You can also turn the engine on or off by pressing the Start/Stop button* without first inserting the remote key."

This sound like what Toyata offers on the Prius at not extra charge!

I think this system should be standard.

Denalio I have the same comfort access problems with my M6. I call it uncomfortable access or no access. I had it in for service four times @ two different dealers for ongoing problems. Century west in North Hollywood kept telling me there was nothing wrong with it." It works fine" Then BMW suggested I take it to Center BMW in Van Nuys. I had Found some info on M5/M6 forum and took it in for service with that info and gave it to S.A. I think it may have helped them fix problems. But i still have problems when phone is in my pocket w/ fob. BMW needs to improve this option. I can't see myself ever ordering c.a. option on future cars . I can do without it. Here is one of the faults that i took to dealer. I know it's from M5, but maybe it's the same problem with X5 http://www.m5board.com/vbulletin/sho...ccess+problems

Thanks for the info. Interesting read. Seems like the same problem I am having. Strange thing is today my phone would not work and kept resetting itself (Blackberry 7100). Computer message said "No phone installed call BMW assistance". Turned truck off and let it sit in the garage for ten minutes and restarted, re-paired the phone and it worked.
