I have Comfort access and i have had it fail twice on me since i picked up my car last thursday has anyone else had this problem thanx

 

No, I havent had it fail but it did act a little strange when I accidentally had both fobs in the car.

 

Could you be more specific, do you mean that nothing worked, door locks, unlock wheel, start car etc or just one function?

 

I would like to hear more details myself.

 

Ok Sorry guys 4 being so vague. what happed was i had 2 take the key out of the key fob 2 open the door, and actually put the whole fob in the ignition the 1st time 2 get it 2 start. The 2nd time i accidentally left the the whole key fob in the car, and the doors got locked in the car wash and i had 2 go all the way home 2 get my spare key fob 2 open the car. does that make more since?
P.S. sorry about the bad punctuation

 

Was the engine running when you left the fob in the car?

That could be a problem at car washes, or other situations where you hop out and leave the car running. Happened to me with a rental car. My mailbox is at the bottom of a very steep drive. I stop, get out to get the mail, gravity overcomes the mechanism keeping the door open, the car locks all its doors with the engine running. There I was, all keys locked in the car, my house locked, and the engine running. Fortunately, I had a cel phone.

 

Hmm. There is no way the doors would lock by themselves with the key fob in the car. Unless, you have timed locking programmed AND the battery in the fob is dieing or dead. The battery does not charge, as mentioned in the manual and needs replacement on a regular basis. It's possible one or both of your fobs have defective batteries. Just pop off the back of the fob and get a new battery. It is the type CR 2032 is is a commonly available battery at electronic stores and CVS.

 

No the car was off it was actaully in the car wash had 2 push it out luckly it was outta gear and the E-brake off. but should't u still be able 2 get in your car w/ the key fob inside by still pressing the black button on door handle on the outside of the car

and wow @ least u did have your cell

 

ya see thats what i thought, didnt make since 2 me that i couldnt get in it even if the doors were locked. I dont think the battery is dead cause it works any other time, but i might try that anyway. thanx 4 the feedback

 

Automatically locking the doors, when the engine is off and the fob inside, seems like a logical error to me. I wonder if that is something the you or the dealer can set in the program.

 

Yes, something not right there. The only way it should be able to lock with the FOB inside is if the car did not detect the FOB being inside.

Did the FOB happen to be in a metal cup/container? Just a thought.

 

Try a new battery. I'm not kidding, try a new battery.

 

No it was actually in a Leather Case Provided by the Dealer, amd sitting on the seat i could see it from the outside. i think i will just change the battery and hopefully that helps

 

Please let us know. I ordered my Mini with this option. But if it proves to be unreliable, then it will be more of a pain than it is worth.
