F30 - Folding Mirrors & Take Me Home Lights
Hi All,
I have an F30 specced with folding mirrors - when I drove a demo car, the mirrors folded & unfolded when opening and locking the car using the remote.. I can not figure out how to do it.... Secondly, I don't have the visibility pack but that shouldn't have an effect (have xenons anyway) how do I operate the Take Me Home lights... On the E46 & E93 was pretty simple, you just flashed your lights... On the F30? Thank you |

Relating this back to the old "turn the key in ignition" days, the first push of the button stops the engine and moves the "key" into accessory mode. The second push moves the key into the "off" position from where you could withdraw it. HTH |

Have you set the follow me home function in Idrive? I seem to recall it's under settings>lights.
The car is switched off in two stages. Press the start stop button once and it turns off the engine. Press it again and it turns off the car's electrics. It's akin to having the 2/3 stages on an old ignition barrel with the first stage allowing you to run the car's electrics without the ignition being primed or the engine running. |

Haha! Thank you all, the lights issue has been fixed! Guess I was switching off the engine with one press not two.. Just tried it with two presses and the home lights are on!
Just tried the mirrors with holding the key button down for 2 seconds and that has worked too! Thank you all! Love this forum! |

Through coding you can change the delay to either zero so that the mirrors fold immediately or to 0.2 seconds so anything but the briefest press folds the mirrors.

Its quite annoying actually having to keep holding the button to fold them.. And if you fold them manually, they won't open with the remote! Mercs ( He who must not be named ) for years have had the set up of mirrors folding/unfolding with one press of a button. Perhaps one day bmw will catch up.. |
