X5 asking for CODE on navigation. Won't Start

So first off, thank goodness I have my wife's car around now.

So today after cleaning up in the house i decided to go outside in the "is it about to rain?" weather and do some MODS.

When I get the car up and running I'll start a new thread lol..

So I was putting my SMG paddle shift M wheel on the car and I decided to disconnect the battery this time since the last time i didnt and i ended up riding around with the airbag light. So tried to 'do it right' this time.

Basically after reconnecting the battery and trying to start the car up - the alarm went off and the Nav screen had the code screen.

When i did the nav retrofit i remember messing around with the code, and i remember what i set it to. Entered it in, not working.

So any suggestions? I see the screen says:

Emerg. Deact.
Wait: 9:59 min

I've had key in position 2 and waited the 10 min (set a timer on my storm). Tried starting the car - alarm.

HELP!!!

OK - I called BMW Assist and they connected me to a service manager even though my warranty is out and i dont have bmw assist. They do offer to help for $119 plus $20 towing fee if i need it. They did transfer me for free to a service manager though.

So the SM told me to put the key in position 2 and wait about an hr. My car is sitting in the driveway with the key in it. Hopefully no one takes it.

I think it should still work , the reason it did't work is, you had the switch in position 2.

good luck

OK thanks. I specifically asked the BMW SM that when i called. Position 1 or 2.

I'd go try it again but i don't want to keep the neighbors annoyed with my alarm.
