There's a video on the BMW website and possibly also on YouTube that I'm sure you already checked out.
Awesome question.. the strange variable here is it worked in my M3, but not the older X5 or newer 435i!

It could be the remote... not sure though. Doesn't help I LOATHE the main door opener as it is older, and LOUD. I want to tear it out but can't right now.
