My Ride: 2006 E60 525i
so i have been reading up on comfort access and many people say that the comfort access remotes are not rechargable. lately i have noticed when i open the door and start the car that ill see a icon in the cluster flashing briefly that shows a ley with a battery behind the key. is this the systems way of telling me that my batter is dying in my key fob? would be nice if i could stick the key fob in the slot in the steering column and have it charge it but i do not see any type of terminal connections on the key fob nor do i see a way to open it up to replace the batttery.

) I think if still under warranty it should be covered even though an ordinary button cell battery is less than $5.
They are not rechargeable!

What year / production date is your car? I too have comfort access and wonder what usual battery life is for each module ? (I really can't call it a key )
