Did you put AGM battery in? If you are only driving short distances, AGM is life saving.

If you are driving very short distances.... Then 35% is normal. I also had frequent draining problems with normal battery when driving for like 10km. Then I've put AGM. It was like night and day difference, never I had draining problems anymore, not even in -30°C winter. And now that battery is 10 years old and I sold the car, but the new owner still uses that same old battery smile

P.S. If your car is with automatic transmission the best way to check is car is sleeping is to look if LEDs indicating gear next to gear lever are all off.

Yes, you should definitely put AGM battery in with that driving style.

BTW. You told "I can eject DVD after 1 hour of lock car". How you try that without opening the car?

1. Check with INPA “without ignition turn on”. If you able to read the vehicle then KGM “Body Gateway Module” is bad.
2. To verify the KGM is bad. It’s hot if you touch it, it’s behind the glovebox.

Hope this help,

Hello I tried to read all modules via inpa and get reason ifh 009 not response . That means no connection with any . That means is not the KBM right ? Also I see that the battery current is only 11 v and when strat engine drop to 8 v and then go up

That means car is properly sleeping, so KBM is ok. 11V is normal for battery with 35% charge. 8V during starting is also normal. When engine is running it should be around 14V.
