    I own a 2015 BMW X5 35D here in the US. I discovered holding down the unlock does roll my windows down and sunroof open and holding down the lock rolls them back up so that’s cool! I don’t have remote start(boo). Holding down the trunk on the key fob does not close it and yes because I have a tow hitch I can’t open it with the leg swipe. Also pressing lock twice doesn’t disengage my motion detecter inside the vehicle.This video is very informative, thank you!

    One more on the panic button. For newer vehicles with pathway lighting, if you press the panic button on the fob for 1 second, the pathway lighting will come on. Obviously don't hold the panic button for more than 1 second (3 actually) or the alarm will sound

    • @BeamerView
      @BeamerView  ปีที่แล้ว

      17 X3's key fob won't too as many as this. It cannot do remote start since the vehicles didn't have it during the time. It cannot roll up the windows, but if you have comfort access, you can hold the door sensor and roll it up that way.

    I would LOVE to know how to permanently disable the car alarm. I've seen a couple of things that say "remove the fuse for it" or "drain the batter" or things like that. But...I'm hoping there's just a setting "turn off car alarm". Is there anything like that? (2021 M3 Comp)

    • @BeamerView
      @BeamerView  ปีที่แล้ว

      No setting for it unfortunately. The only thing close to it would be the feature to turn off the beeping sounds when you lock and unlock the car. I'm not aware of how the fuse box works, but a BMW technician might.

  • @user-fx7tc9uj8y
    @user-fx7tc9uj8y 2 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    Helpful video but I found many of these "tips" do not work on the 2022 330e. BMW needs a "Pet mode" like tesla. I have tried everything to leave the vehicle with AC on, doors locked, and alarm off but there is no way to do it. Even the 2009 hyundai sonata hybrid could do that.

    • @BeamerView
      @BeamerView  2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Understood. Yes Pet mode would make much more sense. Honestly probably 5% of the population knows about the motion detector turn off.
      It would be nice to have a pet mode and then program that to one of the memory keys!

    • @cricketblake7277
      @cricketblake7277 ปีที่แล้ว

    I just got a used 2016 BMW 750i xdrive msport. The trunk open/close (with your foot) doesnt seem to work. Is this an option that the car might not be equiped with or is their a setting that needs to be changed? The car seems fully loaded with all options so it seems strange that this one is not available.

    Great content. You can also open close stop and reverse close or open your your trunk using the trunk button on your keyfob. And if you have bimmercode you can set a delay for the trunk opening. This is for if you have your keys in your pocket to avoid accidentally opening the trunk. 😊

    • @BeamerView

      Im quite sure for the X5s the comfort access feature is standard. Not the case if you had a X3. If you go into settings and go under where it says doors/access you should see comfort access located there.

    • @BeamerView

      It should roll up the windows when holding lock, I'm not sure which country you're from but sometimes I have seen different key functions depending on the country. Here in the US you should be able to with a 2023 model. If not, another thing you could try is holding down the lock sensor on the door handle to see if that works. This method was what worked on the last generations.

      May be an issue with the key fob, I would try to replace the battery. A lot of the times if the key is in the purse it may cut off the signal too. Im sure you checked, but doors and access settings is where you're going find the comfort access feature if it has it.

      Look on the side of the STEERING WHEEL COLUMN. Its the box that holds the steering wheel. On the side you'll see a picture of a key, you can hold your dead key fob there flat and then start the car.
      This means your battery is dead and needs to be replaced on your key.

      You would have to turn off comfort access which is located by searching it in the settings. When you're walking away from the car it's trying to lock it with the key but won't because the car is running. So you would have to turn off the walk away lock feature, you cannot turn off the horn beeps for safety reasons.

    • @BeamerView
      @BeamerView  ปีที่แล้ว

      You can do it in the driver profile menu and going into settings from that page. The best way is when you're setting up the profiles to have the designated key within the vehicle and moving the other one away from the vehicle. But go into settings, keep one key in the car, and you should be able to re-link it.

      5 series G30, has the same issue. In my experience it is the button being pressed accidentally when the fob is in my pocket. It can be coded out so that a much longer press is required, or so that the car has to be unlocked before the tailgate can be opened.

      Couple different ways to do it.
      Digital Key Card:
      This is the credit card looking thing that comes with BMW's, if your BMW came with one that is. You have to make sure this is activated and when it's ready, tap and hold on the door handle to lock and unlock the vehicle. Then take it and place it on the phone holder tray / charging tray, thats located above the cup holders to start the vehicle.
      Many NEW BMW's, 2022 / 2023 come with the Phone Digital Key, which you could use the same way as the card but with the use of your phone. The way you set this up, again if your BMW is compatible with it, is to go into the MY BMW App, you should see a setup menu on the first screen if your BMW is compatible with the Phone Digital Key.
      Hope this helps.

Keep your other key away from the car.
