Key Fob Replacement

You're probably aware whether you own a car that your key fob is required to access the remote start or Comfort Access functions of your vehicle. But, what you might not be aware of is that your BMW's key fob is also able to be replaced if it is needed. If you own an older model with a replaceable battery, it's simple to take off the backplate and swap out the CR2032 battery (also called a watch battery) inside the fob itself.

They can be found at your local large-box retailer or hardware store. You can also find them online. If you don't have a replacement manual, the owner's guide should offer instructions on how to open the fob and replace the battery. You'll require a thin tool like a flathead screwscrew, to cut open the fob at the junction. Be careful not to scratch any delicate plastic parts or the circuit board. After taking out the old battery, remove the fob cover. Replace the battery gently.

The next step is to program the newly-replaced key fob to your vehicle. Insert the key fob that you wish to program and the one you wish to add into the car, with the doors shut. Plug in the key and turn the knob to position 1. The accessories and dash lights should come on. Press the BMW logo button and the unlock button on your new fob three times. When you can hear the door lock and unlock then release the button.

If your key isn't functioning, you can get an entirely new BMW key fob and have it programmed into your vehicle by a dealer. The cost of the service is around $100 and can take between 2 and 4 weeks. You can save money by buying a new key fob online from a seller who specialises in car keys and having it reprogrammed specifically for your vehicle. Make sure the new fob you purchase is designed for your car's model and year, and that it is genuine BMW.

Older BMW models, such as the E-series, do not have this option. If you have an older model that has keyless entry, you'll need to find a way to open the door manually.
