Adding options after purchase of vehicle

[Junz]

HI Guys,
my previous post is stuck in limbo somewhere

my question was - can you add options to your vehicle after it has been purchased.

Like auto hold and extended telephone functionality

what is auto hold? Hill climb assist?

 

[Junz]

auto hold is when you come to a stop and when you release the brake the car remains stationery. you need to engage the accelerator to move again

My steptronic auto does that all the time (auto hold), almost every auto i drove does that except the very old ones.

your car has the 8 speed box bru?

From what I have read on BMW it looks like it is an optional feature on the 3 series and standard for the 5/7 series.

anyways - Will it be possible to have it fitted now ?

Might be software only. Speak to OBDWorx in the advertiser section

It is possible (some are, some not) but the cost will be waaaaay higher than adding at purchase.

I'm with Ash on this one, all the E90's onwards have this feature as standard. Even my manual M3 has it.

If it's not working, I would have a word with my SA at the dealer.

For extended phone functionality, it depends on the car. In some cases a module needs to change to get this, in other cases it's and FSC code that they load on your HU. The first option will be expensive, the last not so much.

What specific car are we talking about here?
