Thank you, first time bmw owner here, and this was so far the most right on point bmw how to videos!
Glad it helped, welcome to the family! Reach out if you ever have any questions!
You can also CLOSE the trunk using the key-fob, just keep the trunk button pressed until the trunk is closed. ✌️
Some countries allow it, here in the US it's not possible. I discovered this after the fact.
It is by coding it
Do you know the code?
You need to disable the motion detector on ferries as well.
Thank you! That's great information!!
I`ve watched a few of your videos now and can I just say, it`s great you actually take the time to reply to almost every question.
Thanks Andi! Most definitely, I have a system that lets me know if any outstanding question so I make sure to stay on top of it and help people best I can!
Reach out if you ever have any questions!
Brand new owner here, 2 1/2 weeks now. Still learning. This is very helpful. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
Helpful thank you! Regarding the walk toward/away unlock/lock - can you clarify whether a 'comfort pack' is needed or this would work also without that? I am about to purchase a new car so that would be truly appreciated. many thanks
Good stuff! Many of these features have been available on my bmws for a long time…you really get used to them and miss them when they’re gone!
Thanks! You're right, many of these do get overlooked. Since the vehicles have so many different features now, we tend to forget the basics =)
I love this guys videos! Always informative and easy instructions! I’m a subscriber!! ❤
Thank you!!!
Super helpful. thanks for putting this together.
Very welcome!
Great video - Thank you. Love your ‘energy’!
The Red Bull helps! Thank you!
i learned a lot! cant wait to test it all tomorrow :) thanks
Glad to hear Doc! Reach out if you have questions!
First time BMW owner. Thanks so much for all this useful information. I really appreciate you taking the time to put this together.
Thanks for watching!
Very nice and clear instructios. Your videos are very helpful. Thanks.
Kem Cho Jigar, Thanks! ;)
This helps thanks. I have an X3-2017, comes with a Fob. Hopefully, it does most if not all of what you’ve shown with the new FOB.
17 X3's key fob won't too as many as this. It cannot do remote start since the vehicles didn't have it during the time. It cannot roll up the windows, but if you have comfort access, you can hold the door sensor and roll it up that way.
Definitely helpful and valuable information! Thanks!
Anytime Omar! Glad it helped.

awesome REALLY HELPED ME learn ... things i did not know and have had my 2022 bmw x5 for 2 years!
Glad it helped!!
I've bought 45 new cars in my 79 (61 driving) years, Although Japanese and US domestic cars all have a few manufacturer peculiarities, German cars - especially BMW - are quite different and have a learning curve. Your video was very helpful to reacquaint myself with BMW as I just purchased a 2024 X1 M235.
Thank you! Great tips. I've been driving BMWs for a few years, and didn't about quite a few of these tips!
Great to hear! Hope it makes life easier for the next few BMWs! =)
Great video, thanks!

Thanks.........Great Job!!
Thank you, Jazz!
Great content. You can also open close stop and reverse close or open your your trunk using the trunk button on your keyfob. And if you have bimmercode you can set a delay for the trunk opening. This is for if you have your keys in your pocket to avoid accidentally opening the trunk. 😊
Thanks for the info! I know US vehicles don't have the ability to close the trunk for safety reasons. DIdn't know bimmercode could do that one! Happy holidays!
I keep learning a lot from your videos.
Glad to hear it! Reach out if you have questions!
3:58 You actually CAN close the trunk with the key fob. Just long press the trunk button and it does the trick.
Never got it to. I’ll try holding it for longer. I’m not sure if it’s a US only thing. Let me know.
Thank you for that great informative video👍🏾. I bought a used Bmw 320i from a car dealer. And i was given only one main Key-Fob plus another smaller Key-Fob for locking and unlocking the doors only.. I was given only one bunch, my worry is, where is the other spare bunch? and suppose the car dealer is rogue, and happen to sneak in, and steal my car using the spare bunch.. what should i do? I need your advice please, am in constant worry eversince i bought the car. Thank you😢
Hey Beamerview
Just got my wife a 2021 X7, this video was so informative. I find myself sitting in the truck and programming everything you shared. We have a 2014 535i and looking forward to all the features you showed me with the X7. This is why BMW is the “Ultimate Driver Machine” 🥂
Congrats on the X7, my best friend has one too and they love it. Glad the videos are helping you out, plenty more coming.
