Why is the remote control no longer recognized on the BMW X1?
Years 2009-2015

Answer

If on BMW X1, produced from 2009 to 2015, it should happen that the car no longer responds to the remote control impulses and at the moment of switching on the on-board computer the phrase "remote control not recognized" appears, it is possible that the remote control battery is discharged, or that following a fall the code transmission antenna located inside the key is broken. The first tip is to try to open / start the car with the spare key supplied. If this attempt is also unsuccessful, it is possible that there is a fault in the vehicle's electronic control unit or that there is a malfunction in the coding of the key code; in this case it will be necessary to go to a specialized workshop to solve the malfunction.
