Hi all,
I saw many posts about back light where peolple talks about problem, and also saw some DIY explaining how to replace led lights.
By the way, I think my problem is different.
As you can see in this video, first and second time I open the car, the left light is soft (like it doesn't turn on all), but third, fourth and fifth try are ok.
What can be the problem?

Another strange behavior: in the past, when I pressed the button to open the trunk, only that was opened. After the last coding with esys, the whole car opens. What could it be?

It looks like it needs to warm up: if you simply turn it on once and wait awhile - will it gain brightness? Anyway it should be either a contact or the LED (Degrading? I don't know if it's possible or how it would go.) issue.

There's a programmed setting that controls how the unlock buttons work. For the main one it's available in iDrive (see page 32 of this manual instance). For the trunk unlock button you may (obviously) need ESYS again or check your iDrive/manual.

Tested: it will not gain brightness, so it's not a warm up.
Can it be a low battery sign? mmmmmm....

Checked the manual, I think I'll need esys again. But I don't think I've changed any parameter about trunk, so I don't know what to change now

When the battery is weak the car's computer should issue a warning. (Battery status is available. For "auto start/stop", "energy recuperation", etc.) If it fails or it's too late all the lights would dim and engine start would suffer.

If you miss this iDrive setting: https://www.babybmw.net/forum/viewto...=67952#p859863, try to reverse the coding that had this side effect, to start with. Or address a service.
