Custom Key Programming Help

[misiek92]

Hi, I have a 2008 335i e92 and I was researching on how to program the key so that the windows and mirrors automatically go up and fold when it is locked and vice versa. I know it can be done. But the question is, where do I go to get this done? I am located in Chicago, Illinois. Any ideas, help, or recommendations would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

I think you've been misinformed. They will not fold automatically, nor will the windows raise when the vehicle is locked.

^^ It can be done. There are individuals out there that have the software, I'm not sure of any in Chicago. Call up a few independent BMW shops and ask if they do any custom coding work, and what they can code.

Also, try posting in the regional section, someone there might know someone who can do this.

yeah it can be done, look on youtube. Yeah I will try posting there thanks!

Thanks a lot man, I emailed him...waiting for reply.

[White94RX]

I see. Apparently there's a lot more settings out in the vehicle that we can't access here at the dealership.

Note that any such aftermarket programming will be erased if the dealer has to reprogram your car for whatever reason. You'd have to get it done again.

[misiek92]

hopefully the person that does it for me would do it again at no charge if the car had to be reprogrammed. Hopefully..

Yeah, they usually re-do it for free or at a discounted price. There is still the matter of inconvenience though and missing something that you might have gotten used to which is annoying to some.
