Yes - if there are ridges on the handles, it has CA. However BMW has not thought this through. My 2011 X5 has CA on all 4 doors, but not on the liftgate. I have to unlock one of the back doors by putting my hand on one of the handles, causing the car to unlock, then I can open the liftgate. And on my 2014 328d, CA is only available on the front 2 doors (not back doors), but trunk is also activated by CA. ???
Definitely love CA though, but it should be accessible from all 4 doors AND the trunk/liftgate as well. |

Thank you, after 77 viewers you got the answer for me . I am going to the auction and it will be nice to know the car I'm bidding on has CA with just looking at doors if I don't have time to run the VIN. After driving a 2014 5 series (loaner) with CA, can't live without CA . Headup display is the cut out screen on top the dash board. Combox is standard all 2012 models which I m going for. Sports seats are easy to see, same with cold weather pack. Premium sound are the extra speakers. Just some of packages I will be looking for. |

Also, side-view cameras mounted above the front reflectors indicate Technology Package on 2012 and 2013 models (side-view was a stand alone option on 2011's). Honestly though, you should run the VIN if you can. You can do it on your phone in just a few seconds. |

Also, what do you mean by 'standard' audio - S645 or S676? There were 3 audio options. |

I believe the standard audio is S676 for 2012's (again keep in mind I'm looking for 2012/ 13). And yes premium audio has the two speakers in rear doors regardless if you have 3 row or not.

Thanks for the info. I plan to run the vin but the downside sometimes with auction you spot the car too late and the only time you have is to do spot physical check on the car before bidding starts, esp an auction house like Manheim PA (The biggest in the nation I believe). |

Correct, standard is S676A for 2012 and 2013's regardless of model. I just didn't know if P1et was posting/talking about these 2 years specifically, or possibly a 2011...which would be different depending on model.
