How do you reset comfort access

Hi guys,
Today I picked up my car after having it vinyl wrapped, and the comfort access door handle lock/unlock isn't working, The installer said I may have to reset the comfort access module.

Does anyone have the directions on how to do perform the reset?

If you wrapped the handle door, it may interfere with the comfort access blocking the communication, especially to lock the car. I don't think there's a reset because the door should open and close with the key all the time, the only things that can change is the seat, mirror and other settings with each key

That's what I thought but the guy has done other F30's and f80's with out this happening except for one car and that person said he reset the comfort access.

Does anyone have any further insight?

I took a look around in ISTA and couldn't find any service functions that would simply reset the comfort access. If you have ISTA and can connect to your car, you can run diagnostics to see of the FEM is even working.

Are you able to lock/unlock the car using the fob remote buttons? Do you notice reduced sensitivity with the remote? Also, is the wrap metallic? Do any of the doors/trunk unlock?

I had my E92's windows tinted many years ago and it ruined the performance of the comfort access. I'm with Roch M4 on this...I think the wrap is blocking the sensor.

Thanks,
The remote works and all other lock, unlock features from the remote are just as normal except the lock unlock from the handle.

Were you ever able to figure this out??? I think I messed mine up vinyl wrapping. It worked fine when I installed it last night with vinyl? Now doesnt work. Unplugged reconnected nothing. Removed vinyl, nothing.
