Why is the keyless entry not working on my BMW 5 Series?

I have a BMW 5 Series and recently the keyless entry has stopped working. The key fob still unlocks the doors and starts the car, but the keyless entry feature won't work. What could be causing this issue and how can I fix it?

Sophia, it sounds like there may be a problem with the keyless entry receiver in your car. Check to make sure the battery in your key fob is not dead and try replacing it if necessary. If that doesn't work, take your car to a BMW dealership or certified mechanic to have the receiver checked and potentially replaced.

Hi Sophia, have you recently installed any new electronic devices in or near your car? Sometimes interference from other devices can disrupt the signal from your key fob. Try removing any new devices or moving them further away from your car and see if that helps.

Sophia, another possibility is that there could be an issue with the keyless entry module itself. This is a common problem with BMW 5 Series models. I recommend taking your car to a BMW dealership or mechanic for a proper diagnosis and to have the module replaced if necessary.
