Folding Mirrors

Superdaws · 01-07-2012, 07:41 PM

Is there a way to get the folding mirrors to fold in on lock and re-open on unlock without coding changes? Im not missing and idrive setting or something?

Much invloved with recoding this stuff? Ive had a search and found fairly limited stuff.

Good question. Although I hardly use this function. In fact, today was the first time I used whilst parked at Potts Point for brekkie.

mmm, i dont have them on my 135 but the X5 does and am very keen to have them fold in on vehicle lock given its such a wide vehicle.

BMW used to have this function just like the current benz and Lexus , but they all of sudden cancelled it.

I have searched for the net for solution but unfortunately there is nothing u can do unless you purchase a kit from a US company which will offer this function, but it cost more than $300.

Other than that, we can't DIY to enable this features.

Yeah ok, i thought DIY might be a bit beyond, but you can derfinitely have it coded to do as such + alot of other things, might just have to go down that path. Maybe SouthernBM can do it at the next service...

As far as I know, there is no option for auto fold mirror in the coding, (if u check out the latest 7 series, they haven't got the auto folding mirror too), so they can't activate it. But this is on the US side, not 100% sure for Australian model.

Theres definitely coding available for the mirrors, and even the sunroof and windows...

Just wanted to add to this thread. Successfully coded my 2010 E70 X5 today. Mirrors now fold in and out with lock/unlock. Remote trunk now closes as well as opens and removed all the disclaimers from iDrive. Just how i wanted it now!

Took a fair bit of reading and frigging around to get all the programs and cables working, but was worth it.

Wow, I'd pay for just the above!

Eddie135 · 01-30-2012, 06:14 AM

BMW Dealership quoted me $650 to have the side mirrors fold in & out when you lock or unlock your car.

Damn expensive, total rip-off.

RaihaX · 01-30-2012, 06:17 AM

wtf $650 for that!

I would love to get rid of the annoying idrive nag screen. How difficult was it/ what equipment did you use? I'm also in Melbourne...

luster · 01-30-2012, 08:56 AM

Its definately do-able.

Takes about 5 minutes with the correct software and cable setup.

It was one of the first mods I did to my BMWs

ippykaye · 01-30-2012, 06:42 PM

Can we have electronic speedo coded onto our dash clusters like the E9X M3? That's one thing I miss that I've got in my other cars.

Folding mirrors on lock would be a neat feature too!

Who can do this in Sydney?

Edit: Duh! Luster, i just noticed you offer coding services in Sydney! What else can be done?

I havent tried on the 135i yet, but im pretty sure the digital speed ont he cluster is possible. Works on the E70 as well.

I want someone to code away the iDrive warning... Does anyone in Brisbane do this stuff?

x5mad · 01-31-2012, 05:15 AM

Investment in a $100 approx cable from eBay, free software and plenty of time and you should be able to do various coding yourself.

As mentioned www.************** is a good place to start.

Various things include tv/DVD in motion, folding mirrors, idrive disclaimer, digital speed display, speedometer showing accurate speed, warning gongs etc are all possible.

I ordered my cable today so the fun awaits when I have the time to get my head around the software!

Looks like that link is censored... Must be a no-no... probably an agreement between the board admins and BMW...

Can someone link me to the right cable - just so I don't go buying something dodgy?

Harlequin · 01-31-2012, 06:39 AM

Will this do the job?
