Helpful for those of us who can be forgetful (myself included) but I can't find a way to disable it, either with a fob sequence or the vehicle settings. Does anyone know if it's possible or have a workaround?
Some camping forums mention using a faraday bag although those were to address a Subaru car battery drain issue (fob and car keep pinging overnight and drain the car battery). One question I have is whether, if the fob is in the faraday bag inside the car, can we use the door lock buttons to lock ourselves in?
Thanks!

If you have Carly or BimmerCode, you can turn off comfort access, or code it to not work I should say.
So you should be able to have they keys in the car lock the car and it not unlock when someone puts the hands on the handle. |
You could also just find the fuse for the keyless entry and remove it.
I used to do that in the e63 at car meets for when I was a few cars away hanging out and didn't want random people to open the doors. Everything else worked just fine.
