How to Permanently Disable Start & Stop on Our BMW 330i Using the Bimmercode App

Model: BMW Serie 3 F30, F31 - Years 2012-2019
Part: Onboard computer

In this video, you can see how to permanently disable Start & Stop on our BMW 330i using the Bimmercode app and our OBD2 adapter: you need to have the Bimmercode app on your smartphone. Purchase the full version (about $85) and an OBD2 adapter, which you will connect to the port under the dashboard on the driver's side. Go to the module by typing "BDC" OR "DME" for older models; search for the option "Automatic Engine Start/Stop function": set it to "disabled" and then "store last state". Apply the changes by selecting "code" in the upper right corner. To confirm, restart the car and check that the Start & Stop button remains off, without the yellow icon on the dashboard. This modification is valid for all BMWs with Start & Stop from Series 1 to X7 from 2010 onwards. On some very recent models, it may also be necessary to adjust the DSC module.

To bleed the clutch on a Renault Clio, open the bonnet to access the components located in the engine bay: here, you will need to undo the screws that secure the battery in its housing, the intake manifold, and the coolant reservoir. This will allow you to locate the pipe through which the brake fluid flows: by inserting the other end of the pipe into a container, you can press the clutch pedal to expel all the fluid until it fills the container.
