Why isn't the remote start functioning on my 2019 BMW X5?

There are multiple potential issues that could be causing problems with the remote start feature on your 2019 BMW X5. One common issue to check first is a weak or failing battery in your key FOB. Another potential problem could be the battery in your vehicle itself. If the weather has been very cold lately, the battery may be too low to initiate the remote start process, which might trigger an error message on the instrument panel indicating that the remote control is not detected. If you start the car manually, you may receive a notification about excessive battery usage, but you should be able to use remote start again after driving the X5 for a while to allow the battery to recharge. In some cases, your BMW could also encounter issues with syncing the keys or experience software glitches with the onboard computer system, requiring a visit to the dealership for further examination.
