Something is weird about the alarm..

It won't lock sometimes. This has happen a few times so anyone know the reason why?? Sometimes during the weekends when I'm in the city and I FINALLY find parking on the streets (which is a PITA), i get out of my car and press the "lock" button on the key fob it won't lock. I press it many times and it still won't lock so I'm thinking something is interfering with the signal so I find another spot a few blocks down and it locks. What is the cause of this?? Signal interference?? Has this happen to anyone else? thanks...

This happen on 23 st. and madison ave. And also by st. marks and 3rd ave.

yeah i've had interference problems before too. just do it the old-fashioned way: put the key in that little hole in the door, turn, and voila, it will lock, even activating the alarm system as indcated by the single beep!!

I had that problem, took it into BMW of Beverly Hills, on the spot they reset the computer code regarding remote door locking and presto, all fixed. Hope that helps.

It's happened to me a few times. Sometimes if I just move 5 feet up/down/over it works. Not everytime or every location but it is strange. If you find out anything let us know.

I go to a local greasy-spoon restaurant for breakfast sometimes. My key fob will not work in their parking lot. I have to actually have to put the key in the door lock. I think something is interfering with the signal or the car is rebelling against all the farm trucks and police cars surrounding it.
