KL-R Stays On After Ignition Off – Comfort Access Only

MODEL

E60, E61 (5 Series)
E63, E64 (6 Series)
E65, E66 (7 Series)
E90, E91 (3 Series)

Vehicles with option 322 (Comfort Access) only.

INFORMATION
Customers of vehicles equipped with Comfort Access may complain that their radio stays on (terminal/KL-R) after switching off the ignition (pressing the START/STOP button and no remote key in the CAS).

This is normal operation of the Comfort Access feature. Refer to the Owner's Manual (Radio readiness section).

The following systems are still active:
  • The audio system
  • The time and outside temperature is displayed in the instrument cluster
  • The screen, on vehicles equipped with CID (Central Information Display)
KL-R can be turned off by:
  • Locking the vehicle
  • Pressing the START/STOP button a second time
  • Letting vehicle go to sleep (approx. 16 minutes)
NOTE: When the remote key was inserted in the ignition lock and removed after ignition off, KL-R will switch off immediately; i.e. operated as a vehicle without Comfort Access.

Thanks Carlos. I can see myself getting into the habit of a 2nd push of the START/STOP button.

I was going to ask, when and how does the vehicle lock the doors with CA, does anyone know? When the fob's out of range? Or when it "goes to sleep"? I ain't leaving my car unlocked for up to 16 minutes, that's for sure!

Guys, this just is not a problem.

When you hit "stop," you just hold the button for an extra count, and the sound system (and iDrive screen) turn off along with the engine. No double presses required. It's very easy & natural.

The interior lights then come on until you open the door to leave.

After you get out and shut the door, you touch the ribbed area on the top of the door handle, and both doors lock.

Later, when you come back to your car, the act of grasping the door handle is enough to unlock it.

It will spoil you for any other access system.

Yes at this point everything is a little confusing, but next week after the official lunch and some of the cars being release, then everything will be clear
