Yes you got it. Thats exactly what I did. My only feedback from using the new key a couple weeks is that the RFID proximity detection isn't as good as the OEM key. Im sure this is a result of an inferior fake copy...more specifically, an inferior antenna on the circuit board as opposed to a 1MHz spec difference. |

you will not be able to get a OEM X5 key from BMW. Keys from BMW only come programmed to a specific vin. Just want to make sure everyone knows that incase someone is promoting you can buy a blank OEM key from a BMW store
Im sure you can get some knock off non OEM key from else where but I can't comment on that only from what you can get from a BMW dealer

When a BMW store orders a key they have to verify the vin and then BMW cuts the key and sends it pre programmed to the dealer. Think about it, if you could buy blank keys that were not pre programmed you could potentially use them to steal other cars? If you are able to get a blank key from a BMW dealer then I dont know how they were able to do it unless its a non OEM part

But isn't that what he is saying? He's going to order it with his VIN so it's preprogrammed from BMW to be able to pair it with his car. If this works, I'd rather go that route than the X5M key. Way cooler key! Haha

Maybe I miss read that, so he has a i8 and is ordering a i8 key? If so then of course he can do that. I was under the impression he was ordering a i8 key using his f80 vin and was thinking it would work? If he has a i8 and is ordering a i8 key then of course you can do that, what he does after that with the key is his own business

example: buyer calls the dealership and want to order a new key. They tell the service advisor there vin and what car they have (vin once in the computer obv will show what model the car is) the parts dept orders the key, bmw sends the key that matches the vin/,model. you can't say here is my vin, send me a 7 series key. There may be some sort of loop hole with this I dont know, I can only comment on what our dealership does and has experience and done for 24+ years as far as keys go.

A vehicle locksmith in Hong Kong has the OEM 434MHz blank keys in stock and he is able to program it to work with my M3 CS. He has done a few cars before mine including 2 series. The procedure is not that simple as the locksmith had to take out my FEM and use a chip reader to read one of the chip inside the module so he can generate a security code in order to program in a new key.
He is a link to the video of the key in action. https://www.instagram.com/p/BwWVTY5H...d=4xku20l7jgre |
