Sigh.. Will not be able to make it out this time around. I'll be on the lookout for the next session if you guys end up planning one. Thanks for coordinating all this!

Nothing significant. The only thing recent is a discussion on changing the ambient lighting level beyond the current limits.

Still nothing on getting the sports display working on non-nav cars and no progress on HUD turn signals.

Joshhleee · 12-09-2012, 04:54 PM

successful coding! thanks frogman!

Wanted to go

but i love sleep.

thanks for all your time today! really appreciate it!

Traderdan · 12-10-2012, 01:48 PM

Thanks for trying... I have to take it in for service and hopefully it will be fixed for the next session. It was great meeting everyone.

Yeah, that was disappointing. I was able to code 5 other cars that morning with the same equipment without any issues.

I asked around about your problem and no one had seen that before. The consensus is that the OBD-II port or the wiring to the ECU is bad.

Ask the dealer to program ASS memory and they *should* run into the same issue and fix it.

Good Luck!

Nice to meet everyone too. Hope you had fun at your clippers game! Unfortunately... the Lakers lost

lukster · 12-10-2012, 06:40 PM

great to meet everyone. at least we can put names and faces together. oh yeah, i just realized that my pass side mirror does not go down when shifting on reverse. i wonder if it is a feature that was never added in or can be coded. maybe next time.

Check your mirror select switch, it needs to be moved to the driver's side position for the passenger mirror to tilt down when reverse is selected.

It's in the manual. No coding necessary for this one!

lukster · 12-10-2012, 07:04 PM

hey frogman,

yes my selector is actually moved to the driver's side and it doesn't work. i have a '13 x3 25i with m-sport and it works there. with my f30, it doesn't. Really strange. However, my f30 does not have any options whatsoever. Probably it had to come with the folding mirrors for the f30?

Humm, I thought it was a standard feature.

Did it ever work on your F30?

Have you tried moving the switch between driver and passenger a few times and then leave it on the driver position?

Can you adjust the mirrors?

I'd ask the dealer next time you are there to see if it's supposed to work on your car or not.

lukster · 12-10-2012, 07:53 PM

that's the thing. it never dawned on my because a few days after i got the car, i sent it back to them to have the ASS disabled and they kept it for a week waiting for approval or something. maybe i will ask them as i need to have them work on something else. yes, the mirrors work. i just have to manually bring it down so i can see the curb. i'll still see you guys next time. i also realized i can probably have tpms pressure enabled. i dont know if we can bring the windows up and down using the remote on my particular car. sucks that a honda accord does that coming straight from the factory.

I think you should try what frogman said if you haven't done it yet.
It's the switch that switches between driver and passenger side mirrors. you have the move the switch to the passenger side for it to work. I had a Honda before too and the switch always needs to stay on the passenger side in order to have the mirrors go down when in reverse

lukster · 12-11-2012, 04:40 PM

yeah did that already. but it's always good to check again just to make sure. i will be taking it in for some unrelated issue anyway so i will ask the SA about it.

Frogman · 12-11-2012, 07:38 PM

Hey TreDirtyFive!

I saw the Profile message you sent me, but I can't send forum messages until later this month.

Send me e-mail here: frogmanf30@gmail.com if you want to code your car.

Any idea if coding is possible to enable the extended/enhanced bluetooth features on my particular F30? I have bluetooth calls but no way to stream pandora/audio over BT from my phone to the car. last 7 VIN f433839.

Thanks!

Hey guys, I'm able to stream Pandora from my Galaxy S3, I just went to:
- Telephone
- Select Bluetooth (phone)
- Press Option
- Configure Bluetooth
- Mark Bluetooth audio

Done.

You have the enhanced Bluetooth package though don't you?
I think he's trying to enable Bluetooth audio streaming via NO extended Bluetooth package.

Trientrie · 12-13-2012, 12:31 PM

How can I check that, I didn't ask for it, that's for sure.

Enhanced BT only comes with BMW Assist in the US.

Did you order that?

Look on your ceiling by the garage buttons... Have a button there for "assist"?

Trientrie · 12-13-2012, 01:12 PM

Don't have garage buttons but I have the assist button, not enrolled but is there. Mine was previously a loaner vehicle.
