New to me '16 i8. The passenger (right) side comfort access isn't working. An OBD scanner is showing all of the keyless antennas working, so I'm guessing it's the touch pad itself?

Does anyone know the part number for the touch pad / prox sensor unit on the i8? I'm having some difficulty locating it.

Thanks!

I didn't think comfort access came in until 2018 models. My 2016 i8 (UK) didn't have it 🤔

I had an issue with Comfort access and the agent replaced the Touch pad but this didn't solve the problem. After much investigation they found that one of the wires had come loose behind the Touch pad. Just letting you know - may be worth checking?

U.S. models came with Comfort Access in MY 2015.

Appreciate the help. I'll take a look at the wiring in there.

If anyone is curious the part number is 61357412792. To replace it involves removing the rear quarter panel.

I had the same problem under warranty. Basically, if by touching the touchpad, you should hear a "clack" noise in the trigger box which is located at the front left, near the wheel. No noise, it's the touchpad. Otherwise the case or electronics. Warning: in case of new paint or covering there are problems with the touchpad.
