The BMW smart key, and how we set one up.
The three-button version of this BMW fob drops the panic button and keeps the essentials: lock, unlock and trunk. Some cars left the factory with this layout, and some owners simply prefer it. It only matters that the replacement works with your car's system, which depends more on model, year and frequency than on the number of buttons. Inside the fob is a small metal key. It slides out when you press the release and fits the driver's door, which you will be glad of the first time the fob or the car battery goes flat. The fob itself is what the car checks before it lets the engine start. So the job has two halves. We cut the insert to your door lock, then code the fob to your BMW with the car on hand. We need the registration and photo ID before we begin. If you are replacing a fob that was lost rather than one that broke, let us know whether you still have another key, since that changes how much work the vehicle needs. Most 3-button orders we see are second keys for households that only got one with a used car.
How to order. Call with the SKU. We confirm the price, the stock and the fit, then cut, program or fit it. Items in stock are usually ready the same day.
