Another Key Fob Question

Redman · 08-13-2005, 08:39 PM

The owner's manual says that if you press the BMW symbol on the key fob after the doors have already been locked, the interior lights will illuminate.

My car (325i, SG, black leather, ZPP, steptronic, heated seats), which I just picked up a few days ago, doesn't do this. Are others able to illuminate the interior lights by pressing the BMW symbol again after locking the car?

(Also, like others who have posted, my key fobs do not activate the seating and mirror memory positions. Is anyone able to get this feature to work, or is this another Sept. software upgrade feature?)

Thanks.

My interior lights and lights under door handle all light up when locking the car again... not sure about the memory stuff....

The way it works in my car. If I push the button, then do it immediatly again the lights don't turn on, but the interior motion sensor is deactivated.

If the car is locked, and has been for a few seconds and I push the button, the lights inside turn on...

Thanks for the tip. I tried waiting a while and then pressing the lock button again and it worked.
