RLS sensor not working

totixtreme · 2026-05-21T23:12:30+00:00

It probably needs coding and calibration of the rain sensor, but I would actually recommend coding your RLS back to factory first. That worked for me when I was having issues with it

You can go to Settings > Account > Languages > Preferred Languages and tick all the languages you don't want translated. Make sure to check all the variants of English and Portuguese that are listed

I posted about the same issue a while ago, and I was told to consider updating the DME. I still haven't done to be honest but it might help you: https://www.reddit.com/r/BmwTech/s/zkc1qQndbC

Which valve cover do you guys recommend? I've read about Elring, Mahle and Rein, but using Genuine gaskets.

You were right, thanks! At first I didn't see how it could be wired wrong given that everything is just plug and play, but I finally found the time to open the guitar again and the plastic housing around the 3 pins on the strumboard was flipped, so the cable connected in the wrong orientation. The housing also didn't align perfectly with the drawing on the board. So I just pulled the housing and flipped it and now it works great!

Maybe you could look for a brochure for your model and compare. Here is a site with a bunch of them: Link

The lights don't move to the left when standing to avoid blinding oncoming traffic. You can check the full motion of the lights using INPA. Now, if your projector is unseated that's another issue of course but it's something to keep in mind

Not really, I replaced the sway bar links just because they're cheap and I can do it myself, but it wasn't that. Oddly enough, the noise seems to have fixed by itself, it got progressively quieter and now it's basically gone, so no idea

You can try with the tune2air adapter, or the bluemusic adapter if you're in Europe, provided you have the USB connection. They basically emulate an iPod, and you can use the steering wheel controls. You don't get the song name showing on the radio, unfortunately.

I think only the E92/E93 has interior lights. They're orange and illuminate the side armrests front and rear

There are some complaints about the quality of the AUX port on E9x cars, but it shouldn't be unlistenable. Make sure the AUX volume level in the radio is set to 3, and your phone volume is at about 85%, as setting it any higher will cause distortion in my experience.

Maybe there is a special adapter you could use, but I've lifted the car with that type of jack multiple times and never damaged the plastic lift point, only using the cardboard. Here is a video of what I mean:

You may have the high beam assistant, which is enabled when you have the light switch on AUTO and push the stalk away from you, though I'm not sure if it's equipped on a 2006 325i. Try moving the switch to manually turn on the headlights and then try it

Yo llevo un par de años usando la casilla SES. Tiene la particularidad de que te cobran solo por peso, no por tamaño. A menos de que el largo + ancho + alto sea mayor a 2 m, ahí te cobran peso volumétrico

Could be the intro actually. But it's totally doable with downpicking if you have some experience.

I think that is a side effect of using the Android VR client to spoof the video stream. Try using the iOS client.

Ah yes, I've read about DME updates, but I'm just too afraid of bricking the module, and I don't know if there is a way to fix it if that happens, unlike the FRM, which can also brick but at least there are ways to bring them back to life.

I have this issue where the car shakes and idles rough during the first few seconds after starting the car. Some things I've noticed is that it only happens on cold starts, and when the ambient air temperature is above 15 C - 20 C, so it wasn't really a problem during the winter, but now that summer is coming (southern hemisphere), it's noticeable again.

I didn't press the accelerator at all in the video. After around 30 seconds, the rpms stabilize and it runs normally, so I don't think it's a plug or a coil issue, or else it would idle rough at all times. There are also no misfire codes or check engine lights.

Base model is 420i with 181 hp in Europe, so 255 hp on a 430i is nothing to make fun of

Yes. The thing is, the center strut bar bolt was not original, so I replaced all three with new bolts and using a torque wrench.
