Did not realize dealer can code pretty much whatever you want

Nr!qUe · 09-23-2010, 09:48 PM

OK, so someone please make a list.
ask about a possibility of activating the scheduled heat venting without idrive.

arctic330i · 09-24-2010, 07:54 AM

Heat venting? Is that the rest button?

kaishang · 09-24-2010, 08:21 AM

Digital speed? On the OBC display? You can do this?

Will, do. Very excited to "hopefully" get all of these done tomorrow.

arctic330i · 09-24-2010, 09:46 AM

Ok here's a list so far, please add to it!

Remove LED errors on rear side markers
Remove errors of fog lights
Code Euro front angel eye side markers to my car( meaning no amber stays on)
Remove the “gong” when you open you door
Remove start up “warning” screen on my i-drive
Add a digital speed to the display on my speedometer
Code windows to open or close with the fob or CA
Code sunroof to open or close with the fob or CA
Code the mirrors to fold or unfold with fob or CA (this is awesome!!!)

HTran · 09-24-2010, 04:18 PM

On Pre-LCI sedans they are not. We also have amber corners that come on when your lights are in use, which hopefully, can be fixed through coding.

arctic330i · 09-27-2010, 01:18 PM

Update:

I went to get all of these done, plus getting my wheels balanced. It turns out that my wheels were bent, so they are currently being fixed.

My car needed a 5 hour update before they can code it, I am now getting it updated/coded this thursday, then I can tell you what they will/will not do

I know the tech has never seen digital speed. He said he probably can not do that.

Thanks for the update.

Neutrino45 · 10-08-2010, 09:31 PM

arctic330i, any update for us?

jaybird124 · 10-09-2010, 11:20 PM

I talked to the shop foreman who said he searched and search through the program to see if the v=speed or other options were 'programmable', but came up empty handed. He said he'd be glad to do it if I could find out how the other shops are doing it.
Any light shed on this Arctic330?

jaybird124 · 10-10-2010, 01:15 PM

bump

arctic330i · 10-10-2010, 06:36 PM

So sorry for my lack up updates, ok heres how it went down

1st visit:

Wheels bent,

he said he could not do digital speed, said he COULD do AE as my DRL, also said my car needed a 5 hour software update before he coded anything...

2nd visit: (had wheels repaired between visits)

Had my wheels balanced, and he went ahead with giving me low-beams as DRL, I wanted the AE, as the guy at the service desk said they could do, guess not...

They did do one of the things I needed, auto locking doors. He could not do anything else apparently, such as more features with the fob, closing windows...

All in all I was thoroughly pissed. Had to get my wheels repaired, and only one thing out of the 5 I wanted could be done. Turns out that whatever the service rep tells you is one thing, always ask to speak to a specialist in the garage.

Sorry to get everyone excited!

Sidemarker lights are required by FMVSS 108. A dealership would be violating Federal law if they deactivated those.

ABerry · 10-10-2010, 10:00 PM

it would be awesome to have mine coded where locking folds the mirrors in automatically and unlocking folds them back out.. I definitely want to get a list, I wish I could hold my lock button and have all my windows rolled up, I find that feature much more useful than holding the unlock to open everything
