Programming ASS To Last Setting Takes All Day?
I took my car in for annual service (11k miles) today and asked to have the ASS (Auto Start Stop) set to remember the last setting. I had anticipated and been told to expect the car to be ready in 1.5 to 2 hours for the regular service.
The SA told me that the programing would require most of the day to complete as they had to contact BMW for "authorization". She also said that there would be no charge -- but if I wanted the programing reversed, I'd have to pay for that (why would anyone want that?). I don't think she was trying to dissuade me or make excuses... Anyway, just a heads up to expect some extra time if you choose to make this adjustment. |

I'm lost here, what exactly is being done and why does it take most of the day to do?

It takes about 4 hours to complete an ECU software change...no matter what the change is. I'm pretty sure the entire program is over-written, not just a small piece of it. |

Now if I could figure out how to 1) get the car to start off in Eco Pro Mode according to its last setting and 2) have the Eco Pro default to no ASS... |

The first vehicle programming session is free, after that you have to pay. I think I'm going to set up an appointment to have my mirrors auto fold. Luckily for me, the '14 MY has ASS to default to last setting from the factory.
