What year is your X5? These instructions are on page 49 of the 2004 manual and they do work. I have done it more than once and no dealer was ever required to program seats. My wifes key goes dead once ina a while in which case she has to use it a few days in the ignition to recharge it. Read and follow the direction carefully.

Yeah, you can program the key anytime you want for the seats and steering wheel, but I didnt know about the mirrors...Just press the M button when your position is set...And once the key dies, you will have to re-program it...

Seat/mirror memory when unlocking is a feature that must be activated by a dealer. Once activated your key will then be able to call up your personalized settings.

Help me out. Please show us where that is stated in the manual. Page 49 of the owners manual shows that this procedure is an owner operated programing feature.

Pg 49 simply refers to using the seat memory buttons. Turn to page 50 and you will see it says in the upper-left:

"You can have your vehicle programmed to automatically dial in your own individual adjustment settings for the seat, mirrors, and steering wheel whenever you use your personal remote control to unlock the vehicle."

The wording and exact page number vary from year to year, but the concept is the same.

You know what I'm finding is that different people are having different experiences depending on what year their X is and what was done before they took delivery as well as what was either included at the factory. I have had none of these issues and the only thing I mentioned before I took delivery was no runnung lights and no automatic locks. But that wasn't written down as instructions for delivery. The X just came that way. Thats what happend with everything. I just looked the programming thing up in the manual and followed the instructions. Anyway I hope it gets solved. Have a great day.
