Thank you for this explanation!

Yes I agree with you. The unique condition with @Whereitis is that the car went to zero on the outbound leg and it was still zero when he used the car on his return home so the slight downhill cannot be applied as it cannot be such on both legs. I really don't understand it as even with a small...

This is really interesting. It is not my experience at all - meaning I have never let the charge go to zero. I am just stating that an EV cannot run when the battery is at zero just as an ICE car cannot run without gas. This runs counter to any logic. I cannot provide a rational answer to you...

Wow, You are brave running the battery to zero. I am no expert at all, but the only thing that I think of is that zero is not zero. Just as in an ICE car, when the gas tank registers empty, there is a small reserve; I believe that BMW has left a small reserve charge in the battery. And if...

You're most welcome. Coding is easy. If I may suggest . . . You will need an OBD reader (very cheap). I bought this one in 2018 from Amazon and it still works well: "VEEPEAK OBDCheck BLE OBD2 Bluetooth Scanner Car OBD II Diagnostic Scan Tool for iOS and Android Check Engine Light Code Reader...

Interesting point. Let me see if I can provide an explanation - though some members with more knowledge can perhaps provide additional information. When this car was developed from 2007 - 2013 in Germany, there were very few charging stations. This car worked well within the city if it was...

Good point.

Question: Did you charge the car last night? If you did you were probably at 100% this morning. It will automatically be available (ie ungreyed) when you have 74% charge left. This is the reason I never use it in town because each morning I am at 100% charge and no need to use it during the...

Great. The "Hold State of Charge" is the best thing you can do with a Rex. Normally the Rex will only turn on when you have 6% of charge left. However if you have such a low charge left, and have still a long way to go before you get to a charger, depending on the where you are driving (ie...

Right. However at the time, I needed the "Hold state of charge" more than CarPlay as I was going on a 600km trip. Now that I am back, I will be contacting Defined Coding again to make it work. He (Kyle) has been pretty good about working with me (given the 5 hour time difference between London...

So I looked on my invoice when I took the car in for other work, and unfortunately the recall reason is not listed on the invoice. It was corrected for free of course. Regarding my issue above, upon advice from Defined Coding, I reran the software application to reset the headunit back to the...

I have had my BMW i3 for 6 years and when I got it, I coded it to enable me to turn on the Rex below 75% battery level using the BimmerCode App along with many other parameters. Then a few year later, I contacted Defined Coding in Britain and purchased software to install Apple CarPlay...
