Opening and closing Opening and closing Keys/remote controls New remote controls Your BMW center can supply new remote controls with integrated keys as additional units or as replacements in the event of loss. Personal Profile The concept You can set many of your BMW's functions to suit your personal needs and preferences. Without any action on your part, Personal Profile ensures that most of these settings are stored for the remote control currently in use. When you unlock the car, the remote control used for the purpose is recognized and the settings stored for it are called up and implemented. This means that your personal settings will be activated for you, even if in the meantime your car was used by someone else with another remote control and the corresponding settings. The individual settings are stored for up to three remote controls. Each remote control contains a rechargeable battery that is automatically recharged when it is in the ignition lock while the car is being driven. Use each remote control at least twice a year for longer road trips in order to maintain the batteries' charge status. In cars with convenient access*, the remote control contains a replaceable battery, refer to page 38. The settings called up and implemented when the car is unlocked depend on which remote control is used to unlock the car, refer to Personal Profile, page 28. In addition, information about service requirements is stored in the remote control, refer to Service data in the remote control, page 228.
