Car horn going off when exiting X1 with key fob.
Hello,
Does anyone know if it's possible to turn off the double horn honk when you exit the car with the engine on and key fob in your pocket? I find it extremely annoying. Could it be coded off thru bimmercode? Last edited by PFitto; 12-30-2022 at 06:34 PM.. |

No way of disabling the feature unfortunately. Perhaps when Bimmercode makes the U11 platform available it might be an option to code off

Is there an area where we can suggest updates to BMW? This feature is particularly annoying if you have multiple items that could function as a key... e.g. (phone, key fob, etc.). So if I walk out with my key fob but leave my phone in the car the horn will still beep.

BMW are on these forums, but no, there's nowhere to log suggestions/complaints etc. The only way this will be addressed will be via e-sys or bimmercode (who I've messaged already inquiring about U11 support). My wife wants me to make some minor changes to the way her x1 behaves, but I'll have to wait until there's support. You probably know this but there is an idrive setting to remind you you've left your mobile behind, but that's probably not what you're asking

Can't help you there. In over several decades of car ownership this has never happened to me

Just thought of a way this could happen...if you left a key in the vehicle or mobile or card and you were working on the vehicle which required you to disconnect the battery, you could possibly lock yourself out of the car.

speaking of battery.... in the X1, what's involved in taking out the battery and putting a new one? Seems like it's under several brackets/braces in the engine bay. is this something that the owner can do by himself? or will a new battery need to be programmed by the BMW mechanic?

Cost is pretty significant, north of $500 all-in up here. In any case, not sure you'll ever need to replace yours.

Interesting. With the plate covering it I couldn’t tell. I’m sure it’s a bit more work to get to but hopefully pretty straightforward.

But I did notice that I don't see a key slot for the mechanical key, so I'm curious of the unlock/start up procedure if your key fob battery dies, and you don't have the digital key with you? I'll have to ask at my Encore Delivery, which I need to schedule. |

as for unlocking with the mechanical key, this is what the U11 manual shows: note the warning on that page.... I wonder if that means US-spec X1 also has deadlocking locks? Last edited by bluecrabby; 01-16-2023 at 01:47 PM.. |

I went with my mother to her annual check-up several months ago. I was kind of scared when her new doctor seemed to know less than me about some common diseases and syndromes. (my mother's old doctor retired a year ago and she was assigned this new doctor randomly by the clinic) Worst part.... she started looking up things on the internet while we were there(!!!). I immediately had my mother fire her new doctor and found another doctor at the same clinic.
