My Ride: 2007 530i, white/black manual, sports package, nav, PDC, etc.
Default

I'm wondering if it's possible hack into the iDrive unit of my 2007 530i to goodies in store. If I could, I'd like to customize some of the menus, perhaps get digital speed and anything else lying under the hood.

Thanks,
Robert

(bump)

I was hoping to hack the iDrive via the control wheel rather than the OBD port.

Thanks.

I've already found out how to get into the custom diagnostic menu that way.

The answer is still no.

Use logic man. If it is possible, you think people wouldn't be doing "hacks" this way instead of buying cables/devices to communicate with the car via OBD?

Or you think the people in that thread I posted above are dummies? Come on now.

No.
