Thanks Andreo! I forgot about that. I am going to try to code BMW Live today, and will do the sport display at the same time.
I enabled a lot of mdrive settings and they show up on the Idrive system but I am not able to select them. I am guessing the software knows by the VIN that it isn't an M car. There shouldn't be any reason that it wouldn't work on an M car. Actually most of these have been tested on an M5 and it worked fine. Last edited by dsad1; 01-05-2013 at 11:21 AM.. |

For example: "close mirrors windows and roof through fob and comfort access" this feature appears to enabled on my UK 640D GC (its M-sport if that matters). I simply hold down the lock button to initiate it. |

Folding the mirrors using the key fob is even mentioned in one of the quickie guides that came with my (U.S. spec) car. I've tried everything, and it doesn't work. I struggle to find a reason why they'd disable this. I know it isn't a legal thing since just about every MB and Lexus SUV and high-end sedan have this enabled. And you can do it by pushing the button on the door, so I'm lost for a reason other than BMW sustaining severe brain damage...

It can only be enabled via coding, atleast here in the US.

If anyone in London wants coding done for free I am here for a week and brought my cable just in case
But you have to come to me in Earls Court because my car is thousands of miles from here. |

Not sure about how strictly they adhere to the warranty conditions where you are. For me, I had my BMW dealer workshop install the cabling work that came with the 6NR kit from BimmerTech without any issues. I swapped the 6WB cluster on my own. Also did a bunch of coding both by BimmerTech and myself. So far no issues with the vehicle or the warranty. One thing's for sure. You will get more out of your vehicle each time you add a coding if you are into the automation and gadgetry that adorn it. |
