    Question In need of some help

    Hey y'all,

    I just replaced the trunk lift struts on my '98 740i. While testing the remote functionality, I held the trunk button too long and it went into panic mode. Now my remote won't unlock or lock the car, central locking isn't work, the car won't start, the trunk won't close, and I can't lock the driver's door.

    Any advice is greatly appreciated.

    On your MID or NAV do you have CODE or a countdown?

    Try putting your key in the drivers door and turning it to unlock-lock-unlock. That should activate and deactivate the central locking. I've solved weird no-communication issues with my key by doing that.
