Program Bmw Smart Key
Programming BMW Keys and Many Other European Cars For That Matter Is Much Different Than American or Asian Cars. We Can Make and Program Keys For Most of The E Series Platform Cars Up To 2012, Not That The F Series Platform Can't Be Done The Work Involved To Do Them Makes The Price Much Higher Than What The Dealer Can Do Them For. If You Just Need A Spare Key or Have Lost Your Keys To A Transponder Equipped BMW, In Many Cases It Is Less Expensive To Order A Key Through A Dealer, If You Can Get A Standard Key Thru A Dealer For Less Than $200.00 or A Remote Head Key For Less Than 280.00 That Is Probably The Best Price You Can Get. We Can Be Competitive And In Most Cases Have Better Than Dealer Pricing On BMW Smart Keys. If You Don't Want To Wait or Don't have Time To Order A Key From The Dealer We Can Help, Also If You Have A Salvege Title or All 10 Keys That Were Originally Programmed To Your Car Have Been Used, We Are A Much Better Solution Than What The Dealer Will Offer.
As for Key Immobilizer programming, I was able to program my own Key & Remote for a 2016 Camry H-Chip. For only $30 + $5 to cut the key, it saves the $250 or more the dealer will charge you. On a 2017 Explorer - Smart Key, I was not able to get the tablet to communicate with the car.
Some Of The Questions We Get Calls About Pretty Much Every Week 1. I Bought A Key For My BMW On Line or I Have Another Key For My BMW and i Just Need It Cut and programmed. We Do Not Program Customer Furnished Keys, BMW Keys Lock To The Car That They Were Originally Programmed To, The Keys Being Sold On Line Have Been Used Before, Then put Into A New Key Shell, The Remote Portion Will Reprogram To Your Car However The Transponder (the important part) Is Locked And Not Reprogrammable. There Are A Few Companies That Can Unlock These Keys, And Some That Claim They Sell Unlocked Keys But We Have Not Seen Any Brought In That Are In Programmable Condition, In order For Us To Know For Sure We Have To Do All The Work To Find Out If Your On Line Key Will Work And We Are Unwilling To Do That For Free, Also Don't Want To Charge You For Something That More Than Likely Will Not Work.
So No We Do Not Program Customer Furnished Keys. I Have Another Key For My BMW, I Already Programmed It So I Just Need The Key Cut, How Much Is That? We Normally Try To Explain That They Have Simply Programmed The Remote Portion, This Is An Easy Procedure, But The Transponder Has Not Been Programmed Even After Explaining We Have Had Several Callers State That It's Already Programmed And They Just Want The Key Cut!! So If You Don't Believe Us, Yes We Will Probably Cut Your Key That You Already Programmed, And It Still Will Not Start Your Car, The Transponder Has To Be Programmed For The Car To Start, The Remote Is Not The Transponder.

Hey guys my x5 and it came with one key. Dealer was not a authorized bmw dealer and was willing to buy a new key from Germany via vin#. Does it require programming at the dealer or is it something I can do on my own?
I was in the same situation, purchased my X5 with one key FOB. My salesman ordered/bought the key FOB for me as well. I was told or I read on here (can't remember) that you have to have it programmed at a authorized BMW dealership and It cost a couple hundred dollars and it take 2 hours. Now, idk if you can do it on your own or not, but I had my vehicle in for scheduled maintenance on Saturday and asked if they could program my key FOB.
When I went back to pick it up yesterday, they didn't program the FOB. I asked my SA about it. He took my vehicle and both FOBs and 5 minutes later it was programmed, no charge! Hey guys my x5 and it came with one key. Dealer was not a authorized bmw dealer and was willing to buy a new key from Germany via vin#. Anuradhapura map pdf. Does it require programming at the dealer or is it something I can do on my own? Pretty sure it will have to be programmed at the dealership.
Hopefully the selling dealership will cover that cost as well. They mentioned they will cover the cost. Every car should have two keys. I fought for it and they finally gave in. Moving forward if I ever purchase another car the first thing I will ask for is 2 fobs. Hey guys my x5 and it came with one key.

Wow 5 min I can deal with that but 2 hours that's crazy! Car is currently in the shop so hopefully I can drop off the key and get it done.
I just went thru this as the 2015 X5 i bought only came with one key. Non bmw dealer bought the key at bmw of dallas for $500. Guy said over the phone that programming would be another $200.
How To Program Bmw Smart Key
I went to pick up the key and the parts guy said you can program it yourself. It is super easy, make sure your original key is away and that your car is unlocked. Then put the new key next to the key icon on the steering wheel column on the right hand side. Then start the car. Its just that easy and i would not pay $200, for less than 5 min of doing literally nothing. Hope this helps one thing this only works with new keys.

That little icon thing is where you placed your smart key if the battery is weak so you can start the car. Yes but a brand new key requires programming only if u have comfort access. I guess I will see tomorrow when u go in and pick up the truck. Had some issues with it PDC malfunction and valve tronics failed. Only 7000 km. Also got this in the mail today great way to protect ur expensive key.
