2012 x3 rear hatch

[colinallcars]

Is a 2012x3 msport designed to allow the tailboard to be opened via the key fob?I possess a button on the key for opening the trunk; however, when I press it, there is no response. It is worth noting that the tailgate is non-electric, and while the key unlocks it in conjunction with the central locking system, it fails to release it. The handle switch operates without issue, but the key does not.

Have you attempted a prolonged press of the button?

Indeed, there is still no response; is it intended to disengage the latch?

[xsports]

Indeed, they typically do.

If you possess multiple keys, are they identical? If that is the case, it likely eliminates the keys.

I presume the vehicle does not unlock when the boot button is pressed for an extended duration? Behaviour fluctuates over the years, determining whether it facilitates access (My 2017 F22 does) or not (2010 E81 did not). If it indeed unlocks the doors, it appears that the vehicle is receiving a signal, yet for some reason, it is not opening the trunk.

It may be beneficial to examine the key settings to see if there is a menu available in the vehicle, as such features can occasionally be deactivated. Alternatively, if you possess BimmerCode, check for an available option regarding it.

The boot release merely replicates the function of the button on the bootlid, rendering it somewhat impractical since one must still grasp the handle to elevate it.
