  1. I looked around for seat stuff... 5series.net One thread was a dead motor... replaced motor fixed it - PITA removale install, seat out on the floor. Same thread another guy was complaining of the same symptom I have, motor running, no movement/adjustment but, the fix was not discovered or helped along. I'm looking in other places now, have not come up with anything yet!
  2. OK I tried to run the wide backrest seat button a bunch to see if it can recognize a wide setting... it cannot. The silly seat persists... it is not moving, not recognizing the current position and runs on, times out and runs on again until the battery goes flat. I have the fuse out now and it is reliably starting etc. I will look at removing the seat next to see inside WTF? Probably something simple?
  3. OK I have some new info... The non-start issue was simply the battery going dead after about three days of silly seat running. I pulled fuse #14 and the seat does nothing, no motion and no heat, battery stays charged and we are running OK The offending control is the backrest width adjustment. I put fuse#14 in & I can move the backrest width controls and there is no response from the seat, the motor runs, both ways, it is wide, no narrow motion. If I leave the fuse #14 in place, every time I open the door, the motor runs. As if it is not engaged to anything anymore and seeking a setting? A screw jack that has run off the end of the screw? Sensor gone bad? Are the width adjustments mechanical or air bag tech? I will try running the widest setting on the control and see if the motor will stop running, match up the requested wide setting with the reality wide setting. I'm not too worried about the loss of seat motion but, it's getting cold here in Toronto and I like my seat heater! Heat seater! Cheers Clive
  4. Thanks Dave, After playing with the controls for a bit, I'm going to go with stuck control. They seem a bit tacky like something was spilled in there (not me) but I did manage to get no response out of a few motions to begin with... I'm going to get the panel out and see if the things can be cleaned rather than replaced (Chime in if you have been here, done this?) I have the car starting and the power seat is not functional so it looks like I can rely on it being a runner again. I will let you know how we do shortly! Cheers Clive
  5. Hi ALL, 2010 535xi wagon having a problem with the driver's seat power stuff. Every time I open the driver's door, the seat has a motor which runs, if I touch any control on the seat, the motor stops. There is no motion, so I am not sure what it is trying to do? I have had no start issues and now leaving a trickle charger on it to keep the battery up. I pulled fuse #14 and stopped the seat from reacting to the door opening. I tried to fiddle with the memory #1 #2 to see if it is trying to set a seat position? I have two very different settings for both #1 and #2 and it moves to those positions correctly by request and stops. Fun fun fun BMW! Thanks in advance Clive
  6. Hi SuzukiBoy2 I have a Carly and I'm looking for the software to run it, sending PM
  7. I have an INPA download from Bimmerfest.com - installed with cable etc. I pulled out all the stuff that came on the burner DVD (+Crack) because it made me nervous. Now I'm really scared! Going to have a look and see what I can see... blind leading the blind! Other than all the GONGs, BONGs and Blnken Lights (No spitzen sparken!) I am really enjoying my new ride and I successfully added some trailer lighting without smoking anything and ran down the highway with my dirtbike for a nice sunny day ride in the snow!
  8. I got OBDfusion working on my phone today It will delete/remove the codes, I did that and now I can start with a clean slate. Trying to figure out INPA but, best I can figure is the "copy" I have came with the cable and it is for XP? Is there a preferred website for downloading INPA? I have windows 7... I assume it would be 5.02 with EDIABAS 6.47?
  9. EYUP, our speed limit is 100kph - I see 100 quite often but it's 100mph! A non-event basically, good bones on these cars! The TOYOs really go in the snow too...
  10. I am going for some windows support - I don't have the windows disc(s) I think my cable/DVD combo are suspect so, I am looking for a INPA/INSTA download online to try I think I have 2 sensors #1 precat Bank#1 and Bank#2 - 2 sensors #2 Bank#1 and Bank#2 = 4 sensors total? My understanding is: the front 3x cylinders are treated as bank#1 and separate from the rear 3x cylinders bank#2 each has it's own exhaust(?) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I bought the CARLY bluetooth dongle and loaded the app - it will let me do some functions on my phone. (Arrives in a week or so...) Another learning curve! https://app.mycarly.com/ I ended up doing an "Italian Tuneup" today - heading across Toronto on the super-slab hwy401 I ended up cruising at 100mph After some minutes of that, the check engine light went out and I checked the codes - down to this now Kind of encourages: "Drive it like you stole it!"
  11. BTW I have INPA 5.02 EDIBIAS 6.47 (+Crack) I followed the README but, it says: app32.dll is missing -> Try reinstalling etc.
  12. i'M guessing 5.02 INPA will run on Windows 7 but, this is a burned on DVD copy with cluge notes I can't get working... Is there an online download that we know works? I installed the DEEP OBD app on my phone but, I select bluetooth and it refuses to connect to my BT-Dongle! Fun Fun Fun!
  13. 1st problem I ran into after getting INPA/K-CAN EDIABAS cable and software... My laptop Lenovo Thinkpad is running Windows 7 (Ya I'm old and unsupported!) and I think it won't run this stuff for Windows 10? Correct me if I'm wrong but, now I have a cable, I'm looking for the correct software INPA for Windows 7 Next I saw there is DEEP OBD for Android, I have one of those, downloaded and now I am going to try that either hardwire and or with bluetooth dongle. I have a check engine now and getting messages from TORQUE but, I can't do anything about them! A bunch of sensor rich/lean/stuck - learning to swear in German!
  14. Roger that! I will look for the vacuum stuff thanks!
  15. I put a piece of black tape on the TPM light, I am looking for ways to kill the bongs. It took me a few hours to pair my bluetooth phone to the car - newby at iDrive navigating... getting better. Never had a car that hooks to my phone, baby steps. I have a sensor code: P0138 Powertrain O2 sensor circuit high voltage (Bank 1 Sensor 2) I have cleared it a few times and it comes right back - used TORQUE to find the code and clear the code. I guess I need to get a sensor and have a look. Cheers Clive
