DS5 Remote Locking and Starting Issues

I'm having issues with my 2016 Citroen DS5 diesel. At 119520 km, the system logs an error, remote unlock/lock fails, and the engine won't start without the key in the ignition. Could a bad cable or plug at the bumper antenna be the cause? Anyone else seen this?

Sounds familiar. I've got a Citroen DS5, year unknown, and had similar central locking and starting issues. It could be the antenna, or something else. Have you checked for any obvious damage to the antenna mount?

Thanks. When you had similar problems, was it the antenna itself, or just the mount or connection? Any details?

I can't say if your problem is identical, but the symptoms seem similar. In my case, it was a faulty connection at the antenna. I'd recommend getting it checked at a workshop. Better safe than sorry.

Thanks for the advice. I had the antenna connection checked. A cable was defective. The repair, parts and labor, cost 95€. Everything works now.
