Glad it helped, welcome to the family! Reach out if you ever have any questions!

Glad it was helpful!

Some countries allow it, here in the US it's not possible. I discovered this after the fact.

It is by coding it

Do you know the code?

You need to disable the motion detector on ferries as well.

Thank you! That's great information!!

Happy to help!

Thanks Andi! Most definitely, I have a system that lets me know if any outstanding question so I make sure to stay on top of it and help people best I can! Reach out if you ever have any questions!

Thanks! You're right, many of these do get overlooked. Since the vehicles have so many different features now, we tend to forget the basics =)

Glad to hear Doc! Reach out if you have questions!

Very welcome!

The Red Bull helps! Thank you!

Happy to help! Reach out if you have any questions!

Never got it to. I’ll try holding it for longer. I’m not sure if it’s a US only thing. Let me know.

Anytime!

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.

Anytime Omar! Glad it helped.

@@BeamerView I just brought a 2019 X5 40i, so I’m learning all the tricks to this wonderful piece of machinery! Lol

@@O-Dini great buy. 2019 was when they did the redesign!

Thanks for watching!

Good choice! Good luck with it and reach out if you ever have any questions!

Anytime! Reach out if you ever have any questions! Haha!!

You are so welcome!

Thanks for the info! I know US vehicles don't have the ability to close the trunk for safety reasons. DIdn't know bimmercode could do that one! Happy holidays!

Thanks for watching!

Thank you!!!

Anytime, thanks for watching!

Never came across that yet. Is yours a UK spec by any chance?

Wilfred, thank you for the Super Thanks. It goes a long way to help the channel grow and I'm grateful for it. Please reach out anytime you may have a question, we would love to help!

Glad to hear it! Reach out if you have questions!

Thank you!!

Will have to try it again, not sure if they made changes recently.

Congrats on the X7, my best friend has one too and they love it. Glad the videos are helping you out, plenty more coming.

My bmw was wrecked drivers side key was lost. No power.. how can Iget in the trunk

Glad you enjoyed it. Reach out if you ever have any questions!

Thats just a transport piece, not necessarily a part you should get. I personally am very careful and never ding any cars but if you end up in a area where you may get dings, I would get these - amzn.to/3P9mmhf

You’re welcome 😊

Hey Farooqp, great question, I've personally never heard of a BMW key fob being relay attacked. I do know there is not a way to disable that as far as I know.

Correct, love this feature.

Good to know. I’ve heard of some other countries outside of the US being able to do it! Probably has to do with the laws.

Ha yes it does.

Good to know, it may be something they have changed, I'll have to test it for the newer vehicles, thanks for letting me know.

Thanks for the visit!

Thanks for the sub! Reach out if you ever have any questions!

Mostly standard on all newer BMWs. You do have to enable it in the settings menus

Haven't tried that one yet but will give it a shot!

lol Thanks form the factory. That's taken off when the car is detailed, sold etc. It's not a true edge guard.

Haha Yes! It’s foam. And it comes off before owner takes the car. I purposely kept it on there for safety purposes.

Thank you! Cheers!

Yes it will turn off after 15 mins, you can also press lock 3 times again to turn off remote start. Unfortunately no fob pocket, closest you'll get to is going to be the cupholders or the cubby right above it.

It goes by country United States laws don’t allow it here for some reason, but I have been hearing that for a UK vehicles it does work! Thanks for the heads up

Thanks Andy! Just hit it yesterday. Soon as it did I went straight to the bar! :)

@@BeamerView good work. You were right when you gave me the advice holding the M button saved the new setting on my m8. Thx man! Next thing I’m trying to figure out is why the dealer sold me PermaPlate on a frozen bmw and PermaPlate doesn’t warranty anything for non-glossy surfaces!

Good to know! I believe it has to do with these US or North American BMWs that don't allow this for some odd reason!

Good point. I believe the only feature you would lose would be the walk away and walk toward feature of course, you may also not be able to close the windows from the lock button on the fob.

Videos won't be coming out for older generation BMW, the demand for those are very low, many of these buttons are shared from car to car though, I would watch some of the others of the newer cars and that may help a bit.

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.

Hey Thunder, most likely will have this same key fob. The only bmw that has the brand new style currently is the iX. Even the i4 has this current generation fob.

Thanks! Maybe it may be something that comes in a future BMW =)

US version BMWs are not allowed to close the trunk with the key fob, has to do with some safety law.

Hey Rick! About 230ft. Thanks for asking!

Can this be added to my bmw?

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!

I second the desire for pet mode. I have two standard poodles that I would like to take with me and be able to leave in the car with the air con on. Tesla has pet mode. BMW needs it too!

