Opening and Closing Keys/Remote Control BMW 2007-m6

Locking and unlocking a BMW 2007-m6 can be done using a traditional key or a remote control. However, for BMW 2007-m6 owners, using a remote control to lock and unlock the car is certainly more practical and modern. The remote control on a BMW 2007-m6 consists of two types of keys, namely the opening key and the closing key.

The opening key is used to open the car doors, while the closing key is used to lock the car doors and activate the alarm. However, for those who are not familiar with it, using a remote control on a BMW 2007-m6 may take some time to understand how it works. Therefore, this article will discuss how to use the opening and closing keys/remote control on a BMW 2007-m6 in a complete and easily understandable manner.

Keys/remote control

Opening and Closing KeysRemote Control BMW 2007 m6

1 Remote control with integrated key
2 Spare key
3 Adapter for spare key, in glove compartment

Remote control with integrated key

Each remote control contains a battery which is automatically charged in the ignition lock while driving. Drive a longer distance with each remote control at least twice a year to keep the battery charged. For comfort access*, the remote control contains a replaceable battery.

Depending on which remote control is detected by the vehicle during unlocking, different settings are called up and carried out in the vehicle, refer to Personal Profile. Information on the required maintenance is also stored in the remote control.

  • Hotel function
  • Driver’s door
  • Luggage compartment lid
New remote controls

To obtain additional or replace lost keys, new remote controls with an integrated key are available at your BMW center.

Spare key

Store the spare key in a safe place such as your wallet. This key is not intended for regular use. The spare key and integrated key of the remote control fit the same locks.

Remove the adapter from the holder in the glove compartment and slide the spare key into the adapter before use.

Personal Profile

The concept

You can set a number of functions of your BMW individually according to your preferences. Personal Profile ensures that most of these settings are stored for the remote control currently in use without you having to do anything. When the vehicle is unlocked, the corresponding remote control is detected and the settings
stored for it are called up and carried out.

This means that you will always find your BMW set to your own personal settings even if another person with his/her own remote control and settings has used the vehicle since the last time you drove it. The individual settings are stored for a maximum of four remote controls.

Personal Profile settings

Details on the settings are provided on the specified pages.

  • When unlocking with the remote control, either unlock only the driver’s door or unlock the entire vehicle.
  • Locking the vehicle after a short time or after starting to drive
  • Programming button on steering wheel

Convertible: top

The fully automatic convertible top combines secure weather protection with simple and convenient operation. Here are a few tips for getting the maximum pleasure from your Convertible:

  • It is advisable to close the convertible top when the vehicle is parked. The closed convertible top not only protects the passenger compartment from unforeseen weather damage, it also provides a certain amount of protection from theft. Nonetheless, even if the convertible top is closed, only keep valuables in the locked luggage compartment.
  • Do not attach luggage rack systems to the convertible top.

▶ If you have initiated top movement with the vehicle at a stop and then start to drive, e.g. at a traffic light, you can continue the initiated operation up to a speed of 20 mph/ 30 km/h: To do so, press and hold the corresponding button.

▶ Partial vacuums that occur at higher speeds in the passenger compartment can make the convertible top flap. Use the automatic climate control to increase the air volume so that a partial vacuum in the vehicle does not occur.

Prior to opening and closing
  • Read the safety precautions above carefully and comply with them fully.
  • Ensure that the convertible top compartment floor in the luggage compartment is folded down, as otherwise
  • the convertible top cannot be opened.
  • Make sure that the luggage compartment lid is closed.
