turn off steering wheel auto movement
Hello,
Just bought a 2011 X5 (my first BMW), and learning as I go. One question I can't find the answer to, is there a way to turn off the auto-movement of the steering wheel when turning the vehicle on and off? I found the setting under "locking" to turn off seat movement, but I can't find anything for the steering wheel. My 2008 Infiniti G35x has separate settings for the seat and wheel "convenience" movement, and after owning the car for a while I turned them off as it just annoys me. After buying this X5 and experiencing it again, I'm reminded of how much it annoys me. But can't seem to find anywhere on the X5 to turn the steering wheel movement off. Any help appreciated, thanks. |

Pretty sure its not an option via the "car" interface. I have not seen this coding option in my Carly tool, almost certain this cannot be coded there. Have not seen it in my Bimmergeeks Protool either, but could be hidden somewhere in the long list of coding options. I'll try and look soon and report back.

The Bimmergeeks Protool will be able to do this, has the same capabilities as NCS expert but a much more user friendly interface. You’ll still need a cable and an android device, does not run on IOS.

For anyone else reading this, I could not set the ELSV_EH_LAENGE setting in BimmerGeeks ProTool until I had set ELSV_EH_NEIGUNG, started the engine (full start), and then powered off. At that point I could set LAENGE. So the steps were: 1. Insert key, connect ProTool, find settings (per above, if I recall correctly it was under Climate, IHKA). 2. ELSV_EH_NEIGUNG -> aktiv -> nicht_aktiv 3. ProTool will tell you to power cycle. It's now set, but still can't set LAENGE. 4. Do a full start (engine on). Steering wheel will adjust. 5. Power off. Steering wheel will stay in place. 6. Insert key, connect ProTool, you can now set the other setting. 7. ELSV_EH_LAENGE -> aktiv -> nicht_aktiv Much happier now with driving experience. Also took the opportunity to program tailgate closing from FOB and dash, turned of legal disclaimer, etc.

Nice work! Do you know if it's possible to disable the tailgate opening from the key fob? I could not find it in the "common" section. Over the last couple of years I twice walked into the garage to find the tailgate jammed up against the garage door, must have hit the button in my pocket while in the house. Would have caused some damage to the tailgate and garage door if I didn't catch it first, scary stuff.

Hey I just DL'd Protool. Haven't yet connected it to my e70, so I can't really view anything yet...
Is there any translation in the app of these german language settings, to what we can actually use? Like how the heck do you know which setting to change for the "program tailgate closing from FOB" ? Just google everything??

@Lunker325 Not sure. ProTool will let you code the "close tailgate from FOB" setting, which I did. Wasn't looking to turn off opening from the FOB. It looks like in "expert" mode, ProTool will do just about everything, NCS Expert will do. But I'm new to this, so not sure.
@heatmizr Seems to be a mix. Common settings people are looking for, it looks like ProTool has put in English translations. If you are looking for some of the more obscure stuff, you have to go into "expert" mode and it's the German text. For the most part, yes, Google is your friend. I found a few threads on other BMW forum sites where people have been contributing codes they've found worked.

Thanks.
Do all e70's use the same cable to connect? If yes does anyone have a link to what they used? There are a LOT of cables out there! Hard to be sure which is correct.
