Electric folding mirrors off the key ?

Post by RyanB88 » Thu May 25, 2017 7:51 pm

Hi

What do I need to code to make my mirrors fold off the key? I have electric folding mirrors but on my 1 series I coded them to fold or unfold when locking or unlocking, can't seem to find how to do it on our e85s?

Do you have any of the coding software, I know one poster on here can take remote access of a computer an help but I think you need the software in the first place, or put a post up for coding help an where about a you are an how far you may travel to get it sorted

So can it be done then?

I have Carly and can't seem to find the option, am I blind or is it there?

I also have access to NCS expert - is it possible to code on there?

That's good news as I can just press the open button when I get in :) is it Carly codable? Or NCS expert?

Mac, is this something that is easy to do then, last time I looked, I was told it couldn't be done.
If easy, could it be done at zedfest ??
