Fob Mirror Fold & Voice Control Destination

New Member, I've searched but did not see this issue so starting this thread.

2018 X5

Two changes with the iDrive.

1. No longer have the option of mirrors folding in when holding lock using the keyfob. Mirrors will fold when touching via Comfort Access. The below option used to appear in iDrive but is now gone.

"CAR"
"Settings"
"Doors"
"Fold mirrors in when locked"
Locking the vehicle folds in the exterior mirrors automatically. Unlocking the vehicle automatically folds out the exterior mirrors.

2. No longer have voice control option to speak a destination in navigation quick search.

I did have the DME unlocked and flashed the vehicle with BM3. Is there anything else that is likely to be causing these changes or was it the flash?

I checked online with the VIN and BMW states the software is up to date.

The only thing I can think of, is that the latest update would remove that feature; however, that would not make sense? I would check with the dealer.

To the OP…did you buy this X5 new or used? If used, did you code the mirror folding or did it have this feature since the day you purchased used?

Only asking because the original or previous owner may have coded the mirror fold-in upon locking feature…and when you had the DME unlocked & flashed…it erased the coding.

If you have coding software like ESYS or Bimmercode…try recoding the feature to see if it comes back.

In regard to VC (voice commands) did you lose that feature all together or was this programmed into one of the 1-8 programmable buttons? Asking because I’m not sure what your mean by “navigation quick search”. If you press the talk/microphone button and say “NAVIGATION “ after hearing the tone…does iDrive start asking you for info…or does it not respond at all?

Used and I did not code nor doing I have any coding software...yet.

Agree could have been erased on flashing.

Voice commands still work but I used to be able to go to nav and do a voice quick search where I would say "Starbucks" and the navigation would list a bunch of nearby locations.

Not sure if these are "factory" features or if the only reason I had was because someone else coded.

Thanks
