Does anyone know how or a link on how to program my 3.0i 2003 key to turn on the outside lights when i lock unlock my Z4? I'm not in the best neighborhood so I want people to see I just locked the Z so no one goes for it ha that and it would look badass when you walk away from a sexy beast like a z4 and the light flicker! Ha
 
This can be done by programming the car but you'll need either pay a dealer or buy the correct leads & software from someone like BMTechnic and spend some time mastering the ins & outs of the various modules

The easiest way to set this up this (and a lot of other things) is by installing an Intravee II - it's not just for connecting an iPod, the later firmwares have lots of extra facilities including the selection of various light combos/durations on lock/unlock
 
You can also add sounds when car locks/unlocks, that's what I did on mine. If you near Gatwick I would be able to help as I do have the necessary cable and software to do it.

Thanks but I'd have to ship my Z over seas to visit :rofl:

what software do you use, I ticked the options for sound on locking and unlocking using ncs expert for dummies or whatever and it just doesn't work.
the windows up and down on the key works fine and some other stuff too but not that.
 
I bought the software and went thru the whole installation and setup so I could make my 2004 3.0 chirp when locking. I did make the lights flash on lock but could not make a chirp on lock. After much investigation - I found out that you cannot make any sounds on lock unless you have the alarm system and I don't. You can retrofit the alarm module but for that much money I will do without the chirp. It is easy to make the lights flash and you can get the software and connection cable to make that happen on Ebay for around $75.

ive got the alarm system on mine and still couldnt get the chirp! i did manage to get the lights to flash however!
 
When you go to get out, just flash the lights once and they'll stay on for 30 seconds.

Ah....just re-read, you mean indicators flash once/twice for lock and unlock.........carry on as you were............I'll pay more attention :P
