    Coding with Carly for E84

    Hi All,

    I have a 2014 build E84, sDrive20i MSport which here in Australia comes with Halogen Lights.

    I am not sure how this model is equipt in other markers, but in Australia, the low beams are H7 with High beam H15. The H15 is a double filament, 15w and 55w. The 15w serves the purpose of Daytime Running Lights (DRL) and the 55w is of course the High Beam.

    I have just fitted H15 LED globes in place of the Halogen.

    While the light is excellent, they are throwing codes, High beam out or Side light out.

    I convinced my wife that a Carly BMW Analyser was just the thing to buy me for Christmas, so armed with that and a 12 month subscription to the Full Carly IOS App, I have coded out the Voltage monitoring of the High beams and Side lights.

    While I was about it I deleted the initial warning on startup and added the Digital Speedo, using true speed in place of Corrected Speed which shows about 3-4km faster than you are actually doing.

    What other markets use the H15 globe for DRLs and High Beam?

    Soon to have a go at coding my wife's 2016 220i Active Tourer. Looking to see what we can add to the Heads up Display.

    Cheers and Happy Christmas to you all !

    Nice. We just picked up an E84 from my dad - minty 2-owner with only 25k on it. I am JUST now diving in to the coding, and while I'm pretty eggspurt at the old platforms, the E89/90 based cars have some little differences which is interesting. Going out to try to fix some stuff for the wife this morning... Priority one is fix a bunch of little annoyances with locking and remotes etc... (like the narrow window between "long hold remote button to unlock hatch" and "very slightly longer hold to set of panic alarm!!!")
