Hi

Does anyone know if I can turn the volume up on my parking sensors, and how? (2001 3.0 petrol X5). Radio doesn't have to be too loud to drown out the parking aid tones.

The rad/gps is an after market Eonon, that's crap really.

Also, do stainless steel pipes help bhp, or just sound like do :)

Stainless pipes are more durable as they obviously won't corrode so if you're keeping the car for many years then it may be worth it, otherwise they definitely sound better.

Not sure about the volume on the sensors but you could locate the bleeper (in the boot area I think) and see if it has dropped down or something similar

      X3 Door locks

      Thanks again Dave. The diagnostic check was done at a main dealership so I assume it will be as you suggested. I'll call in at my local garage in the morning and run through the things you suspect could be the cause. I appreciate your help with this.

      X3 Door locks

      Hi Paul As the fault is intermittent it always a mission to track down, INPA/ISTA will show faults present and faults not present but recorded in the history. So if INPA/ISTA was used I would have expected the fault to be seen Many garages just clear faults then see what comes back (not helpful at times) The fact that your radio seems to be linked to the fault occurrence makes me think the issue is with either the Footwell Module or Junction Box as these modules are the ones that link the two systems (Radio is on the MOST Bus circuit Doors are I believe K-Can) Dave

      X3 Door locks

      Thanks Dave. I have recently had a diagnostic test on the vehicle as there was a fault with the tcu battery, which needed replacing. Would the door unlocking fault have shown during this or not due to it being an intermittent issue? Thanks again for your help

      Hi Paul I would from that description suspect a Footwell Module or Junction Box fault a diagnostic scan with a good BMW capable system should confirm (Best is BMW INPA/ISTA) Dave

      X3 Door locks

      An update to the intermittent fault. The issue with the passenger door, rear doors and tailgate not unlocking only happens if the radio doesn't turn off when the engine is off and the driver's door is opened!! Very odd. All settings in the idrive are for the radio to turn off and all doors and tailgate to unlock when the engine is turned off and driver'sdoor is opened. Anyone out there who has experienced anything like this? Thanks.
