Disabling Automatic Steering Wheel Entry/Exit Feature

Has anyone ever figured out how to disable this feature, besides paying the dealer? I hate that my wheel moves every time I exit and enter-it's so unnecessary!

Thanks. Is that a dealer-only situation, or is there a workaround?

There is a work around: find someone to code it for you.
I am in the Chicago Burbs and I have seen a few coding events...
Many "coders" can even do it remotely. Check some forums, either here or any of the other BMW Forums.

The dealer should be able to do it as well.

I thought it was just me who thought this was ridiculous. Nice to know this is set as a default but can be turned off.

You and I are always on the same page. Now, if you can tell me that you're a Spurs fan, too (Tottenham-not San Antonio), that'd be a trifecta!

I will have to disappoint you there! Didn't grow up in a household that watched sports on TV; we just played them...

Hi @All

I´m searching for a matching coding-entry to disable the automatic steering-column movement.

In my E71 -2012 i have comfort-seats ( Module FAS) an Active Steering (Module ASA).

Already tried some possibilities, but didn´t had success. :-(

Is there somebody here who is so friendly to share some info´s ?

Thanks in advance.

I hope i found it, how to code it.

Today i read a lot in the RHEINGOLD documentation, where i found the hint, that the automatic steering-column movement is controlled by the IHKA-Module.

O.K., made a deeper look through the functions in IHKA.
Then found:

Code:
        ELSV_EH_LAENGE         
        ELSV_EH_NEIGUNG
In german: ELSV_EH = Elektrische Lenksäulenverstellung__ Einstiegshilfe

That must be it !!

In germany it´s already past midnight.
So, tomorrow i will check and report.

SOLVED !! Works like a charme.

You can still adjust the steering wheel on the control lever in length and height.
Also the memory function - in combination with comfort seats - works.

But the automatic steering column movement for "Easy Exit / Entry" has gone.

ELSV_EH_LAENGE -> aktiv -> nicht_aktiv

ELSV_EH_NEIGUNG -> aktiv -> nicht_aktiv

I asked carly if they would offer the entry/exit disable option for coding in their next release. Thanks Seppl-Fahrer for finding the functions, that is what I sent them.

Thanks for doing this! I would love if the smart folks at Carly would work this into a future release.

Glad I'm not the only one who is annoyed by too much "comfort".


With NCSExpert it is only a one minute affair, because you only have to change "aktiv" to "nicht_aktiv" in the TRC-file, save it as MAN-file and write it back to IHKA-module.

I've got Rheingold on my laptop, can you give me a step-by-step?

you can't code with Rheingold; you'll need NCSExpert for that.

I've got NCSExpert as well. I've got an old Dell D630 dedicated strictly to coding I bought for converting my E38 from an auto to a 6spd, unfortunately I haven't finished the swap and have no clue how to use the laptop :-)
