By the end of reading through this BMW document...you should have a greater grasp of a lot of the electronic systems in your car...including EWS/DWA/FZV (immobilizing sytem/central locking system/anti-theft alarm siren system)...and the seat/mirrors/steering column operations etc.

You can see in the topology chart below...how the GM III is the main control module for multiple systems around your vehicle...and if you download the PDF (at the link above)...it will go into detail how all these systems communicate & interact with each other.

Hello. Sorry to hijack a thread but......Would this also control automatic headlights and hazard flashers? My 2002 X5 E53 is having the key remote lock/unlock issue, hazards coming on after unlocking car and automatic headlights going off while driving. Headlights set to ON stay on tho.

Thanks
