[@shawnmcbride2505]

An actual repair video! This will help many people understand what has happened and how to remedy this fault. Bravo

[@gicussor]

If I do it the way you do, will this problem come back?

[@Alidiazreyes-jq1oe]

Hi friend if I reset the cas this problem will no longer appear or would I have to do it all the time ? Thank you for your prompt reply

[@audiADDISON]

Hi can anyone help , I have exact same problem. My mate plugged in his obd but because ignition won’t come on it was no use. Is this device only way to fix. I fitted EMV & the led on it didn’t even light up. New battery just fitted to car & the key has been checked with new battery also

[@amineabdi7885]

I had the same problem. The problem lies in the locking of the steering wheel programmed by the factory. It should work for a certain number of times and then stop to fix it. You must use a computer programming keys to reset it in minutes and it will work again without replacing it.

@@Seb0343 hi unfortunately the car was sent to someone who wasn't honest whom had interest in having the car for himself and that person fixed it but asked for a lot which i didn't have so he had his wish come true and i sold it to him for much less than what it was worth. But what goes around comes around hopefully. I will never by bmw again. Thanks anyway for your message best of luck.

@@a.f1785 luckily, I found a potential solution on eBay that will be delivered tomorrow and praying it works

[@Tockapp455]

Don’t waste your money, fully charge the battery and lock and open the car. It will released the steering lock and leave battery on fully charge for 1-2 hours maybe longer. Depending on condition of your battery. I use second battery for extra boost before start and it work start with no fault

[@sadiagnostics]

Thanks for the feedback, I’ve done fair few of these and people have done what your saying and still no joy. However there’s no harm in trying…

[@dromrai]

I tried this but it didn't work for me, am grateful to sadiagnostics for his info

[@onetyrefire9722]

I have this problem, I’m not far away just in Leeds. Any chance you could sort for me? Thanks 🙏

[@sadiagnostics]

Hi sorry too far

[@Handguardsandhandlebars]

Hi there have you messed around with the Innova scanners? My local autozone has the 7111 model. Wondering if it would work?

[@sadiagnostics]

Hi no idea.

[@smj6375]

Will this work the majority of the time? I'm looking at buying an E90 with this issue.

[@sadiagnostics]

Yes will work and with these bmw the old ones of course if you update the CAS system then it shouldn’t have any problems

[@smj6375]

@@sadiagnostics thank you, didn't want to get there then not be able to drive it home..

[@sadiagnostics]

@@smj6375 sorry I totally understand what you’ve said u thought you was talking about the Autel machine whether it will work on it or not. With regards to what you’ve said there is 10% it will work and 90% it won’t. However if your luck then sometimes if you buy the elv lick on eBay it may turn it on all you do is plug it into the steering rack but can’t guarantee that will 100% work

[@sadiagnostics]

@@smj6375 but you use Autel and reset like I gave then yes 100% should work done many in past…

Am lost as to what you mean when you say “does it come with 2017 model?”

[@towhidsheikh1461]

@@sadiagnostics I meant all the bmw above 2017 model chance to have the same problem?

[@sadiagnostics]

@@towhidsheikh1461 no very much doubt that cause they fixed this problem for the F models.

[@591585]

What model is your autel? Also is there any special program I need to purchase

[@sadiagnostics]

It’s Autel Maxisys MS908s Pro and no doesn’t need any special function am sure even the ones that are £700 to £1100 will do similar job.

I have the same problem what can I do

[@sadiagnostics]

That on the video or buy a bypass on ebay

[@nkosanantlekeni7863]

I have the exact problem demonstrated, please help

[@sadiagnostics]

Can’t really do much other than what you’ve seen on the video pal. You can also try and buy a bypass ELV on eBay it’s only £30

[@a.f1785]

@@sadiagnostics hi how does the bypass work please

[@sadiagnostics]

@@a.f1785 hi the bypass does more or less what the diagnostic machine does but it’s a module you fit on the steering. However I’ve been out to a few before where the bypass hasn’t worked and ended up doing what I did on the video for them.
