Software Customization/ Coding?

[Kurzgesagt]

Hello all,

Just curious if there is a way to code the MCUs on Model Xs? Dumb question probably, but just ported over from BMW and there was a phone application called BimmerCode that connected to the vehicle's MCUs via a Bluetooth OBD2 connector to code a myriad of options such as rolling the windows up/ down with the key fob, adjusting turn-indicator blinks per click, front and rear DRLs brightness, etc... the customization options were endless. Just curious if software similar to BimmerCode exists for Teslas?

Thanks in advance,

V/r

Pretty sure not...
Came from BMW as well n do miss all the little things i could edit, esp the video in motion

I do miss that as well! I'm surprised that something like BimmerCode doesn't exist for Tesla,

Also coming from BMW and did some coding too.
From what I can see, you can do a lot with this car already.
I mean, you can get into the service menu, do lots of things i've seen online.

What do you want to code?

I would really like to have the option to open the doors with the key fob and to roll up/ down the windows with the key fob. It would also be nice to turn off the seat belt chime as my dogs keep activating the seatbelt warning.

Also, I just had a loaner 2019/20 Model X and I didn't realize how awesome and useful the automatic driver-door opening feature would be. I don't see how any of these features couldn't be programmable since literally, the light show does pretty much all of this.

Not that I'm really complaining it would just be nice to have some of those features for specific situations.

Service mode only does diagnostic stuff as far as i know...

Once my X comes in, I will be playing with it to see how much I can change.

Nothing. Only diagnostic stuff as mentioned.

Well, you can apparently install Homelink software now through the service mode once you have the module installed, but that’s only applicable for 3/Y.

Homelink stuff? You mean like for the garage? Is that not a standard thing - I have it set up for my garage doors.

Yeah, there's no customizing the software. There are third-party apps that have reverse engineered the API though, so you probably *could* do things like open your doors with a remote... but the phone app essentially already is that remote.

It is standard on S and X. Optional for 3 & Y. Homelink is a third party company that provides the tech to Tesla and any other vendors.

Ooo gotcha - thanks for the clarification.
