Tonight my " follow me home lights" stopped working. On the Idrive menu its on. On the check control menu its reading "no faults."
Has anyone here expirienced the same ? A software glitch, perhaps ?

what are follow me home lights?

Yeah, what are they?

Where do you live? Please update your profile!

Are they ugly people ??? Desparate ?? :lol: :lol:

think he means the "pathway lights"? the ones you can activate by flicking the headlights nob after you turn off the car, and the headlamps stay on for 30 seconds or whatever you set it for.

When its activated through iDrive pull the high beam flash to pass stalk and your head lights will turn on for the duration you set. And they're called "follow me home lights" here in the US. hahahha I always laughed at that but I like the term.

It's the lights that comes on when you unlock the car. On my Idrive menu BMW calles it " follow me home lights." No answer on this forum on my question...

How this option works? I got it set up at 25sec but it doesn't come on when I unlock the car nor lock it. It doesn't follow me :|

It doesn't come on when you lock the car. You must go in the Idrive menu to set this function active. I've done so on my 2007 modell, but as I say, yesterday it stopped working. My first thought was that the software may need an update. I am bringing my car in to my dealer monday to fix this. I've set my " follow me home lights" for 120sec.

I think the option that the OP is talking about is the Welcome Light feature.

Make sure it is activated in the I-drive menu and then set your lights switch dial to automatic. When you unlock the car the Angel eye rings will come on as well as the rear and interior lights.
