transport mode

[a11y]

Well, sp3ctre and me seemed to have some success last night - he managed to turn his off with no re-illumination, but mine came straight back on but I think that's due to me not having identified and fixed the source of the fault yet.

I fully expect that once I have identified/fixed it, that I'll be able to turn off the airbag light with this software without a problem

Update,

Had the Transit Mode turned off again at the Dealers. I was getting a very strange engine searching sound at start up too kind of like an exhaust blowing but not. Anyway it seems like the transit mode was cuasing that as it wasnt doing it on the way home.

Thought it might be a some use to make a note of it..

I've just had mine switched out of transport mode following long term storage last year. The engine performed normally but I lost heated rear window, air con and the heater fan only ran on dead slow.....all fixed now but do you think the dealer could explain what it was about? Five clueless service clerks on duty in BMW Oxford, no wonder our bloody bills are so high!

How did you get it out of transport mode bud? Mine seems to be in it after a battery swap!

It needs to be coded via the OBD.

While I don't think it can be done using Carly, here is a link to people on here who have it:- viewtopic.php?f=2&t=97818

Some of them have other diagnostic software as well so one of them may be able to help you.

Failing that it's a visit to BMW or a BMW specialist.

Ideally you want to get Transport Mode deleted, not just reset or it could happen again.
