Locking issues battery related?

shortie · 11-15-2022, 10:52 AM

Over the last week my 2010 X5 has developed some strange issues.

Sometimes the car locks as normal on the remote.

Sometimes i lock it and the hazards start flashing straight away but if i unlock and lock again its fine.

Sometimes i lock it and thr hards flash and the alarm siren sounds ever so quietly that you can just hear it. Again unlock and locl a couple of times and it is fine.

Is this likely to be the battery or something else?

Hidden menu show 12.1 on the battery test.

I have a basic code reader and the datastream said 14.5 with the engine running.

Not sure if this is ok figures?
