Central locking remote not working

Post by Dee Dub »

Remote fob LED flashes, but the bike doesn't respond. I've replaced the fob's battery, no difference. Central locking works when I press the handlebar button, which helps for now but I can't activate the alarm.


Any ideas? What can I check, please?


Background note: This is almost certainly a co-incidence (?) but the problem started when I removed the rear wheel. The remote hasn't worked since.

I have the same problem, like you I thought it was a battery key fob issue.  I have done the synchro/ recalibrate as per manual but still not working.  Due for a service and MOT in a couple of weeks so the BMW dealer can have a play.

Thanks. I went through the various registering rigmaroles too, and was getting no confirmatory "acoustic signals" as indicated in the manual. However, somehow this has cleared the problem and the remote locking/alarm now works!


Now if I could just remember where the hell I've 'safely hidden' the spare fob, I'd check that one too!


Good luck with fixing your problem Scunny.

When I reset mine a couple of months ago, theres a post on here somewhere,  I too had no beeps or beeps, both remotes reset fine. Very strange!
