f10 parking brake control fault, handbrake will engage and disingage when I clear the fault code. Then fauly comes back on within a few minutes and then the handbrake will not work. Has anyone changed then brake control unit before and did you have to get it coded to the car?

Morning Aaron

I think you need a BMW specific Scan done someone with Autologic, Foxwell, or best ISTA/INPA so the individual control units can be interrogated. The Parking Brake issue could be the Parking Brake unit or it could be related to an ABS fault from what I have read. I repaired the Hand brake unit on a friends Range Rover Sport on that the RR Dealer wanted mega bucks to fit a new unit and set it up?? We removed it and found it was jammed with mud/crud and stuff the activation gear was stripped we cleaned everything, the main gear was stripped. He found a new main gear online I fitted it greased everything with a spray grease (Motor Cycle Chain Lube) and sealed it up.

The interesting thing is the TRW fault that shows I believe is related to the airbag ecu's if it is if the car thinks you have crashed and triggered an air bag it makes an Emergency call.

If you haven't got access at workI would check the register of BMW Specialists and find one in your area, they should be able to carry out a full diagnostic check and give you a print out. Then you can make some decisions for what it is worth I don't think it will need coding.

      Folding mirrors

      Morning Damion I would say yes to the software update (but a Dealer will charge £££) this should be in iDrive try My Vehicle, Vehicle Settings, Doors/Key, then scroll down to mirrors and check Fold Mirrors when Locked If that doesn't work you need help from someone with a BMW capable diagnostic package (ISTA/INPA) to check if it is in a hidden menu. Be aware BMW are making it harder and harder to tinker with the cars mainly after 2019 year so you should be OK Dave

      Centre console iPhone charger

      Morning Rob His was in the car when he brought it and is OEM (car is BMW 330e 2019) apparently works well with his iPhone but not with our daughters Android phone. You could talk to your Dealer but make sure your wallet is in a protected spot 😁 as I have know idea of cost ££££. If BMW are fitting them then there will be Retro fit kits out there from the Far east so worth looking at the Auction sites but I have no knowledge of quality other than the screen in the X5 failed and I replaced it with a complete Android unit from Ebay at less than a 1/3rd of the BMW quote. Truly plug and play allows switching between the OEM CiC and Android gives better GPS and many other programs and has been totally reliable for the last 3 years (that's killed it ) Me I don't spend long enough in the car for my phone to need charging these days 😅 While the X5 has Android Auto and Carplay I have to say like a lot of gadgets they are rarely used. Bluetooth is the only thing I see as an essential Good Luck with the search for a solution Dave

      Folding mirrors

      My X6M has folding mirrors, operated from the normal button, situated on the drivers door arm rest. They don’t fold in when I set the alarm, having read the manual, there’s a setting in the idrive to activate this function but when I scroll down the menu, this option isn’t there. Can the software be updated to add this feature, surely if the button is there and the mirrors are folding ones there must be a solution, or am I missing something completely Thanks in advance
