My Ride: 2007 Black Sapphire 535i
Default

I made an Exciting discovery tonight that I would like to share with you guys. I recently swapped my Lexani wheels out for my OEM tires so that I could get my Lexani's powder-coated in black. Once I did this I got the pesky Flat Tire error TPMS message in iDrive. When I tried to reset the error I would always be faced with a menu screen with the "Reset" option greyed out meaning that the option was disabled. I drove around with the damn error for weeks until I re-installed my Lexani wheels this week and was determined to get the error cleared.

After trying everything else and since I am using an E90 CIC TRC file to program my CIC I wondered if this option was disabled in the original file by default and was something I had to enable. After searching the file repeatedly and trying different coding options for a few hours, I found the culprit!!

Within the CIC TRC file these two lines of code are enabled and need to be disabled:

Code:
RDC
aktiv -> Change to nicht_aktiv

RDC SAFETY
aktiv -> Change to nicht_aktiv
Once these lines are disabled, the "RESET" option within the Flat Tire iDrive menu screen was re-enabled and I was successfully able to reset the sensor, hence clearing the error. Happy Day!! Hopefully this will serve to help others.

Cheers!

i'm not sure about other countries , but all BMW cars in our country doesn't have TPM sensors inside the wheels ,,,

the car uses the ABS/DCS wheel sensor to measure the rotating speed of each tire , if one tire rotates faster or slower than what is supposed to be ,, tire pressure error pops up on the screen ..

I've upgraded to bigger wheels several time ,,all I did after the upgrade it set it up again like what is shows in your screen above ,, and you are good to go ..

Same at this end Ehssan.
The only problem was that since I upgraded my CIC with the E90 file, my option to reset the tire error was disabled. Changing the code above gave me the ability to actually use the reset functionality.

Can I code my car alarm volume higher? I know there's such option in E90, but for E60?

It's in DWAS module:

BUZZER_HIGH_LEVEL
wert_06
wert_07
wert_08

But some say highest volume is achieved by leaving wert_01 only, others say wert_08 only or even a combination like this
wert_04
wert_05
wert_08

So does anybody know the correct parameter for the highest possible sirene volume?

There is even a parameter BUZZER_LOW_LEVEL with the same possibilities...very confusing, for me at least.

Any one answered this question?.. i just noticed that myself tonight.
