The problem started when my son brought his things from the trunk of the car two days ago..I checked the fuse nothing changed , as well as the spare remote..I took it to the workshop, and he said that the problem is big, I have to go by car to the dealership...I felt desperate, so I searched the Internet again and I found this video. I checked the place and found two of the wires already cut, so I fixed them and the lock worked again with little money and effort. The wires were prominent. I did not have to open anything. Thank you, the size of the sky.
I've had all sorts of problems with my lights and bootlock on those wires at the rear. Repaired so many but never knew the remote went through it. My key stopped working last week and you have saved me so much time on the computer. Thanks mate. I will checkout the wiring diagram tomorrow. ;) tia
You are early . You are 3 hours behind my time and for me it is 09.28 . I knew you were going to say " what a nightmare ". But as always, you got it done. Nice job Luis.
Great video. I had same issue when I first bought my E91 wagon. Checked all the wires (what a pain) but ended up being a bad amplifier. I loved the little ISTA tutorial. Not enough of those out there! I don't use ISTA very much because I just don't know how to use it very well. 🙂 Thank you!
Luis, I had a problem with basically the same cause on my E36 saloon. I had non-working bootlight caused by a broken wire in the bootlid harness. The movement of the harness from opening and closing the boot over the years had strained the wires to the point to where some had broken.
Great video as usual👍 Bro, I do not have more than one scantool & the only hurdles I encounter are wiring diagrams, service data & component location's & yes it takes more than normal repair to figure all out, my request is plz make a video using IM608 on a similar fault, so that we can learn from you how to attack them without a test plan😉 Really appreciate your work, Thanks for sharing & Stay Safe👍
Hey, so I have an original key which unlocks and locks with remote and I got some spare ones, I got them programed but they don't unlock the car with the buttons! They Start the car, when I test the frequency the new ones are 315Mhz and my original key shows 314.98Mhz would this be the issue why they won't work? It's a 2008 335i new Zealand.
I have a 2006 325i my key unlock the car and open the truck but my control don`t lock my car sooooooometimes but not all the time, do you know what is the problem could be, please I need some help, thank you
Difficult to tell is is intermittent... See if you find a pattern... Like, happens when it is raining, or too hot, etc... A scan of the car might can help... 👍👍👍
I guess is to ensure that the door lock is not forced open and the alarm is disabled... This way, only when the right key is inserted the alarm is disabled... I guess that is the theory behind it... 👍👍👍
My remote is working only after car is opened by physical key, after that while the car is awake you can still open it with keyfob once it falls asleep again keyfob is not responding until you will wake up the car, what could be the problem ?
@@LMAutoRepairsthanks for the hint, so far checked diversity antenna-no corrosion, also checked boot wiring, good. Replaced keyfob battery. Was thinking that maybe someone already had the same issues 🙄
The problem is, a remote not working can have many different causes... is fact that you said only works when the car is awake, that lead me to thing terminal 31 (permanent battery voltage) But a scan and some live data should help you as well...
The E90 does not suffer from this issue... the antenna module should be located inside at back, on the top of the rear screen, if I recall correctly... 👍
@@LMAutoRepairs im having this symptoms on my E90 318d feom 2009 and cant find a single vid on it lol chacked key with key Specialist sending signal no problem... inside button under the hazard lights works radio works only no lock/unlock doors... checked fuses all good there too... is the only thing that seems to make sence at this point🤦♂️ sorry about the frustration 😬🙏🙏
@@BDemonman Yes, seems like something similar... BMW ISTA would run some tests to narrow it down... If you know anyone that has ISTA might worth a try...

I have the same problem. Did you find a solution?
@autopatina8337 nope never got it sorted.
Good job sharing

Mine remote is working, however I have to keep the fob close to the back of the car , doesn’t work from distance . Any suggestions ?
Could well be the antenna...

Why doesn't the Alarm use the switch in the door lock like the central locking does
I guess is to ensure that the door lock is not forced open and the alarm is disabled...
This way, only when the right key is inserted the alarm is disabled...
I guess that is the theory behind it...
👍👍👍
@@LMAutoRepairs Yah that sounds right.
My remote is working only after car is opened by physical key, after that while the car is awake you can still open it with keyfob once it falls asleep again keyfob is not responding until you will wake up the car, what could be the problem ?
Terminal 31 missing somewhere?
That's the first things that comes to mind...
But scan the car and go from there...
