All the locksmiths I have called say they cant do it and a new window is going to cost about $500 aud. The closed bmw dealer is 700 km in Brisbane and replacement keys are apparantly on back order and could take weeks. I have tried the "secret " lever behind the number plate but its so secret its not there. I have Pm Ucrewx5 but he has not replied. can anybody else help?????

not sure which UCrewX5 you PM'd but it wasn't me. I did shoot you a PM with what I know. Hope it helps.

Blaming a 2 year old for the problem? Man up and say that you screwed up by locking the keys in the truck. What was your two year old doing with the keys to the trucK? Taking her baby brother to day care?

My door carrier on the driver side broke some time ago. With the help of the forum, I was able to change it. I can now open my door with the handle. Later, I noticed that I couldn't open the door by inserting the key. No idea what I did wrong. It's cold now and I don't want to go opening the door up again. So I may need to know how to do something like this just in case until I can figure out what I did wrong. Also, my rear hatch button doesn't work now either when the doors are unlocked. Weird.

Microswitch or a wire on the tail gate is broken.

It was working before I changed the carrier.

Are we talking about the hatch release at the back of the truck or on the remote?

The hatch release on the back of the truck. If the truck is unlocked, i used to be able to go the back and just hit the button on the hatch and it would unlock the hatch. Since I fixed the carrier, it doesn't unlock it anymore. Just as my key doesn't work in the keyhole anymore. Not sure what I fudged up. I followed the directions on changing the carrier precisely.

Have 02 X5 with remote not working and lock cylinder not working(just turns). Any way to get in? Thanks.

Did the same some time ago. Here http://www.xoutpost.com/bmw-sav-foru...inder-fix.html Post#8 -> you might not have put the part at the right (in blue) into the right position. You need to unscrew the whole door lock mechanism and bring that part where it belongs.

Good luck.
