    howto: automatically unlock all doors at end of trip

    Hi.

    I was looking in my iDrive menu for this 2008 528i and I wasn't able to locate an option to cause all doors to unlock when I reached the end of trip (put car in park and shut off engine)

    I have INPA data cable and software, is there anything I can do to solve it?

    Thanks,
    Radu

    It's in the iDrive under "Settings" > "Vehicle" I think.

    It's not in the iDrive. You can lock them when you drive away, but can't set them to be unlocked when you park.

    However, it is available with coding. I don't know much about it, but there's several features that can be coded if you have the knowledge and tools. Some of them were European features that us Americans weren't allowed to have.
