I think this another myth Smarty, as the physical key must have a pos and neg to recharge but alas it is solid... There is a battery (Lithium) and will need changing after around 6-7 years... Awaiting correction :unsure:

just after posing this i desided to try open the key in the end i ended up getting a screw driver and a hammer to open it not reccomended as these are a sealed unit and the battery is not replaceable as its attached to the the board its self no way of getting it off with out breaking it away :(

Does it have a soldered tab on the top of the battery?

TBH When people came in with this problem, they walked out with a NEW cut key and not that expensive really (Included setup too LOL) :rolleyes:

the fob doesnt have a replacable battery does it?doesnt it charge when in the ignition?

i know this i was told by BMW that your key charges everytime you turn it on to drive, and you can programme your keys to your seating postition which is electrically adjustble, so say u have 2 keys and 2 drivers everytime you put the key in it changes to the setting you both made lol, it baffeled me for ages, wondering why my seat kept changing. that was on my 2003 e46 330ci convertible

      Folding mirrors

      Morning Damion I would say yes to the software update (but a Dealer will charge £££) this should be in iDrive try My Vehicle, Vehicle Settings, Doors/Key, then scroll down to mirrors and check Fold Mirrors when Locked If that doesn't work you need help from someone with a BMW capable diagnostic package (ISTA/INPA) to check if it is in a hidden menu. Be aware BMW are making it harder and harder to tinker with the cars mainly after 2019 year so you should be OK Dave

      Centre console iPhone charger

      Morning Rob His was in the car when he brought it and is OEM (car is BMW 330e 2019) apparently works well with his iPhone but not with our daughters Android phone. You could talk to your Dealer but make sure your wallet is in a protected spot 😁 as I have know idea of cost ££££. If BMW are fitting them then there will be Retro fit kits out there from the Far east so worth looking at the Auction sites but I have no knowledge of quality other than the screen in the X5 failed and I replaced it with a complete Android unit from Ebay at less than a 1/3rd of the BMW quote. Truly plug and play allows switching between the OEM CiC and Android gives better GPS and many other programs and has been totally reliable for the last 3 years (that's killed it ) Me I don't spend long enough in the car for my phone to need charging these days 😅 While the X5 has Android Auto and Carplay I have to say like a lot of gadgets they are rarely used. Bluetooth is the only thing I see as an essential Good Luck with the search for a solution Dave

      Folding mirrors

      My X6M has folding mirrors, operated from the normal button, situated on the drivers door arm rest. They don’t fold in when I set the alarm, having read the manual, there’s a setting in the idrive to activate this function but when I scroll down the menu, this option isn’t there. Can the software be updated to add this feature, surely if the button is there and the mirrors are folding ones there must be a solution, or am I missing something completely Thanks in advance
