HI GUYS,HAS ANY ONE CAME ACROSS THE PROBLEM OF THE CAR 1999 M5 ASKING FOR A CODE (WHICH I DON'T HAVE) TO ENABLE THE CAR TO START. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME AFTER DOING A VIRGIN NAV TV FIT(components from an 04 x5)TO VEHICLE, BUT THE BATTERY WENT DEAD.WAS RUNNING FINE UP TO THEN,BUT NOW ASKING FOR CODE.JOCHEN IN NEW ZEALAND HAS BEEN A GREAT HELP, BUT HE ON VACCATION AT PRESENT.I'VE TRIED THE EMERGENCY 10MIN COUNT DOWN SYSTEM BUT THE TIMER DOES NOT START COUNTING,STAYING AT 9MINS 59 SECS,THEN REVERTING TO THE MAIN DISPLAY. LOCAL BMW AGENTS CAN'T HELP AS THEY ARE SAYING THAT THE CODE NEEDED COULD BE FOR EITHER E39 OR X5, AND THAT IMMOBILISER CONTROL UNITS ARE IN CONFLICT. CAN ANYONE HELP AS CAR IS DEAD AT THE MOMENT AS BLOCKING DRIVEWAY!!! JUST AS A FOOTNOTE I'M NOT A CAR THIEF,AND CAN PROVE OWNERSHIP IF REQUIRED,BEFORE POSTING THIS TREAD. GETTING DESPERATE NOW
COLIN
