An additional fuse panel is located
in an electrical carrier located at
the right rear of the cargo area.
The panel contains fuses 72 - 87.
The carrier also contains the
following relays

TAILGATE CONTROL
The tailgate can be opened from the following locations:
• Exterior tailgate switch pad above the license plate
• Interior remote tailgate button
• FZV radio key
The remote tailgate button is locked out when the GM
detects a vehicle speed signal > 4 MPH via the K-bus.
The switch has been incorporated into the SZM.

REMOTE RF (KEYLESS) ENTRY
The X5 keyless entry system’s operation is carried over from the E38/E39. However, the
FZV key has undergone considerable redesign.
• The remote key receiver is part of
the antenna amplifier and is
installed in the center of the top
section of the tailgate.
The receiver produces a digital
signal based on the transmitter
command and sends it to the GM
for processing.
The GM then carries out all remote
lock system, window/sunroof
convenience closing features and
DWA arming/disarming functions.
• The frequency at which the key transmits the radio signal to the antenna amplifier is 315
MHz.
• The system is also used to convey the key identification number being used to
lock/unlock the vehicle. This is a requirement of the Key Memory feature covered further
on in this manual.

MODEL YEAR 2000 FZV KEY
Visual Changes:
• New appearance with blue and white BMW roundel.
• New button arrangement (larger buttons) with sequential operation (enhanced operating
convenience)
• Rechargeable battery replaces replaceable batteries. Charged by EWS ring antenna.
• The key housing is encapsulated and can not be opened.
• The LED has been omitted.
• Key will be used in E46, E38 and E39 vehicles.
Features of the keyless entry system include:
• Up to 4 radio-control keys can be operated in conjunction with one vehicle.
• Locking/unlocking of doors, tailgate,
fuel filler lid.
• Selective unlocking of driver’s door (as
with key in lock)
• Arming/dis-arming of DWA alarm system
(if equipped).
• Remote unlocking of the tailgate only.
• Comfort opening of windows and
sunroof
• Interior lighting activation (search mode).
• Panic mode alarm activation..
• Automatic correction for up to 1000
erroneous activation signals.
• Low transmitter battery fault code
storage in the GM.
• An EEPROM is used to store the key
data.
• Keys delivered with a four color label
sheet containing four different colored
labels for each of the four possible FZV
keys.

FZV KEY RECHARGEABLE BATTERY
From KL R, the battery inside the key head is charged inductively by the EWS ring antenna
via a coil antenna integrated in the key. The charging process is controlled by electronic
circuitry integrated in the key.
• The service life of a radio-control key used under normal conditions corresponds to the
vehicle lifespan.
• If the FZV keys are not used (ie: stored in a drawer), the battery will be discharged after
approx. 1.5 years.
• The time required to fully charge a discharged battery is approx. 30 hours.
• The remote control can be operated about 15 times after a charging period of approx.
30 minutes (driving time).
The key data is stored in a transponder chip. The transponder chip is a wireless read and
write EEPROM. It is powered via the ring coil at the steering lock. Power is applied
electromagnetically when the key is in the ignition switch from KL R.
The power supply is used both for data transfer as well as for charging the battery. This has
been made possible by new development of the transponder chip.
As with previous systems, every press of an FZV key also provides the battery charge
condition. When the FZV electronics receives a low power condition message three
successive times, the GM sets a fault indicating a low battery within a specific key. The
LCM is also informed via the bus system and alerts the driver via an instrument cluster
matrix message.
If the battery is recharged (used operate car), the fault will be automatically deleted when
five successive messages are received indicating a charged battery condition.
The battery has no affect on the EWS III communication function!