My bmw was wrecked drivers side key was lost. No power.. how can Iget in the trunk
I just got a used 2016 BMW 750i xdrive msport. The trunk open/close (with your foot) doesnt seem to work. Is this an option that the car might not be equiped with or is their a setting that needs to be changed? The car seems fully loaded with all options so it seems strange that this one is not available.
I own a 2015 BMW X5 35D here in the US. I discovered holding down the unlock does roll my windows down and sunroof open and holding down the lock rolls them back up so that’s cool! I don’t have remote start(boo). Holding down the trunk on the key fob does not close it and yes because I have a tow hitch I can’t open it with the leg swipe. Also pressing lock twice doesn’t disengage my motion detecter inside the vehicle.This video is very informative, thank you!
Glad it helped!
Great video.
Glad you enjoyed it. Reach out if you ever have any questions!
Excellent information
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for the video. if you don't mind my asking what is that door ding stuff you have on your front door edge? Does it work well?
Thats just a transport piece, not necessarily a part you should get. I personally am very careful and never ding any cars but if you end up in a area where you may get dings, I would get these - amzn.to/3P9mmhf
Thanks!
Wilfred, thank you for the Super Thanks. It goes a long way to help the channel grow and I'm grateful for it. Please reach out anytime you may have a question, we would love to help!
great video
Thank you!!
I Own a 2019 3 Series G20 With a electric tow hitch. It does have a kick sensor for opening the trunk. In my experience a kick from left to right with my left foot works al the time for unlocking and locking the trunk.
Never came across that yet. Is yours a UK spec by any chance?
Great video
Ty!!
This is really helpful
Glad it helped!
Hi. Great tips. Thank you. Does 2022 x6 key fob have relay safety built it or how can I disable it..
Hey Farooqp, great question, I've personally never heard of a BMW key fob being relay attacked. I do know there is not a way to disable that as far as I know.
Thanks 🙏
You’re welcome 😊
I have a 128ti (2021, F40) and I'm able to close the trunk with the key ^^ After I opened it, I can close it with keep pressing the trunk button until it's closed. The trunk stops moving when I release the button to early. Short pressing, trunk will open again - Holding the button continues closing.
Good to know. I’ve heard of some other countries outside of the US being able to do it! Probably has to do with the laws.
I've a tow hitch and the kick feature works perfectly fine
Will have to try it again, not sure if they made changes recently.
Hold down unlock will also activate the top down for a convertible, which I have, a 2022 840i.
Correct, love this feature.
Nice video!
Thanks for the visit!
Thanks 🙏 You have a new Subscriber 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🎉🎊🍾
Thanks for the sub! Reach out if you ever have any questions!
Can to stop engine using fob once remotely started? Also is there fob pocket anywhere to store it? Mine is 2019 x5
Yes it will turn off after 15 mins, you can also press lock 3 times again to turn off remote start. Unfortunately no fob pocket, closest you'll get to is going to be the cupholders or the cubby right above it.
I would LOVE to know how to permanently disable the car alarm. I've seen a couple of things that say "remove the fuse for it" or "drain the batter" or things like that. But...I'm hoping there's just a setting "turn off car alarm". Is there anything like that? (2021 M3 Comp)
No setting for it unfortunately. The only thing close to it would be the feature to turn off the beeping sounds when you lock and unlock the car. I'm not aware of how the fuse box works, but a BMW technician might.
Is the walk towards/away lock/unlock future standard on all new models or An option?
Mostly standard on all newer BMWs. You do have to enable it in the settings menus
Hi, would be nice to know which feature/trick is only available with comfort access
Good point. I believe the only feature you would lose would be the walk away and walk toward feature of course, you may also not be able to close the windows from the lock button on the fob.
