Question:<\/strong> Can you tell me how to unlock my new (to me) BMW from the inside? It\u2019s an older model and it\u2019s confusing. I know how to unlock it to get into the car, but sometimes it locks while I\u2019m driving and I don\u2019t know how to unlock it from the driver\u2019s seat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Answer:<\/strong> Getting used to a new car can be hard, and you\u2019re not alone in being confused by how to unlock all of the doors on your BMW from the inside. While some BMW models do still have a traditional unlock button on the door panel, many newer models have eliminated this feature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If your car doesn\u2019t have a door panel unlock button, try these tips to unlock your BMW from the inside:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pull the door handle twice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If your car door is locked, you can unlock it by pulling the door handle once. You\u2019ll need to pull the handle a second time to actually open the door. Each passenger will need to do this to get their doors open.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Press the unlock button on the dash<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Once you park your car, press the \u201cCentral Locking\u201d button on the center of your dash near the button for your hazard lights. This will unlock all of the BMW\u2019s doors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Change the settings so the car unlocks automatically<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Go to the Settings menu in the infotainment center. Choose Doors and Windows, then Lock\/Unlock. Select the option that reads Unlock doors at end of trip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With this setting turned on, all the doors of your BMW will automatically unlock after you turn off the ignition. However, if the car is running, you\u2019ll still need to use the unlock button or double-pull to unlock the doors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can also deselect the option to Lock after starting to drive within your settings if you don\u2019t want your doors to lock automatically once you\u2019re going more than 10 mph. For safety reasons, many drivers are more comfortable leaving this feature enabled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unlock all the doors from the outside with Comfort Access<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you forget to unlock all of your doors after you get out of the car but you left your key inside the vehicle, you can still unlock the rest of the doors from the outside with Comfort Access\u2014if your vehicle is equipped with it. Just grab any door handle\u2014or the front passenger door if your BMW model only has sensors on that door\u2014and all your doors will unlock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To set up this feature, use the BMW app to set Comfort Access to All Doors\u2014if it\u2019s set to Driver\u2019s door only, which is usually the default setting, only your driver\u2019s door will unlock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
