Fold/open mirrors and close windows with FOB
I have a 2nd gen X3 F25, it does not have comfort access
Am I able to code the following with BimmerCode and a vgate - fold mirrors and close windows from FOB (holding lock) - open /unfold mirrors by holding unlock from FOB (holding unlock currently only opens all windows) If someone could please point me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated Thank you in advance for any replies |

I believe you can, and it would probably be in the BDC_BODY ECU. They just won’t close with comfort access (AKA door handle) since you don’t have it.
Are you asking because you already have the VGate and BimmerCode, or because you’re on the fence about getting them? If it’s the latter, I’d suggest getting them regardless of whether or not you could do this. So many other cool things to unlock. |

Yes it will work with Bimmer Code. I have comfort access and you can code so that you can use comfort access to fold mirrors and operate windows.

Alright so here is todays run down
First off, I believe I may have purchased the wrong vgate The one I bought was this (the "mini" version) although, i was still able to connect to my car and read the ECUs from bimmercode : https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1 And I believe I needed this one instead : https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...A3F2UU8IZ3AFBC All in all, it seemed like a pretty big let down. The ONLY code I could get to work was to close the rear gate from my fob, and the fogs to turn on from welcome unlock, while nothing else worked. Here is an image of my ECUs According to the bimmercode website, I beleived I would have access to the following : Air conditioning, Alarm system, Ambient lighting, Angel eyes, Audio, Comfort opening/closing, Daytime driving lights, Display options instrument cluster, Display options multimedia system, Driving Dynamics Mode, Fuel, HUD, Indicators, Lighting, Mirrors, Other, PDC, Range, extender, Rear view camera, Seat heating, Seatbelt reminder, Side view camera, Sport displays, Start Stop function, Tailgate, Video, Wash-Wipe System, Welcome Light Windows/Doors After just trying to add the "digital speed in board computer" on the instrument cluster, and applying the code, I get a "Instrument panel malfunction" error on the car display and instrument cluster I tried a few more codes after that, such as "Instrument cluster start logo" and they all give me the same errors - 'instrument panel malfunction' I used the bimmerlink app to clear all errors, and basically revert back to the original settings. I'm not looking to do much technical coding, just a few things here and there such as : - Close mirros from FOB (yes I have the mirror button close on my inside driver door panel, NO my car does not have comfort access) - Open Mirrors from FOB - Digital speed gauge on instrument cluster - M Start up animation - DVD / TV while driving - Turn fogs on from welcome unlock - Disable auto start / off Another thing I noticed, was that my temperature gauge was out of the roof! Showing 122 degrees F QUICK EDIT - regarding the temperature gauge, everything is back to normal now so disregard the photo. I apologize for the very long reply, and I am new to coding, but just to code a few basic things. If ANYONE can please help or point me in the right direction I would greatly appreciate it. At this point, I may just try to find someone local to help me and the pay them. (I'm in Tucson AZ btw, if anyone here knows someone or can be of assistance) Do I need to go to BMW to get a firmware or computer update? I'm not really sure at this point. If there is another place I should post this or another forum please let me know Thank you to anyone who read this entire reply, as I know it was a mouth full lol Replies are greatly appreciated, and thank you in advance to any responses.

updates
Got the mirrors to open and close on keyfob (had to use the export mode and adjust some values) I believe the M start up animation is working as well For a minute here, my head unit and navigation control wheel / menu buttons, etc didn't work and that had me worried. after a hard shut down and waiting for 10 minutes I started up and everything was functioning fine. cleared all errors with bimmerlink still working on the digital speedometer on dash, and DVD / TV in motion Question - What exactly does deactivating the disclaimers do? What benefits will this give me? Thanks all for the info, Regards |

Disabling the disclaimers just prevents that screen warning you about Idrive use while driving and you have to hit confirm from coming up. This also, in my findings, causes the M start up animation to come up more often.
I'd recommend doing it. Quote:

Folding mirror durability
I've been told by a few service advisors at my dealership; that the gears in the mirrors are plastic and not made to stand up to constant folding and unfolding with every lock and unlock. Has anyone coded the folding mirrors and had a problem with the gears stripping in the mirrors? Or any problems in general?

I have the comfort access and powerfold mirrors option on my X3 and never had any problems, one useful thing to note though is not to fold them in when a frost is possible as when you unlock the mirrors will try and force themselves open and could damage the mechanism.

I set mine to follow comfort close with the windows then set the comfort close delay of 1.5s.. so the button would have to be held down. I explained the sequence to my wife so she is aware of the option to not fold the mirrors (ie., when the car will be exposed to snow or ice accumulation in the winter)
I don't believe there's a delay option when opening. |

BimmerCoding issue
Hi Loudxpack, I suggest you go through the BimmerCode app to get your bluetooth OBD11. In the app in menu there is a purchase adapter option were they list all compatible OBD11 readers. You are not buying from BimmerCode it is just a few options. When you find this at the very bottom of the page it says that Vgate icar Pro, Vgate icar 2 and vgate icar 3 are no longer recommended. I believe that is why nothing is working for you. I bought the OBDLink MX+ Bluetooth and I went through the app and bought it on amazon. I have recorded most of the things you have tried with no issue at all.
I hope this was helpful and good luck |
