Re: Comfort Access

what is comfort access? the keyless engine-start/ stop, where you can leave the keyset in your pocket?

I am collecting my E60 next week with the keyless start/stop feature.

Re: Comfort Access

Comfort access means you can open the car door by touching the door handle and start the car with the remote control in your pocket.

Re: Comfort Access

dont think this can be retrofitted. needs to be factory installed.

Re: Comfort Access

surprising that this does not come as standard... my previous japanese ride which cost less than half come with this feature!

Re: Comfort Access

Any one who knows which PI is selling the rady stock 3-series convertible with this comfort access. Kindly drop me a PM.
I have being to turf-city, and they don't seem to have the comfort access for their E93.
To me...having the comfort access is the Number One criteria for deciding on the car....its 'weird' that even PML did not specs their 3-series with this feature as standard. When IS250 and MercsE200, even Nissan Latio/March has the function in their basic cars.
Thanks.

Re: Comfort Access

comfort access is a nuisence actually...
dunno about other marque..
the pressure sensor ala Bimmer on the handle to lock and unlock is so sensitive even rain drops can unlock the door. one rainy day..i was walking to the car, as i approached .. the door "cluck" unlocked itself... without me touching the handle.. i thought some invisible hand was at work..
same thing with washing car.. any spray of water on the handle areas.. the lock click cluck back and forth. gotta leave the key in the car to prevent such..
visual cue for locked car is on the knob... gotta kill the habit of pulling door handles to confirm doors are locked. if 4 doors- gotta do it on back doors.

Re: Comfort Access

At the moment, C series does not have it too.

When I test drove the Lexus IS250, I had difficulty unlocking the door, hence I guess other marques have different problems.

I think there's a small chance BMW Asia may bring back comfort access for 3 series since they already do it for 5 series.

Re: Comfort Access

sometimes, the wheel need not be reinvented.

comfort access is plain over doing things.

I too prefer the usual press button way to lock and unlock door.

Re: Comfort Access

For me I find this feature very useful. Maybe I'm already used to it.
For example when you are carrying things with both hands, your wife/gf can open the door for you.
Or if you are a girl, you dun have to search the key in your handbag
To me, this is a basic must-have "luxury" item.

Hi All,

Jus found out that with comfort access. i started the car then went out of the car and let my fren drive. They can actually drive off the car with the key still in my pocket. Is it supposed to be this way? Shouldnt the engine be cut off?

Thanks.

yes.. they can still drive it away and turn it off without presence of the key fob.
engine should not cut off for safety reasons.. such as sudden dead battery or squashed key fob when owner is driving.

There should be a safety feature actually, its by range. Don't know whats the safety range for other car but I know the VW Passat have a safety range of 3 meters. I.e. lock/unlock doors or start engine can only be done with the key within 3 meters from the car.

For the Bimmer, my SE told me that the Comfort Access range is 0.5 metres. So if you are standing near the driver's door, no one will be able to open the doors on the other side. Tried and proven.
