Sunroof Initialization - For BMW's
Vložit
- čas přidán 22. 04. 2022
- If your sunroof moves is small increments or not at all, it may need to be initialized. I'll show you how. It's super easy!
-Works for all BMW's from 2006 - Present.
-Car shown. 2018 X3
-The sunroof control module called the SHD is built into the electric motor. Initializing teaches the SHD the end stop positions by analyzing the amperage increase. Once initialized, not only does the system operate with one touch operation, but it also has anti-trap feature. If while using the sunroof you happen to get fingers or a limb in the way, the SHD senses an amperage spike and will back off in the opposite direction to prevent harm.

You bet!
I did it on my G12 and it’s worked! Thanks man 🎉
Nice work!
Hell yeah this worked on my 2019 bmw x6 … thank you!
Great to hear!
Thanks, Mike!
I did this recently for my wife’s E84 due to flaky BMW battery with a bad cell (only two years old).
She couldn’t get the shade to close…drove her crazy!
I was surprised not to find this in diag software. It needed to be done via the physical button as you demonstrated.
Btw new ‘new’ battery solved the initial oddity with the sunroof and other odd cluster icons appearing intermittently.
👋🏻
That's great news! Glad you were able to solve your issue. Appreciate you visiting my channel and subscribing.
I did exactly that and still nothing? Is there another option?
I watched 4 other videos and this is the only one that told me to have the car running. Everyone else said to just have the car on but not started. Thank you so much 😂
Glad I could help
This worked! Thanks!
Glad it helped!
wow, saved me so much money and aggravation👊👍
That worked thanks!!
You're welcome!
After trying all the steps, unfortunately, they didn't work for my G80 330i. I visited the nearest BMW dealership, and even they couldn't resolve the issue. Eventually, they diagnosed a motor problem and replaced it at a cost of R12000 (approximately USD 630). Fortunately, I am still covered by the motorplan, so I didn't have to bear the expense. Thanks Mike much appreciated
Oh dang. Luckily they covered it.
Thanks!!!!
Welcome!
Thank you sir 🫡
You are welcome
It worked for me but I have to hold it the entire time
Appreciate your input.
I am on Canada and i heard cold weather is a factor to trying this, is that accurate?
I'm not sure about that.
for me it goes down and up and stops working
I was experiencing the same issue. After trying all the steps, unfortunately, they didn't work for my G80 330i. I visited the nearest BMW dealership, and even they couldn't resolve the issue.

I hade problems with sunshade and I tried do reset like u did in the video but know I have more problems. Now the roof just want to tilt and nothing else works. The heard some clicking noise when I tried to reset and after that I got more problems 😢
It sounds like something is broken in there. 😩
I have the same problem. Did you resolve the issue?
It says the initialization has failed
I tried so many times and it didn’t work. Do you know anything else I can do? 😫😫
it could be binding in the track, or the sunroof cassette may be worn out. Preventing it from initializing. If it isn't moving at all then you may have a blown fuse, or bad motor assembly.