Could you do a review on the buttons and features of the F90 M5
Videos won't be coming out for older generation BMW, the demand for those are very low, many of these buttons are shared from car to car though, I would watch some of the others of the newer cars and that may help a bit.
For the remote start, what is the maximum distance away from the vehicle for it start?
Hey Rick! About 230ft. Thanks for asking!
Can this be added to my bmw?
well done.....
Thank you! Cheers!
Many of these do not work on my F11 but a great video anyway
Thanks! Maybe it may be something that comes in a future BMW =)
You can lower the rear tailgate (trunk) with the key if you hold down the same button you used to open the tailgate
Haven't tried that one yet but will give it a shot!
Congrats 10k subs
Thanks Andy! Just hit it yesterday. Soon as it did I went straight to the bar! :)
@@BeamerView good work. You were right when you gave me the advice holding the M button saved the new setting on my m8. Thx man! Next thing I’m trying to figure out is why the dealer sold me PermaPlate on a frozen bmw and PermaPlate doesn’t warranty anything for non-glossy surfaces!
Also this key fob you know if new 3 series Will have the exact same?
Hey Thunder, most likely will have this same key fob.
The only bmw that has the brand new style currently is the iX. Even the i4 has this current generation fob.
Helpful video but I found many of these "tips" do not work on the 2022 330e. BMW needs a "Pet mode" like tesla. I have tried everything to leave the vehicle with AC on, doors locked, and alarm off but there is no way to do it. Even the 2009 hyundai sonata hybrid could do that.
Understood. Yes Pet mode would make much more sense. Honestly probably 5% of the population knows about the motion detector turn off.
It would be nice to have a pet mode and then program that to one of the memory keys!
I second the desire for pet mode. I have two standard poodles that I would like to take with me and be able to leave in the car with the air con on. Tesla has pet mode. BMW needs it too!
I have a 2023 X3M Comp LCI, I can get the windows to roll down with key fob, but nothing I do works to close them ie holding down the lock button as you described & demonstrate, is there a setting I have to activate 1st before using this feature??🤷♂️ thanks to anyone who can answer
It should roll up the windows when holding lock, I'm not sure which country you're from but sometimes I have seen different key functions depending on the country. Here in the US you should be able to with a 2023 model. If not, another thing you could try is holding down the lock sensor on the door handle to see if that works. This method was what worked on the last generations.
@@BeamerView hey thanks for the reply, I’ve tried everything to no avail, live in the US & was hopeful this would work 🤷♂️ I wish you could do both of these functions in the My BMW App, that would be awesome, I don’t even carry the key fob, I do everything thru the app. Thanks again, anyone els have an idea??
I have towbar /hitch and kick sensors work to open boot...also hold the boot button closes boot ... 😊
Good to know! I believe it has to do with these US or North American BMWs that don't allow this for some odd reason!
Hello, I’m here because my alarm will go off when I’m a certain distance away from it. No matter if I lock it through the key fob/door handle, my alarm goes off. Previous Cadillac owner, so I’m completely new to these features. Please help! I have a 2019 x3
For 2023 models with auto opening and closing doors - is there a way to get the doors to swing open using the FOB?
For opening, i am not aware of yet. I do know by holding down the LOCK button on the key fob you are able to close the doors.
How to close trunk with key for my bmw 530 2021 us version?
US version BMWs are not allowed to close the trunk with the key fob, has to do with some safety law.
Nice video. Believe it or not, VW / Audi models have almost identical key fob functionalities as BMW. For instance, the auto roll down while pressing unlock already works on VWs since the 90s.. Unfortunately no remote start here in Germany.. 😞
Aw some. It’s been a while since I’ve had my Audi s5. Great car too. Yes can’t believe you all do not have remote start. I hope the electric cars being able to pre condition should help fix that going forward.
My old Acura TSX did this back in 2003. At this point, all vehicles should have the feature.
Remote start is nothing new for BMW. They've had it for a very long time, I'm curious why they aren't offering it in Germany?
