Auto Stop Start

Neil McRae · 10-08-2013, 12:44 AM

asked the dealer to enable the car to remember last auto stop start settings which I thought was an options now. they have come back and said it's not an option. just wondered if anyone here in the UK have had a dealer set this up?

Not heard of anyone managing to get this sorted - will ask my contact at my dealer and see if he knows if it is possible,

Failing that, you could buy a coding cable and software and have a go at changing the parameters yourself. Seems to be quite a few threads offering advice on how to change some of the 'software' on the car.

According to BMW: All new BMW M models have the “Last user mode” as the default setting from production.

MY 2014 vehicles produced from March 2013 to and including June 2013 will be delivered to the dealer with “Last user mode” as the default setting.

If yours does not have the last user mode enabled, point your dealer to SI B12 15 12

Attached is the official response.

Only just spotted this post, so missed this for the break-in service. My August 2013 build car does not have the 'last user mode' set as default

mine either, but when it goes in for 1200 i'll be asking for it!

Neil.

I have the 1200 this week and have asked for it. If (as I suspect in advance) dealer turns round and says "que? Cannot do", I can do it myself through coding CAS => 3000 => TC_MSA_MEMORY => aktiv. Or if want it off permanently:
CAS => 3000 => TC_MSA_DEFAULT_OFF => aktiv

Neil McRae · 10-20-2013, 02:37 PM

yes me also but will get them to do it.

rjn21 · 10-26-2013, 05:41 AM

Dealer programmed the stop start to be in the same status as it was at last shut down.

The code change they made was CAS => 3000 => TC_MSA_MEMORY => aktiv

Dealers don't have e-sys software so done through a PUMA submission to AG with VIN no and that emails them back a work plan when they connect the car to ISTA.

However, they would not do it as a warranty claim so charged £50. I don't care about the £50, but if I'd known in advance, I would have done it myself in 2 mins for free.

I had to autograph an invoice to say that I understood fuel consumption would be increased (duh....) and that BMW AG had been informed and that to sell the car I had to revert it to standard again.

Save yourself the faff and cost and DIY it in the CAS module. I had to explain in detail and give them the SIB to get them to do it.

that was the story I got back from my dealer also.

Hi, what dealer was this please? I can't find any local one who are willing to do it. I don't mind £50 to do it officially (Apologies for resurrecting old thread)

Why don't you get it coded remotely

If you need a cable I have one
