Hey guys, I recently picked up a 2015 M235i xDrive and I noticed some things that I need clarification on. I can't tell if my car was coded by the previous owner or not. My car does the following-

TPMS system shows PSI and Temp.

Auto start stop is disabled from the get go whenever I start the car.

Not sure if this is standard or not but when I hold down the unlock button all my windows and sunroof roll down.

Is there an easy way to tell if my car was coded? I find it weird that they would code it but not turn off the disclaimer and other various little things.

Whats everyone's thoughts?

My 2016 M235i came the same way when new from the dealer. I added more coding after but it was weird it came with some coding already

I guess it makes sense tho, your paying for more of a car so they flip few code switches and get slightly more features. It's free for them and makes it look better.

temp started coming from factory around 2015.
auto start is controlled by the button above the start button, has nothing to do with coding...
unlock windows is standard but you can't close them in the same way with the lock button unless you code it

Most luxury line cars all have the auto rolldown with button hold on FOB. In fact, my 2011 E92 had it way back then. It's been a standard for a very long time but not many people know o fit. Heck, my 2007 Nissan Altima had it.
