Hey guys ... anyone has an idea of how to code in a way that the steering wheel goes up AND in when turning the car off? For those who have owned previous series or other non-F BMWs know, when you turned the car off, the steering wheel used to go up and IN. Now, it only goes up. I wanted to see if we could try and play around with settings to:
1) make it go in when turning off
2) increase the speed in which the steering moves. painfully slow now, could be a lot quicker.

Thoughts?

 

Can someone who has options 614,615 (Internet + BMW Online) please post their value for the following:

Mine looks like this:

Hi Guys,

I have a F11 530d from December 2011. It has HBA (High Beam Assist) and ACC (active cruise control) but it doesn't have SLI neiter LDW. But it has the KAFAS Camera, so I really hope to get the SLI workgin with coding. I'm waiting for elements to build the cable. As soon as I get the cable done, I'll try to contribute here too..

Hi V1, if you don't mind me asking, are you sure you have KAFAS camera if no SLI or LDW, or is it used by ACC also ?

 

I was going to suggest something similar. Most of the country codes in my car are stored in hex values. I haven't really tried changing them, but I imagine in doing so it could unlock the feature for all of us.

All camera based systems are configured in KAFAS and yes HBA needs camera

 

And ACC do not need camera

 

Did I missing something..


I coded fold mirrors when locking car {FRM | 3020 | ASP_BEIKLAPPEN_BEI_KOMFORTSCHLIESSEN | aktiv} it doesn't work with the key fob, but works with the door ridges... is it one or the other ?..... thx

 

@mjgood: that's funny, I just pmmed some people with that same question. I just didn't think the 5 series would have this problem, just the F30.

My feeling is that there must be another setting or function in the code that makes this work for the keyfob.


@mobileum: do you, by any chance, know what is needed for ACC (hardware related)? I seriously want this option but it was not available when I bought my car.. they do have it for the upcoming MY13 F30 but since the price tag is $2400, I think there's some special hardware needed for it.

I wanted to add ACC myself, it's a radar unit that mounts in the grill... I stopped thinking about it when I saw the price of the parts....

***EDIT*** oops, I was thinking about the night vision....

I'm pretty sure it's used by ACC because ACC need to know if the cars in fornt of yours are driving in the same lane or not even in curves.

And I also checked my car this morning and it has this particular camera behind the interior mirror: http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts.do?model=MW91&mospid=53267&btnr=66_0171&hg=66&fg=05&hl=3

Also HBA seems to have settings related to KAFAS if I remeber well (could be wrong).

Interesting, I have seen 2 F10's with 2 different windshield cameras.

One which is in the base of the rear-view mirror, with some distance from the windshield window, and one which is part of the mirror support but attached to the windshield window itself.

I think the 2nd is KAFAS that you linked to in realoem and that HBA is using a different one. You can see also that in the link you sent, there is no mention of anything other then LDW or SLI.

Can owners with SLI or LDW post a picture of their camera from the outside?

Re ACC, I think it uses radar & not depends on visual but I could be wrong.

 

MJ Do you also have to press the ridges twice to close the mirrors?

 

Just went out to garage check, a single long press locks the car and folds mirrors...

a normal press just locks the car as usual, if I press a second time then the mirrors fold.

 

I think here is the answer...

http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts.do?model=FR91&mospid=52155&btnr=51_7914&hg=51&fg=40

When you have only HBA, the camera is part of the mirror, and in case of SLI/LDW its a standard mirror, and the KAFAS camera comes separately to support those features...

 

Aww that's too bad regarding the ACC.. I was hoping it would be either PDC or the camera for example. I just checked in my manual to see how the collision warning in my car works (was hoping for a similar way) but it seems to be through the camera:

If the vehicle does not include Active Cruise Control with Stop & Go, the collision warning is controlled via the camera in the base of the interior rearview mirror.

I guess no ACC for me :'(

Svache,

You need the radar for ACC if i am not wrong..

Dont want to discourage you but from the retrofits i have seen here the cost will easily above 3 or 4K (retrofit price is at least 1.5 to 2 times the factory just parts )if not count me in for the retrofit.

EDIT: I was quoting about ACC

I thought you just need these two for ACC on our F10 to retrofit http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts.do?model=FR93&mospid=52157&btnr=65_2132&hg=65&fg=05 & http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts.do?model=FR93&mospid=52157&btnr=61_2389&hg=61&fg=35 and the KaFAS camera is only used for Lane departure warning or SPEED LIMIT INFO. http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts.do?model=FR93&mospid=52157&btnr=66_0171&hg=66&fg=05 So if you have LDW you should be able to get Speed limit info by coding?

 

@mjgood & dreamcar: I guess I have to check and test on my car again, so far I thought it only worked as long as I pressed twice on the handles. One time to lock, and another time (holding it for a sec, maybe 2) to fold the mirror's.. so far I think I must've looked like an idiot doing it like this xD

Hopefully I can find a way that the mirrors will always automatically close when the car gets locked (they way it should be imho).


Just out of curiousity, what was the approx. cost for night vision? (and it's not the radar you needed for acc, is it? lol getting confused haha)

Can't remember exactly, I think the night vision camera was around $2000 US....

 

@Dreamcar: yeah retrofitting doesn't really seem beneficial to do. Sure, they are cool gadgets to have but I don't really need it of course

@mjgood: Thanks, that's indeed pretty costly.


Btw, I checked my mirror folding thing.. and while I'm sure it never worked by pressing only once on the handles, today it did lol.. so yeah, I only have to press once on the handles, just like mjgood

 

What about from key fob?

 

@dreamcar: the keyfob still doesn't work, there must be a different setting for it, just like I had to enable a setting to close the mirrors

 

Probably a dumb question but are you holding the lock button down for at least 5 seconds?

Also, the reason they don't automatically fold on the first touch is some climates can have a freezing rain or ice build up that would prevent the mirrors from folding consequently they would break when you tried to lock the car. Having the delay allows an owner to lock the car without fear of damanging the mirrors.

 

Anyone doing this in the San Antonio area?

 

@kman_bmw;
If not, its only 3.5 hours to H-Town.

 

A sad evening indeed! I removed my JB3 and took 5AC and 8TH out of my VO in preparation for the trip to the dealer for the global update a week Monday. The fun must be shelved for the next 10 days so guys, carry on I'll be lurking as much as I can.

 

I took my car this morning to get the Global update. I told them that when slowing down then go to accelerate their is a delay/hesitation. Also sitting at a stop there's rough idle and it happens intermittently, also idles rough when you first start it.

They said they could not duplicate it and they checked the DME faults and none was stored. They took it on a road test and the test was ok!

What do we have to tell them to get this Global update? They also said that the SIB does not pertain to my car! :thumbdwn:

 

Unless something is broken, or can be duplicated, it's very hard to get a software update... I was told the dealer won't get compensation from BMW unless they can show a real problem...

sadly, but like most companies, BMW is run by the accountants...

 

@cn555ic;
The F30 has two codes, one for fold on lock, and a second one for unfold on unlock, but unfortunately it is working only for CA and not his Fob:

ASP_BEIKLAPPEN_BEI_KOMFORTSCHLIESSEN
ASP_AUSKLAPPEN_NACH_KOMFORTSCHLIESSEN

With the F10, its one code for both fold and unfold, and it works for both CA and the Fob.

 

That is quite strange that it doesnt work. I am puzzled as this function has worked for all E90s in the past that I have coded to date. I wonder what has changed?
