Folding mirrors with key stopped

Post by birdy_z4 » Sun Jul 03, 2022 1:27 pm

Hi All

My folding mirrors using key fob has stopped working.

Works fine with the button inside the car so not mechanical

Which modules do I need to check using ncsexpert for the setting ?

Comfort access is switched on in the idrive menu

Thanks for any advice

Does the car have a SmartTop? Sometimes they lose their settings and revert to default which iirc doesn’t fold the mirrors regardless of what is set in the car menus.

    There are several systems that interact with folding mirrors..battery health, comfort access aerials / ECU are amongst many..key fob battery health..

    Have you tried standing right next to the drivers door and holding the close down for several seconds and do a recycling of full lock , full unlock?
    We choose to go to on with this endeavour at this time and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard…
