I replaced the battery on my car and had no power on it for a day. After I installed the new battery and registered it, I noticed that my alarm is no longer working. The panic alarm works but my regular alarm does not work. I already followed the procedure posted on this forum but I think it may have something to do with the rolling code in the system. Any advise?

BMW is very complicated even when replacing battery. You pretty much need a good scan tool or there scanner to initialize everything down to the seat memory.

I would advise you take it in to a shop that has that equipment to do those calibrations and check for codes.