Never heard of that one, thanks for mentioning it!

How it worked?

I know they introduced it in 2021.

For opening, i am not aware of yet. I do know by holding down the LOCK button on the key fob you are able to close the doors.

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.

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 i just checked and it isn t 😭

Interesting, may have to do something with the laws of the area you're in. US Vehicles should have them.

@@BeamerView comfort access is a 1000 option in the UK for the i4 for example, it's insane. even my old Ford Focus had keyless entry and it was literally half the price.

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.

Thanks for adding that!

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.

@@BeamerView hey thanks for the reply, I’ve tried everything to no avail, live in the US & was hopeful this would work 🤷‍♂️ I wish you could do both of these functions in the My BMW App, that would be awesome, I don’t even carry the key fob, I do everything thru the app. Thanks again, anyone els have an idea??

Sorry didn't quite understand the question, could you re-phrase it? The vehicle can only unlock from the driver side if the key is nearby.

Oh I see, yes if that's the case then it's more of a process that will require them to do it.

Aw some. It’s been a while since I’ve had my Audi s5. Great car too. Yes can’t believe you all do not have remote start. I hope the electric cars being able to pre condition should help fix that going forward.

My old Acura TSX did this back in 2003. At this point, all vehicles should have the feature.

Remote start is nothing new for BMW. They've had it for a very long time, I'm curious why they aren't offering it in Germany?

@@ninapreciado32128 Unfortunately, it's prohibited by German (and EU) law..

@@GTI_CHHA maybe it's for the better, for safety reasons 🤔

Remote start will not, but the kick to open might. Your vehicle would have to have the keyless entry feature though.

My car has the keyless entry and the fob is exactly the same feature on the video.

@@Pajarraco73 sure kick front to back only in a natural fashion. You have to have the key in your pocket

Canberra Beige/Black SensaTec The 2023's come with the new SensaFin, which is basically sensatec but feel almost as good as leather.

Not as many since these are more for the 2019+ X5s. If you're x5 has comfort access you can hold down the sensor on the door handle to roll up the window. That's one of the different ones.

That's right, US versions don't unfortunately.

Seems to work for some vehicles, just finding this out recently!

Are you referring to this key or the display key? There are two different ones.

@@BeamerView - Hi, thanks for your response. I am referring to the car’s iDrive 7, My BMW App and/or display key. There seems to be no way of checking on the level of battery charge remaining, e.g. 15% alerting the owner to the need to charge the battery to avoid an impending jump start. Merced-Benz offers alerts via their App but evidently BMW has overlooked this important service. Would appreciate your wisdom. Regards,

Key cannot charge, you would have to replace the battery located within, behind the back flap.

Never been any issues with it.

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.

actually figured out it does it automatically. thanks!@@BeamerView

What were you trying to do?

@@BeamerView fold my mirrors in and likewise when I lock the car. My Volvos from 2006- all have had button fold and auto fold. You need your mirrors in for flip sake for a) a tempted vandals and b) falling drunks.

Got it! That will be under your settings, if you go into the doors/key access menu and it should be there to check on.

@@BeamerView thanks m8 but it’s not there and this is a BMW! My quality Volvos had auto folding from my 2006 MY onwards. Easy switching on in the menu.

Hmm I see, try this video maybe - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hLqqkpRyvqrVhZs.html

Hold the new key near the steering wheel column, on the side that has the picture of a key (it's hard to see but it's where you would hold the key if the key fob was dead) and then as you're holding it there continue to press the start button over and over till it starts. Keep your other key away from the car.

Hey Don, thanks for reaching out. I have not seen it yet, but I strongly believe BMW will upgrade the new 7 series key fob. An example of what this will look like is in one of my older videos that I did on the new x7 LCI, video below. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/idOmidOc05zPdqM.html Fast forward to about 1:48 seconds to see the new design. Keep in mind that the shape will be the same but the designs on the key may vary. The iX key is also a similar shape but it doesn't have the fancy M strips that this X7 Msport has. I would personally recommend waiting for the cool key fob covers to come out, they still have yet to release from what i've seen so far, a local dealer should be one of the first ones to get them. They can also run the vin number of the vehicle your boss ordered and check to see if it fits. Your 23 X3 M40i will have the older design which is similar to what you see in this video, congrats on the purchase btw! Lastly, the functions/features on the new key fob and this one remain the same from what i've seen. Simply just a design/layout change. Hope this helps! Subscribe if you have not already and reach out when you have the next question =) PS. Names Dee =)

@@BeamerView , I think it will be much safer if I just get him some floating center disc. Thank you for your help!

Unfortunately not. You can disable it all together but cannot tone it down.
