So, I know that everyone pretty much knows where to find the most common options. But there's a lot of hidden settings that I'm trying to figure out and document. This is based on my 2016 F55, but should be applicable to more than just that (any F56-based car and probably other BMW models as well)

I have started tonight working through the HU_NBT_EVO ECU. I am not yet done, and I don't have descriptions for everything - so I really want to finish some of this out. If you have ideas, please either message me or write in this post! And if you're willing to help out with additional ECUs, I'd really appreciate it.

I'm trying to figure it out as I go (without breaking my new car), so..

Hey anything have you discovered about getting the JCW Tach to be enabled on the HUD?

 

[patchmonkey]

DISCOVERY NUMBER 1

Enable JCW Tachometer in HUD

Requirements: F-Series MINI Cooper or Cooper S, Heads-Up Display. Probably also requires Visual Boost.

Go to HU_NBT_EVO (I cannot help if you don't have HU_NBT_EVO, but I would suggest looking for similar terms).

Under 300C > HUD, set HUD_SPORTANZEIGE_ENABLE, HUD_SPORTANZEIGE_FES_ENABLE, and HUD_SPORTANZEIGE_MS_GASSE_ENABLE to AKTIV.

(Alternatively, it may be possible to use "300C > HUD > HUD_M" and set that to ACTIV. Turning both on creates menu items in the HUD menu for M View and Sports Gauges; Sports Gauges gives more options.)

Next, go to KOMBI and under 3003 > FZG_Aussttang, set HUD_SPORTANZEIGE_ENABLE, HUD_SPORTANZEIGE_FES_ENABLE, and HUD_SPORTANZEIGE_MS_GASSE_ENABLE to AKTIV. I also enabled HUD_FAHRSTUFE_ENABLE - but I'm not sure what that does.

@patchmonkey once you enabled all those and the option to select Sports Gauges show up, when selecting them does it actually work?

Can someone please point me in the right direction for the best cable & software package to get? I have seen a few on FleaBay.

Does anyone know if it's possible to code the folding mirrors to operate when you lock the car (rather than holding the remote button for another second or two) ?

It is indeed possible and one of the first things I did. You can also make the windows go up remotely as well as down.

 

[bjblyth]

Doesn’t seem to do anything. My reality hasn’t changed at all.

Haha! This got me!

 

[m-dejong]

Is it hard to do it yourself as newbie? Or let it do by a coding expert?

 

[fjsato]

Hi,

Im new with codding and only want to change my F56 Configurations (like headsup with RPM). I follow all steps that I found on Bimmer and I get the connection with the car succesfully. The problem is 2 erros with my ESYS software. Anyone can help me? I generated a document in the link below (.docx).

Many thanks to all!!!

Hi, thanks for info. On my car I already do this and work perfectly.

But, today I try to do the same coding to another mini 2014 and didn't work. I change the same parameters but I unable to activate the sport hud on the idrive.

Any idea?

His car: F56_16_03_502

Tks!!!

Sato.

Anyone in Ontario that would be able to try this on my 2014 f56?

 

[dragons1988]

Does anyone know if this will work with a F54 Clubman S?

This coding process will work on ANY F-platform BMW or MINI, though some of the coding options may vary based on model. If you're talking about the JCW sport displays specifically, since the hardware is all the same, I would assume it would be possible to get sport displays on the F54, same as a F56.

Hi, thanks for your feedback I can confirm that I just enabled it successfully on my F54 Clubman S! basically you get a tacho like this

 

[AarnMunro]

...And the possibility to have 5 lamps instead of 3 for the direction indicator?

YAS....

I wish I could do this...sadly, I need newer software and the dealer won't do it unless I have a good reason to.

 

[Emilio]

What you mean newer software? Which software has to updated? I have a 2014 Cooper S and it doesn't work

 

[surfymac]

March 2015 F56

How do I determine what software my car is running? I've made the changes to enable to the sport display on the HUD, I can see the options in the HUD settings but the display is not appearing. I didn't have the HU_NBT_EVO but found the settings in HU_NBT.

 

[nutsofamily]

I see you have the display:

Go to HU_NBT_EVO (I cannot help if you don't have HU_NBT_EVO, but I would suggest looking for similar terms).

Under 300C > HUD, set HUD_SPORTANZEIGE_ENABLE, HUD_SPORTANZEIGE_FES_ENABLE, and HUD_SPORTANZEIGE_MS_GASSE_ENABLE to AKTIV.

(Alternatively, it may be possible to use "300C > HUD > HUD_M" and set that to ACTIV. Turning both on creates menu items in the HUD menu for M View and Sports Gauges; Sports Gauges gives more options.)

Next, go to KOMBI and under 3003 > FZG_Aussttang, set HUD_SPORTANZEIGE_ENABLE, HUD_SPORTANZEIGE_FES_ENABLE, and HUD_SPORTANZEIGE_MS_GASSE_ENABLE to AKTIV. I also enabled HUD_FAHRSTUFE_ENABLE - but I'm not sure what that does.

Did you code ALL of the above??


Thanks.
