JaseNZ 53 Report post Posted April 28, 2009 I purchased one of those Carsoft (Knock off version) last week and it turned up today. Thought i would post some pics and take it for a whirl. It worked just as i thought it would. The Module not responding is just because well i don't have that option in my car. Even tested out the live data and every page worked perfectly. Anyway heres a couple of pics. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

darkwolf 0 Report post Posted April 28, 2009 I'm guessing this is to do with the door locks and heater running off the same fuse. But would be cool if the door locks did have an inbuilt heater - you know to stop them freezing over. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bravo 35 Report post Posted April 28, 2009 Some cars do have heated door locks for that reason. In the winter, if your locks are frozen, many E30's had a feature where you lift the door handle and this turns on a lock heater to unfreeze the locks.

martyyn 2 Report post Posted April 28, 2009 (edited) What Bravo said, my 750iL had them....aswell as heated washer jets and a heated front windscreen Very handy in the frosty mornings and I think the door locks were triggered by the remote, but I could be wrong on that.

JaseNZ 53 Report post Posted April 28, 2009 (edited) OK so where/who did you get it from and the cost? might have to wait tho as the place I work for has been placed in recievership LWR Sorry to hear that, There is alot of it going around at the moment, Damn recession. I got mine from trade me, I ended up paying $240 because i was a dumb *uck and did not use the buy now of $220, Some may say its a steep price to pay but compared to the orginal Carsoft version its alot cheaper. And anyway it was my birthday prezzie to myself (well birthday is next month i just wanted one ) Edited April 28, 2009 by presso Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
