phrenetiK · 08-21-2012, 10:49 AM

........does your car even have a physical button for mirror folding already?

bazil769 · 09-12-2012, 03:31 PM

hey guys can anyone can help me code my key so i can have the remote roof closing enabled...just got my 09 128i convert with the sports package, if any one can help please send me an email at bazil769@gmail.com. I don't think i have the comfort access package i just know that its premium also.

JimD · 09-12-2012, 08:51 PM

I don't think anybody has figured out how to put the roof up with the key fob in a e88. Down, there are a couple changes and you have it. I used mine three times today.

Jim

bazil769 · 09-13-2012, 09:56 AM

When you say changes what do you mean Jim? Is it the fact that i can put my top down while driving?

JimD · 09-13-2012, 10:10 AM

I can put my top down while walking up to my car. As I come across the parking lot, I hold the door open button on the remote and the car rolls its windows down and lowers the top. The top is then down and the car ready to go when I get to it. It works best if the car is parked away from other cars - in a tight parking lot the range of the key fob is dimished and the car might not be done when I get to it.

I can put the top up with the button on the dash or with the key in the door. The buttons on the dash work while driving (slowly).

Jim

bazil769 · 09-14-2012, 09:21 AM

OK Thanks Jim, Its then obvious that your car came with the comfort access package. If you find any information on how to achieve this on the E88 without the package already installed please let me know. Thanks for the help buddy.

JimD · 09-14-2012, 10:14 AM

bazil769,

No I do not have comfort access. If you have a cable (one stop electronics cable recommended) and NCSexpert software, you can go in and make two software changes and your top will go down with the key fob.

In software module CAS you change KOMFORTOEFFUNG_FB to activ and in CVM you change KOMFORT_BEDIENUNG_E88_C05 to wert_02. Those two changes should get the top going down but I also changed SCHEIBEN_FUNK_E88_C05 to wert02 so that the windows would go down all the way before the top went down and I changed SCHEIBEN_TASTER_E88_C05 to wert02 so the windows will go back up when I hold the top closing button inside the car for a few extra seconds. All these changes are in CVM except for the first one.

It's a fairly straightforward but not at all intuitive process to make these changes. The software is available at a link earlier on this thread. I paid about $100 for the cable.

I think it's worth $100 to me to get the top to go down this way but the obvious payback is when you need a new battery. The same cable and slightly different software will let you do the coding for a battery replacement which seems to save over $100. There are other worthwhile changes you can make through coding, of course. I've set it so the doors unlock automatically when I pull the key, for instance.

Jim

bazil769 · 09-24-2012, 11:17 AM

Thanks Jim i guess i will have to do the research to find out how to get into the software module CAS as i am not familiar with anything that has to do with the coding process in the mean time i will look for the cable if you have any leads on where i could find one used pref it would be greatly appreciated. After i find it if you don't mind i will contact you for step by step instructions on how to get it done. Thank you again for your help.

JimD · 09-24-2012, 12:24 PM

This is the cable I use:

http://www.one-stop-electronics.com/...&product_id=16

The software I downloaded from a link earlier in this thread. It includes a step by step tutorial. I still use the tutorial, starting from step 50, when I code.

Jim

bazil769 · 09-27-2012, 07:38 AM

Thanks. What do you think of this?

I got my E82 128i 6MT end of June 2012....On the site it mentions models up to 2010. Will this cable be compatible and able to code with 2012? I would also like to code my parent's 2008 128i cabriolet

JimD · 09-30-2012, 08:57 PM

I'm pretty sure it will. I may code a friends 2013 soon. If I do, I will use this cable and will be sure and post if I have any trouble. But I really doubt I will.

Jim

Well i'm sick of trying to find somebody locally that can code out my ambers and turn on my angel eyes as DRL(depo's) and i'm looking to do it myself. The trouble is i cant find any of the programs necessary to do it. Can anybody help a guy out? Any tips are much appreciated, i've been reading through the thread looking for everything i can.
