Hi,

Is it possible to get the headlights to light up when you press open on the car key?

Thanks,

Aage

No way to illuminate the lights from the key but if you're looking for a "follow me home" type of functionality, just pull back on the turn signal stalk as you are getting out of the car. This will illuminate the headlights for a short time to help light your path as you walk away from your car...

And all this time I thought you just didn't want to be followed home...

Does your car have the lights that shine down from the side mirrors?

This function is readily available in the LCI E60

And I don't think it is a software enabled option
