Hi guys new member needing some advice.. I've just bought my X5 09 plate and the boot doesn't open with the button on the key, is this model fitted with automatic opening? Thanks for any help.

    Welcome the the Forum

    Is your car an E70 or E70 LCI ? When you say the boot doesn't open do you mean power open or it doesn't unlock? If your car has the power open option then there will be a close button on the tail gate it's self. If you have the simple remote unlock (all do) then I would suspect the micro switch in the tailgate where the lock/number plate lights are as they are known to suffer from water ingress. If you have the power open option I would be checking all fuses, I would also get the codes read to check for faults..If your key is functioning as it should in other respects that would be low on my suspect list, if you have more than 1 key try them all.

    Good luck and Enjoy your X

    Hi mines doesn't have the auto close button on the inside so I guess I don't have the power open option. Thanks for your help.
