Update to BimmerCode fix for Instrumentation dimming in IDrive 8?

Twilight360 · 10-04-2023, 07:28 AM

Morning!

When I purchased my X6 last year and got 15% tint the r33_RGSport OBD coding worked handily to fix the instrumentation dimming issue. Thanks RGSport!

I just purchased an X7 2024 and I intend to tint this as well, but there is no manual adjustment wheel for interior lighting . So I’m wondering if this invalidates the OBD fix that worked with previous gen. Any feedback? Has anyone encountered this ?

ID 8 cars cant be coded.
I havent noticed any dimming issue, i have 80% on my windshield and 35% on the sides. On my g01 the same tint caused the dimming issue.

You can adjust interior lighting brightness, it's just buried in the menus.
