I've just brought a 2003 bmw x5. when I lock the car with the remote, the led on the dash remains on permanently. However if I lock it with the key it flashes as it says it should do in the manual. I've checked and when the car is locked with the remote the car is deadlocked. any help?

Hi there, u might have to have codes pulled and see if there is any. there might be a problem with the alarm module.

bmlaser, welcome to the community.

thank you for quick respons, I will get the car booked into a Main BMW Dealer for them to have a look at it.

Hello, My neighbor has a X5 3.0d, private number plate, so the year is unknown. The alarm seems to have a mind of its own, going off all the time. I thought it was because she parked with one side on the pavement, but it happens when parked totally on the street as well. I've read that sensors cause this problem. Is there anything I can get her to disable? Is this a known problem? I could use a good nights sleep, can anyone help? Thanks, Sean

how about removing the battery???
