Hi All,

(2012 X5)

I'm looking for some guidance regarding my ongoing issue with comfort access malfunctioning and causing high battery discharge. This problem has persisted for years despite replacing multiple handles and even getting a new battery.

When I leave the car and use comfort access to lock it, everything works fine for about five minutes. During this time, I can use comfort access to lock and unlock all four handles, and if I start the car, there is no high battery discharge issue. However, after approximately five minutes, the comfort access system seems to "reset" and malfunctions, affecting all four handles. As a result, I have to use the key fob to unlock the car and receive a high battery discharge message upon starting the vehicle.

Any insight & help is greatly appreciated
