If your BMW key isn’t working or isn’t unlocking your car, do not be fooled by BMW dealers telling you the battery is (NON REPLACEABLE) here is a video of mine showing you, the battery CAN be replaced. ua-cam.com/video/-d0TJ-PEbRs/v-deo.html
OK please explain why everybody says BMW are all crap cars . Expensive to buy ,own and maintain . Or it all BS because somebody has some vendetta against German cars .
Here's one that applies to anyone with an automatic! I had a E90 years ago that was stuck in park in my driveway i had to get it in N but it had no power. If you lift the plastic panel around the automatic shifter, there is a key hole. if you insert the key from your FOB, you can unlock your shifter to get the car into neutral. Grat Vid!
Great tip I discovered that you can pull the panel off around your sunroof controls and there's a like an Allen ranch and that can crank it close. Manually if you have no power and it starts raining.
Being able to wind the windows up and down using the blade key was new to me, as was the keyless running. Thanks for spreading the joy about these cars we love
Thank you so much for this video - it's snowing here today and our window stuck 1/2 down. Thanks to you we were able to get the danged thing back up before the car filled with snow!
And fords and vauxhalls I'm almost more shocked when a car doesn't do it. Even my rover 820sli did and and the sunroof. even a 1986 rover 216 vitesse did it
Thanks for the information, I just bought me a 09 BMW 528i and I'm watching all your videos to learn about my BMW, Keep up the good work I really appreciate you live in Utah USA 🇺🇸.
If your car is equipped with comfort access, you can roll the windows up and close the sunroof by tapping the keyhole on the driver door, then hold it down until everything is shut. You need to have the fob with you of course.
I accidentally did that first hidden feature and looked back not knowing I rolled the windows down and thought I went crazy for a min. Thanks for the vid!
lol yeh my windows went down on my series other day after I got out I assumed it was a fault. Now thinking it may be this! Going to go try it out now. great vid ty
Wow! Thank you for this video! I am in South Africa, and just got me this old 2011 E90 323i yesterday, it works for me. Reason for getting onto your channel; my radio (Professional) is "on"...when key in I see the time/ date. However, when powering on the radio, by pressing and holding the top left button, nothing is hapening. Pressing Audio, on top of Power button, nothing g happens, but when I press the Menu button I get the "phone, Comp, Config, BMW and Parked" options menu. I can pair phones, see all info data etc. But just cannot get radio (FM/ AM) to play...I just purchased an aux cable and music plays from phone (Spotify), I can see timer move, but no sound or any display on radio. Update on this > Will try CD option later...CD also not playing, can hear it spinning though. Any idea please?
wow! dude you are AWESOME!!! love your videos. just fixed several items. THANK YOU!! can I program my own new factory OEM keys to the car of does BMW have to do it?
+Hi Dr. I need your professional advice!!!! I live in Thailand. I can buy a 735 Li (2004) for 8750 pound or a 730 IA (E38) b(1998) for 6250 pound. Both around 150.000 Km. Which one would of these two would you buy and why? Thanks for your help man.
If your key fob battery is low, you can hold the FOB against the start button and see if it will start. It definitely works on my 2015 Subaru WRX. Cheers!
We bought a 2006 bmw 530i m5 sports a few mths ago, it is like brand new, had 1 owner since bought, and another who had it 6mths, was selling as he needed to get out of aus to go to live with his girlfriend in Brazil due to the covid last year. There is a lot of mileage just over 200,000 k’s I think original guy must have been a travelling ?everything about the car is immaculate, I don’t think anyone has ever sat in passengers seats, it has everything this car, I love it, it’s such a smooth drive but has a lot of power, that’s coming from a monaro v8 coupe, but anyway I have learnt a lot with your vids, as everything had been set to previous owner and while the manuals are very full of info, I need actual using info, so lucky ive come across your vids, still learning new things with her, yes she’s a she. We have a mechanic friend who used to work on Mercedes trucks & cars, he said we got deal of a lifetime for $8,000 aus. Anyway I’ll keep learning off your vids thankyou.
On my n20 engine it says it needs coolant but the coolant level has half it’s by the maximum level but if I add a little coolant would I have to bleed it or can I just add a little without bleeding
I had the 59 plate BMW 520d M Sport Business Edition and you could fold the mirrors by holding the lock key. Also the mirror closest to the curb moved down when parallel parking.
With the keyless running enabled certain things inside the car may not be powered on, such as the cigarette lighter plug, so for example if you have a dash cam powered off the cigarette lighter this then may not be recording if you ever drive the car in this mode.
So I managed to enable the retain for start-stop function with bimmercode (I like the start-stop disabled). Is there a way to start the car always in sport mode? I have to manually put it in sport mode every time I start the car and it is annoying... Thanks!
Hey!! I've just replaced 07 e90 with 10 plate e90.. My old one all windows opened with fob the new one only rear go down with fob.. Is there anyway I can fix this at home?

