Do you know if you have the ability to disable the instrument cluster auto-dimming? There is a light sensor on the left side of the instrument clusters like current G20 BMW’s and during the day with the headlights off the instrument cluster dims.
Not the navigation display, but the instrument...
Did anyone hear back from Defined? They're in the UK so timing is a bit hard. Kyle sent me an e-mail in the past when we tried to do it, but my Supra is over at the new place and I'm in the middle of moving so I can't try and program myself today. Hoping it will work.
I'm not sure. Most of my BMW-owning friends use this as a tender. Not really as a "jump my car off" charger
Edit: Ahhhh. Nvm I see! Guess I wont' be using it! LOL
** Guy in that video says if you have a new battery, and you're just updating one module (i.e., head unit) then you don't need a...
So, there apparently was a new iSTEP version released. However, I’m not sure if I’m brave enough to let a company remotely try to update this. I don’t want to brick my car.
They are installed by the dealer's BMW ISTA software. It's called Toyota ISTA at the dealer, but it is BMW's software for updating and diagnosing vehicles.
My buddy that works at the dealer here in SF is checking with his Supra tech Tuesday (he's out of the office until then) to see if we can...
I believe that's been tried -- and fails. The resolution of the Supra screen is different than all other BMW's.
I've been chatting with a coding company in the UK, Defined Coding, and they are currently awaiting further development to get the full screen.
If BMW/Toyota have released this via...
Anyone have any recommendations for getting my OEM wheels powder coated in the Bay Area? I keep seeing photos of the LE wheels and powder coated wheels and I've decided I must have it!

Still waiting to hear back. The owner of the company is currently in the middle of a house move — not sure if software update requires going to a dealer
Contacted a company in the UK called Defined Coding. They remote code full screen for BMW's and they've given me the software and we tried to code the Supra. It told me that the Supra was incompatible, but they've reached back out and said that I need to update the software in the head unit. So...
Oh yeah! You guys get the extra LED jewel. We don’t have that.
Do the main LED jewels on your headlights swivel left and right? Or only up and down?
Ours only go up and down
I've done this - and this fixes the issue for the navigation display, but does not solve the problem for the instrument cluster. I have tinted windows, and 80-90% of the time the instrument cluster is dim. Shine a light on the left side of the gauge cluster where the light sensor is, and it...
