The diversity antennas/amplifiers operate to choose and integrate two signals from two separate antennas into one signal, and indeed, the back window has two separate FM antennas that run down the R and L side of the window. Whether the antenna diversity amplifier is also involved in boosting the key signal I suppose is a separate question - it sounds like you went through this so I defer.

I am having problems with my remote keys. I can only lock/unlock my car from about 1-2 meters away. Aux heater remote and FM radio work ok. My car is a 2006 535d E60. New remote keys are quite expensive so I would first like to check the antenna amplifier. Only that I don't know where it is located? I found some info about E61 antenna amplifiers but nothing on E60.
Please share if You have any info!
Please share if You have any info!
I had an old key and a new key and I knew the batteries were good so people suggested
I try the diversity antenna amplifier.
I found this great DYI http://forums.5serie..._1#entry1051687 .
I bought the antenna from Gary at BMW Newport with the 25% off for members, followed the DYI
and in about 20 minutes I could lock and unlock from 3 houses down!
Good luck!

I could barley get my car to respond to the remotes.
I can't say that your problem is the same since your remote is working.

Replace your diversity antenna. You'll be so happy and wish you did it long ago!

Ditto i just had mine changed thru warranty..and the dealers will tell you all types of excuses why they can't do it. just get angry if they deny your request and usually they will do it. luckily i didn't have to get angry just...firm..lol and now i can unlock my doors damn near a block away. change the antenna!!
