2016 228i without Comfort Access

simoneves · 11-07-2015, 10:29 AM

Will somebody please confirm exactly what tricks are possible with the keyfob with regards to rolling down the windows or opening the moonroof? It's one feature I really miss from my 2010 128i (w/o CA) and I hope the 228i can at least do that much. What else can the 228i do *with* the CA option, and alternatively what, if anything, can be coded to work even if you *don't* have it? Thanks in advance! ?

open window/mirror/roof stock
close window/mirror/roof can be coded

My windows/sunroof can close by holding lock down.

But i don't think i have automatic mirrors... It's not on my door either? I just dont have the option is that it? If so do you know what its called? I'd really like to get it done

Yes but not for US cars

probably called electric mirrors, options vary by region.

I probably could have worded my question more clearly. To clarify...

Without CA: opening is standard, closing can be coded
With CA: opening and closing is standard

What about opening the door without pressing the key? Is this a code thing or actual part missing?

I test-drove a 2015 M235i with CA the other day, and I could *not* close the windows and roof from the fob, only open them (like on my old 128i).

Seems you *do* need to code to allow closing too... which is fine...
