Kam 3 Report post Posted April 16, 2021 I have been trying to tackle my remote central locking. Remote key gives off a signal. Diversity Antenna is not receiving signal. Checked wiring in the latch area. All seems good The fm stereo works fine. My plan is to bypass the diversity antenna and fit an after market remote. I can still lock and unlock the car using the key in the drivers door. So its not urgent but would like to fix it. I have searched for a replacement diversity however no joy. A new one would have to come from abroad and cost in total nearly$1200 There must be a work around. I had an auto electrician patch into the body control module. When the remote was activated only the rear doors locked and unlocked. Any ideas. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kam 3 Report post Posted April 18, 2021 Thanks for the replies. It looks like the wiring has been tackled before. I haven't gone further into the roof line. Could try that. I have been unsuccessful finding a diversity antenna with the same part number. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's very rarely the antenna diversity though, so I'd be looking very closely at that wiring. Or maybe take it to the dealer or a good Indy who knows BMWs. The proper way to diagnose this fault is with an oscilloscope, and you have to know which wires to check with the oscilloscope. Most garages or Auto Sparkies won't have any knowledge of this.
