Great that you circled back with that info -- I have a 2017 also. Since you had a good experience with the eBay seller, could you perhaps provide a link to the map update you got? Sometimes eBay can be a crap shoot and since you've already done the due diligence, I'd like to ride your...

Hey, do I get a referral fee? lol (you know me as tom*****[email protected] and you installed in March)

Sweet! Nice look. For anyone wondering, while that's an improved look, its not necessary. The original "follow further away" button just becomes the TJA button and the original "follow closer" button cycles through all options. The eBay buttons are an improved look, but cost as the entire...

You send them your VIN before ordering and they determine whether your vehicle is compatible. I have ACC and the hands-free parallel parking -- not sure if that's required though. Once programmed, all warning lights are off, the car seems like normal except the ACC "follow farther away" button...

https://premiumretrofit.net/traffic-jam-assistant-activator/ They do all the necessary programming remotely. The dire error messages on the display during the programming are enough to give you a heart attack, but they are normal and clear. Still, a head's up would have been nice!

The OP has a point. In most cars, even budget cars, Auto does exactly that -- gets to the set temp asap. Once the a/c is capable of blowing cold air, the fan will automatically go to max volume, and then back down as the set temperature is approached. In this supposedly premium vehicle, it is...

No, that's part of the PremiumRetro kit. Remove two screws, add their tiny adaptor in-line (no cutting of any wires) and UR good to go. No requirement that you keep your hand on the wheel.

Let me say at the outset that I know that I am responsible for driving the car, must maintain full attention at all times, etc. Please no replies about that! Having said that, I am one week into using TJA, which I got from PremiumRetrofit and they did the install remotely. I like to know...

It cannot be disabled, but it can be modified under advanced options in Bimmercode. You need to enter a custom value of FF. FF is 255 in hexidecimal, so the doors will automatically lock at 255 MPH. BDC Body Module: 3040 : VAM_SPEED_LIMIT_ PIA_AUTO_LOCK set to: werte = FF If you are going...

It's shocking to me that a quality manufacturer like BMW would think that the intermittent wiper function was good enough to begin manufacturing. Yes, it's cool to have a high tech feature, but not if it basically doesn't work properly. I think everyone would rather have "dumb" intermittent...

@mojp Interesting. All BMW forgot was the "on" switch for rain sensor deactivated operation. :)

Right off the bat, let me say I feel for you -- especially as a fellow owner of a 2015 i3 REX. Having said that, I unfortunately don't have any answers for you. But I would encourage you to please circle back as you work through this and keep us updated. In addition to being interested in...

I appreciate that this is supposed to be high-tech, but I'd take timed intermittent wipers over the automatic wiper any day. Even on FAST, the windshield often gets way too obstructed before the sensor kicks in. Am I doing something wrong? Is there a way of making the wipers intermittent on a...

It was my understanding that no coding is necessary with 2017+ and HSOC is always available at 75% or below. Anyone confirm/deny?

Your exact scenario happened to me with my 2017. Went to the dealer with the: "BMW ConnectedDrive is not available for this vehicle." message. They had me pay for the service using the app while sitting in the service lane. Took a few hours, but then everything worked. 2017's saying 3G is a...

Thanks, but with my 2017 USA model, there no option in iDrive to check/uncheck so nothing to enable. That's just not in the menu system, unless you are saying that that code puts it in the iDrive system AND enables unchceck This is just frustrating the crap out of me. If anyone has any...

Did a search on fernan85, didn't find a smoking gun. Insidious = "proceeding in a gradual, subtle way, but with harmful effects." Please explain.

One additional advantage of the REX. If you are on a trip and arrive at a public charger and find them all out of service or all occupied (a fairly common occurrence in the USA, unfortunately) the REX gives you the option of moving on to the next charger.

People complain. It's what they do. You are not going to have someone start a thread with the topic, "Nothing has gone wrong with my REX." I have had zero problems with my 2015 REX. Mostly I don't need it, but am comforted that it is there. On occasion, I visit a friend who lives 400 miles...

@bwilson4web …or maybe not. Lol 😊
