@harrympower I don't remember but I think it is 315 mhz in the USA and another number in Europe and Australia. Check the realoem website or use google search for the information and it will come up.

@harrympower Yeah the new E90 mirrors fits the E46 and older BMW cars 3, 5, 7, Z and X series after 2001. It will not work with convertibles. I don't know what car you have so I can't say but if your car is in the 2001 and newer range and is NOT a convertible then it should be plug and play. I have the complete write up and DIY for doing the project. USE GOOGLE SEARCH for "homelink compass mirror retrofit E46" and it will come up.

@olaf2046 you sure the convertible wom't work? what is differend on these cars/mirors then de coupe? i drive an 2006-5 m3 cabrio and is oem fitted whith homelink? and love to upgrade with the kompas. and i have fitted another e36 m3 cabrio whith the kompas mirror,.....so you say the e46 conv is differend?

[olaf2046]

@harrympower The parts number on the realoem parts database are different for the mirrors between cabrios and non-cabrios. I think the mirrors mount base on the windshield is different. I'm not sure but you can check the parts number. BMW does make homelink compass mirrors for both cabrios and non-cabrios so you will find a mirror that will fit your cabrio.

Question: If the car is parked outside your home, can someone break into it and use the homelink to open your garage door if the car is not running?

[olaf2046]

@leslieannbutler I just tried it. Left my windows down, locked the car in front of the garage and stuck my hands in there and pushed the homelink buttons. First of all my BMW Alarm came on the minute I stuck my hand thru the window. Second none of the buttons worked. Even with the car is unlock the buttons do not function unless the key is in the ignition or BMW's power accessories for a few minutes after the key is removed from the ignition before the car is locked and armed. Good question!

can i buy the old mirror from you?

[olaf2046]

@VADER325is I sold it to someone either on eBAy or the E46fanatics BMW forums classified a year ago...wasn't it you?

It's the door-open warning signal. Typical US-spec function. A Euro-spec car will not have it.

That's the first sound, don't know about the second one though.

[olaf2046]

@1D0N The first sound is the sound that the car makes when the door is open and the key is in the ignition. The second beeping you hear right as I start the car is my Blackerry 8900 email alert sound.

[olaf2046]

@unoparatu The key in the ignition then as I start the car my Blackberry is beeping to say I got an email
