BimmerCode or ENET coding? What each one can do
The first question many clients ask is why pay for coding when BimmerCode exists. The short answer: they are two different things. BimmerCode changes settings that already exist in the car modules; we add features and apps that do not come from the BMW menu.
Below is the honest comparison, so you know what you are buying in each case.
What BimmerCode does
BimmerCode is a phone app that connects to the car through an OBD adapter and changes coding parameters in existing modules: lights, mirror folding, sounds, displays. It is useful if you want to enable or change settings that the car software already supports.
What we do
- Install new features on the MGU unit: Waze in the instrument cluster.
- Add apps that do not come from BMW: M Vitals, Virtual Dyno, G-Force, Drag Timer, Fault Scanner.
- Install and configure MGU Store.
- Check xDrive OFF (BETA) on compatible cars.
- Work with our own files and procedures, not just menu checkboxes.
When each one makes sense
- BimmerCode: you want to change a setting that already exists and you are comfortable with the adapter and the app.
- ENET coding: you want Waze in the cluster, new apps or MGU Store, meaning features that are not in the original menu.
- Both: start with the basic settings in BimmerCode and come to us for the features that cannot be enabled that way.
What we do not promise
We do not promise to replace every function of a coding app, and we do not promise that everything possible with an OBD adapter works the same on every car. We check the setup first.
FAQ
Can I get Waze in the cluster with BimmerCode?+
No. Waze integration in the cluster requires software components that are not part of standard module coding.
Does BimmerCode affect the warranty?+
We do not comment on third-party products. For what we install, we tell you exactly what changes before we start.
Why choose ENET coding?+
Because it adds new features instead of only changing existing settings. If you only want to change lights or sounds, a coding app may be enough.
