Alarm & Kids

[Conks01]

Hi,

I've owned a M3 LR for 4 weeks now and absolutely love it.

Other than I've had an error message for 3 weeks advising that the charge flap can no longer be opened on push which i need to book in for i would believe i was also wondering how the alarm works, particularly with kids in mind.

Formerly when I had an Audi i was able to turn off the alarm and lock the kids in the car whilst popping in to a supermarket.

In the M3 in but convinced you can do this as the alarm toggle button is faded out so how could I keep the kids safe in the car without them activating the alarm?

Many thanks.

Put the car in dog mode works super well as long as they dont open the doors

Oh OK. Didn't realise that would work, thanks. Great idea.

the charging flap issue is likely due to a little trapezoidal metal piece falling off the flap.

Little black "piece" fell out of my charge port?

Thanks for this. I did watch the video which was interesting although my plastic piece is still there and not missing so I'm guessing it's something else and will need to book in a service request.

Cheers

You can switch the alarm off too. I think you have to press the brake pedal to get the toggle switch to highlight.

Camp mode works also, and may be a better option. From the manual:


Camp Mode allows you to power electronics through the USB ports and 12V outlet in addition to maintaining the cabin temperature. The touchscreen remains on so you can play music, browse the internet, play games in the arcade, or watch shows in Tesla Theater. You can also control media and climate settings from a paired phone. Camp Mode is ideal for remaining inside your vehicle, such as camping or staying with a child.
NOTE: In Camp Mode, Sentry Mode and the vehicle alarm system are disabled.

Dog mode or camping mode depending on the maturity level of the kids

Doors auto lock when you put the car in drive.

What do do if you want to leave kids in the locked car but charge level is under 20% and dog/camp modes disabled?
