Cheapest Coding Options for e53

Hi there
I'm looking to alter my 2005 x5 3.0d so the doors all unlock on the first press of key (currently drivers first then second press all doors) and also change it so the side mirrors fold in when I lock the car. Does anyone know what would be the cheapest way of making these changes.
I looked into purchasing the BMW Carly app and the OBD adpater they sell, would this be my cheapest and best option?
Cheers
Nial

As I know for e53 u can not just directly to code it for side mirrors... u need to install seperate wires...I wanted to do the same, but change my mind...because in cold winters that option is no good...
It is better when u change unlocking for all doors with one press of button... it is more easy when u go to the car with some body else or with family just open and that's it!

I have the cheap eBay bmw scanner 1.4. My mirrors don't fold at all so I don't know if it works using the scanner, however, I was reprogramming "auto-close" and a few other features yesterday and it does give the open to fold in mirrors....

Cheapest would be to buy an ebay cable then download the software online for free.

Nial,
If you are up on the Sunny Coast you can borrow my laptop and BMW scanner 1.4 or try Carly app on my phone with bluetooth adaptor. My doors have always opened with one press and I don't have folding mirrors so no first hand coding experience with either of those options.
