Smartop setting

ronk · Post by **ronk** » Tue Apr 07, 2015 9:33 pm

My smartop is all set except for the mirrors

Do I :-
1 set it to fold every time on lock (are the motors man enough)
2 double tap to fold ( in which case the motion sensors are turned off)
3 turn the function off!

1, but with the auto unfold too. I've got that setup on my A8 and it's great, not least 'cos you can see at a glance if the car's locked...

exactly what i use mine for, works a treat and one of my primary drivers for wanting the smarttop

I must admit the only reason I like mine to auto fold when locked/unlocked is so I can check from the house, before I go to bed, that I've locked the car.

mine's coming today. Just reading up installation instructions, looks simple enough

Another forum member kindly installed mine

- the only difficulty I saw was the lack of stowage spcace for the unit after connection.

Do you need to have a smarttop for this? I thought you could code this using the BMWWhat app??

I've now set mine to fold/unfold on lock/unlock -I only hope that the motors are man enough to cope.

I do the same (fold / unfold on lock / unlock). Been working perfectly for almost 2 years, so I would not worry.

My mirrors also auto fold on lock/unlock.
As far a disabling the Smartop I left the USB connected and ran it so just the end is sticking out under the compartment where the battery is.. then I can use a USB extension cable to the laptop to enable/disable/change settings. (providing you can connect to your home wireless from where your car is!)

I use my Notebook for that purpose but as I'm migrating to Apple land I would like to be in the position to switch it off without using a PC.

How do you disable the Smarttop completely using the indicator stalk? Instructions not clear.

What does this mean: "you can navigate through the functions by pushing the stalk down [OK that's clear] and once the arrows are finished indicating the function and setting [less clear], change the setting by pushing it up [OK that's understood]"

Probably completely obvious once you know... but the middle bit? How do you cycle through each function and its settings? Was hoping to find a Youtube video of this, not found, anyone got a link///?

Pushing the stalk down spools thro the functions and the function is shown by the number of flashes of the indicator arrows - I think you have to run thro all of them .

I'm hanging onto a windows laptop for now ' cos the stalk instructions are as clear as mud.

I could not get the drivers to load on my windows laptop. (Win 7 64 bit), I might have another go with a 32 bit one
