E89 roof problem - how to disable waring beep

Post by hyperfan » Thu Dec 15, 2022 10:00 am

Hi

My z4 has a roof fault that im going to get looked at in the new year, probably another sensor.

The car is constantly playing a warning beep constantly while driving, any way to disable the beep, the switch also flashes which is fine, its just the beep warning thats very annoying.

Thanks

Does the top still go up and down properly?

I'm going to guess at NO. :)

OP. The 'bong' should stop after a couple of minutes of driving, even with the red fault light flashing.
All good things come to those who wait. I'm really impatient which explains a lot.

I wish there were different beeps for different faults.
It's become generally the bong of doom. :o

Unfortunately not.
We are only able to pull the fuse of the amplifier, which will kill every audio signal/radio/warning.

Depending of the mounted hifi system fuse 15 or 69 has to be pulled. Only one of them is plugged, so it's easy going.
