This may be useful to check folding wing mirrors to see if intravee will control them, can someone check. Instructions below, them email to RichardP

Often an iBus log of the message being sent between various components in a vehicle can help determine the cause of a problem you may be experiencing.

The log should be as short as possible, but long enough to capture the problem. If possible try and reduce iBus traffic as much as possible, one way to do this is to make sure that the radio is tuned to FM and the Intravee is not the selected source, the display updates the Intravee sends cause a lot of iBus traffic. Obviously if the problem is related to display updates you can't do this.

To take an iBus log do the following :
Connect up the Intravee to your PC and run the downloader program as if you were updating the firmware.
In the downloader select File, Expert Mode. The first time you select Expert Mode you will be prompted to enter a log file prefix name, use your forum name or something that allows you to be easily identified.
In the downloader select File, Start Log, select file name and location.
In the downloader select Controls, Run emulator.
In the emulator dialog press the button "IBUSDON".
perform the action you want to log, in this case just let the radio play for 1 minute.
In the emulator dialog press the button "IBUSDOFF".
Close the emulator dialog.
In the downloader select File, End Log.
You should now have a log of all ibus activity between selecting IBUSDON and IBUSDOFF in the emulator.

Ok done. I've done a 1 minute log with no changes to the car, and 2 runs each of a mirror fold and a mirror unfold. I'll PM RichardP for his email address
 
Great,
He will be able to see if the intravee can control the mirrors

Looks like more work required using INPA to do the control. I have INPA so watch this space. Just awaiting instructions from Richard on what to wire up and what to do so we can get a trace.
 
Just wired up and fired up INPA and can't see an option to fold the mirrors. Any hints on where I should be looking? I looked at the body section and nothing there. I also fired up TIS but that's not something I've played with before and it looked a bit capable of bricking something so I shut it down again :D

At least I spotted my skipping CD shouldn't be a problem to claim on warranty, it's showing in the error log for the radio :thumbsup:
 
Stuart,

The idea was that you save the IBUS logs and send them to RichardP, he will be able to work out if the mirrors commands are on the IBUS, if so then he can add the feature in to the intravee firmware so the mirror work via intravee.
 
Done that and sent him the logs. PVR has done this in the past though, so we were looking to use INPA to trigger them as pressing the mirror button doesn't seem to generate any iBus activity. Looking on INPA 5.02 and having selected E85 I cannot see any option to test the mirror mechanism.

Wondering if I need to update my files.
 
if no IBUS logs then im guessing that was last chance to see if we could get mirrors working as INPA & SSS etc dont work. I have looked at the codes in ncsexpert and no joy. Thanks for helping.
 
It's an odd one as IIRC the module is the same as the E46. Maybe there's a jumper on the module, or a wire missing in the loom to link things together? This bugs me mightily
 
These are the BMW ncsexpert codes below. Think we only have:

SPIEGELABKLAPPEN_GM Outside mirror folding in (General Module)
SPIEGELHEIZUNG_VERBAUT_GM Outside mirror heating installed (General Module)

BMW codes general:
SPIEGEL_BORDSTEIN_AUTOM Outside mirror tilt down in reverse
