      I was going to make this exact point. Do NOT unlock all doors as a default option. This is a thieves best friend and you don't want to make friends with thieves. I see this around my area all the time when people fill up at a gas station and put their car in park, all their doors open up, BAD idea. The thieves are lurking around and I've seen them getting in the passenger side doors and stealing purses and whatever else is laying around in the vehicle. I'm sure there are good areas where this is will be OK but generally, not a good idea..

    Of one the most features to me is the east access steering wheel - I haven’t been able to turn that off and my 2021 groans each time I turn the car on and it extends the steering wheel. One nice to have future would be to program the front camera or 360 view to come on when you are below 5 mph to help with parking, I don’t think BMW has that option, but they should consider adding it OTA.

    • @BeamerView
      @BeamerView  2 года назад +1

      I can see how that can be annoying, hopefully they fix it soon! And yes that’s a genius idea, or even if BMW could program the GPS to sense when your in a parking lot it’ll just come on. Like the activation point system they have for the drive recorder.

    I really hate this steering intervention feature. At a particular roadworks patch they painted the original dotted line with a black paint. On a rainy day this line was shinny and my X5 literarily swerved on to the oncoming traffic.
    You mentioned about the arrow on the map pointing opposite direction and change it from the settings. What I did was to just got the compass icon on the screen (without changing anything from car settings) and it adjusted itself to the normal forward direction. You can give a try. Love your videos mate!

I guess I will need to bring the car to the garage for some intervention.

    Hi, really like your videos. 2 things I would love to know. 1 - I use Android Auto in my 330e and it always defaults to play Spotify when it connects. I would rather it played what I had one when I last shut the car. Is that possible? 2 - when i start driving the car always starts in Hybrid mode. Can I set it to always start in Electric mode unless the battery is dead? thanks very much.

      I’d try closing your Spotify app and checking to see if it has updates. Also try doing a hard reset on your phone and try the Idrive reset on the bmw console as well.
      The vehicle will always start in hybrid. Many bmw cars also always start in comfort as well.

      When you set up your driver profile, you want to keep only your key in the car so that it it'll link to your profile.
      You're husbands profile cannot be guest, and would advise not using it since you could lose your settings. Best bet would be him to also get the MY BMW APP, and using his own email and password, setup to the vehicle. Then when he makes his profile just make sure his key is in and yours is out, and it'll link to his profile.

      Yes, usually the system inside will stay on until you lock the car or turn off the system manually, the way you manually do it is by holding down the volume knob for 3 secs. Once you do that the phone should detach from the system and it should just play through the phone. Let me know if you've already tried this.

      I think you may be referring to the engine START STOP feature. So what that button may do is to control the feature where the engine turns off at the red lights to save gas. Some people don't like that feature so you can turn that off if you like, but you may have to do it every time you're in the vehicle.

      It's very normal for the gas/fuel miles to change or fluctuate, it will go up or down depending on your driving style. So if you do go into sport, the vehicle is using more power, so the range will go down faster.

      There is a way but it is quite tedious to get to it. When you're in the parking assistance screen where you see the top down view of your car and the rear view camera, there is a hidden tab to the left of the screen that you can slide over and that should get you to see "3D VIEW" and "car wash" select 3d View. You'll see your car in 3D, and now when you press the small lines going around your vehicle you can select which view you want. I think I may have demonstrated this in my 30+ Hidden Tricks Video.

      I have seen that as a glitch once but the first thing I would check would be inside your CLIMATE CONTROL MENU, there is a option there called climate control rules. I would check to see if that is set so that it turns on all by itself if the temperature falls below a certain degree. Try that first, if not I would also try making sure the heated wheel is off when you exit the vehicle.

      No real way to turn off that front vent manually. You could try adjusting your climate control directions by using the button that looks like a person with 3 lines going across. It's located on the climate control strip. The best way would be to just keep your climate on AUTO and leave the a/c button on at all times. Then you can just adjust the temperature to whatever you desire and the car will take care of the rest on where it should be blowing the air.

