    Hello guys! Am i seeing correctly that it should be connecting to the board? Is it repairable? Will i need to replace the battery? Where can i get a key housing for a decent price? (And maybe a battery? (VL2020) picture: since i can't upload any image because of server error

    Hi guys, so I have an 03 325ci that I have been chasing a no crank issue for a few months. Basically a few months ago I got state reffed and had to convert my car back to stock. Had to swap headers, intake, tune and exhaust. Anyway the car was having some intermittent cranking issues before that...

    Hi, I’m having a problem locking/unlocking my car with key fob (also can’t open trunk with the key and interior lights don’t light up when I press unlock button, central locking button next to the handbrake is WORKING). Also I tried resync of keys - not working. Electrician checked both GM5 and...

    My E46 Door Lock is acting up. When I go place my key into the door lock it will unlock and unlock the drivers side door only which means when I open it I have to rush to turn my key in the ignition to turn the alarm off. It’s hit or miss when unlocking and locking my car as some times it will...

    I just bought a new key for my 2003 330Ci Convertible facelift and comfort functions don’t work with it. Wireless locking works, car can start as usual. When I use my old key, comfort functions work, I can remotely close/open windows etc. Where is problem? I have BMW Scanner 1.4 as well as...

    So as recommended and because it looked like the Problem, I replaced the two relays in the GM5 Module. However the Problem of not being able to lock/unlock the car with the key half the time, and the Problem of the key not wanting to program to the car still persists. The locking system DOES...

    I have tried every possible way that I can find to program the key fob but none of them work. I don't want to buy a new key and I have run out of ideas to solve this issue. The only thing I can think of is that the key is broken or the battery is faulty/discharged. I have been driving the car...

    Hi there, I have been trying to solve my 2003 e46 touring key problem without success. my remote opening and closing of the the doors/windows and rear window was working less and less until it did not work anymore. I thought it was the battery in the key. My other key has never worked for remote...

    The diamond key I have starts the car fine still, but not being able to lock & unlock remotely has been annoying. This winter my lock froze shut and I busted it trying to open it, so now I kind of need a working key. I know an eBay key won't start the car, but if I sync it to my car turning the...

    I purchased my 328Ci last night and he said the kefob was dead. When I got it home, I split open the keyfob and noticed the battery is missing. I did some research for like 30 minutes trying to find something but all I've found was about the solder type batteries. Does anyone know what battery...

    I recently bought an 03 325xi from a friend of mine. He had the key taped up. The buttons didn't work and upon peeling off all the tape I found out the battery was missing (the original terminals were still soldered to the board). I watched the battery replacement procedure and didn't seem any...

    Hey, So this might be a dumb thing to ask, but theoretically would it be possible to retrofit the newish touchscreen display key to work with an e46? Let's say money's out of the picture and the actual E46 diamond key that has no longer functional electronics is on a key chain w my house...

    Hey everyone just wandering what the best option for a replacement key would be after mine refuses to start the car. Preferably don't want to fork out a ton of money for a bmw one so if anyone has any recommendations it would be greatly appreciated.

    Long story short I programmed my new key with ak90 and its alright, key starts the car, but the thing is I don't know how to program it to unlock and lock the car. My old key ONLY starts the car too. I tried the method where you turn the key the first position 5 times then take it out and while...
