I've just seen reference to this on the classifieds. Is it an option in the computer settings? Didn't know I could do this, tell me how please.

On my previous 2006 E90 330i, with powered mirrors, they folded if you held the lock button on the fob.

Then they opened when you unlocked the car - very cool.

But my 2009 E91 didn't, there's some stuff on here, but it seems that function went AWOL around 2007 ish.

Something about safety grounds? trapping kiddies fingers or something daft?

I'm pretty sure it can be coded to fold with the fob by a specialist or someone with the correct cable and ability to code.

I was thinking maybe it was stopped to prolong the life of the motors in the mirrors.

[doughboy]

Maybe, but I just do it manually now every time i leave the car I press the fold button on the armrest.

It's a coding "option" and then long press lock button to enable. Either someone here who can do coding, or wait till you have a complaint with BMW and get them to do it as goodwill..otherwise LLC they will charge you 50 quid

never take my car to bmw, is this something an indy can do with the right software?

[BanziBarn]

I heard the feature was removed to reduce warranty claims for broken motors.

Wish I had folding mirrors though

Its not a 'user' option that BMW can do on their dealer machines, it just not there anymore.

It can be hacked by other means apparently, but not by BMW or an indy Autologic type machine.

That's a shame, I'd love my mirrors to do that!

[Hotcoupe]

A good independent with Autologic can do the coding for autofold from fob.

[doughboy]

Ooops, my bad Ian.

I had asked my indy a while back and he'd said it wasn't possible, but if it is I need to try elsewhere!

[crypticc]

Sorry but I disagree. Had mine Done at same time add having rear bumper replace after someone rear ended me. Exhaust took so long (four attempts) they enabled as good Erroll.

[crypticc]

Good will I meant

It's easy to change using NCSExpert. It's off by default. Located in the NFRM module.

Fold Mirror FRM (NFRM) ASP_KOMFORT_EINKLAPP Folds side mirrors with FOB and CA
Fold Mirror FRM (NFRM) SPIEGEL_KOMFORT_EINKLAPP Folds side mirrors with FOB (CA also works 2009/01 E92)

The delay is set at 1.5 seconds of holding the lock button, by default.
I set mine to "instant" or 0.0 seconds. Open the NETTODAT.TRC file and find the following line:
B 00300200,0010,2C,00,10,7F,00,00,05,3C,05,23,33,19,0F,05,1E,14

Change the value to 05 for 0.5 seconds, or 00 for 0.0 seconds.

Then save the file as NETTODAT.MAN and write it back to the ECU.

If you use NCSExpert or NCS Dummy to change basic values after coding this, it will revert to it's original off state and will need to be recoded.

To keep the value once it's coded and you need to code additional features, you can only work directly with the NETTODAT file from now on. Or do the basic coding and recode this feature in NETTODAT.

Hope that helps.

I used Carly to code mine, real simple to do

[IllSic_Design]

I too had mine coded in, can't remember if I used Carly or when I had Alex at Alpine code my car. Either way mine is a 2009 with comfort access and use the folding feature every day, especially at work. Long hold of lock button to fold them shut and auto open when I unlock the car.

Me too.

Cheaper to buy Carly and a bluetooth adapter (assuming android) than to pay somebody to code it for you. Carly for Apple is a bit more expensive for the adapter I guess., but still worth it.

Sorry to bring an old post up but im trying to do this and im at the point that says

ECU Short FRM
CBD Name FRMFA.C09
CABD Name A_PL2FRX.IPO
SGBD Name FRM_87.PRG

What do i do now?

Thanks
