Hi All
There have been written about the possibility of having the side view mirrows with Auto-fold function to be activated over the cars key's remote ( lock / un-lock ) , all the threads I've been reading claims that it is not possible to get this function to worke on E60/61 etc. due to the fact that BMW should have altered the software of the car , but thats not true.
so YES it is possible to code the BMW E60/61 to this funtion
After coding the car's car-key memory , it works like this : pres the lockbotton on the key one time and the car locks , press the lockbotton again and hold for 2-3 sec. , the mirrows fold in ( windows and sun-roof close ) , pres one time on the un-lockbotton at the key , the car un-locks and the mirrows folde out.
This coding is possible to do ,I just did it with the BMW INPA program.

I can confirm it is possible on the 2005 E60. I managed to get the dealer to do this option for me.
But can anyone confirm the dipping mirror is also an option that can be enabled especially on a 2005 or older E60 without memory seats?

Unfortunately, we can't do that in the U.S.
I'm sure it can also be done on the US-models , if the function is in the software , it can also be enabled , just a matter to find af "guy" that will/can do it , the function is located under the Car-Key memory options.

If thats the case, i can send my spare key to someone in Europe to do this for me!

hello BenAnd, are you saying that an Idrive update is not required? just update the memory on the remote key?

No , it's not so simple as that , the car needs to be "hooked" up to a lap-top in order to change the settings of the Car-key memory functions.

benand the only issue is that here in the good US of A we cant close our windows via remote we could only open them. BUT you are saying that it could be reprogrammed via car-key memory options and all that is needed obviously is the mirrors with the feature and need the high door module ?? BTW wtf is a high door module ?? thanks in advanced benand you are the man
