Comfort access
- Thread starter Menacing
- Start date
Easiest way to tell is to see whether passenger side door handle has touch sensitive locking zoon with those three or four lines, just as driver side handle.
If the handle is the same, then the car should have comfort access on both side. In this case, one thing you can try is to unlock and lock using driver side handle comfort access first. Then, try to use passenger side door handle comfort access and see whether it can then lock and unlock the car.
My car, for a certain period of time, did this. I personally think it's related to power management. I have hard wired the dashcam and it's in constant recording mode, which draws some noticable amount of current from the battery. The car's battery management system does not like any drainage outside its control so it's very keen to shut down things especially when the car hasn't been driven for many days. If I connect the CTEK charger to the car, this then never happen as the car can detect external charger is connected and just monitor all the current flow to update its own power status record.

I tried the code reader and nothing like it came up.
I did the BMW "Request data archive" and it had quite a few errors.
Amongst others:
64,804127 front passenger door
64,804130 Outside door handle electronics
64,804136 Central locking system rocker switch in front passenger door

I have it booked in.
Thank you for your help.
