Check your vehicle settings to see if they have been changed.

If your settings were changed and you didn't change them, I bet you have the settings loss problem.

I didn't get P2 package, is there any way for the car to lock itself after I exit the vehicle? Right now I have to click the lock and there's a honk and the mirrors shut. But if I don't press anything, nothing happens.


regret it for sure not getting p2, I got used to comfort access on bmw. A few times I completely forgot to lock the door

Unfortunately car does not lock itself if you forget.

Ignore the guy. Some people on this forum are not here to help others.

Make sure you have the Locator lighting turned on (Settings > Locator Illumination)
AND... make sure your light switch is set to AUTO. If you have it on any other position the lock/unlock lighting won't work.

I wonder if the interior light button needs to be switched to on for when you open the door. The button is usually located on the overhead console.

You need to make sure you the car isn't running when you unlock the car

Why would he have the car running if he is using the seek function?
