I’ve been coding the comfort settings in my G22, specifically adjusting the seat position memory. It’s a game changer for long drives! Anyone else tried it?

3

Absolutely! I coded my ambient lighting to match my mood. It’s super fun to have that flexibility!

4

That’s great to hear! Has anyone tried coding the exhaust sound? I’m curious if it really adds that extra thrill!

5

Yes, but it can be a bit of a trial and error! I did code my exhaust settings, and it definitely gave my G22 a sportier growl without being obnoxious.

6

Coding the lighting options is so satisfying! I set mine to change based on the drive mode. Feels like I’m in a sci-fi movie every time I drive!

7

That sounds epic! I wonder if there’s a feature to have the lights sync to music. Anyone done that?

8

Not yet, but that would be amazing! I’ve been focusing more on safety features instead. Just added lane departure warnings; it’s quite useful.

9

Safety features are crucial! I’ve added the speed limit recognition, and I find it really helps me stay within limits on unfamiliar roads.

10

That’s smart! I’m curious, what platform are you all using for coding? I need to get started!

11

I mainly use BimmerCode. It’s user-friendly and has plenty of tutorials online. Definitely worth checking out for beginners!

I’ve heard about BimmerCode, but isn’t it a bit pricey? Are there free options, or is it worth the investment?

13

Haha, coding can turn my G22 into a spaceship! Just need to make sure not to accidentally turn on the self-driving mode while I’m singing along to my playlist.

I’ve recently coded my G22 to integrate with Waze. It offers real-time traffic updates which are way better than the default navigation system. Highly recommend giving it a shot!

That’s awesome! I’ve been looking into music streaming options. Have you tried integrating Spotify? How did it go?

16

I did a Spotify integration last week! The setup was pretty straightforward, just needed to tweak the code a bit. Now I can voice command my playlists directly. It’s a game changer!

How did you manage the voice command feature, @melissa08? I might want to implement that for my Google Music as well.

18

I focused on the API settings in the backend. It can be tricky, but actually quite fun once you get the hang of it! Would help with Google Music too, I think.

19

Alongside music, I’ve coded a maintenance alert system that sends notifications directly to my phone. Super helpful to keep track of service intervals!

That’s so useful! How did you set it up? I’m always missing those service reminders.
