Well, I noticed a few things recently with the z and thought I may have one of those electrical gremlins hiding somewhere and this morning it looks to be true.
1) my windscreen wipers always work, but sometimes they pause or park in an unusual place, then start working again.
2) when pressing the unlock button on the key, it doesn't unlock. Well, only the fuel filler flap does. This seems the be the case with both keys. Once I let myself in with the key, I can't open the passenger door and the interior lock switch is inoperative.
3) the one touch function for the passenger window works intermittently but only going down, never up.
Normally, this would just be an inconvenience, but I have a box fitted on my car as part of my finance agreement. Once a month, after the repayment has left my bank account, they text me a 9 digit code. I use a wireless remote to enter the code to the car, which removes the starter motor inhibit. The theory is, if you don't pay your repayments, the car is immobilised and the finance company can collect if you fail to pay. It's all well and good, and causes no problems. Unless of course, your cubby box between the seats remains locked with the input remote stored inside.......
Anyone know how I can break into this without damaging anything? I can't get the car into BMW until 02/09/13 and unless I put the code in before 19:00 this evening, my car is immobilised.
