F10 Key fob
Hello, I have a key fob that belonged to a 2016 535D. I bought the car a couple of years ago and returned it within a week because it was all kinds of jacked up. I just found that I still have one of the keys. I'd like $50 for it. Thanks. Edit: I've updated the price to $25. I have no use for this thing and don't want to just throw it away. I'm pretty sure I have come across threads before with instances of reprogramming or coding these to work. Last edited by E90angeleyes; 07-15-2021 at 07:37 PM.. |

FYI. Key fobs can't be reused on another car. Beside the fact that the metal key is already cut, the transponder cannot be reprogramed once programmed for a car. Unless someone desperately wants it for the plastic shell, it's pretty much useless.

I thought it could be reprogrammed. Not by BMW (can, but won't), but by a coder.

You can do it with a Yanhua Mini ACDP.

I believe the dealership can reprogram them for less than $200.

I'm surprised by the misinformation. spielnicht is the only one correct.
A random key cannot be programmed to a random car. When a car is produced, there are 10 transponder chips manufactured that match the FRM and other modules in the car. 2 end up in keys, the rest stays with BMW. If you order a replacement key from BMW, one will be made with the existing transponder chip and cut to your car, up to 8 times. After that you will need new FRM module and a new collection of chips. That's why the aftermarket solution linked above contains both the key chip and the replacement modules. A key from a random car cannot be made to work to start the car (but it might be programmed to open doors/windows, which is separate from engine immobilizer). It's either a paperweight or can be used to source a shell. |

Like it's been said, this is great for the shell if yours is beat up and just want to swap the guts!
