My Ride: Current - MY2008 530i comfort access,active steering, HUD, prof nav/TV, bluetootth etc .....
Old - 2006 530i comfort access, active steering, HUD, NAV/TV, Bluetooth
Recently I have been getting the following message on the bottom line of the Nav screen along with a picture of a yellow batery and a cross thru it in the dash message area.
"remote control battery discharged"
I have the comfort access option. I read somewhere that the remote control battery is rechargeable by placing in the key slot. I have done this and the message still appears.
Any body know what to do next?

If I understand a Comfort Access key FOB correctly, you can replace the battery; unlike mine. Check the owner's manual to make sure.
