Re: Newbie: Battery problem

There is a release catch for the boot. It's a little tab that you have to pull. If your inside the car looking out the back window its on the left hand side of the lower folding section. All x5 batteries are in the boot AFAIK under the spare wheel. I've had 2, 4.6 and a 4.8 and both were there. The ...

Re: iPhone in e53

Hmmm. Maybe that's what's happened. When I scroll through the menu I get radio , cd, tape but no AUX. I'm presuming that means nothing is plugged into it then. :(

Re: iPhone in e53

Thanks

Yeah I put the head unit onto Television, then onto AV, but all I get is a blank screen with Mute displayed that I can't switch off. I presume this works as it looks like someone was using it to connect an iPhone/iPod....and yeah volume was right up.

Keys Not working

Hi all For some reason both keys on the X5 have decided to stop operating the locking/unlocking 95% of the time. It seems to have happened really quickly and randomly to both keys. it now takes about 60 seconds of constant pressing of the buttons to unlock the car. I was under the impression that ...
