Hi Guys,

I have a 2016 Rex

I have been thinking of the following :

a) Unlocking the additional 2 liters of fuel.
b) Enabling REX on-demand after 75% SOC
c) Programming the key remote for opening frunk
d) Turning off radio/media when door is opened.
e) Many other conveniences, achieved by coding

Question : Is there a regulatory (read govt.) reason as to why these option are not configurable by BMW ?

I plan to ask BMW Canada, reason if in Canada there is no regulatory reason to prevent coding, then when I have paid for 'i3' and the features are available, then they should help code it. I am willing to pay a fee for this effort.

Reason : If BMW codes the car it will not void warranty.

Anybody asked BMW Canada the above question.

Thanx

You can ask them, but they won't do it (and depending who you ask they might not even know what you're talking about). Plus everytime the dealership does a software update to it, it will reset everything back to the North American-spec anyway.

Just code it yourself, then you can redo after a visit to the dealership.
