I can’t believe this worked - had a new key made ($650!) and BMW said it would cost $200 to program and I’d have to tow the car to their shop. This worked perfectly - thank you guys!!!
I have BMW X3 2014 and I encountered to "Replace remote control battery" message. I replaced battery but I received same error again. I tried 3-4 brands of batteries but my problem did not resolved. Now I tried your method 2 times and my problem solved. Thank you Tyler Dawson. 😘
This didn't work for my 2018 manual transmission 340, but after some trial and error based on comments in this thread, I was able to get it. Here's what I did that worked: (1) placed working key far away from car so only the new key was present (2) while ONLY PRESSING IN CLUTCH, held start button for a few seconds until the notification came on dash to hold key up to sensor (3) while still keeping clutch depressed and holding start button, held top of the key against the sensor.
Where you put original key then ? Nobody inform that original old key should be in the car or not. Everyone grab thee key and programmed it. Is that possible without original key?
AWESOME! I bought BMW FOB from out of state dealer./ Furnished VIN. Would start car when touch to steering column. Would only start twice then had to go back to column. This is the ONLY post I have seen thsat advises hold "start" and "Lock" at same time and then go to column. It works! Started 5 or 6 times. ALL FUNCTIIONS work. I have been trying this for one year . EXCELLENT THANK YOU! Display actuially says "Updating key" Gave audio signal in about 3 seconds.. My dealer advised only could be programmed by BMW $140.00 and takes an hour..NOT TRUE
Is there a way to reprogram my second key to be recognised by immobilizer? Key was working fine but i tried to take radio out by bit of force and the key stopped working. I have other key that only locks car manualy. And the button on starting key doesnt work.
I have changed the battery of my BMW F30 recently. Despite the fact that the remote control is working fine it no longer activates the turn signals twice when you close it and once when you open it. How do I fix this ? Anticipated thanks for a quick reply.
The frequency of the key you need to purchase for your 2016 F22 (218i) depends on the region where the vehicle was originally sold. In general, North America uses 315MHz, Europe and Asia use 433MHz, while some countries use 868MHz. I always program with 315mhz and I live in usa.--- High Security Automotive locksmith---
Nice video. I have a 2012 F11 were it says "low battery" and when I put in a new 3V lithium battery it takes about 2-3 month and it says "low battery" again. I've checked it and it's ~3.6V on both the old and new battery and it's the same with both fobs and I can most of the times unlock the car from 20 yards. I still use them but sometimes it says "no key" and I can't start unless I lock and unlock a couple of times and sometimes hold the key to the steering column and then it starts but it always says low battery and it has been like this for 5 years. I will try your way and see if it works but I have to wait one month since I'm not at home. If it works I'll get back and say so.
Rob Fleps I would recommend trying this process first then trying it with the doors after repeatedly locking and unlocking with the fob outside of the car. If that fails then yes seek dealer to program doors for comfort access.
Hi. If per say I have a working remote key and I want to add one. Should I program the old key and new key for the remote function. Coz I remember the old ews 2-3 you have to program all remotes. Please let me knowm thanks
This does not work for my BMW M235i 😭 bought the car and the dealer couldn’t find the spare so they ordered me a new one. Tried this and it doesn’t work. Anything I’m missing here? 😫
thank you for this video! I was able to sync to start but the car is still unresponsive to both the buttons on the FOB as well as Comfort access. Thoughts?

None of these work and I’m convinced the comments are just burner accounts promoting the video
I agree
Thank you! The push start/stop button method did not work on a clients F87 M2 but central locking switch worked.

How to do this with e60 from 2004 with old diamond shape key? The regular guides are all for older models, but not for e60 :(
Am I able to program a used key fob that was originally programed to another car to mine using this method?
Did you figure this out yet ?
No, FOB from another car will not work unless it's refreshed with $600+ tool and programmed to your car.
You helped me a lot guys thanks!!!
Worked for me first time
Will this work on a F10 BMW 2013 5 series ?????
Does this work on the bmw 1 series e87?
The look on that guy's face is priceless
Would this work if my doors lock and un lock a lot after i try to only lock them? They seem glitchy
Does this work for keys with touchscreen on it
Am I able to program a brand new key fob to the car doing this method?
Thank you! Great advice, but it didn’t work for 750Li M

I have a 2017 x3 28i
How do I do this I don't have a button under my Hazzard
I get a message that my key battery is empty. I put in a new battery but the message doesn't go away. When I do this I get that message

Is it resolved?
Any luck here? I have a 2012 F10 and my fob dies weekly. Yes, weekly (about 5 days from fresh to dead - thank you amazon for cheap batteries).
Is this possible for the older say the 2005 545i turn-key?
how can digital key displays be updated on my bmv 2018 is bmv who can make it erase the data from the key and insert my bmv data into the key
Would this procedure work with a used key from another car that is the same model and year as mine, or do I need to buy a new key?
I’ve got the same question and need some assistance.
Of it did, BMWs would be soooo easy to steal...
@@duss5176 not if it requires the original key fob to be nearby during programming of second key fob.
No, F30 2012-later cannot use another key from another car or even a new key. Has to be from dealer or programmed with $600+ tool.
Do you know how to do this for a g30?
Only thing is I have comfort access touch control for the doors and trunk so do I still have to go to the Dealer for the $180 ?
Rob Fleps I would recommend trying this process first then trying it with the doors after repeatedly locking and unlocking with the fob outside of the car. If that fails then yes seek dealer to program doors for comfort access.

FEM cannot be programmed in your drive way like older BMWs with CAS. Need dealer or professional tools set.
Going to buy a keyless bmw 535i can I buy a new key fob and start the car to see if anything is wrong?
Any luck with this or if you ended up buying a new fob, how did you end up getting it programmed? I have a 2012 535xi (F10) that I need a new fob for
It is work thanks f02 2014
Amazing!
Does the car have to be on?
No just in auxiliary mode
This does not work for my BMW M235i 😭 bought the car and the dealer couldn’t find the spare so they ordered me a new one. Tried this and it doesn’t work. Anything I’m missing here? 😫
Did you find a fix?
Doesn't work for F25
thank you for this video! I was able to sync to start but the car is still unresponsive to both the buttons on the FOB as well as Comfort access. Thoughts?
Ill be doing this on my F34 with comfort access in a few days, When I bought my car the batteries were dead and it did the same as what you are saying
key is faulty or needs to be programmed by dealer
This is just for emergencies. Some keys don't work some do and some just open the doors...
