Thank you my friend. It wasn't working until something you said made me realise that the screws that hold it in are actually the earth. Now my central locking is working again 🎉
Helpful step by step guide to yet another BMW defect and plastic nightmare fight. Well done - you won. My wife decided to buy a BMW to temp replace her ultra reliable Toyota diesel , due to khan in London and his fraudulent ULEZ expansion-aug 2023 We are hoping that it gets voted out in May.24. The BMW e91 ,is definitely not ultra reliable, but the straight six engine is nice. Will try to follow your vid and replace the diversity aerial. Oh , it's an aerial according to the Haynes manual, it's the US which call it an antenna, the word to describe insects head feelers.
Waoooo sei un grande 👍🏼. Per caso hai qualche video per quanto riguarda la riparazione dei cavi?? Nella mia sembra checi sia una interruzione dei cavi e per quel motivo non funziona la mia chiusura.
Hello, thanks for the very informative video. That's a very thorough effort there. My F07 BMW GT has intermittent key fob issues. It works sometimes but doesn’t many times. I get the key not detected warning on the dash those times. This warning also pops up sometimes when the passenger side front door is opened. The dealership says its the antenna. Have you seen such an issue? Thank you for your time😊
Thanks for the video. I hav ebeen searching to narrow down my issue of intermittent fob connection and think I narrowed it down to this booster. I checked the 4 wires and have power to all 12,5,5,12 volt but noticed the fob would work right up to the controller but stop when put behind my back. I think the amplifier is out. Have a $45 replacement coming. Any who... thanks for the info you have shown!
Great video! I have no 12v in the last pin! Basically the car closes all the doors ( open tailgate with no problems) but I cannot open the 4 doors with the FOB, I can only open the driver door with the key and closes fine with the FOB! Do you think I need to replace the diversity or might be a cable problem?
Small update: I’ve brought my car to check the wiring and seems all fine! They still troubleshooting with some software! At this point I think or is the fob indeed or the diversity module which still doesn’t bring 12 volt on the bottom cable when the car engine is off! Let’s see the next episode 😅
This video is really good.I have a BMW X5 E70 2012 which has central locking but the car key sometimes locks it and sometimes doesn't unlock. i opened the diversity unit and cleaned it with a electrical cleaner and still have the same problem.my remote signal is perfect. please advice me
Both fobs aren’t working on my car. If it’s wiring is it the wiring on the right hand side of the diversity antenna which I need to check for the voltage? Like your video. If no voltage then wiring issue? Thanks!
My keyfob works when it’s closer to the diversity antenna. Can you let me know if this is a keyfob problem or something wrong with the diversity antenna
i have the same issue , did u guys fix it? my key working from behind the car closely < otherwise its not working is the key problem or the Antenna @@karlito1995
Great Video, thanks. A BMW specialist have confirmed my Diversity Antenna is toast. Going to get a replacement on eBay and give it a go changing myself. One question, is the module plug and play, or do I need to code it to the car or the keys? Thanks
What is the pin 4 wire about? I have the same condition but with a replacement diversity antenna I still don't have a reference voltage at pin 4. Thoughts?
I have a bmw e61 car. There is a problem with it. It does not open or lock with the key. I saw intermittent peace and I connected it, but the central lock did not work and the radio works without problems. I do not know what to do. Please help me.

Good video. I have The same problem in The same car. In my situation I dont have 12V voltage in last pin. But I have it after ignition on. In Your opinion, where can be A problem?
Hi, if your key is ok, check the fuses, and if the fuses are ok, look inside the diversity antenna for water damage and also press the boot release button on tailgate without ignition on and check last wire for 12 volts do this before checking the diversity antenna,if you have voltage there then you have got broken wires in the tailgate grommet
What a botch, 2 plastic dowels on the spoiler forgotten to loosen, then scrape with the screws over the roof. The 3rd cable also has voltage only when you turn on the radio. The diversity is almost never broken, it is usually a cable break.

What a great video
Clear Audio very informative
Thumbs up 👍
This is the exact problem I have thanks so much for this video!
This was very helpful, thank you for showing how to replace the diversity antenna, I hope this solves my issue with the battery draining.
I used this video to help me replace the diversity module. Thanks
You are very skilled, thank you help me to resolve the same issue
The "Comfort Assist System" is usually the issue. Seems weird but it IS the issue. This according the BMW Master Mechanic who FIXED ours 🤠
Car Acces System is right!
Waoooo sei un grande 👍🏼.

