Thanks for your research and giving us e61 owners another option. I like the fact that this newer module was inside the donor car...

Thanks for this tutorial, has been a great help. One thing to note... on the module that you obtained from the E63 and your old module, they are both 315 Mhz and the modules that uk and Europe use is 868.4 Mhz. If you get the wrong one, then it wont work (ident found on Diversity module 'AM/FM-DIV/FBD' on the right hand side and then the frequency of the module). Key and Diversity module need to be the same frequency in order to work.

Very helpful video! And no useless nonsense talking….like some others! Mine seemed to die slowly. At first, I had the problem only rarely….but then over about 6 months it got worse. It seemed to happen only if I had used the tailgate at first. Now, it’s permanently. 😢 Thanks

E61 tailgate wiring harness can add to these issues as well. I just went through the laborious and sometimes scary process of replacing /repairing both left and right wiring of the tailgate using a German SENCOM repair kit - which was very well made. Did not solve all of my diversity antenna issues, but fixed many others like rear defrost.

Thanks so much for the help. This video is very useful, and with no fillers or useless stuff. Kudos. - I have the very same module, my remotes DO NOT work, but my radio DOES work (reception is good). - I have tested my remotes with a signal tester, and I know they emit a signal. - They pair with the car when put in the ignition slot (2010 LCI 535xi), they DO NOT need a pairing procedure. - Central locking with the dash button otherwise works fine. - I do NOT have Comfort Access. Do you know if the module can fail in a way that the radio reception will work and the remote keys will not work, or is it an all or nothing situation ? Thanks

Thank you for your comment! I do think the radio can work. When I connected the E70 amplifier my FM radio worked. Also, check your right side wiring, it is a very tedious task, and requires speaker removal, but it is possible that the wiring may be bad. Tailgate wiring is another notorious issue on these wagons. I hope it helps.

Update to my earlier post! So, I tried all the tricks first on my one shown in this video…..electrical contact cleaner, heating up etc. Like in the video, none of this worked on mine either. Mine hadn’t been working at all for least 6 months. So, I ordered another one off Ebay….still waiting for it to come. Then, suddenly today, out of nowhere……it’s working again! 🤬🙇🏽♂️ I don’t know for how long….so I have the spare coming anyway now. 🤦🏽♂️

@@EliteBimmers So, update again! I found out what my problem was and fixed it. It turned out, by testing with a voltmeter at the plug going into the Diversity Antenna (DA) on the right side, that the red and white wire was cracked and not supply power to the DA. I wish I’d watched video on how to test this first. There’s a German guy with a short video of how to do this easily. I exposed this wire in the loom and found it was broken at the tailgate hinge. There’s another really good video, by an Australian guy, that shows how to access and repair these wires! 🙂 It took me about 4 hours because I have never done it before….and I’m very slow….but it cost me Zero money to fix! 🙂 Cheers! 👍🏽

I’ve bought a new diversity amplifier, repaired all my broken wires put back together and all worked fine for one day. Just to prove my wires hadn’t broken again I put my old diversity amplifier back in and would you believe it the old one opens and unlocks everything but the new one won’t do it?? Can’t believe it!! The new one was best part of £300 and I still can’t work out how the old one is now working and the new one isn’t!!?? I don’t get it!!! I actually hate this design!! It’s the worst!! 😂😂😂😂

just purchased an e63/64 module after seeing this video since here in the East Coast it was raining nonstop and it seemed like my diversity antenna went bad. This morning it’s working again lol so maybe it dried up a bit but i already have the e64 replacement on the way just in case. Did you ever figure out how to get the things that didn’t work with the e63 module?

Not yet. The car opens and closes with the fob, also the radio works. I got other issues with electronics and narrowed it down to possibly a bad light module. They say that if it's glitchy the car can have a lot of problems (like airbag lights, etc). My guess is it could be all related. There is a local guy who does reflash on these, will be going to his shop soon.
