Flashing red lights on both key fobs

[fredgroves]

Well, it will talk with UWB but if you look at my thread on keyless, it should be quite close before it does it.

I've never seen mine do it...

I did point out that it appears to be BS to the service guy but he insisted that the master tech had looked it up so it must be true. I asked if I get free replacement batteries when the fobs die? Of course sir was the answer. 🤷‍♂️

To confirm, my key fob has a small illuminating red light that flashes as I approach the vehicle.

It's clearly the key communicating with the car, irrespective of keyless entry being enabled or not.

[Ubique]

Yes, I have keyless off.

[joet]

Yes, I have keyless off.

I've worked out why it flashes even with keyless off.
It's to do with the convenience lighting. If you have it set to activate on approach the key light flashes. If you deactivate it, the light does not flash

[fredgroves]

Ahhh convenience lighting... The thingy which someone else was asking why their car lit up when they walk near it...

Where is the settings for that?

Vehicle settings, exterior, comfort light.

I guess you only want it on if you are using keyless and without unlock on approach... Because pressing the remote lights it up as does approach unlock...

What is the setting in that menu? I don't have anything in there that does that... Suspect that's one of the bw48 things....

[joet]

Strange.
On mine it's at the bottom of the menu. You have to scroll the screen to get to it. Below the leaving delay time
