2012 and up - Program or Activate or program new BMW Proximity key

You, sir, my good man, is the only one who shows how the programming is done in action. I was told by the dealer and then watched probably five or six other videos and still could not program my new remote, because all the other videos are all talk, zero action. I was going to go back to my dealer and ask them what's up. But I was able to program my new key fob at the first try after watching your video. A HUGE thumbs up!
An added suggestion, rename your video "activate or program new BMW key fob", and it will most definitely get more views!

Bought a second fob as a spare, does it say ‘unidentified key’ with anyone else?? It’s same MHz as my original key

Did not work. I bought the key from amazon, does it have to be purchased from the dealer?. Those are $350

after i press it second time it says hold key up against steering column?

Thank you so much

Could it Help With my Key fit the BMW 7 series f02

It works thanks. But the key can’t lock/unlock the car

This is how its done:
Open old shell of bmw fob
Take the “green panel” - a motherboard- out and place it in exactly the same way - in the new key fob. Close it. Open a back of key fob and placed a new battery positive side up.
You may have hold the key next to the key sign once to start the car. After that the fob is programmed and good to use.
PS
If you place the battery in while the whole thing is open a lot easier just make sure the positive side of the battery is down.
Hope it helps, enjoy 😉

Just made my weekend! Thank you man!

Great video straight to the point!!
Could you mention where did you get the key fob from

Hey Dude, that 'music' (Racket - is overpowering) i had to run this video a few times to catch what you were actually saying, but thanks for posting 🙂👍

Hello
I have an original key with a brand new battery (f20 2016) with confort access.
I can t open or close the door with the buttons.

I tried your tutorial with brake and start and the car engine start normally but i still can t open/close the car with buttons

What do you think i can do ?

I tried it, but it didn't work. I don't know if the fob is gone. Actually this is my spare fob and it's been sitting idle for more than 4yrs

Doesn't work :(

Guys, It doesn't work for me. I did all same steps. Any suggestions?

Hi

I am having the following trouble, my key fob wont lock the car at all, i have changed the key fob battery and still no luck. Strange 2 things is,
1. it does allow me to still start/drive/stop the car.
2. I can not lock the car with the manual metal key either.

Really stuck on what to do, i have tried reprogramming the key, as shown in the video, it did nothing

Nope

So if I would buy a keyfob online and do this it will program the key to start the car ???? Please reply

Bonjour cette procédure fonctionne pour une clé after market? Où doit être une clé OEM ?

I have a spare fob not the original (random). Dealer gave this to me probably from another bmw. Can I use this fob to program / activate with my BMW X3?

When i try this, my car just starts without issues. But the car won't recognize the key until I touch the column with it. I replaced the battery and still the same thing. Are there any other suggestions?

Hello would this work , on a 2007 bmw 328i ?

Grande video

Salve mi servirebbe anche a me una chiave pre programmata

I watched a few other videos and wasted my time your video worked perfectly on 2019 BWM M4. Thanks for sharing.

And just to think that a BMW dealership will charge you $250 to program a key fob...... Thx for the video bud👍

What if I lost the original key and had to order a new one. Will I need the old key for this to work?
