Is there a way to turn this off? (Without iDrive) Only noticed it when I got a smarttop module, when I triple unlock to put the roof down it must trigger the comfort entry as the window goes back up when I close the door. If I've got the roof down I want the windows to stay down
Had a look through carrista and couldn't find anything relating to it, possible the smarttop itself is triggering it but can't find any options for that in its settings.

This is mentioned in the smart top manual. You need to switch comfort access off using Carly, not sure if other devices can also do it. Worked on mine.

Sorry, Ron. I’m still drunk from celebrating the EUFA championship.

Which button makes the toggle? Thanks.

Originally I had 8 for night mode and 7 for day - but by chance I realised pressing 8 it swapped between the two modes.

Ok. It took sniffing around the iDrive, but I’ve found and assigned #6 to toggle between day and night modes. (Me car only has 6 buttons.) During bright days (like today in SF) I find the display useless whether in day or night mode. I have to wait for a shaded patch or the evening to read to bloody thing. Thanks for all the good tips.

You’ve set a doubt In my mind now - has mine got 6 or 8?
I’m going to check tomorrow.

From memory in mine it’s 6 numbered buttons then the trf (traffic) and Mode = 8. All can be programmed to any task (I’m away skiing at present and car is at home so can’t check).

If you have idrive, the 8 buttons can be assigned to any function and can differ for each key. I use
1. Aux audio for my firefly usb thing
2. FM radio
3. FM radio
4. Close the screen
5. AM 5 live
6. Call the missus (call me on her key)
7. Cancel navigation
8. Navigate to holiday home

On my f30, took me 18 months to discover if you touch (not press) the button it displays what it does on the screen

Ah brilliant thanks, I'll have another look on carrista, otherwise hope my mate still has his Carly subscription!
