On the 5 series when you drive off the doors automatically lock. I really like this feature, just wondering if its possible in the Z's?

Yes, can be programmed by the dealer.

Does it have to be the dealer or can it be with one of those Snap On computer things you can plug into the car?
 
There is a whole list of items that can be programmed, follow-me-home, door locking, indicators flash on lock / unlock and so on.

There is a scanned doc on this site which lists them all, you would have to search for that though as I don't remember where it is.
 
I reprogrammed some of these features myself.

got the ODB adpater off ebay and it came with the software - £20.

you can set loads of small things including the auto lock.

I changed mine so it flashed when i locked/unlocked.
 
Yep, anyone with Autologic can do it, along with 1 touch passenger window, beep on locking and opening, 3 flash indicators.
Several of us have used Pete in Telford (can't remember the name of his company but search for him on here and you'll find him) he'll set all kind of things for about £25 even opening and shutting the roof off the key, but then won't matter to you as you bought the wrong car :poke:
 
Costs £45 for the programming and you get a tick list before so you can have what ever you want turned on :thumbsup:

Had mine done but it wrecked the car, the driver window kept going down after I had locked the car at a random intervals. Couldn't take it anywhere. They replaced the window motor, then the whole computer unit controlling the key features and started again was a right pain in the ass.

Here's the link to the one I bought.

On the mobile, so it's the wap site. Hopefully you'll be able to find it.
 
Found this on the BMW coding forum

Using NCS expert and EDIABAS cable I was able to activate:

FH_BEIFAHRERTUER_TIPP_ZU on touch up - passanger window

KOMFORTOEFFNUNG_FB key fob roof open

KOMFORTSCHLIESSUNG_FB key fob roof close

This was my very first time coding, it feels great! However I don't know much obviously.

Using SSS v32 I coded the car to lock the doors when I start driving. Now I am wanting to find a way to
automatically unlock doors with engine shut off/key removal so I don't have to pull the lever twice or hit the unlock button, is that an option on the Z4 E85 using coding? someone replied not possible.

Can't find it mate, can you give us the item number.

I activated auto lock and unlock when key comes out of the ignition with my intravee ipod kit. Works a treat.
 
It's one of those features I've never particularly liked. I've never lived or (to my knowledge!) driven through an area where car jacking is rife however!

I know the inside door release works regardless, and the locks would disengage if you end up on your roof - or that if you need someone to haul you out the car the chances are the door won't be the right shape to open, but there's something I don't like about being locked in!
 
Here's an active aution item, the exact same one I have.

The advert for this on ebay states (bottom of page):

"This will not work on cars built from 03/2007 and newer cars"

Since my 2007 E86 coupe was built a few months after 03/2007, does this mean there is a different connector on newer Z4s???? Or is their advertisement mistaken and it will work?
 
i had the auto lock done by someone with an autologic.. however mine requires a double handle pull to unlock stilll, would love to get rid of that... or aleast unlock the passenger if the drivers is opened.

How easy was it to reprogram, could anyone do it? I'm thinking of buying from the link above, but a gargae near me can do any changes for £30.

I'd prefer to do it myself for that price and have the software to edit it and read any potential faults in the future.
