BMW E46 TRICKS

SHOW OFF A LITTLE !!!!!!!!!

If you push the unlock button on the remote once it will unlock the driver door, for '02s if you push the unlock button on the remote twice it will unlock all the doors...then once all that is done.... push and hold the unlock button on the remote the windows will start to roll down... then the sunroof will open too.

You may be able to auto-roll down of windows from the remote control. Another way is to put the key in the door handle and turn to the unlock position and hold it there. This will also open and close the moon roof or put a convertible top down.

When equipped with the optional iRain Sensor, the iWindows module will automatically put the vehicle's windows and sunroof up when rain is sensed.


If you hit the 'counter reset button' with the ignition in position 2 (or very quickly when you start your car), then it will show you when you are due to change your brake fluid!



==============
To
access a whole slew of data and the instrument cluster test on an e46:
1. with the ignition off, hold the left instrument button
2. turn the key to position 1 (radio)
3. If you let go of the button and press again you will cycle through the following 20 tests.
4. If you want to acess the submenus, release the button while a test menu number is being diplayed, within a second, you will see Test number.0. You can then click again to cylce through the submenus. To get back to the main menu, press and hold the left key until you see the test number without the ".0".
5. Note, you can only access tests 1 and 2 without unlocking-- to unlock the other tests, go to test 19 and wait for the display ot say "l-off", then click again. Now you can cycle through to the other tests
