Standing by on this one.


OK - I tried this and couldn't get the idrive menu to do anything but stay on sensitive. When I first bought the car I asked the service department if they could change the light sensor to a more sensitive setting as the lights took their time to come on at dusk. They did it while I waited which confirms it's connected to the car key memory. Another thing that confirms this is the fact that after my LCI headlight and LM2 retrofit the sensitivity still functions in the same way as before.

Now with regards to the text in red : I figured these need to be added to the VO. It's not an option so you don't use $ - it's a service code so a + must be preceeded before the code. So "+FLCS" I can only assume the FLCN+ is a typo as from what I understand you need a + at the beginning - hopefully someone can confirm this. So the VO would look like this

E60_#0904&LCSW%0475*NB31$1CA$205$216$226$248$255$3 00$302$319$320$403$415$416$430$431$438$441$456$465 $494$502$508$522$524$534$540$548$563$590$609$610$6 20$644$677$698$785$853$863$877$880$915-B110+IPOD+KMP3+MUEB+FLCS

...at the end you see the service codes: Battery 110Ah (don't know why this is preceeded by a - ) then ipod retrofit, mp3 in dash cd, LCI lights retrofit and lastly the light sensitivity element.

In INPA you can create a list with a legend of all options and codes. I found this by luck when I was playing around:

E60AT.000.txt


Anyway, when I tried to add +FLCN (normal) the FA_WRITE coding would error out - sensitive part was OK. At the end I've took the option out and disabled the light rain sensor menu pending further investigation. I'm guessing the values in the LMA are connected somehow as well.
Would look forward if anyone has better luck than me - especially adding the FLCN element in their VO list and ascertaining if the car key memory is connected and how.

Lastly, what's double hazard light ?

 

My test plans for the weekend:

1) Double Hazard Light (I think this is a series of quick double flashes)
2) Rain light sensor stuff
3) Key in ignition gong
4) Sport Auto Transmission retrofit (sans paddle shifters)

Or go to the Chicago auto show!


5) For another member: IPOD retrofit and spec dock

HELP: For the IPOD retrofit, Is the process only what Andy just showed with VO?
1) Change the VO to include +IPOD+KMP3 and recode?

 

What is the codes for the double hazard light ?

regarding Ipod , I did it for a freind the other day ,,added +KMP3 to the VO , recode , then in CCAPL the MP3 was "full" by default ..

 

Just to be clear... you added +IPOD also?

 

I didn't add +IPOD because even in my car i don't have +IPOD and I have the Ipod interface installed and working as it should be ,

 

Andy545 :sounds like the guys who knows the codes for double hazard light have decided not to share it with us

 

Is mp3 and ipod connected ? I had mp3 enabled so my dash CD would play mp3's way before I had ipod retrofitted. Anyway, they could be connected so just add/enable both.
So add

+IPOD+KMP3 in the VO

and make CAPPL

ccc mp3 --> full

 

Lol, no, I just got into my office, not early like you early birds.

I believe I am the first to know what the double hazard light is, at least on the E60 side. A month ago I had contacted a member that knew on E90, but the guy wouldn't tell me.

Anyway, this is in LMA.

BLINKIMPULS_WARNBLK

default value is wert_01, change it to wert_04. 02 doesn't seem to do anything, and 03 will make it blink super rapidly. If anyone else can confirm this, that would be great. I am having trouble verifying on my vehicle due to the error I have stated above. Driving me crazy actually.

 

loool ,, don't forget the time difference between me and you guys ( Dubai is +4 GMT ) .. anyway it's already 9:36PM now so will try it tomorrow morning before work and update you ...

I also read that post on the e90forum but that guy was offering it for some money to the ppl in his city ... so I didn't even bother myself asking him .. but thanks dude for sharing ...

 

UPDATE: I've checked my LMA2 trc file through NCS Dummy , BLINKIMPULS_WARNBLK has only one value " wert_01 " so I'm sure if I change to anything else will get error while coding ,, but I've noticed something in the same file called BLK_TIMER_STAND and it has 2 values wert_01 / 02 ,, not sure if it does any changes ... maybe I will try it tomorrow ..
