No Beeping/Chirp when locking/unlocking
Hello guys, our F15 is not beeping/chirping when locking/unlocking the vehicle and the audible alerts are ON in the iDrive, any idea what's wrong with our X5?

There's a red light on the rear view mirror - it's visible from outside facing the windshield. Does it flash many times when you lock unlock? If it does - there's something not closed in your car - hood, trunk, door etc. in that case there will be no chirping sound. Check that first please. it's a factory feature - if you didn't hear chirping - come back to car and check all doors, hood, trunk etc.

Just did it and no fix at all ! The red alarm light is blinking 20 times exactly after locking the vehicle

Hi Humberto,
(I think I remember you from another forum) did you own an X3 before? Regarding your issue, with the multiple flashing, the alarm system is trying to tell you that there's a problem with the system. A sensor malfunction, or even the siren could be bad. (Does the siren go off if you trigger the panic function?) The only real way to know is to read the codes in the alarm ECU, you can use the Bimmerlink app for that. The other thing that could happen, if you bought it used, a previous owner could have coded the beep off, again, for this you'll need another app called Bimmercode and you can code it back. Both apps work with the same Bluetooth dongle. Good luck!

So yeah, you probably have a bad siren speaker or sensor. I wouln't rule out that someone has messed with the coding before, there are several different settings you can change for the alarm. You can check here: http://bimmercodeapp.com/cars/f15/

Ohhhh I really remember you ! Glad to have you here buddy! I just compared the functions of bimmercode and BMWCarly and they are basically the same. I have determined that the speaker/level sensor is done. Just found one at ebay for $60, it's already on it's way home, I'll let you know how the story will end for sure.

Any idea how to access the siren location? Do you think that removing the rear passenger fender liner could I access the siren and replace it?

You could try and code the chirp off with your Carly and then after a reboot (sleep) try to code it back in.
Unlikely that this would help but easy enough to do to give it a shot. Could be the module is just screwed up and changing the setting back and forth straightens things out. Slim chance. |
