Happy with Confort Access ?

[jcreed]

you can open any door you pull. however only the door on the side of the person with the key opens. i.e if the driver has the key and approaches the driver door.. the passenger on the other side cant open the door until the driver has first.. however you can use i drive and set it to unlock all doors when the person with the key opens 1 door

How does CA handle 2 fobs in the same location? If my girlfriend has the other fob and I were to touch the handle on the passenger door first , would it use her driver preferences or mine?

I have it in my X5 and it was a $1,000 option. I will never buy another car without it! Absoulte MUST HAVE option.

There is very little delay in unlocking the door. There have been times I grabbed the handle and pulled too quickly. It unlocks while I have the handle out and then I just have to pull again. I have to learn to pause slightly and not be so anxious to get in my beautiful car!!

I touch the drivers door handle and it unlocks my door only. If I have a passenger I just touch the rear door handle and it unlocks all the doors.

There is a bigger delay when opening the rear hatch. Not sure what that is all about. I have learned to press and hold till it activates.

Since I was not willing to wait 8 weeks for a factory order, the 5 that I found in stock had two options that I thought I really didn't want..this one and the premium sound. Well I'm glad I paid for both. 1. The comfort access is a nice touch..I always leave the keys in my pocket (you don't need to insert it into ign. slot as stated above). And when locking it, there's only a slight delay while the 5 senses that your'e not leaving the keys inside. Gee--just like TiVo--one you have it you wonder how you ever lived without it.

2. Premium sounds good.

I only wish I would have gone w/the more powerful V8, though the straight 6 does the job.

It's definitely worth $1K, especially in a heavy windy rainstorm, with your umbrella inside out and your laptop bag over your shoulder. No fumbling for keys, just grab the handle and you're in!
