Battery replacement keys for bmw
If the batteries on your BMW fob are drained you might be wondering, «Can I change the battery on the BMW key fob?». The answer depends on the type you own. The older diamond-shaped BMW fobs, for example are not made to be used to replace batteries. They are glued to the backplate, so trying to pry off the backplate is likely to do some damage to the fob. The CR2450 battery or CR2032 can be replaced in older fobs by opening the fob.
For the more well-known smart key models (like those in the 1, 3, 5, 7, and X series) You can press the small tab to release the valet key made of metal and then open the access port with the screwdriver or a similar tool. This should reveal a small groove. The valet key can be removed using the tool to pull the tab in and push it out. Replace the old battery with a brand new one, and then put the cover back on.
If you have a Display Key with touchscreen you’ll need to adopt a different approach. While the Display Key is extremely water resistant, it is not as water-proof as the standard key fob, which means you will need to be cautious about exposure to excessive water. While it can survive an immersion in the washing machine, it’s recommended to treat it just as you would treat a smartphonedo not worry about rain but keep it out from a body of water.
Our service technicians will deactivate your fob if you lose your smartkey and are concerned that it will fall into the wrong hand. This will prevent it from being used to unlock or start the vehicle. We are also able to assist you with any repairs needed to the fob, so please contact us for assistance!
