- This video shows you How To Update A BMW Key With No Key Slot. This procedure will apply to any vehicle that does not have a key slot and has a key symbol on the side of the steering column. This procedure updates the key for service maintenance information, mileage, check control messages, and fault codes to be read out by a dealer or shop with key reader capabilities. This can help find specific service information bulletins relating to problems with the vehicle or if you are going to give your spare key to your servicing location the key will have the latest information from your vehicle.

Wow, life saver
Gonna try this thanks wish me luck
Tried it didn’t work it did go to diagnostics mode but nothing after that waited held the lock button for 12sec nothing
Works with the bmw x6 2023 40i
Also the digital manual will come up as a suggestion for key malfunctioning which shows you how to position the key and when successful you put the vehicle in drive ready state
Will this work if I buy a key on the internet. I found one with the same FCCID Number as mine.
Those it keeps memory of previous records? Or writes over each update
It writes the new info each time and updates while driving in some cases.
Hi will this method also work for syncing a genuine display key that was retrofitted? My display key doesn’t show my car’s data on its display
Hello Raspreet Gill, You can definately try but I am not sure with a display key. Was the display key retrofitted using an aftermarket programming. I am not overly familiar with adding a display key. Can you send me more info on what you had installed?
@@AskTheCarExperts hey thanks for the reply, I got the display key retrofitted from my official BMW service centre for my G20. The key only locks and unlocks the car. The display on it doesn’t show my car’s range, door status,etc. It’s just not syncing the car’s details. I tried your method in the video too but it didn’t work. The service centre seems to be clueless.
@@raspreetgill I will have to do some research on this. Can you send me the last seven of your VIN at my website www.askthecarexperts.com
Can same process be done to add additional key after buying key from ebay?
Unfortunately no. This updates vehicle information. Ebay keys don't work with BMWs. I actually posed as a customer once with a key they bought. Worked through the lies from the company and the end result was to return the keys for a full refund. BMW keys are coded to the car to prevent theft. Only a dealer item Unfortunately.
My dealer replaced the idrive and now have no service history in vehicle status, using this method would it restore the service history onto the idrive
Hi Scott, This procedure updates the key by taking it from the vehicle. If the service history in the vehicle was lost it will not transfer correctly. The key unfortunately cannot send information back to the vehicle. It sounds like your vehicle lost service data during programming. It happens sometimes. But this information can be programmed back into the vehicle by the dealer using a test plan called CBS data correction and using a documented service history the service dates and mileage can be written back into the vehicle. I hope this helps to answer your question.
Hey where did you buy the key from?
Bmw. Only in California can a company duplicate a key. All other key services that I have seen are a scam online. BMW protects from theft so a key must be ordered by the dealer and it comes married to the vehicle.
is this same for 2015 x5? I cant figure mine out for the life of me. Both my keys batteries died which I've replaced but i dont know how to reprogram it.
Hello Giano, After replacing the batteries the remote should work normally. What type of problem is happening?
@@AskTheCarExperts the remote still is not working and the car is not detecting the key unless I press up against the side of the steering wheel. The batteries were new, maybe I’ll try getting a new pack?
@@gianoisabella-valenzi6761 I had this happen to me when I used cheap batteries once. Make sure to use a good name brand battery. If they where working before then it should just be a battery issue.
Does this work on a f30 2013 3 series?
Yes Same procedure to update the key with the vehicle information.
@@AskTheCarExperts does it need a battery on for it to work? Or can I do it without the battery inside the new key?
Do it work on 2022 x6???
Yes this would be the same procedure.
How long does a new key need to be keep it against the steering column? Next step is there anything else to do or is that all? Because the new key still doesn't work. Please help!
Hello, Did you purchase the key from a dealer or online?
@@AskTheCarExperts From BMW dealer, but I've already figured it out, so thanks anyway ☺️
How
Can this key fit in a key slot?
Hello Daaka, This style key only uses the passive go system. No key slot in newer BMW's.
Diagnostics mode comes up in my 2021 3 series but when I put my new fob to that spot nothing happens
Hello, Did you purchase the new key from a BMW dealer?
@@AskTheCarExperts yes I did, what should I do?
tell me please, how i can do it on G01 lci from USA. i am in Russia, there have not bmw official service. I can't reset oil service, it is not displayed question " reset?'. what i can to do
Hello, This is to update the key so a BMW dealer can read the key read information that is current. It will not program a key to work with a BMW that is not purchased from the dealer.
@@AskTheCarExperts the oil service is not reset, so I want to update the key, this is a native key that I use every day
@@AskTheCarExperts I understood that if the car is not online, then nothing will work, right?
Did not work on my G01 BMW X3 2018
This is only to update key information for a BMW center to read out of the key. If the info does not transfer there may be a programming fix that helps with that.
Doesn’t work
Sorry to hear that. This procedure is so a dealer can read key info, not for updating a replacement key.
This procedure is NOT accurate therefore video should be removed since it doesn't help at all
From all the other comments this worked fine for them. Could be something wrong with your key or car.
@@AskTheCarExperts you have to hold the start/stop button then everything else that you mentioned
@@Tiago98Please describe the process, I can't do it.
