I received a letter from my Insurance company re Key Fob security issues, suggesting a mandatory visit to the main dealers, which i did combined with a 28,000 mile service. The software update was undertaken , apparently it can take up to three hours. I did inform my Insurance that the update had been undertaken and asked them to confirm that as i was fully comp i would be covered in the event it disappeared when locked .
The answer seemed alarmingly vague, ( no pun intended ) so i wonder have BMW GB really sorted this issue out or have i just been fobbed off in the event they can sell me a new car if my 2009 X 5 ( high risk ) model gets stolen , presuming they pay me out , and dont wriggle out by quoting the faulty key fob storey !!!!!
Anyone any news or do i have to sleep with one eye open ?

Re: Key Fob Security
If you feel your insurance company is being vague, you really need to to get them to clarify their position on the matter. If they are not covering your car fully them you need to speak to BMW UK to see what they intend to do to resolve the situation and restore the insurance companies faith in BMWs security systems.

Re: Key Fob Security
Thanks Don, i will write to my Insurance as i have 20 years NCB record reflected in my premium and dont want to suffer through no fault of my own, particularly as i leave the car at Man Airport on long haul trips quite often.! (3 car parks known locally as Mancudia Triangle were cars disappear regularly )
There seems to be a grey area re cover , and i have read in the press of people that have had their newish 2009 - 2010 BMWs disappear and had issues re payout amount re values leaving them out of pocket when their cars like mine were low miles and immaculate !
