Problems with the BMW 5 car key

Hello everyone, I have a 2011 BMW 5 Series with a diesel engine and 236,000 km on the odometer. I'm having problems with the car key. According to Carly, the interior antenna isn't being detected, even though I don't have comfort access. Now it's showing a short circuit or antenna damage under the center console, even though the key batteries are full. Has anyone had similar experiences or knows how to solve this problem? Thanks in advance!

Check if there are any loose or damaged connections under the center console where the antenna is located. Sometimes, simply reseating the connections can resolve the issue. If the problem persists, it might be best to have a professional inspect it to ensure safety and proper function. Let me know how it goes or if you have any further questions!
