Hi,

I have recently purchased a 2013 X5M50d. The centre console buttons, specifically Auto hold, camera button and downhill descent don't always work when pressed but DSC is ok. They seem to work whenever they decide to and also the Auto hold decides to turn itself off whenever it wants, normally the next time i get in the car. There are no signs of anything spilled or damage as far as I can see.

Has anyone come across this before and how was the problem resolved?

Thanks

Morning Ricky

Welcome to the Forum

Tasty motor hope your enjoying it

First check would be Battery Voltage check it at the charging point under the bonnet key out engine off you should see 12.5v engine running 14.5v + If you have less than 12.5v at rest then the battery either needs charging or if 11v or lower replacing. When the car is started current draw is high and the cars many control units shut down functions to protect them or save power.

If the battery is good then you could try taking out the switch panel and cleaning it and it's plug with a good electrical contact spray, if that doesn't do it a diagnostic scan should point you in the right direction

Hope this helps

Dave
