This is where I believe that the myth about a warehouse full of 10 keys for every car comes from. If BMW has record of creating keys for all 10 predefined values, they can't create any more, and they will require you to order a new CAS module. So, the CAS is not updated, other than the dealer should 'disable' lost keys. BMW has record of these values, and therefore when you order a key, they can provide the dealer with a key that has all the correct values. is a rolling value that is kept in sync between the key and CAS the 2nd digit of this value contains the key type - 2, 4, or 5. The transponders that are used have 8 'pages' values of memory. If they're not, then the transponder has already been programmed, and can not be programmed again. Aftermarket, is a shot in the dark If the back panel is removable, it's a CA key. A new virgin key from the dealer will work this way. First individual I've seen that's been able to do anything with a new key by himself. When I bought my 07 E93, it only came with one key, and that one was falling apart. There is also a company in FL that if you send a used key, they will send is back with a new chip, and case. You can find these on ebay, usually described as 'virgin'. E90 3 series - remote unlock/lock stopped working The transponders used, can only be programmed once, so used keys will not work, UNLESS they have had the transponder chip replaced, or re-flashed. I'm curious, do you have a link to the key you purchased on Amazon? The first thing I would do is call local locksmiths, and see if they will program BMW transponder keys. Not sure where you got the procedure to program a new key, but I'm pretty sure it's not valid for you car. It does not recognize the new key even after using the Programmed key which is not Comfort Access, but it runs the car. How exactly should I do it? 2000 hits full songs Only 2 CA keys can be active at any given time. If you have a working key, the new key can be paired to the car by inserting the working key, then swapping it for the virgin fob.

Placing the key next to the steering column while starting it doesn't work on a i.Īnyone have an actual solution other than giving up and taking it to the dealership for their win? THanks all. Some have commented that the original 2nd key fob needs to be close by - makes no sense, what's the point of having 2 keys in the car at the same time? Also, Comments say BMW dealership is the only way.

Putting it in the slot recharges the battery and downloads vehicle data.Ok, I've read alot on here about programming key fobs but nothing speaks directly to the i Convertible and how to take a new key purchased off Amazon.

Replacing the battery is explained in the manual and rather simple. Putting it in the slot only downloads vehicle data to fob for maintenance.

New battery and nothing, they told me to bring car in with vin and license and will need the car in there while they order the new fob? So i just used my spare Originally Posted by bamboobuild.īring it in Originally Posted by Eights-n-Aces. Mine definitely didnt recharge, so I replaced the battery and its working fine since then. There are lot of discussions whether fob's battery is rechargeable or not. Fritzer Originally Posted by T Rex Originally Posted by Tat BMW said that the fobs randomly die and that was the only explanation they gave me, currently im just using my spare that i have which works fine. Drive around for a while or let it sit and run and your fob should charge up enough to unlock the doors and whatnot.Īppreciate 1.

I believe when you put the fob in the ignition and start the car, it charges the batteries.
