i5 eDrive40 Setting Changes When I Use The Second Key

[FlaconFuel008]

Hi, guys!
As you already know, I got my i5 eDrive40 as a gift.

I have another problem now.
Whenever a family member uses the second car key, my car goes crazy. The settings change, and I have to reset it and reconfigure the settings every time. I have done it several times already and it is annoying. The worst part of this causes problems with auto parking, and reverse parking (it keeps moving forward). Also, sometimes it has unlocking and connectivity problems. Like, when I approach it, the Apple Car Play doesn't connect, the seat gets changed, and (this is awful) IT DOESN'T START CHARGING WHEN I PLUG IT IN.

I went with the car to the service three times already. The solution I found was to reset the car by holding the audio key for 30 seconds.
I have even tried a few software updates but without any results.
Did this happen to you?

Sorry to hear you’re having a rough time with your i5. If this keeps happening, you might wanna think about getting a new key or hitting up your dealer for some reprogramming. Just to clarify, though - using your first key is all smooth sailing, yeah?

Hey, you should try replacing the batteries in the key fob, this could help. If there is still an issue, your dealer can try to reprogram the key.

Ugh, that’s such a hassle to reset it every single time! It feels like the key profiles are totally messed up, and that’s why the settings go haywire whenever the second key is used. Have you checked if both keys are set up right in the car’s settings?

Have you tried ditching that second key and then adding it back in?

I’m with @KrakenEgg on this one, sounds like that second key just didn’t get set up right.

I don’t even bother with the key fob for my i5, I just roll with my phone app for everything! Super convenient!

Hey, guys! I appreciate your replies!
Using the first key is smooth, so it seems to be an issue with the second one. I will definitely try replacing the batteries in the key fob and check the settings to make sure everything is set up correctly. If that doesn't work, I might just have to ditch the second key and re-add it, as suggested. And good to know I can use my phone app for everything if it comes to that. Appreciate the help, everyonE!
