5 flash turn signals

I'm using Carly for BMW and trying to code my one touch turn signals to give me 5 flashes vs 3. I've changed the one touch and all the 'key' (1-4) to five flashes and get a successful coding message. However, I don't see the 5 flash option in iDrive (only 1 or 3 flashes).

Thoughts?

Once coded to 5 blinks, the idrive setting becomes obsolete. Just leave it as is.

Well of course, I tried that! I only get 1 or 3 blinks. iDrive setting works no differently. Set it to 1 and I get 1 blink, 3 gets me three blinks.

Well, I just redid the coding and it worked! Not sure if this was the difference but in iDrive I made no changes as indicated above. Thanks for the tip!

Don't remember the specifics but I changed mine to 5 flashes in Carly as well. Mine flashes 5 times. Didn't touch any idrive setting. Maybe try it again with Carly by switching it back to 3 and then 5?

If you touch the I drive setting you will get 3 again because that is the menu option in the display.

Carly is not changing the I drive menu option so it is kinda pointless as soon as you have another adjustment to make such as turning off DRL when working on the car.