Did I miss the comment with the link for coding the car to roll down windows, bring top down? 2008 bmw 335i convertible. Would like to change the coding to be able to bring the top down with the key fob. Thanks in advance!!
Can you lock your car without activating the alarm? I am always afraid when going on holidays whether my battery may get flat and triggers the alarm? Or when I would like to lock the car with my sleeping kids inside, so they don’t activate the alarm when moving.
Amazing how many owners dont know much about their cars.everything here is in the book. Sorry, it must be good for those who never bother to learn what their car and key fob can do, but how can anyone own a prestige car and not bother to check what it can do?
Depending what model you have. It does alot more then just the windows and locks. I have a x5 in canada. It can open or close the windows. The seats move the sunroof opens all depends what I have it set up as.
I have a question, my x5 keyfob stopped working and I was using the key in the door, it was working fine when I went into the store, but wouldn't work when I came back out. And the switch in the center isn't working either. Is it the door or the switch that could be the problem?
Good video thank you. Question Do you know how to reset he brake pads and brake light after they are replaced with -700 miles. I try several times with the push reset odometer bottom and does not reset, look like a hard fault. Please advise. My car is a X5 e 70 2007 3.0

Hi Ya'll! I'm a first-time owner of a BMW (2008 528i 5-series 3.0 automatic) fully loaded. My luck is that it has no owners manual. Only 1 key fob. How do I get ahold of info to make this car programmed to Lil oh me. And all the neat tricks I see everyone can do with my make and year BMW? Thank you in advance

Do u ever have an issue with repeated check engine light on... iv got a bmw reader that says what's wrong but after I erase it it comes back few weeks later. And when it's on iv noticed that it kinda jerks when I push the gas forward. Just wondering if you had that issue at all.
damn! I didn't know that ))) but in my case if I press n hold upper button - first opens all windows, for a second time opens moon roof for third time.. I start engine, will try next time (I have wagon version of bmw) lower button activated alarm siren and scared me ) Thank you bro for the video

holy hell, I had my E90 for 6 years and just tried your window open/close. That is awesome
Most BMWs and VWs and AUDIs etc do the same thing...

This should be titled “read your owners manual”
You read It?
@@petivideo of course he didn't, sh..t talkers
Not everybody HAS a manual. I don't. I only found out the car has stop/start function after three days of driving it.
Mine didn’t come with one
Who tf reads the manual about a key fob... 😂 f*cking new people? That's sad if you dont know how a key fob works as soon as you get the car.
Dude, you’ve got the skills brother, keep up the good work!!!!!
thanks mate
for newer models if you click and hold the lock button and the side view mirrors will close too
Thank you sooooooo much I had my car for 3 years and now I can open my carboot & windows 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤
Man I wish you had a shop here in the USA.... people here don’t shoot straight like you... I’ve learned more from you than anyone I’ve dealt with

If your car is equipped with comfort access, you can roll the windows up and close the sunroof by tapping the keyhole on the driver door, then hold it down until everything is shut. You need to have the fob with you of course.

Reason for getting onto your channel; my radio (Professional) is "on"...when key in I see the time/ date. However, when powering on the radio, by pressing and holding the top left button, nothing is hapening.
Pressing Audio, on top of Power button, nothing g happens, but when I press the Menu button I get the "phone, Comp, Config, BMW and Parked" options menu.

On the US model you can use the key in the door and lock the door and hold it will roll up windows. It opens and closes the sunroof also.

Had no idea about the trick with removing the key and being able to start it again 👍
The windows trick i believe was available since the E3... series
Yup, my '91 e36 has this
You can also do alooot more than possibly imaginable with Bimmercode and Bimmerlink. I've tweaked so many settings with em on my 330e.
If your key fob battery is low, you can hold the FOB against the start button and see if it will start. It definitely works on my 2015 Subaru WRX. Cheers!

Good stuff.
I remember when dealers would try to put a new battery in my key fobs when. It's not? Removable and you just charges in the car.
On my n20 engine it says it needs coolant but the coolant level has half it’s by the maximum level but if I add a little coolant would I have to bleed it or can I just add a little without bleeding
Basheer Bawa ooo ok thank you so much because I’ll the videos I found of bmw coolant had a bleeding process to it I was confused but thank you ! ☀️
I had the 59 plate BMW 520d M Sport Business Edition and you could fold the mirrors by holding the lock key. Also the mirror closest to the curb moved down when parallel parking.
The mirror moves down if the toggle switch for the electric mirror adjuster is moved to the left. Has nothing to do with the Fob
The key less entry is new knwledge bro thanks alot 😍

Hidden features of the owners manual 😁 thanks for the hands on video though !
