it might be worth getting in touch and asking if it is a user switchable option as Peter asks??

It isn't user switchable and has to be done through the appropriate hack using Bimmercode or similar. I did ask Sytner if they could do it for me and they said "no"

Are you close to any other members who may be able to do it for you for some beer tokens ?

I'm afraid that I haven't been around long enough to know where the members live but I'm in Tamworth and would appreciate it if anyone lives close enough that is willing to give me a hand.

I have Bimmercode on my phone but no plug in adaptor as i sent it back

Ian, I’d stick a separate post up with a request for help from a local member. There is a section where members say where they are and what kit/help they can offer but not sure how up to date it is

Ian, which vGate did you purchase? I use the vGate vLinker BM+ (Amazon, $40 US) on my 2021 M40i with Bimmercode and it works perfectly. There is a cheaper vGate that does not work with G series BMWs, could that be what you purchased?

Thanks Andy

Hi Mark. It was the cheap n cheerful Vgate iCar Pro BLE 4.0 but I'll give yours a try.

Thanks

If interested, here are the changes I've made on my M40i with Bimmercode...

RAM Active sound design - not active
ECU Auto start stop function memory - active
Hu Warning at startup - not active
Hu Camera warning - not active
ACSM Initial seat belt reminder - not active

For my second attempt I used a TONWON vLinker BM WiFi OBD Scanner which cost me £45.99 from Amazon and it was easy to set up and worked perfectly and I now have a quiet car without that awful artificial exhaust sound
