Deactivate keyless go??

Is there a way to activate or deactivate the keyless go? I was playing with the range and locking and unlocking. Now it does not open my doors automatically or lock when I touch the button on the handle?

The buttons on the fob works fine.

My next step would be check the batteries, I guess, but the fob still works??

Odd, no problems here.

Key in pocket, walk up to car, grab handle, car unlocks, sit down, foot on brake, press "Start" button, car starts, drive, arrive at destination, park, press "Start" button, car shuts off, exit car, close door, touch little square on door handle, car locks.

Rinse and repeat twice daily.

Ouch. A similar issue happened on my E60 M5 w/ Comfort Access. A new battery in the remote solved the problem for me.

In Canada, keyless go is standard.

I saw a white C63 heading west on 401 exiting to go onto Collectors/400/Barrie. Was that you? I was heading towards Harry Rosen Heartland to pickup my suit.

Do you live near a cell phone tower? My parent's house is close to a cell tower and the comfort access on my 335i would never work but works fine everywhere else. I think the cell frequencies affect it somewhat. Just my 2cents.

This has more to do with security. If the range is greater anyone can jump into your car and steal it. Imagine going into starbucks to get a coffee and the someone is able to start your car because you are still with in range.

Did you happen to tint your windows with metallic tint?

Certain films are known to interfere with Comfort Access/Keyless Go.
