      Just a quick question if you don’t mind.. Is it possible in newer BMWs (G30), to code additional car key 🔑 if purchased used, but this same kind (eBay for example).. 🤔
      My car was purchased by me with only one 🔑 and would like to know if I need to visit BMW dealership or not as various opinions/tutorials on the internet 🙏🏼
      Much appreciate your feedback 👍🏼😀

      @@fredperry212 yes, I am pretty sure that they can program another key.
      I do believe that the key would have to be purchased through the parts department, and then it’s pretty easy to program it to your vehicle.

    Greetings. Thanks for this great videos explaining all aspaect related to BMW cars. I bought a brand new X5 2023, and the vehicle has a function that the car turn off when I open the driver door, even un parking mode. So, when I need to open the door for something quickly (pickup mail or parking receipt, etc) the car turns off. Can you tell me how to deactivated this feature or a trick to solve this?
    Thanks in advance,

    • @BeamerView
      @BeamerView  Před rokem +1

      It’s a very popular question unfortunately it’s a safety feature so it’s difficult to have a patch for it.
      Couple things you could check. In settings under doors and access try turning off the box that says turn off vehicle when opening door.
      If that doesn’t work you may have to put the vehicle in sport before exiting the vehicle.

      Hey Mikeala!
      Thanks for the sub! Few things to mention with Apple CarPlay on 2018s.
      Apple CarPlay is subscription based on that year, if you’ve never got it to work I’d check on connectedrive.com to subscribe to it. It’s about 300 dollars for the life of the vehicle.
      If you did have it working but it’s no longer connecting I’d recommend checking out my Apple CarPlay fix video on my channel. I have two of them but they both share the same info just different cars, they’ve helped a ton of viewers.
      Again if you’ve never used it on your vehicle there could be a chance that it’s not compatible since it was just released the year before. If that’s the case reach out to your dealer and have them check your vin to see if it is compatible.

      I do not believe you can. It's worth checking but in the settings try to look for the SOUND menu or, you could try hitting the PDC button (P with the Cone Beside Button) and go into settings.
      If there was an option to change it, it would be beside some of the other sound settings such as the GONG sound or PDC sound adjustments.

    • @BeamerView
      @BeamerView  Před rokem

      2020 X5 will come with the iDrive 7. The heads up display is an optional feature, i believe you have to have the premium package in order to have it. Operating system doesn't matter much as this point in time. Idrive 7 is the most popular one currently, and they just rolled out with iDrive 8 which many are not fans of.
      You may not have a heads up display, but if you use your BMW maps, you will be able to see the map in the instrument cluster work almost like a heads up display in the sense that it's right in front of you.

      @BeamerView  Před rokem +1

      Some BMWs that have the 3D view package have a car wash option which is convenient to use since it helps you align your tires to the railing.
      Another feature you could turn off is PDC which is the beeping sounds the vehicle will make when it gets close to an object.
      You can turn off PDC by pressing or holding down the PDC button near the gear shifter. It looks like a P with a street cone beside it!

    Question about the climate controls: I have a zone for the backseat. Often my dog is back there and he likes it to be way colder than I want for my zone. I don’t when his air is on or off. Right now, I’m stopping the car, twisting around, and trying to adjust his temperature. Is there a better way?! Thanks!

    • @BeamerView
      @BeamerView  Před rokem +1

      Hey Jen one thing you could check for, and this is different for BMWs but it may have a auto setting back there where you can keep a set temperature.
      Another thing to play around with is the synchronize function that is in the climate control menu.
      Maybe you could hit the sync button, set the temperature to what your dog would like, then un-sync and adjust yours?
      Never tried it but worth a try!

    Love all these tips. One thing that I don't like and in a way HATE is the relationship you know have with Sirius XM. These people will NOT leave me alone. Letter after letter, call after call, I don't want this service, I never even listened to one second of the free trial. I dealt with them before and they make it IMPOSSIBLE to cancel their service so I will NEVER EVER deal with them again. I guess when I bought the vehicle, the dealership provided all my information to them and they will not leave me alone. This is like a crazy X that just will not leave.

      2 ways. The best way is to lock the and not leave the key inside. Another trick you could try is after turning off the engine, hold down the volume knob for about 3 seconds, and that should turn off the screen.
      Keep note that the BMW can detect the key in the vehicle thinking that you are still in it, hence why it's staying on.

    So I went to a burger place and decided to eat in the back seat of my X3 where it's less likely to get crumbs into stuff. You guessed it: the child lock was engaged and I couldn't get out even with the key in my pocket. The lock button was raised but latch wouldn't open. Luckily the left side door's child lock was not engaged so I just slid out. Had they both been locked I would have had to climb to the front seat or maybe the rear. And THAT is how I found out about the child lock.

      I haven't heard of the vehicle turning off while you're away.
      But it's very common that if you open your door that the engine will turn off as a safety feature. A way to counter that would be to push the gear shifter to the M/S mode right before you exit, so that the engine is not in "auto / start / stop mode.
      And then shift it to park so the engine is running, then go ahead and leave and come back, the vehicle should be running. Let me know if that made sense or not.
