Climate sync

Smee · 08-20-2016, 08:25 AM

Ok had my bmw 24 hours and I love it. But I have 1 niggle and that is climate control. I can't work out how to sync both the driver and passenger side temp. Every car I been in you can sync and control both from drivers side.

Any idea?

Oddly, BMW doesn't believe in it.

evdok · 08-20-2016, 08:34 AM

Unless you have the button for it its not doable.

BMW do use the All or Sync function, but dropped the feature from the F3x models. E9x LCI models did have the function, as do current ranges like the 5-series.

Why did BMW drop the feature from the 3-series? No idea.

Cheers. Is it not something we can code?

Don't think so, other users may know of an answer. BMW's Climate Control with the function have a dedicated All/Sync button on the panel.

It's nearly worn my fingers down to a nub, not to mention the controls themselves, but I manually rotate the temp knobs so that the numbers on the screen match. It's a terrible inconvenience, but I've managed to survive thus far.

Funny that my courtesy car X1 has this as well.

I think it's funny that the early E9x had a residual heat button but no sync. People complained that there was no sync so they replaced REST with sync. Now we have neither. Not a big deal to me though, I miss residual heat more though.

The "in sync" button is gone from the current 3 Series, Many previous BMWs did have this button. I asked my sales guy "why", and he claims it's due to now having the ability to individually set the air flow patterns to each of the front seats (which is a new feature). Not enough buttons apparently.
I also manually reset each side to the same reading, and it is only a slight inconvenience. Another first world problem to complain about..........

WOW, poor American drivers, we have to roll two nubs...
Not sure why even change it - I had it set to 72 April through November, and 74 rest of the year.

Mine is set to 68 when the A/C isn't needed, and 72 during the warmer months. And sometimes my wife decides she wants it a little warmer or cooler, so she can change her side without disturbing mine.

Never thought about it, but now I want it, haha.