    I think it is absolutely perfect that only the driver's door is unlocked at the first press and other doors if you press again.
    If you are alone and have the car parked e.g. in a parking lot with a lot of shady individuals, it is quite nice that the only driver's door is unlocked, so that no one pulls open any of the doors on the other side and snatches a camera, bag or something else.
    It is not such a big hassle to press twice if you are with the family to open their doors.
    For the same reason, I have programmed so that the doors lock automatically when you start driving.

That is for the owner to figure out, quit trying to educate people who don't care to figure it out themselves. Your point is good, but his point was if it is annoying to you, then "this" is how you change it. Let Darwin's theory work on those who don't care to stop and "think about their situation" before making any changes.

      The profiles are set to each key and works the best when all the profiles are made and set.

    • @BeamerView
      @BeamerView  2 года назад +1

      Great question. I know exactly what you mean being a bmw owner myself.
      My best input is the fact that if the desired temperature of the car is way off then it’ll purposely blow the fans more than what it’s set to in order to reach that temp.
      I’ve noticed that once the temperature is reached the fan meter is more accurate in terms of speed.
      You can control the air speed but the temperature of the air blowing in will feel similar to what your temperature is set to.
      It’s odd how BMW does it. You would think air speed would be a function that isn’t controllable when it’s set to auto but personally I do like the fact that I can control the speed while being in auto!

    Is there a way to close all your windows at the same time using the key fob?

    • @BeamerView
      @BeamerView  2 года назад

      Yes. Depending on a few things.
      Newer vehicles, you can hold down the lock button to do it.
      For vehicles in the 2018-2017 range you can’t use the fob but if the vehicle has keyless entry, hold down the lock button on the door handle to close windows.

    Any idea how to make the buttons on the steering wheel to go through your preset radio stations instead of just a seek button for the radio?

    • @BeamerView
      @BeamerView  2 года назад

      Hey Stacey, try hitting the menu button on the steering wheel ( it looks like 3 lines in the multimedia part)
      You might see a menu pop of fm am radio etc and I believe presets might be there as well.
      Another way you could do it is go into the presets menu on the Idrive screen and once you select one station, hitting the seek button now should go to the next preset in the menu.

      It's a very common question for hybrid vehicles!
      There is one way. Right before you open the door, shift the gear shifter the M/S Mode and then to PARK.
      That should make the engine turn on and then if you open the door it should keep the vehicle on.

      I've had that issues happen a couple times. Try messing around with the seating controls, and even the seats in the rear to see if it fixes it. Also try driving the vehicle around for a bit to see if it helps. If issues still persist, it's best to bring it in to get it checked.

    • @BeamerView

      It should only go off when you say "Hello BMW" unless the wake word was changed to something else.
      If you want to deactivate that feature, you do it in settings.
      HOME SCREEN > CAR > SETTINGS > GENERAL SETTINGS > You should see PERSONAL ASSISTANT here; if not, go into IDRIVE SETTINGS, and it should be in there.

      Hey Jen! Thanks for reaching out. To my knowledge there is a way.
      You can keep google maps running but, you have to download the Sirius app on your phone and use that for music in order to have both be available.
      If you use the Sirius that’s built into the car it won’t work as you can only have one music source at one time (bmw source vs Apple CarPlay/android auto)

      Hey Pete, sorry for the late reply.
      You could set her connection mode in communication to BMW IDRIVE, instead of Apple CarPlay.
      Trying going into COM > MOBILE DEVICES > CLICK ON HER PHONE > Then change her connection mode to iDrive.
      If that doesn’t work. In the mobile devices screen, click on settings and see if there is a menu item that says Phone Priorities and play with that.
      Lastly, I’ve had one customer who’s apps pop up randomly whenever she gets into the car. To fix that try doing a iPhone hard reset and make sure it’s up to date.
      Hope this helps, let me know.
