  1. I had a rather embarrassing problem the other day where as I was trying to pair my phone up incorrectly with the car and accidentally entered the immobiliser code option and ended up have to call out the breakdown people because I do not have the code and the code is nowhere in any of the documentation. He managed to get the car started by disconnecting the battery and letting the headunit count down. The thing I want to know is if I do not have the immobiliser code is there a way to get it reset so that I know what the code is and how would I get that done and how much would it cost
  2. I have just got a new Huawei p30 Pro mobile phone. Using the button on centre console and putting car in pairing mode my phone cannot detect the car. my previous Huawei and Google phones all pair up no problem. Any ideas. My car is e53 2006 X5 with factory sat nav unit
  3. Yeah that's worth checking. So far since unplugging my camera from the power supply I've not had a problem but I will be up to tell tonight after being on long shift at work during the night which is when I had the problem the last time
  4. Yes but doesn't specify a car. The settings the the shop put it down as got the camera working fine but but has since had battery drain which is making me think that the settings are wrong which is why I wanted specific settings for my car and my battery type
  5. For my E53 X5 3.0 d does anybody know what the settings are on a power magic Pro for a blackvue dash cam as I have had mine installed into the car after taking it from my previous car and the guy who installed it didn't know what the settings should be but did enough with the toggle switches to get the camera working and it killed my battery the other day so the power magic pro is obviously set up wrong so if anybody knows what settings on the toggle switches should be on that would be brilliant hello spell technology hi
  6. Took a bit of going backwards and forwards checking but it turned out was number 29 on my list but I cannot see her where to purchase it.
  7. I've been through the section for my car and viewed the exploded pic of the boot hatch but couldn't see anything on the list for the switch
  8. The bulb problems I've had at the rear always seem to to be loose connections or a connection popping off. I'll check at site for a replacement switch
  9. Hi guys hope someone can offer some advice please. My E53 boot outside release button (between registration lights) does not work. No click on the bottom when pressed. In fact there's no feel of anything when pressed like the button going in. The only ways to release the boot is via the remote or on the center console. Problem is I cannot find a button online. Millions of interior buttons but not the external hatch button. Does anyone know if its just likely to be a failed button or something more costly. Also if anyone could link me to a reasonably priced button that would great. Cheers.
  10. You are right. We did it 2 days ago. I forgot to update this thread. We took the panal off the back and a cable had been dislodged. All working now cheers
  11. You were exactly right. Blowing red hot now very nice. Thanks so much for you help
  12. That's a bit naff, my BMW has probably had a few owners but if the vulnerability is still there it's still there no matter how many owners has been through
  13. I have a funny feeling my friend might have forced the Hatch shut yesterday when trying to get the pool table into the back but I will try the WD40 option. The reason I say it might have been forced closed is when I have just been looking at it the the end of the Hatch that is stuck seems to be further in in as you can see by the photo where has the other end the lights are flush
  14. Yet another problem. Yesterday I did someone a favour and picked op a pool table they had bought. It was a very very tight squeeze. We managed to get the top and bottom boot hatches shut. Now I have a problem whereas the drivers side lock for the drop down hatch won't release. Passenger side is OK. I can hear the mechanism working but it's not releasing drivers side lock. Hope this makes sense. I need to know if anyone has had this problem and how they resolved it.
  15. Got it sorted. Was the hedgehog. Blowing really well now but struggling to get heat out of it so far but not give it a good run out yet
