Best Practice - Profile with 2 Driver...
Hi All,
Just pick up our 2013 X3 35i with "Comfort Access" last week. We share the car regularly and we both marked our own key with unique color. I am looking for the best practice how to ensure the X3 load the correct profile (seat setting, radio...etc) We usually do not lock our car when parked in the garage. Assume the car was not locked.... if I am the last driver and turn off the car. When my wife enter the car with her key, will the X3 call up her profile ? if not, how can she call up her profile... without touch the idrive and through those screens ? |

You need to lock the car for the key to then pass the profile change over when the car is open. So no you cannot do it without using the profile screen option if you do not lock the car.

Note that for the profile change to take effect when she presses "unlock", the ignition must be off; but the car does NOT have to be locked. Last edited by Anfänger; 08-22-2012 at 07:10 AM.. Reason: added the final sentence, for clarity |

You don't need to lock the car to switch the profile using a key. Just switch the ignition off (if it's on) and then press unlock on the key cotaining the profile you want to switch to

I only discovered this one by accident after a month or two of getting out and locking and unlocking the car when we wanted to switch drivers or if the non-driver had unlocked the car (we need to be on the right profile as we have electric seats and mrs sfax, well she isn't 6'3"! )
