anyone know how to have the double flash feature when you lock AND unlock the car? no nav in this e90 so i have no clue

By double flash, I assume you mean the tail lights and blinkers? I don't recall seeing that option when I went through the manual.

You can set up that feature without I-Drive. You need to get into your settings from the turn signal stalk, and you'll be able to activate it in there. Unless you have the alarm, you won't be able to have the clown nose flash or get the chirp though.

There are multiple features on page 21...double confirmation for lock and unlock doesn't seem to be one of them. Maybe it's not on the newer cars?

yea it came with the 08+ models.

my '06 has that option. it's in the BC settings somewhere via the turn signal stalk (I was able to turn this on in my car). It makes the turn signals blink once when you lock the car, and twice when you unlock it.

Note that many options in the BC settings are only available when the engine is turned off.

He's asking for it to blink twice on either (lock or unlock), rather than 1 for lock and 2 for unlock.

Here you go per Owners Manual. I can't paste the pictures, so when it refers to button 1, it is the vertical toggle on the turn signal. Button 2 is the horizontal button on the end of the turn signal.

Setting confirmation signals

You can program the vehicle to confirm when it
has been locked or unlocked.

1. Lightly push button 1 in the turn indicator
stalk up or down repeatedly until the symbol
appears in the display accompanied by the
word "SET".
2. Press button 2.
3. Lightly push button 1 in the turn indicator
stalk down repeatedly until the desired
symbol appears in the display.

> Confirmation signal during locking
4. Press button 2.
5. Use button 1 to select:
>
The hazard warning flashers light up
during unlocking/locking.
>
An acoustic signal sounds during
unlocking/locking. Alarm only
>

>
The function is deactivated.
6. Press button 2.
The setting is stored.

What would be the difference besides one additional flash?

[Ron1n]

No idea..but that's what he wants.

What you posted above is exactly what I saw in my manual, too. Already took pictures out of manual once tonight...didn't feel like doing it again. :P
