Start with your key in the ignition. Turn the key from “OFF” to position 1 and back in rapid succession five times in a row.
Remove your key from the ignition
Hold down the unlock button on your key fob while you press the BMW logo three times
Release the unlock button
Insert your key back into the ignition, then start your car
And that’s all there is to it! Your new key should automatically sync with your BMW upon completing these steps. Of course, if you have any spares or additional keys needing pairing, you’ll need to take additional steps to program them.
Now that you’re ready to use your BMW’s key fob, why not take a moment to find more convenient
