R56 Help - Key Fob's dead
#1
#4
If both key fobs don't work you have a problem other than a key fob issue, and the dealer will need to fix it.

All keys recharge in the slot (regardless of the package you selected). My dealer had recommended that I swap the key fobs out occasionally. So, now I have a FOB for odd months and 1 for even months ;-) He also mentioned there were no longer batteries, but I believe he was just stating you no longer had to replace the batteries.
I thing I wonder about the original poster with the dead FOB, did you try to make sure the physical key itself was seated correctly in the FOB. I thought I was having trouble with my FOB and so I took the key out of the FOB and put it back in and haven't had problems since. Which... is probably completely unrelated ;-)

To the OP,
Have you called the dealer? If it is a faulty fob battery, you might be able to mail it to them. If possible, check to see if the other fob is getting charged porperly.

Not true. The Convenience Access fob uses a non-rechargeable battery. Putting it in the slot does not charge it. With Convenience Access, there is no point in putting it in the slot. Might as well leave it in your pocket or purse.

Why not call the dealer and see if you can mail it to them? They may be able to check out the key fob without needing to have your car. All dealers have key fob "readers" used to write-up service and check your vehicles' service history. It's worth a shot to give them a call, especially if it's just a dead battery.
