OMG THANKYOU!!! Thought it was a serious problem. I did the sameI'm embarrassed to admit this but when I replaced the keyfob battery I forgot to peel off the protective film from the battery... was wondering why the new battery won't work
Thank you soo much, had exact the same symptoms.. this helpedI had this problem after parking my i3 without locking it for a month.
It won’t respond remotely with the buttons on the key fob.
I need to Hold the fob to the steering column to start and drive.
Uses phone apps to lock and unlock.
Also noticed the tyre pressure monitor is not displaying any numbers.
Everything else works fine.
Final fix: disconnect 12 VB for 5 minutes and reconnect.
