Successfully coded my E70

Did anybody ever asked the dealer if the could perform the changes? Removing the warning would be out of the question, but for example closing the rear lid with the fob is something that should have been programmed from day 1

I am not going to say that I guaranteed it, but I am pretty sure most of these functions are available elsewhere in the world. But in USA, possibly due to insurance/safety issues, they disable most of these functions. Like windows up from remote, someone might be sticking their head out or arm, and it is a liability issue. Same with trunk, if you are away from the vehicle, you should not be closing the trunk with the remote. And if you are close enough to see it is clear from obstruction, you might as well push the button on the door to close it.

Don't get me wrong.. This is not me saying these stuff, just an assumption why they did not include the functions (or simply disabled them) nein nein nein..!

With the new user-ability to customise settings, there is nothing the dealer can or will do further. Heck, I asked them to adjust the sensitivity of my mother's E90 automatic headlamps and they couldn't do that either.

Might consider coding my pop's X5 if I feel generous (it's a lease); already going to ask someone to code the E90. My X3 was coded back in March so I feel kind of cool motoring around with Euro-spec headlights, getting rid of the key chime was a HUGE improvement, and various other improvements.
