64 hex is 100 decimal (as in 100%), it's not 64%.

I could be wrong but i think the comment of that value stated its in percentages and not real hex decimals. I'll check tonight when I have the system with esys available

Yes, the comment says 0 to 100 percent.

Since this is a comment that is meant to be read by a human, it's assumed to be in decimal not hex. When programmers wants to indicate a hex value in comments/documentation, we either write 0x64, or 64h so that there isn't any confusion.

But since you can only enter these kind of values in hex, you have to convert 100 (decimal) to hex (64h) before you enter it.

The value range you can store in these 1-byte variables is from 00h (0) to FFh. (255 decimal).

Storing 99 in the hex value would results in a decimal value of 153; probably not what you want to store the percentage as. I have no idea what the ECU would do with that value.

Make sure you know how to convert between decimal and hex or else you will end up programming the wrong values into the ECU's.

An i thought that for this one it specifically stated its not hex but a % value.

You are probably right, but i find it weird that it has accepted my value of 99 (which translates to 153% as you stated)

Great job illhan....

Maybe you find sometime the code, you remember
instrument cluster lights on all the time, no matter if your 'outsidelights' are on or not.

So I tried he ambient light coding out last night.. I do believe its in Hex and not %ages. I enetered 99 and when I went back in it said something about unknown value, so I defaulted it back to 64h.

ilhan: there are a few errors on the cheat sheet, could you activate the comments on there so we may comment on certain things?

I know it works on F10's, but I have not been able to get it to work on my F30 and I have not seen anyone else get it to work either!

cant get it to work on mine either

Instrument cluster is a difficult one, there is some stuff i really want there too, no succes yet.

I haven't had time to check yet, but I didn't get any error when I entered 99, heck its set to 99 on my car at the moment.

How do I enable comments?

I'll move that one to the bottom at unconfirmed then. Did you try both values together?

Here you go the comment from that value:

Abhangig von der Farbe der Innenausstattung kann die Helligkeit der Ambienteumfange eingestellt werden.
0: 0%, 100:100%

it specifically states value0 stands for 0% and 100 stands for 100%
Since I'm checking something for Shawn later this evening i'll include this in the test. Lets see how it does at value 0 (eg 0% as per my understanding)

Sorry, maybe i missunderstand, regarding my english.

I have the option with my idrive to set up the ambiente light... Out of the box
I can set to more power light and less power light by the idrive...

US cars have it too. The ambient light level can be adjusted via the iDrive in addition to the light level wheel next to the head light switch.

I did with no luck. .. this is all over the coding sticky as well and no one can seem to get to it work. It may not even be possible on the F30.

It may be just that. Sorry for the confusion

Its stock on all f30's regardless of region I think. I know Shawn didnt have it on his f10 tho (maybe buildyear? ) The options described can a) make it even brighter and b) making it independant of the wheel next to the head light. I found that very usefull as I can get max ambient brightness without getting max instrument brightness.

If you have anything else that can be added, please let me know in a pm and I'll add it. I'll see if I can find time and convert it to pdf in the future.

Great work, really! I am still scrolling through the list and discovering so many things I always liked - damn, that will be a LONG coding session ...

Unfortunately I can't yet PM you, as I have already some corrections for your list. Guess I will need one more post and wait 2 days before I can ...

Why can't you just post the corrections here?

Great update. Many thanks.

Can anyone confirm the trunk close via button and fob working?
The reason I ask was there doesn't appear to be a HKFM module in F30.

I have never seen an F30 with a motorized trunk lid, so I don't think it's possible.

All I have is a big spring!

Right, there is no automatic closing for the F30 (just the big spring), however the F31 might offer this option.

The list mainly seems to be a mixture of F10 and F30, where the F10 has the trunk closing possibility and also the night vision, which the F30 doesn't offer.

ilhan1103 · 12-09-2012, 12:17 PM

It says (or should say) this only works if you have the engine thingy. But I'll edit it

Night vision is an option here in belgium for the f30, same for the trunk engine thing but my dealer might have been mistaken in his zeal to sell shit. Most don't know anything here.

Edit: Since neither option is available in the configurator I'm going to assume the dealer was talking out of his behind and the options are simply not there.