@@ninapreciado32128 Unfortunately, it's prohibited by German (and EU) law..
@@GTI_CHHA maybe it's for the better, for safety reasons 🤔
How do we unlock the car from driver side when passenger accidentally take the key out of the car ?
Sorry didn't quite understand the question, could you re-phrase it?
The vehicle can only unlock from the driver side if the key is nearby.
Can any of these features works on a 2015 x5 50i? Like the remote start, kick to open the trunk gate?
Remote start will not, but the kick to open might. Your vehicle would have to have the keyless entry feature though.
My car has the keyless entry and the fob is exactly the same feature on the video.
@@Pajarraco73 sure kick front to back only in a natural fashion. You have to have the key in your pocket
Mate, you can actually close the TRUNK by holding the trunk button on the key fob and it will bring the trunk down/close. Try it.😝 We do with our BMW the UK version actually.
It goes by country United States laws don’t allow it here for some reason, but I have been hearing that for a UK vehicles it does work! Thanks for the heads up
Is comfort access standard ? Or is it an option ? I can t find it on my 2023 x5 45e... I mean for a 105k car, having to press a button every single time is quite a cheap experience...even a Dacia has it as standard...
Im quite sure for the X5s the comfort access feature is standard. Not the case if you had a X3. If you go into settings and go under where it says doors/access you should see comfort access located there.
@BeamerView i just checked and it isn t 😭
Interesting, may have to do something with the laws of the area you're in. US Vehicles should have them.
@@BeamerView comfort access is a 1000 option in the UK for the i4 for example, it's insane. even my old Ford Focus had keyless entry and it was literally half the price.
Is there a way to charge the key fob ?
I have tow hitch and still have kick feature to open the trunk 😇
Good to know, it may be something they have changed, I'll have to test it for the newer vehicles, thanks for letting me know.
Hello, I’ve recently purchased a 2020 x6 and I can’t get my comfort access to work. I’ve checked all the boxes and it still won’t work. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
May be an issue with the key fob, I would try to replace the battery. A lot of the times if the key is in the purse it may cut off the signal too. Im sure you checked, but doors and access settings is where you're going find the comfort access feature if it has it.
Where do we find the battery level indicator/display please - 2023 - 8 Series ?
Are you referring to this key or the display key? There are two different ones.
@@BeamerView - Hi, thanks for your response. I am referring to the car’s iDrive 7, My BMW App and/or display key. There seems to be no way of checking on the level of battery charge remaining, e.g. 15% alerting the owner to the need to charge the battery to avoid an impending jump start.
Merced-Benz offers alerts via their App but evidently BMW has overlooked this important service.
Would appreciate your wisdom. Regards,
Thanks, I can’t seem to do it on my mint 2017 G30. 😬 and there’s no button in the door panel other than the mirror adjustment.
Will software help me?
What were you trying to do?
@@BeamerView fold my mirrors in and likewise when I lock the car. My Volvos from 2006- all have had button fold and auto fold. You need your mirrors in for flip sake for a) a tempted vandals and b) falling drunks.
Got it! That will be under your settings, if you go into the doors/key access menu and it should be there to check on.
@@BeamerView thanks m8 but it’s not there and this is a BMW! My quality Volvos had auto folding from my 2006 MY onwards. Easy switching on in the menu.
Hmm I see, try this video maybe - czcams.com/video/NTz_1AYDqUg/video.html
do theses features work for 2016 bmwx5
Not as many since these are more for the 2019+ X5s. If you're x5 has comfort access you can hold down the sensor on the door handle to roll up the window. That's one of the different ones.
Are those leather seats or sensatec? And what is the name of the color?
Canberra Beige/Black SensaTec
The 2023's come with the new SensaFin, which is basically sensatec but feel almost as good as leather.
