 Please help! Remote Alarm/Red LED next to Ash Tray (PROBLEM)
OK... bought a 318ti, the remote alarm/unlocker worked the first day I test drove. Week later, when I made the trek back across the state line to buy it, it didn't work the day I bought it, the dealership said it needed a new battery. I was suspicious because the red light on the remote was working but being a novice... I went with what they said. I replaced the battery, and then I was told I didn't do it quick enough, and the configuration was lost. And I needed to recalibrate the damn thing, at an OEM BMW Dealership no less. So, I brought it in, and low and behold, after following the steps to "reinitialize the key fob", the remote still wouldn't work. Then they said the Red Led was completely dim (next to the cigarette lighter/ashtray), and it didn't (and still does not) flash, so that was the problem. And the fact that I had put in a Pioneer aftermarket stereo into the car could have also been the problem. But the problem happened when I had the stock deck installed.
Bottom line is, I'm wondering how I can fix the damn little dim Red LED next to my ashtray. Hopefully that's why it's not working? No fuses are blown, already checked that. I'm about to break down and pay the $85 an hour or whatever to get it fixed because having an alarm would be damn nice, especially before I get deployed. I don't have alot of money so any advice, much appreciated. |
