DRL Disable

Lodaka · 06-02-2008, 07:57 PM

Does anyone know of a problem with a DRL disable at a shop (2007 E90 335i)? I went to a shop to get this done with their machine and the guy told me that their diagnostic machine when trying to disable DRL made an error and didn't work. Is anyone aware of this problem? Or, the better question is... if anyone knows a place that does it for this car? I am just very confused...

you do it through your cluster

SGxi · 06-02-2008, 09:16 PM

Canadian cars cannot be disabled through the cluster...

You will need a shop with the euro programming to disable the DRL...

Any other place than Nixon's? If you guys had yours done, where was it?

dzenno · 06-03-2008, 12:23 AM

i want to know this as well, anyone in Toronto done it?

Excuse me for asking but why do you want to disable your DRL?

Hmmm...not sure why it did not work. This is the first case I have heard of anyone having problems disabling DRL through software.

So that people who have upgraded their angel eyes can drive with just their angels eyes on without the DRL on (by switching on the parking lights). Looks much nicer. It's a cosmetic thing...as many of our mods are. If you don't disable DRL, then angel eyes are only on when the DRLs or xenons are on...

The cheaper way is to just pull the DRL bulb...but you lose the flash-to-pass capability. And you get a bulb out error which is kinda ghetto.

Thanks. I thought of that but my question was directed at the OP.

PS Dealer may reprogram yours if you go in for repair and they notice your DRL is "not working"

Yes, that would be exactly the reason why.

Any SW would/should/could reset the default DRL menus.

tybon · 07-22-2010, 02:57 PM

I have 07 328i and the guys at Nixon couldn't disable my DRL either. Maybe the 07 E90's cannot be disabled?

SGxi · 07-22-2010, 03:09 PM

Dim Sum pointed out only MY2006 cars can be done apparently.

Belarus · 07-22-2010, 09:25 PM

The shop in Oakville might be able to do it for $20

SGxi · 07-22-2010, 09:30 PM

Hmm, it was $50 when I did mine, guess either they charged me more or I forgot it was $20...

ganastas · 07-22-2010, 09:36 PM

I got a email from the Bavarian Tech guys they said their Pro setup will disable them. but not the hobby one. thats 700 plus bucks... I tried rmp over the phone they said not the 07's Where in Oakville for 20 bucks lol

Read the 2nd page, apparently $20 was a mistake.They were saying up-to $300

That's insane.
