A key being faulty is the most common central locking fault. Pop in for a Free Key Test to determine if this is the problem
We offer Key RepairsSometimes it's the car processing the signal from the key that causes the problem. Communication with the module over the OBD port should identify any problems with this. It is a common BMW fault for this module or its wiring to fail.
See below for more informationA faulty or inoperative lock actuator or lock mechanism can also cause central locking issues as generally the system won't activate central locking if one of the locks is not working. Generally replacement is required to solve.

Particularly on tourer vehicles the BMW diversity module has issues with water ingress and wiring failures due to its location. Sometimes the module is repairable, if not it can be replaced and programmed by Dragon Automotive. We also offer the complete wiring loom repairs.
Unfortunately it is relatively common for lock actuators and mechanisms to fail from wear and tear. Repairs tend to require a replacement unit and involve door strip down to install. Dragon are experienced at door card removal and installation.
To check the central locking of any BMW or Mini we always start with a FREE KEY TEST. We utilise an RF Spectrum Analyiser to test the output of the key. Common problems include Flat Batteries, Water Ingress and sometimes BMW keys tend to drift off frequency and need a simple resync.
