SOURCE: Locked out

Connect jumper cables to the starter connection which should be visible under the car, hot to the bolted battery cable connection, negative to any ground. Connect the other end to a battery after you have crawled out from under the car.  Also consider; my BMW had the battery in the trunk, which should open with a key.

SOURCE: Battery is dead. Doors are locked. Can't get into car.

I m a locksmith and had the same problem

What you do is:

HOld The handle up while you turn the key to the opening direction, it will feel as though it may bend the key but it will not.

keep pulling the handle until the button pops up it works I did it

SOURCE: BMW Z3 WRONG UNLOCK RADIO CODE HOW TO GET THE RIGHT ONE

If the radio is displaying code wait, or wait, then the ignition and radio must remain on for 1hour. I would contact a dealer within the USA and provide them with your radio serial number. The serial number can be displayed in the radio by pressing and holding down the "M" button while turning on the ignition.

SOURCE: BMW Z3 WRONG UNLOCK RADIO CODE HOW TO GET THE RIGHT ONE

Go back to the dealer that told you the wrong number ! I have one and I am currently living in the Middle East but the car was brought from Europe... they have access and can track it down... Tell them that is the wrong code and not acceptable service...I asked to speak to a service mgr and they got it to me.. are you going to have your car serviced there ?? That's the point of paying for dealership service... so they can supply GOOD service and getting you the proper code counts...

Its possible the power lock actuator has ceased up this would cause the locks not to lock or unlock and not budge as you would say. BMW probably has some fancy name for the part and you bet its probably pricey. Its also possible a piece inside the door has jammed the assembly. I would pull the door panel and do an inspection. See what the actuator is doing when you hit the unlock or lock button and see what it does when you use the key. You would also be able to see if there are any obstructions of the lock assembly.

I had an aftermarket radio installed in a 1997 bmw z3. After installation, the key fob no longer locks or unlocks the doors. Any ideas for a fix.

everything keyless runs on frequencies if you removed the radio most likely it removed the keyless entry too especially in a beemer

1996 Z3 won't start nor will the key lock/unlock the doors. Full charge on battery, when I turn the key it does nothing. Is this a Security cut off, and if so, how did this happen? Thanks

Sounds like a security lock out. You will probably end up at a dealer for more info on your specific cars system. You may want to try changing the battery in the remote.

Central lock not working from remote in Z3 1998

stand beside it and hold the lock AND unlock buttons at the same time for about 5 seconds until you hear the locks "click" then you should be off to the races.... If that doesn't work, look inside the drivers manual, should be some literature about it in there

Keyless remote

Disconnect the battery from your car (negative cable only) overnight. Make sure you have your radio reset code before doing so.

Then reconnect after 10 hours, and make sure you have remote handy as alarm may go off. Then if that doesnt fix it, go to driver door, then insert master key, pull up on handle first all the way and hold it. Then turn the key slowly all the way so the doors unlock and continue turning the key. This will reset the central locking system as yours may have gotton stuck. then remove key let go of handle, open door and try to lock and unlock doors from switch inside car.

Then try remote. It should work, this is what the dealer will do and charge you about $350...if it doesnt work order a new remote b/c yours may have become damaged by liquid or dropping?

Have a great day,

Thanks,

Mark
