See me home headlights

Does anybody know how to activate this feature on the E90 ?

Mines is not active, but a buddy has a later model E90 and his works fine ??

BimmerMan should be able to help you out with this, he has the coding goodies

The one where you pull on the stalk AFTER the key is out of the ignition?

Thats on the e46...not sure if it works the same way on the e90!

I discovered that feature out by mistake while I was cleaning the car. 2 weeks later, I discovered the indicator/light thing while cleaning the car again. I had already had her for a year :facepalm:

Congrats Muney, you found an Easter Egg!
Right on the E46. Also not sure about the E90.
Have another look: http://www.bmwfanatics.co.za/showthread.php?tid=239&highlight=easter

Thanks for the link Hellas...I always thought the beep below 3C degrees was to warn me that its cold outside and wear a jacket before I exit the car... fail!

Nice one Hellas! :thumbsup:

Now to find a list like that for the E90's ....

Thanks for the tip Don , I will PM Bimmerman if he doesn't respond to this thread ..

Works the same on the E9x and E8x series models...

With iDrive you can even set how long you want the follow-me-home-lights to stay on for.

I believe that this is a GT1 setting only...the software I have cannot set this option. You can either book the car into BMW and be charged 1 hour of labour to set this or make friends with some other dealership that has a GT1 and will apply the setting for free...

Thanks for info man.

I assume mp will not cover it?

I have never owned a car on motorplan, so I am not sure. I would think that if you ask them to modify the setting when the car is in for a normal service, they would do it without charging...but not sure.
If not, see if you can chat to the mechanic and promise a case of Castle if he can do it for you

you'll need to pull the stalk forward on the E90 if you want the lights on after u lock the car. you can configure how long the lights stay on afterwards on the settings tab on the indicator stalk.