Hey, I couldn't understand what you said what your name was...anyway I hope you can help me. My boss just ordered a 2023 7 Series (not the i7) and I want to buy him a cool key fob cover, but I have no idea what the new 7 Series key fob looks like. In addition I just ordered a 2023 X3 M40i and I have to wait 5-6 months for my car. I saw a cool key fob cover I wanted to purchase, but once again...I have no idea what the fob looks like for North America. If you can help me I'd really appreciate it.
Hey Don, thanks for reaching out.
I have not seen it yet, but I strongly believe BMW will upgrade the new 7 series key fob. An example of what this will look like is in one of my older videos that I did on the new x7 LCI, video below.
czcams.com/video/SmvVpkn6kFo/video.html
Fast forward to about 1:48 seconds to see the new design.
Keep in mind that the shape will be the same but the designs on the key may vary. The iX key is also a similar shape but it doesn't have the fancy M strips that this X7 Msport has.
I would personally recommend waiting for the cool key fob covers to come out, they still have yet to release from what i've seen so far, a local dealer should be one of the first ones to get them. They can also run the vin number of the vehicle your boss ordered and check to see if it fits.
Your 23 X3 M40i will have the older design which is similar to what you see in this video, congrats on the purchase btw!
Lastly, the functions/features on the new key fob and this one remain the same from what i've seen. Simply just a design/layout change.
Hope this helps! Subscribe if you have not already and reach out when you have the next question =)
PS. Names Dee =)
@@BeamerView , I think it will be much safer if I just get him some floating center disc. Thank you for your help!
If you have two key FOBs and two driver profiles how do you actually assign 1 of 2 specific driver profiles to one particular key and the other driver profile assigned to the other key?
You can do it in the driver profile menu and going into settings from that page. The best way is when you're setting up the profiles to have the designated key within the vehicle and moving the other one away from the vehicle. But go into settings, keep one key in the car, and you should be able to re-link it.
actually figured out it does it automatically. thanks!@@BeamerView
can you make a video about all the nuances of using and activating the card key and digital key. I have a custom built x5 coming in 6 weeks. Can't wait!
Sure would love to add that to the list. Congrats on the new X5, most of the drawbacks about the key CARD is the fact that it's only good for a 1 year subscription. The digital key for iphones and androids is much more convenient. Being that your X5 is new it should be able to link to your phone as a digital key. If you don't already know, simply tap and hold your phone on the door handle to lock or unlock, and place on the charging tray to start the vehicle. You can give out up to 5 different digital key accesses to family members as well.
@@BeamerView Damn i didn't know the key card was only good for a year. I've been doing a lot of research, but didn't see that. I wish the x5 had digital key plus which the new system has. But i plan on upgrading in 4-5 years. Thanks for the reply!! btw i'm one town over from Sudbury, and went there but eventually ended up buying from BMW of Norwood.
My comfort access not working. It flashes "COMFORT ACCESS REDUCED " when engine is shutting down. What should I do to correct it please.
Sounds like a glitch, best case would be to bring it in to get it checked out.
Hello bro
I have problem
I see on screen bmw x5 2020
“hold the vehicle key against the marker in the sterring colum see Owner's handbook for futher information “
What’s i can do ?
Look on the side of the STEERING WHEEL COLUMN. Its the box that holds the steering wheel. On the side you'll see a picture of a key, you can hold your dead key fob there flat and then start the car.
This means your battery is dead and needs to be replaced on your key.
you can close trunk with key fob. just press button continuously.
1:02. I find that gray strip placed on the door for protection very ugly. I would have put it in the color of the car, as I have it on my black BMW. :)
Greetings from Germany !
lol Thanks form the factory. That's taken off when the car is detailed, sold etc. It's not a true edge guard.
Haha Yes! It’s foam. And it comes off before owner takes the car. I purposely kept it on there for safety purposes.
I have a 2017 430i. I waould like my horn to beep when pressing the lock button so I can find my car in a crowded parking lot. Is this possible?
Unfortunately not, BMW's are only designed to make the beeping sound.
Is there a way to reduce the volume of lock confirmation beep? It shocks everyone being so loud.
Unfortunately not. You can disable it all together but cannot tone it down.