Hi if you check in the rubber grommet you will find the broken wire in there,veiw my fiat 500 boot catch video
Very helpful saved me 300 quid thanks
Thanks for the breakdown
great video, my key fob only works at close proximity, some times I have to wave the fob about or touch the aerial. any suggestions?

Hi, let us know how you get on
Any programming needed?. Thank you

Do you think I need to replace the diversity or might be a cable problem?
Hi, check the cables first in the rubber gromit
I think you might have a fault fob
Small update: I’ve brought my car to check the wiring and seems all fine! They still troubleshooting with some software! At this point I think or is the fob indeed or the diversity module which still doesn’t bring 12 volt on the bottom cable when the car engine is off! Let’s see the next episode 😅
Hey jaco I have the same issue did you find the problem?
Hi, great video. Do I need to code the replacement antenna to the ecu?? Does my old key work with replacement antenna?
Hi you don't need to code the new unit,but you might have to switch the ignition off and on a few times
@@thefix9823 will my old fob work with the replacement antenna ?
Да будет @@kriscowley3241
Thanks mate, very informative
Glad it was helpful!
This video is really good.I have a BMW X5 E70 2012 which has central locking but the car key sometimes locks it and sometimes doesn't unlock. i opened the diversity unit and cleaned it with a electrical cleaner and still have the same problem.my remote signal is perfect. please advice me
Hi, I think you might have a broken wire or a stretched wire in the tailgate rubber grommet
Hello, great video ! I got a 0v in the 4th cable (pin 5 I think). This sound more like a diversity problem or wiring to you ? Thanks in advance
Hi, that sounds like the wiring in the tailgate
@Thelamorp did you find the problem?
I have same issue
All the voltages are good on antenna. Bit still does not work?
can you send me a video for a e93 confertable if you have one , thanks you alex
Does anyone have a solution? Everything works for me. But the remote control only works when I'm standing directly in front of the antenna amplifier .
Both fobs aren’t working on my car. If it’s wiring is it the wiring on the right hand side of the diversity antenna which I need to check for the voltage? Like your video. If no voltage then wiring issue? Thanks!
Hi, is the central locking from the button inside the car
@@thefix9823 central locking works with the button inside the car and the emergency key. Just not either of the fobs. Everything else works as normal.
Check the wiring from inside the rubber grommet for broken wires.
@@thefix9823 is that the rubber grommet on the right hand side of the antenna like the video.
@@rthomasbox yes it is
My keyfob works when it’s closer to the diversity antenna. Can you let me know if this is a keyfob problem or something wrong with the diversity antenna
Did you solve it ?
i have the same issue , did u guys fix it?
my key working from behind the car closely < otherwise its not working
is the key problem or the Antenna

Hi, the module is plug and play,but sometimes, you have to start the car up and switch it of to make it work you have
@@thefix9823 Perfect, thank you! Finally got round to ordering one! Fingers crossed replacement goes smoothly 🤞🤞 Thanks again
Hello i have same problem with diversity. But i have
1st cable 12volt
2nd cable 12volt
3 cable 0volt
4 cable 12volt
it is same probleme diversity HS?
What is the pin 4 wire about? I have the same condition but with a replacement diversity antenna I still don't have a reference voltage at pin 4. Thoughts?
Hi you might have a broken wire in the grommet area
Hello can y help me my ligth stop working and both chanel giving positive energy what can be?
So it doesn't need any adițional coding??
It just works left side of the trunk not far(might be 15 feet) as shown in video
Where is this located on an e92 m3 2013
Very good explanation and useful video 👏
I have a bmw e61 car. There is a problem with it. It does not open or lock with the key. I saw intermittent peace and I connected it, but the central lock did not work and the radio works without problems. I do not know what to do. Please help me.
Hi, you have to check the wiring to the diversity antenna unit for more broken wires
I got 0 voltage from second wire. Is this a antenna problem, or a wire problem?
Hi, that sounds like the wiring is broken
I have
1.) almost 12v
2.) 4,5 v is that ok ??? someone help
I had 1, then i changed like you and now i have what i just write
Good video!

So the reason it was stuck is because there were two more plastic covers covering some plastic clips. I followed your instructions and broke my clips
Good video.
I have The same problem in The same car.
In my situation I dont have 12V voltage in last pin.
But I have it after ignition on.

Too brutal …. ITS a Trick to fix it So Waste of time if YOU replace it
He showed how to diagnose it so its not a waste of time
