Bimmer Code Mini SE

Here are a couple older threads discussing BimmerCode if you're interested:

Customize MINI Settings with Bimmercode App

Toggle switch for pedestrian sound

 

What does that code do, flash the letters M I N I in Morse code from the tail lights? I really have no idea what rear fog lights do--are they somehow aimed very low like front fog lights? Can the headlights be reprogrammed to do all the tricks they do in Britain and Europe?

 

Yes, they provide light so the vehicle can be seen through fog, but do not project very far. The rear fog lights on the SE are the red lights on either side of the rear bumper area, down low. They are fully functional but for the US market there's no switch to activate them, due to US regulations prohibiting dual rear fog lights.

 

I've done a few things with bimmercode pedestrian on/off toggle, default to sport mode and a few lighting options... just one more thing please bimmercode can you do the start button sound delete, it does my head in

 

Can anyone tell me why my SE makes the shut-down sound ONLY SOMETIMES when I open the door to get in?

 

Ohh that's a good idea. The startup sound is cool, but oddly lo-fi. I would like to shut off most of the beeps and boops at this point.

 

It's likely a software issue. Since there isn't really much difference between "running" and "off", there is probably a routine that plays this sound when certain conditions are met (e.g. if you open the door and get out while "running"). It's possible a state machine somewhere gets confused and thinks the correct sequence of events have occurred to play the sound.

 

Our 2nd gen Olds Aurora had two rear fogs

 

That apparently was one of the few that had them as standard equipment. According to this NHTSA interpretation, they seem to be regulated on a per-state basis.

 

mirror fold was my favourite mod when i had my 1 series, tried it on the se and then realised i didn't have electric mirrors

 

I had an OBD11 for my Golf R and just ordered an OBD adapter for Bimmercode to turn off the alarms and sounds. I saw a post that mentioned putting the car in the diagnostic mode by activating the start/stop three time rapidly. Does this apply to the SE?

 

I don't think you need to do that for bimmercode to work.. That being said, I have not tried changing any alarms yet. I do know that if you want to change the warning sounds you do not need to enter diagnostic mode.
I did the pedestrian acoustic warning enable/disable checkbox, and it turns off the sound for both D and R.. which is new to me.

 

Yes, that acoustic warning is on the top of my list as well. I just got my OBD adapter so I'll give it a try.

 

I didn’t do the i3 method (which makes it permanent). But when I toggle it off, the sound is also off in reverse, which is different from what others have reported earlier (off in drive, on in reverse).

 

I was able to add the pedestrian sound option in the head unit but still working on the Active Sound Design startup sound. Guess I’ll have to try fooling the App and say it’s an I3. Wonder what that will do to the automatic backup?

 

I don't think that does anything to the pedestrian warning. Active Sound Design on an ICE Mini plays "fake" engine sounds into the cabin. You can make the regular Cooper sound like a JCW.

 

I think it’s the Star Trek startup sound etc. in the SE/I3.
