Workshop mode
 Featured on BIMMERPOST.com But I just stumbled to one strange thing... I tried remote parking. When I start connecting the key with the car, after few seconds I get an massage "This function is not available in workshop mode". So logical question is, what the hell is workshop mode  If no one knows I will go to BMW on Monday, but I'm curious to try this function ASAP |

According to this post,
"Workshop mode disables the cabin lights so they are unaffected by opening and closing doors. To activate it, turn on the interior lights, then press and hold the master light switch (in the roof console) until the lights turn off. The doors may now be opened and closed repeatedly without turning on the cabin lights, while you work in & around the car (hence the name). To resume normal operation the lights must be turned on manually at the master switch or by turning on the ignition. It's a handy feature that's been around since at least the E36. It avoids unnecessary battery drain & lamp on/off cycles during extended work periods where you might be in & out of the car a lot." |

It has been fixed.
In the BMW they were very very surprised by the message They don't know what "workshop" mode is. I think there was like 10 people looking at it with strange facial expressions At the end they called BMW and connected it to the computer. After that they solved solved the problem within a few minutes. |
