Hi there

The bmw you have sounds like a door contact switch or door catch or wiring if it is possiable to check this, if you cannot enter the system using ZKE / ZVM (Central Body Module) under the E38 please try the E39 series to try communication if this still fails please contact your dealer with the cars full details for a software error check i case there is a problem with our software.

There is no option for E39 Chassis and when I use E38 I can go to ZKE but not ZKE/ZVM are we missing some software ? Once I go into ZKE I get data options but no data.

Hi there

there is no option for 5 series E39? if this is the case about the software entering the system on E38 live data and there is no live data display please contact your dealer about the software error. then we can test the software data on this car and series.... to correct if necessary
