How to manually deactivate DRL in 06 E90

bank3r · 12-08-2008, 09:18 PM

First of all, I tried searching for a solution on how to turn off your DRL but I couldn't find any, so I just mess around on the computer dash and figured it out how to turn of the DRL

My car is 06 325i, without iDrive.

Roll down the P thing next to the BC to get this.

Then keep rolling it down until you get to this setting, then click BC and it will show you a few options

After scrolling down to DRL setting, click on this setup and turn it off.

And I also installed E90 Andy's Angel Eye Harness and now on my E90 I got Angel eye as DRL.

Good luck with those without iDrive, and other with iDrive, I am not sure of your setting but give it a try.

You should know better than to expect people to read anything if it's not on the puter.

canucklion · 12-09-2008, 09:37 AM

with idrive, you can access the options/menu via idrive.

This works for all production years except pre-September 05.

You were going to pay $50 to have someone turn off your DRL's???

QFT. The only way for early-build cars to adjust these settings is through a reprogramming by the service techs. If you have an '06 and can change the settings, then your car is built after Sept-05. Early-adopters got screwed.

Whether or not the service folks decide to charge $50 is up to them... some probably will, though IMO it should be a warranty thing (I'm currently getting my DRL's turned off as part of a larger warranty job).

FWIW, my SA confirmed that the settings cannot be added to the early-build cars, implying it's not just a software thing (perhaps a different ECU?).
