## What is Pitfix?

Coding for your BMW, from your phone. Turn Auto Start Stop off for good, unlock Video in Motion, change the welcome lights and pick your ambient colours, with a backup of every change.

Pitfix Coding is a coding app for BMW and MINI cars, from the E series to the latest F, G and U series. Plug in an OBD2 or ENET adapter, and Pitfix reads your car's control units and lists every setting you can change, explained in plain words. Pick what you want, write it to the car and you're done. Changed your mind? Undo it with one tap.

POPULAR CODINGS FOR BMW
- Auto Start Stop off by default, remembered at every start
- Video in Motion, with a guided activation on the iDrive headunit
- Welcome lights and Angel Eyes brightness
- Ambient lighting colours
- Mirrors that fold when you lock the car
- Windows that open when you hold unlock on the key
- Digital speed, sport displays and the start animation
- Seat belt chime, warning messages and lock after pulling away
- And more than 100 other hidden features, sorted by topic

What you can change depends on your car and its factory options. Pitfix only shows the settings your car supports.

SUPPORTED CARS
BMW 1 to 8 Series, X1 to X7, Z4, i3, i4, i8 and iX3, from the E series (E90, E60, E70 and more) to the F, G and U series, MINI R and F models, and the Toyota Supra (A90). Some BMW motorcycles too.

SAFE CODING
- Your original settings are saved the first time you connect
- A new backup is made before every write
- Every write is checked in the car when it finishes
- Restore the original settings or any saved state with one tap
- Export and import your backups, and save the iDrive activation codes

AI CODING ASSISTANT
Not sure what a setting does? Describe what you want in your own words, and the AI Coding Assistant finds the matching settings for your car, explains each one and tells you when your car can't do something, and why. Included in Pro + AI.

FOR EXPERIENCED CODERS
- Search every setting in your car
- Expert mode shows every function and byte of a control unit
- Vehicle information: VIN, type code, paint and upholstery codes, I-level and factory options

WORKS WITH YOUR ADAPTER
Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and ENET adapters and cables, including OBDLink, Vgate iCar, vLinker, Veepeak, MHD and ENET cables. Some adapters can't reach every control unit, and Pitfix shows which ones it can code. No adapter yet? Try the demo car first.

PAY ONCE, NO SUBSCRIPTION
Browsing your car's settings is free. Writing changes needs Pro or Pro + AI, a one-time purchase that works on every car you own. Pro owners can add the AI Coding Assistant later and pay only the difference.

Coding writes to your car's control units. Keep the ignition on and the battery charged while Pitfix writes, and check the rules in your country before you change safety or light settings.
