Got my BMWhat app

Yes with Carly you can program the driver door or all doors to unlock after turning ignition off, mine does all doors now and its such a good feature. Others aren't wondering why doors aren't opening anymore as they tried to get out.

I use an iPhone 6 with the Carly app and the only way to unlock the doors is not when I stop the engine, but when I pop the key from the ignition. It's like, turn off the engine and then tap the key and all doors will open. It makes sense if you stop to a gas station and you don't want to open all doors before making sure the surroundings are safe (I have kids), while you already turned off the engine.

There is an option to instantly pop the key when you turn off the engine, this way you'd have the car automatically open all doors using only the START/STOP button (called convenience-something, forgot the name) but there is no way, at least on my 2012 X35i, to have the doors open when i turn off the engine with the key still in the ignition. At least I haven't figure it out, yet. The downside is the car will shut everything off once the key pops out of the ignition. Most times I need to turn off the engine and still be able to listen to the radio.

Hold the stop button for a few seconds and it will unlock. Like how you do to eject the key but since there's no key in there, it unlocks

It doesn't work. On the good side, holding down the start button will turn off the radio and the lights in the car as opposed to before when I had to remove the key from the ignition in order to turn everything off. I have a garage and the key is always in the ignition while it stays inside.

ok car's MIL came on so I got out my Carly and iPad and here is what it pulled (I editted out anything that was ok):

how can I use this to figure out what might be wrong? thanks!

The first thing you need to know is whether all the faults are currently present or have been stored at some time in the past. Make sure that the battery is fully charged, then run another diagnostic and clear all the fault codes - this will eliminate any historically stored codes leaving only those that relate to current issues with the car.
To display these, run a second diagnostic after the codes have been cleared and the result will return current faults. If you report the results back here we can go from there.

I had previously cleared them on 11/14 so anything from my earlier post today is from within the last 3 weeks, here is from Nov 14th after clearing only 1 came back:

I believe only that same 00A811 came back again today after clearing the codes, but I did it with the engine running since the battery low warning was coming on and I was having trouble connecting without the engine running. You will see it says only 11.4# for the battery from the 11/14 run, it's still the original battery from 2007

[David Mc]

Low battery is more than likely to be the cause of your problems. E70's originally came with a conventional lead acid battery, many of which did not last long as the car's computer modules can remain active for up to 20 minutes after switch off/locking. The situation becomes even worse if one or more of the car's modules continues to impose a parasitic drain on the battery (I believe the telephone module is the primary offender for this type of problem). BMW's initial response was to market a battery tender kit (basically a small charger that you had to connect to the car whenever it was parked up), but they have revised their initial response and now recommend AGM batteries for these cars. The conventional battery suffers permanent damage once the charge level dips below about 70%, whereas the AGM units are capable of far greater discharge levels.
A battery voltage of 11.4v with the engine running is extremely low - you should be seeing around 13.8 - 14.0 volts with the car running.
I would be checking the battery with a battery tester or a Digital Voltmeter with the engine off. If the car has been running for more than 20 minutes and the battery voltage is under 12.5v, it may be time to get out your shovel and bury the old battery.

yeah I am definitely planning on replacing the battery ASAP, and sorry I wasn't more clear:

Today with engine running the report shows: BATTERY: 14.7#
Nov 14 without engine running the report shows: BATTERY: 11.4#


as for the MIL that came on, I am assuming this is the cause:

0. Motor Control:
<--------------------------->
Engine / Motor:
- Fault: Tank level
- Code: 002A22
- Fault: DM-TL 0.5 MIL leak off
- Code: 002A16


do I just google "002A16 DTC BMW"? nothing comes up so I'm stuck how to research this code and what "DM-TL 0.5 MIL leak off" is. Sorry, this is my first time using the app for diagnostic (I just purchased OBD Fusion as well from other advice in different thread here)

[David Mc]

DM-TL= Diagnostic Module for Tank Leakage. superfine leak Code 002A16 is for a superfine leak.
