Scootr, it's a critical update that must be completed. In case you weren't aware, the SmartTop modules are only 'leased' not purchased. It's a requirement after a period of possession (ie, however long you've had yours) to disconnect the module and send it to another Z4 owner, preferably in another country East of Australia, slightly North of Antarctica.
I'm happy to help you fulfil your obligation, and will PM you my address shortly.
Thank you for you cooperation, please do not try to confirm the veracity of this post in any way.
:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :lol:

It’s a firmware upgrade which they do from time to time. Below is the changelog:

2011-06-13 New product name and firmware branch (STLFBW3) for 3Series/Z4 Plug-and-Play version - v1.00
2012-01-21 Improved comfort trunk access and quick double-click mirror folding for cars with factory alarm - v1.01
2013-01-13 Bugfix for rare case where remote was not recognized on UK model - v1.02
2013-02-16 Minor update - End setup by holding stalk up or down - v1.03
2014-01-31 Implemented RED error LED status output (blinks if no data from top controller) - v1.04
2015-04-21 Fix for rare case where top would get stuck after using trunk comfort access mode - v1.05
2017-06-30 Major Update. New Setup structure and operation. More programmable functions - v2.00
2017-08-13 Fix for all-windows one-touch up function not working reliably on some models - v2.01
2018-02-20 Added Valet mode (Function 2 Setting 2) - v2.10
2018-08-29 Added Function 12 Setting 4 for immediate unfolding of mirrors when unlocking - v2.20
2018-11-04 Added manual transmission compatibility for park assist - v2.21
2019-12-01 Upgraded Module operating system - v2.22

I can’t imagine it will make a whole lot of difference updating it to v2.22 but presumably they have done it for a reason.
 
:rofl: Entertaining and educational :thumbsup: I couldn't have asked for more.

Enzed I'll have my assistant get in touch with your assistant as soon as she is freed up.

That sounds ominous - I have visions of someone chained up in the basement... :o :lol:
 
Im going to leave mine well alone - it’s not broken so I’m not going to fix it - unless there’s a compelling issue lurking?
