What canDO+ Does
canDO+ converts supported OEM buttons into intelligent programmable controls. Each supported button can perform multiple functions depending on the gesture used.
- Touch gesture
- Standard press gesture
- Long press gesture
Every gesture can trigger multiple actions simultaneously, allowing the vehicle to instantly switch between personalized configurations.
The system applies settings dynamically during runtime, giving the vehicle a factory-configured feel while remaining completely removable.
OEM Button Macros
Turn supported iDrive and OEM buttons into fully customizable macros. Each gesture can activate a different group of functions based on your preferences.
Examples include:
- Drive mode changes
- Steering adjustments
- Chassis settings
- M display activation
- Lighting configuration
- Exhaust valve control (with compatible canDO Valve Controller)
Stack Multiple Actions
A single button gesture can execute multiple commands at the same time.
For example:
- Enable Sport settings
- Activate DSC MDM
- Change interior lighting color
- Open exhaust valves
- Adjust M display settings
All triggered instantly from one OEM button action.
Automatic Startup Preferences
canDO+ automatically applies your saved preferences every time the vehicle starts.
This eliminates repetitive manual adjustments and ensures the vehicle always loads your preferred driving configuration automatically.
