Can't get alarm motion detector to turn off
Is there a trick to this? Does it have something to do with the coding of the folding mirrors that I've done? The owners manual says to simply press the lock button a second time within ten seconds to turn the interior motion sensor off while the car remains locked and armed. I have a new dog and cannot take her anywhere with me without leaving the doors unlocked.

Yes it is just pressing it a second time and the indicator light should show a solid read for a second or so to confirm this. Not sure if folding mirrors would affect this. Do they fold just by pressing once or press and hold? You may have to press a second time, confirm it's turned off then press and hold to fold mirrors.

I had this problem as well with my F22 after a software update - it disappeared after a later update. In the interim I figured out a solution. The critical factor seemed to be the position of the fob during the second press. If I held it near the base of the windshield, more or less in the middle of the driver's side, the second press deactivated the motion sensor while leaving the car locked. If I held the fob elsewhere - say by the driver's side door, the motion sensor would not deactivate. Kind of seems like voodoo, but it worked for me as well as for a couple of people on the 2-series forum who I passed this tip along to.
