Anyone that has any pointers to make this work would be greatly appreciated.

I had to play with the above suggested travel distances to make it work. Also I remember at first it won't budge, until I used the spare remote to lock/open.

It is a tricky feature. If you adjust your seat manually after power off, it won't work. When the seat is moving after you close the door, if you engage the gearbox, it will stop. But once you get the hang of it, it works great!

Nope. No luck. Annoying.

My understanding is if your driving position is outside the range set by the moving distance parameters, it will not work. Hence the need to play with the coding parameters. I changed the backward movement all the way back, leaving only enough space for my briefcase (as I usually don't have backseat passengers). Also, my driving position isn't very close to the steering wheel.

Hope this helps.

BMW coding is very particular. In addition to what others said, the personalized key profiles can make a difference. Making any manual adjustments can also interrupt movement. Also, some report if electronics are coded to turn off with drivers door opening, it can cause issues.

Got mine working this morning... Put the rear position to 25.5cm and reduced the rear passenger leg distance. Give me plenty of room to get out.

Damn, that's slamming it all the way back, unless you are 4'2". Be careful for passengers getting in back there!

No passengers to worry about. It's my play car, only person ever in it is my wife... I always carry a knife on my right front pocket, I've done some damage to the bottom of steering wheels on previous cars extracting my self. If you ever notice when we climb out of a low car, you tend to rotate your right hip upwards.

I got that damn clip caught on my Porsche's steering wheel and did a number to the leather. Cost me way too much to replace!

After programming this I ran into the same issues as most on here where it appears to not work. After some reading I gathered I am sitting too far back already using the following values typically used for the programming:

EAH_VERFAHRWEG_SLV_PHYS = 00,28 (40mm)[Default: 00,3C(60mm)]
EAH_SCHUTZFREIRAUM_HINTEN_SLV_PHYS = 00,3C (60mm)[Default: 00,64(100mm)]

Here is what I went though to set this up for me and my F80 6MT.

Reference: http://f80.bimmerpost.com/forums/sho...5&postcount=44

EAH_VERFAHRWEG_SLV_PHYS = The desired move distance(mm) you want the seat to move back.
EAH_SCHUTZFREIRAUM_HINTEN_SLV_PHYS = The distance(mm) from all the way back at which the seat will stop, even if the desired move distance has not been reached.

How to find your specific values:
1. Move the seat to normal driving position.
2. Measure the amount of exposed rail behind the seat. Note this value and add 1" to this measurement or 25mm. When all the way back the seat extends 1" past the rail end.

3. Manually move seat backwards to desired getting out position. Take measurement again and note this value.

After these steps you can calculate out your needed coding values:
EAH_VERFAHRWEG_SLV_PHYS = (Value from Step 2) - (Value from Step 3)
EAH_SCHUTZFREIRAUM_HINTEN_SLV_PHYS = Value from Step 3 (100mm or less, just be mindful of backseat passengers)

Distance Values
mm Inches Hex
100 3.93701 00,64
90 3.543309 00,5A
80 3.149608 00,50
70 2.755907 00,46
60 2.362206 00,3C
50 1.968505 00,32
40 1.574804 00,28
30 1.181103 00,1E
20 0.787402 00,14
10 0.393701 00,0A
0 0 00,00

This testing process worked for me after coding variables:
1. Door closed, Seat at driving position, Ignition ON
2. Turn Ignition Off, open door. Seat moves back
3. Close door, Turn Ignition ON. Seat moves up

Hope this helps someone out.

Any clue if there is a way to code this to move reward on ignition off instead of door open?

I push one of the seat memory buttons to move the seat back. That way, I can stretch out in the car when waiting for someone. Plus, I've coded radio-off upon exit, so I don't want to open the door.

Dang, I applaud the effort.

[mstevens]

I had mine working, then I managed to code some things successfully that had previously not worked for me. Something I did broke this. It clearly is fairly finicky, but it is a nice feature so I think warrants some ongoing effort to get it working.

Bringing this thread back to life to ask a related question to this mod....

I have had this mod for 6 months now and love it (and so do my seats, too ). But I am curious about one thing, when I rode in a 5 Series GT with this feature from the factory, I seem to remember that during engine cranking, the seat would not start moving until after the engine started. In my car with this coded, the split second between when I press the engine start button and the engine starts to crank, the seat moves a small fraction. It then stops during the engine cranking, and then continues to move after the engine is started.

So my question is, is there an additional parameter that will cause a "pause" so that the seat won't start to move until the engine is started and running? Having the seat motor start, then stop after a split second during engine cranking, then start again probably is not causing any additional significant wear on the seat motor. But from a smooth operation perspective, it seems to me that it would be best if the seat did not start to move forward until after the engine is started and running.

I just coded this last night and this post worked well.

Does anyone have parameters for adjusting the seat height at the same time. I would like to lower my seat when I get out of my X5.
