E70 Key Fob question
I just bought a 2013 X5 XDrive 35i. It came with two key fobs. They appear identical. Both have working buttons for the doors and tailgate. However, one will start the car while in my pocket and the other needs to be inserted into the slot on the dashboard. Is this standard? Does something need to be done to make the second key fully functional?

The only thing I can think of is that perhaps one of them has a dead battery? But then it shouldn't auto unlock the vehicle either. Otherwise AFAIK they should be identical.

Hey guys. Bought a 2009 X5 a few weeks ago. Key was dead but the dealer just told me it would charge up on my drive home, it didn't.
I have a non-comfort access key that will not remotely unlock/lock or pop the hatch. While it does start the car once I put it in the charging port, that is the only function it serves as I have to use the blade to lock the car. I do not see a low key battery warning. Do I need to get a replacement key? Or just have it reprogrammed? Thanks! |
