Thanks a lot for your video!!
I checked trunk and glove box fuses and they were all good. I changed the battery in the controller and it didn't work. and I also tried two or three tricks and absolutely nothing happened. but i did this...
one of my two controllers on my 2008 x5 stopped working almost 6 months ago. What I did yesterday was watch a video on how to open the controller (which is sealed) and replace the battery (which is soldered). then i watched a video on how to sync the remote to the truck, which is super easy, all i had to do was go, insert the key in the door to unlock the truck, get in, put the key in the switch, turn on, leave about 15 seconds on, and turn off, take out the key and check if it works or not. and it worked for me, immediately I took the control out of the switch and pressed the lock unlock buttons it worked. Thank God I already have my second control working for only 30 dollars with everything, battery and welder kit. I hope and whoever has the same problem will find my comment helpful.

Thanks man! I am now only left to check the diversity antenna. Thanks to you, now I know where is it located and easy to replace!

Thanks for the video man. Both my keys failed at the same time. I'm suspecting it might be batteries because the car has been sitting for months in the garage, only goes out for a drive in the weekend and always with the same key.

Sadly it's a fob without the removable cover and I have no soldering skills.

My fob won’t unlock the car doors, but will lock the car, start the car and unlock the boot. It’s it worth trying these tips or could it be the actual unlock button being the problem?

If you have 2 keys, and 1 key isn't performing remote locking/unlocking, but the other key does, without issue... this rules out fuses and diversity antenna, right? Otherwise it'd be the same for both keys?

[imsad]

thank you brother. I followed your explanation and found that the mirror socket is not connected well and my car is a 2007 BMW 118i.

A video that is actually helpful, good job. If I replace the diversity module on an E90 will it need to be coded to the car?

My second key is not opening the doors, but to recharge it don’t i have to use it a bit while driving to juice the battery in the key?

[ms.]

Thanks. My car was telling me to replace my key’s battery. I was able to easily replace my battery. Now it works to unlock the door, but when I go to start it…it says the remote is not detected. I’ve held the remote to the steering column to start the car. It works, but when I shut off the engine it says remote not detected again. Do you know what I should do? Thanks

[arberisa]

When i press open on the key, it unlocks the car as it should but it Also unlocks/open the trunk… when the key is in the ignition it’s not possible to open the trunk. The trunk locks it self when I start it. Will do your steps this weekend. You got any tips?

How do I fix BMW 3 series key not unlocking doors but that car runs

[aakemp]

I have checked all 3 options, nothing, my remote not working, but engine start. And no spare key. Time to go bmw garage ( but scary price) or change module, not expensive in ebay, any recommendation? Please

[motomallen]

Many thanks, I now have a decent checklist to go through and sort this key out.
