Central locking system switch on passenger door
Hello!
Maybe a lot of you observed that our X1 has a central locking system switch only on the driver door, on the passenger door having just an empty and ugly cover. This is looking very cheap and I like to make my car looking better, like a proper BMW. I'd like to ask if somebody know the part code number for the passenger switch, for a left side steering wheel car. I mention that, on the passenger door, I found a free hanging cable, which I believe is exactly for this switch. Maybe somebody can help with am electric scheme for the central locking system. Also, I saw some X1 pictures of left hand drive cars with this switch on the passenger door. Any comment / idea on this subject will be welcome. Regards, Stefan. |

Yes you are correct, the wiring for switch is there on passenger side of my car also. The blanking plate pushes out (actually will push in!) and should be simple fit for new switch. For your car (left hand drive) I think you will need right hand drive switch. BMW f48 central locking switch right - part number 61319320642 https://www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/sho...diagId=61_4431 For U.K. and right hand drive cars the part to fit blank on left hand side is; BMW f48 central locking switch left - part number 61319320641 https://www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/sho...diagId=61_4431 Sorry CliveL I was editing reply and attaching links so didn’t see you had already posted answer before I had finished. Unfortunately haven’t worked out if I can delete a post. Last edited by MJE60; 05-08-2019 at 04:16 PM.. |

No worries I've always thought it was an odd choice to put just the one switch in the car, and it's very awkward for a passenger to reach across to unlock the doors if necessary. I preferred the central switch on my older 5 series (E61 and E39). I assume you have to remove the door card to fit a second switch? They look quite pricey too, a quick search suggests around 70 Euros/85 US Dollars. Not sure what a UK dealer would charge...

Thank you all for your answers.
I thought also that I should look for the right side drive door switch. Around 70 €, for a new part, it is pricey and I don't want to spend so much. Searching on ebay uk didn't reveal any used part. Can you suggest any part dealer in uk (or somewhere else) where I can search for a second hand switch? I wonder why some cars (like GenXer's one) has locking switches on both sides. Maybe it is made for selling to a specific country? Or it's an option when ordering a new car? |

Maybe it is a requirement for the NA market. I don't see what all the fuss is about, every car has more controls on the driver side, such as window switches. Why would you need a locking switch on the passenger side ?

And because it is looking very cheap to have just a cover instead of a button. |

GenXer, can you tell me for what country your car is made for?
Getting back to the subject, I installed earlier the central locking button on the right door (my car is LHD), but it is not working. Don't ask if I inserted the wires, because I did Maybe it is a coding that can be made/ modified, in order to make functional both door buttons. Does anyone know? Regards! |

It comes with most everything I wanted including panoramic roof, heated seats/steering, back windows dark tint, red/white mood lighting. The only thing it doesn't have is navigation or Carplay I believe it's assembled in Germany as well. |

- ComAdapterPdu_0EC_Status_Zentralverriegelung_Tuer_ Schloss It has a default hex value of 01 so maybe changing it to 02 would activate two door switches. Please note this is a guess and I have not accessed Ecu in my car to check settings. Good luck |

In my opinion it should recognise the new switch after a complete shut off and restart of the car, but I'll try your suggestion to wait a few days more. As regarding the coding, I have only Beemer Code, I'll try to find this parameter. I'll keep posting here the results. |

Unfortunately I didn't find a way to do it.
I still have the switch mounted on the door, but it's not working. At least it is illuminated in the night and the door it is looking nicer with it. I'd like to find the solution to make it work... |
