I have a 2008 535xi. A recent message popped up expressing "window anti-trap deactivated". Its ridiculous that I cannot locate help in the booklet of manuals pertaining to the car that is sending a factory provided message. I have read elsewhere that this is a fairly simple issue with typically a fairly simple resolution. Please, if anyone can point me in a DIY direction, I'd sincerely appreciate it.

Same trouble here and also hopeful for some info.

Thanks,

Try resetting the window travel distance.

very simple process (worked for me plenty of times maybe your situation is unique but this is what I have done in the past)

#1 Make sure all your windows are completely up
#2 Put all your windows Down at the same time
#3 Pull all your Windows up at the same time

Make sure that you do this all at the same time while holding the buttons down and then up (considering one of the windows anti trap function is disabled thus the automatic feature dosnt work anymore)

pcy, how would I attempt to reset the window travel distance?

E39540I6 - thank you for your info, but it wasn't a resolution for my particular car.
