Programming of Key?

JIMD1709 · 10-14-2006, 08:40 AM

Hey guys, got an extra key fob, and want to program it myself. I know that on the E46 you could. Wondering if it's the same for E90?

YEA. you go to your manual and look up programing. Take that key only in the car and use the Turnsignal/ Onboard computer lever and program the fob. When i got my car my 2 fobs did different things. Example, one fob all the locks unlocked/the other only the driver door. One, the car locked automatically when you drove/the other did not. You program your running lights or not, etc all from there and it programs the only the fob in the car at the time.

That's a bummer. You used to be able to program them yourself, like on the E46, ect. I used to do it all the time for customers.
