Remote on FOB

I have a MCS 2008 and I don't have comfort access. For some reason, even after I have driven for an hour the fob is unable to lock and unlock the doors via the buttons. Should I schedule an appointment to get it checked out by BMW???

But I don't think they have a convertible. Read the specs in their sig. "Bi-xenons"...

well that makes perfect sense! not sure how they wound up here?? not a first gen and not a cabrio. the "sunroof top" part would have clued me in, had i looked at it!

now i feel like i'm at work....where my mantra is: "don't look for rational or logical behavior!"

I acted on this one because it was reported that it needed to be moved. After looking at it, Stock Problems/Issues made more sense than Coupe Talk.

Are you saying there are other threads that should be moved as well?

If so, please report them using the report post icon (). Remember, reporting a post/thread doesn't always mean that someone did something "bad". It can also just mean "this needs attention/maintenance/correction".

The admin & moderator team doesn't have time to read every thread, so we often rely on the community to bring items to our attention.

i was really starting to enjoy this thread but i guess that wasn't the op's original intention?.....maybe we could move it to off topic?

if not, i hope y'all get on topic soon

btw, i third the "take it to the dealer" idea

good luck!
