Did anyone get a resolution on this. One of my keyfobs on my 2008 E70 X5 wouldn't open the central locking today but would start the car when it was in the dash holder.
I used the spare to open the car and then drove using the original just in case it was the battery needed recharging.
When my wife drove the car it was fine on the way to work, but on the way home the car just went into neutral and stopped.
We tried the spare key again and this works as normal. certainly points to a key issue, but since the spare key was used, everything seems to have reset (time/bluetooth/radio stations/sat nav). I know change in key can be programmed to individuals but I never thought it would behave like the battery had been disconnected.
Anyone else seen this behaviour?
