Sgc22 Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 Hi, new member, I’m collecting my 2015 msport tourer this week. the boot release button on the fob only unlocks the glass part of the tailgate, can you code the car so entire tailgate opens and closes with the fob? all advice greatly appreciated, thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0011718 Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 On my 2014 f11 one button on the key does the rear glass, the other does the boot. I'm sure you can programme these in the vehicle settings on what to open Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0011718 Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 Does it open with the button down at the driver footwell? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve84N Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 It can be coded using Bimmercode. Alternatively you can pay someone who uses the 'proper' software to do it. Bimmercode works most of the time but on rare occasions it cocks up and then it's difficult to fix. Worst case is a bricked module. For what it's worth I've used Bimmercode but forewarned is forearmed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for that, I’m very wary of doing things beyond my skill set Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you have the car in your possession, try the buttons, press and hold the tailgate button for a few seconds. Also check for the settings in the iDrive. My old 2010 F11 (UK) had all buttons working in this way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need to check this since mine doesn't work cheers Do you mean for the tailgate opening button as it is just a switch and doesn't have its own fuse. The switch acts on the CAS module and this is powered from fuses F38 and F56 in the front fuse box. Edited April 19 by Matthew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve84N Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 Could possibly be a coding thing, does it work if you hold the button down? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HandyAndy Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 Given the location of the switch it could easily just be corroded contacts on the switch. Possibly worth popping it out and letting rip with a multimeter.... ... cheap options first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
