Doesn't recognize the key on BMW X1, why?
Years 2009-2015

Answer

Probably the key recognition problem on BMW X1 depends on the remote control battery flat or about to run out. Even if this does not solve the problem, there could be some problem with the signal receiver in the car and at that point it is better to contact the nearest BMW center.
