I tried and it gets you to a scrolling screen in your trip window and has Reset/Unlock/Test and one other command I can not remember. Just curious what this does when unlocked. its a numeric value with 2 digits for the unlock password. anyone know?

I think the unlock password is the sum of the last 5 digits if your VIN.

I did the same thing all last night and this morning! I just bought a 2013 ActiveHybrid 3 Luxury Line with 5,500 miles on it. The original sticker was just over $61,000 and I bought it for $43,000. I'm so excited to pick it up on Tuesday!

Just a quick question. Do American F30's have power folding mirrors or only manual folding mirrors? My 2013 BMW X1 has power folding mirrors.

Yes, I have power folding mirrors - I still have to push the button to fold them in though....

Do not do this often. Your finger will get very, very tired. It is a dreadful condition.

Even though we park our car in the garage, we still lock it every time we pull in. Locking it shuts down or puts to sleep the computer(s?) for less drain on the battery. Probably not necessary for overnight but for us, it's just a habit now.

We had an 85 year old widow neighbor who had a 2002 7-series she rarely drove. She always complained that almost monthly she had to call service for someone to come charge the battery.

You can still use the idrive and audio when the car is locked. ( providing you have someone in the car )

Locking the car doesnt mean you drain less the battery... what are you guys smoking.
If anything, locking the car drains the battery even more since you force the car to be in active alarm mode....

No matter what the car is always in sleep mode with some power being used...

So dont go thinking locking the car will save anything...

These cars drain the battery whenever the engine is off - no matter what we do.

Are you saying my CA told me an untruth?

True as is in US.
However, it can be coded to work with key fob and comfort access to be auto. And can also be coded to auto unfolding when reaching x mph -

Very cool - just wish I knew of someone locally here in Denver that can do some coding.

I feel the MPG gauge is more useful than a blue bar so I was happy to get rid of that

Sorry if this has already been answered this but how do I make the ECO Pro gauge into an MPG gauge in comfort mode? My car only shows it in Sport mode :/

Not shure if that's an AH issue/feature. My 328i shows l/100km in comfort mode and I don't know how that can be changed without coding...

For those that didn't get bluetooth streaming for music enabled: Got the istream bluetooth adapter for $30 at bestbuy and was able to stream through the car stereo. Sounded all right with not much loss in fidelity. So, finally able to play music with the arm resting on the arm rest! I;m sure amazon has better & probably cheaper solutions but didn't have the patience for ut

As we know for different people they use different kinds of mobile phone signals. Just as the people around you like your friends, your colleagues, your family members and so on, they may use the different mobile phone signals as now there are various mobile phone signals from different companies and of which the frequency bands are also different such as the CDMA, GSM, DCS, PCS, 3G, 4G LTE and 4G Wimax. So in different conditions and circumstances people are in need of the phone jammers that of different frequency bands. But if people are in great need of a phone jammer via which they can decide the jamming frequency bands what kind of device should they choose? Of course, the adjustable phone jammer is the best for them in such condition.

I have a question in regards to the 2013 models with Nav.

can 6NR be retrofitted? If so, is it worth it if i have an Android? how much of the ConnectedDrive functionality is limited to iPhone only as opposed to all smartphones

Looks like spam. Not sure why you would want to use cell phone jammers in your car of all places...That would be a dick move to jam phones, could be very useful in emergencies/GPS, etc.

Although I have my car coded, the auto unfolding of the mirrors should happen at X speed even without coding. With coding, you can alter the speed, but it should still default to around 20 mph I think.

Correct. They do unfold when reaching 10-15mph. Don't have any coding to my car (yet).
