Any BMW Electrician specialist in New York City ?

Keep getting battery discharge message pop up on dash took it to the dealer few times they said they could not diagnose the problem until I remove all my accessories I have stage one tuning air horn added speakers and the last thing was auto start then that’s when I started to have the issue
Now I find myself jump starting with portable charger every now and again very annoying
Thought it could of been a cold weather issue but it started before the temp started to fall in early November

How old is the battery.
Have you charged the battery to full off a charger, let it rest....remove battery from vehicle and bring it to AutoZone/Pep for a Load Tester to see if the battery is still good.

You may have a parasitic drain based on what you have listed.....at $175-$200 a hr at the indy, to either remove said items or determine if you have a parasitic drain may run the meter on what you spend either way you go.

Who ever installed the auto start should undo it. Then see what happens.
