Closing the roof from the key ?

Bodyboarder · Post by **Bodyboarder** » Thu Mar 21, 2024 7:03 pm

Hello ,

On my car I can open the roof from the key but not shut it . Is this something that can be coded in via Carly / bimmercode ? Or something actually physical that’s needed ?

Thank you

Do you mean you can openit if you press and hold unlock

If yes it can be coded, just worth checking, put key in drivers door turn and hold in the lock position, hold till it completes the cycle

Yes , so at the moment I can hold the unlock button down on the fob and the roof will come down … but when I hold the lock button on the fob … the roof doesn’t shut .

Needs to be coded
Just to mention when it's done
You'll press and hold and the roof will close but it'll time out before windows go up , so you'll just need to press and hold lock again for the windows to close
Or buy a gaptech

Ok thanks for the info ……

Sorry another question then …with the roof in its closed position but the windows down , when i press and hold the lock fob button , the windows don’t go up . Another coding thing ?

Yes probably, all part of the same anti trap I guess, BMW don't want you to be able to cause a accident by closing roof/windows while been away from the car

Not a problem, hopefully someone on here will be able to help get it coded for you

My car has been 'carlyed' at some point in prior ownership and does the same, wont wind the windows fully up. Kind of defeats the point really that you have to go back to the car to close the windows

Can you not just hold the key down a 2nd time then to close the windows ?

Sometimes mine go fully up, other times they don’t. I know it is self defeating but if I stand closer to the car it usually works.
Only time I’ve actually found it of any use was a few weeks back. Four on the drive with roofs open to air when the rain started. Me stood like some kind of demented scarecrow trying to press four fobs at once.
