3)

a) It?ll brake in emergency only.. DO NOT TEST IT.

b) No adaptive cruise available.

c) Press down on iDrive controller (when backing up) it remembers last setting (I think).

4) Yep. Small can under trunk floor, may help some situations.

5) I don?t have wireless charging or Apple Car Play

6) Button on the door opener unit, Home link button the a few seconds.

Hold remote button and Homelink button until you see rapid flashes in Homelink (takes like 10 seconds). Test Homelink on gate.

djMpower I am going to order a universal remote from Amazon and give it a try. I'll let you know how I make out. Thanks!
