over at canDO was very helpful and together via online chat figured it out. We were even able to figure out the Heated steering wheel action for 8.5.

Stef told me canDO would work on these findings for a future Firmware update. (I'm currently using v1.7.2)

The customer service and speed of communication is top notch.

So, for those with canDO and 8.5 that would like to have heated seats and steering wheel associations these are the actions you would need to add (you can name them anything you like).

Driver Heat 3: 209#FFFFFFFFF8FFFFFF
Driver Heat 2: 209#FFFFFFFFF7FFFFFF
Driver Heat 1: 209#FFFFFFFFF6FFFFFF
Driver Heat Off: 209#FFFFFFFFF5FFFFFF

Passenger Heat 3: 209#FFFFFFFFFFF8FFFF
Passenger Heat 2: 209#FFFFFFFFFFF7FFFF
Passenger Heat 1: 209#FFFFFFFFFFF6FFFF
Passenger Heat Off: 209#FFFFFFFFFFF5FFFF

Steering Heat On: 214#FFFF8FFFFFFFFFFF
Steering Heat Off: 214#FFFF5FFFFFFFFFFF

New iDrive 8.5 firmware is now available with fixes for heated seats, and additional functionality for heated steering wheel.

Please contact us if you have iDrive 8.5 for instructions for this update. An extra step, this time only, is required to pick up iD8.5-specific firmware.
