Coding out the double pull on the door handle
Hey everyone,
I know the double pull on the door handle is a child safety feature, but it drives me and passengers crazy. I asked the dealer to code it out and he said no (because of safety). Is this something I can do (DIY)? Thanks |

Double pull is first to unlock and push the lock pin up, then to open the door |

makes no sense as a safety feature either... you would think a kid would be smart enough to pull the handle twice anyway |

BMW genius not much help.

I'm sorry if I sound pretentious or anything but make sure the lock pin is UP meaning it is unlocked before you try next time. |

Ditto BentZeros experience - I coded unlock with engine off. When I hit the stop button, it only takes one pull to open the door. If the passenger tries to get out while engine is still running, it takes a double pull.
@Gabrola, very little in a modern BMW is a "purely mechanical mechanism", even things like this that you would absolutely think would be purely mechanical. |

However, the door handle (the opening mechanism not the locking mechanism) is purely mechanical. The door handle is simply a manual pulling mechanism on a Bowden cable, there is nothing electronic about it, not even a sensor. |

Then the first pull of the door handle releases the latch because it's already unlocked. If the car is still running and you want to exit it's still a double pull.

This and the speed in BC are my two favorite coding changes. Oh, and turn off radio when opening the door. Now i only press the stop button once.

And ride around with unlocked doors? :/ I believe someone has brought this up before. Idk. I've coded it and thus I'm a super happy boy.
