My car is going in for a software update this evening ( mainly to add MP3 & hopefully make my iPhone work ) and the SA said if there were any options I wanted coding to let them know when I drop the car off.

The only one I specifically want is for my folding mirrors to automatically fold when I lock and unlock the car but what other options are there ? Am I missing out on any cool coding options.

Thanks in advance of any help

This regards me as well. My 2005 530d is getting a sw upgrade on Thursday. Anyone know of any good coding options?

How does the folding mirrors option work from the key? One-click locks the car as usual, and one extra click folds the mirrors? And unlock always unfold?

If you press and hold the centre of the fob ie the BMW emblem the mirrows will fold up, you will need to check though that the coding is already in your system, my M5 just needed it programming in then they worked a treat

Are you two following me around ?

Well this topic is all irrelevant now as the car went in last night so the only option I've asked for is auto folding mirrors.

We'll have to see how it all pans out I guess.

I'll report back with what my new CIP number is and also if my iPhone 3G works with

Then I can get an M5 LOL

Just a stupid question... How do you know which software version your iDrive is? Any way of checking it via the iDrive?

It is a dealer option, if your car has this you can get the Dealer to program it in, you cannot access it through the IDrive.
