According to some posts I’ve read here and elsewhere, the BMW keyless system won’t lock the vehicle while the key is inside the car. 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!

You can easily disable Keyless by coding the BDC unit without Comfort Access in FA.