How do you program a new key for a 2021 BMW X5
Hold the new key near the steering wheel column, on the side that has the picture of a key (it's hard to see but it's where you would hold the key if the key fob was dead) and then as you're holding it there continue to press the start button over and over till it starts. Keep your other key away from the car.
One thing you forgot: use the mechanical key to enable or disable the front passenger seat airbag. Maybe there is some other legislation in the US, but in other places, people sometimes use the front passenger seat to install specialized baby seats. In that situation the airbag is dangerous in a collision…
Never heard of that one, thanks for mentioning it!
How it worked?
I have a very strange problem. My 2023 X5 G05 can change my master key before. Today, I want another key to be the master key, but I can't change it, because the master key can match my personal data. Can you understand what I mean?
If you mean your original key fob, that you would have to go into driver profiles settings and then forget the key from there. Easier if you just delete the profile all together and then log back into it with the key you wish to link with it.
If you mean your digital key where it can link to the phone, within the settings menu there should be an option there to delete the main key and link another. Check out this guide here for more info > www.google.com/url?sa=i&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.bmwusa.com%2Fcontent%2Fdam%2Fbmwusa%2Fcommon%2Fconnected-drive%2Fpdf%2FGSG_BMWDigitalKey.pdf&psig=AOvVaw0GAJcXiW418jJiJiUJgRwk&ust=1696464606837000&source=images&cd=vfe&opi=89978449&ved=0CBAQjRxqFwoTCKjGiKSN24EDFQAAAAAdAAAAABAE
Do you guys think the remote starter is feasible and safe for the engine? I know American cars won’t last long lol.
Never been any issues with it.
Can anyone explain why my 2018 X3 tailgate opens unexpectedly while parked? On several occasions I have found it up while the rest of the vehicle is still locked.
Hey Larry, that does seem like a glitch in the system that I would get checked. Might be with the key fob, or the trunk button located near the door.
5 series G30, has the same issue. In my experience it is the button being pressed accidentally when the fob is in my pocket. It can be coded out so that a much longer press is required, or so that the car has to be unlocked before the tailgate can be opened.
Could you show me how to use the digital key, please ?
Couple different ways to do it.
Digital Key Card:
This is the credit card looking thing that comes with BMW's, if your BMW came with one that is. You have to make sure this is activated and when it's ready, tap and hold on the door handle to lock and unlock the vehicle. Then take it and place it on the phone holder tray / charging tray, thats located above the cup holders to start the vehicle.
Many NEW BMW's, 2022 / 2023 come with the Phone Digital Key, which you could use the same way as the card but with the use of your phone. The way you set this up, again if your BMW is compatible with it, is to go into the MY BMW App, you should see a setup menu on the first screen if your BMW is compatible with the Phone Digital Key.
Hope this helps.
@@BeamerView thank you so much. I greatly appreciate.
@@LeeTaiKwun1668 Anytime, subscribe if you havent already!
@@BeamerView Yes, I did. Looking forward to seeing your new videos 👍
Is this key work and can be installed in my bmw G11?
I do believe that this key fob and its functions should work with the G11. I've sold a G11 to my girlfriend's father and I remember it had the same key fob as the one in the video. The only thing you may not get in the G11 is a remote start, so you won't be able to use that function. (This is if your country laws allow it in the first place)
@@BeamerView really appreciate your time to help and answer the followers,the last thing that i need before buy like this key is to know the true way to program the new key fob for any bmw modules, thank you so much and i wish to see like this vedio in your channel ❣️👍
does the ix support display key
No it does not, they discontinued it a couple years ago. The mybmw app is more useful these days and the iX is even going to have digital key plus where you don’t even have to pull out your phone to open the car!
@@BeamerView many people thought it was useless but i kinda liked it. It looked futuristic
@Emplify!!! Yes it did, the drive forward and backward feature was pretty cool too,
Note: The key fob only remembers which profile is attached to which fob. Settings associated will be in the vehicle, so you can change the battery for the fob without worrying about having to re-do the profile!
Thanks for adding that!
