I asked about the G42 M240I support.
Whenever my build comes in, I'll update this thread on what works. I plan on using this adapter, https://www.kiesmotorsports.com/prod...39538241929301 Hi, you may be able to connect to the car using the G20 selection and some of the options may be available, but it is not officially supported yet.

Thanks! Have this available from my F22. Worked very well. I was wondering about using it for the G42 as well. When mine arrives (hopefully next week). I will check it out

For what it’s worth
I recently bought the modBMW adaptor and it works flawlessly, not only that it has an ethernet port just in case you want to use a hardwire connection. I had a couple of tech questions and he answered in minutes despite the conflicting time zones When someone offers great service they are worth a mention Svetlin Chokov Programa LTD. 26A Vasil Aprilov blvd. 4000 Plovdiv, Bulgaria phone: +359899871828 support@modbmw.com modBMW.com |

Having used this app for about a year on a daily driver it’s a must have
For G42 (according to Bimmercode) before they update the app the following functions are available if the control module is fitted. https://bimmercode.app/cars/g20/ Convenience things like stop start memory (if you have auto stop start in the USA) removal of the navigation nag screen and ability to start in sport individual (or anything else) are alone worth the cost of the app. Last edited by DaveDee; 01-21-2022 at 09:18 PM..

I prefer to use an iPad as there is no carplay conflict as the ipad does not have the embedded carplay app. To use wireless its best to use flight mode to avoid conflicts I mentioned the suppler above for the modBMW adaptor, just above as he has awesome service and is quite a lot less expensive than others who all supply the similar adaptor with their own firmware and branding Last edited by DaveDee; 01-22-2022 at 06:49 PM..

So I used the Kies wireless adapter and was able to use both BimmerCode and BimmerLink. When signing into BimmerCode I chose the 3 Series instead of the 2. And to my surprise it worked. Just to test it out I coded the Bowers Wilks option on the audio. Then I went into BimmerLink and it worked as well. The exhaust Flap is worth the money alone. I will say doing all that made me quite anxious since none specifically state it's for our cars. But so far… no harm, no foul.

By some modern shipping miracle, DHL dropped off my modBMW obd2 scanner last night. Considering the scanner was picked up in Sofia, Bulgaria Monday afternoon its incredible it made it here in 2 days, for roughly $25 for shipping.
I used bimmercode and already coded the default driving mode to sport individual, which I figure takes care of start stop plus driving mode all in one configuration change. I am tempted to try out some of the coding options for instrument cluster displays. IIRC from reading some g20 forums, they were not able to do much with the ambient lighting settings. I know some 5 series that were successful, but sadly these cars have as few "chips" as possible in the new era.

Not sure of US consumer law but you are not changing any OE equipment and not modifying any hardware, you are simply choosing one of the options provided by BMW so I don’t see how it could void warranty. Afterall access is via an unrestricted OBD2 port

That being said, I've made coding changes on my last two BMWs and they never once even mentioned it. The problem you're most likely to encounter is: you take it in, they have to update the software to fix your problem, and they wipe your changes out in the process. So you have to code it again when you get home. |

Coding "sticks" even after you remove the device.

Was able to code a few things myself with Toyota Supra and 2 series options with no problem. I will try the G20 today to at least start in Sport or above mode than Comfort.
