[Miltonian]

Hi guys

my key has reached its worst condition ever.
where can i get a replacement key casing ?
rather urgent.
in Joburg please.

I think I have a couple here. Send me a pm and I'll go check in the morning. Is this for the diamond key or the version before it?

Is it possible to replace just the plastic key casing on the e46 diamond key?

Hey guys, I've got 5 * E46 diamond casings here. They all have blades, so you'll have to get the keys cut again, but any locksmith shop should be able to do it for cheap.

Casings are R150 each. I've also got lots of other casings and bits here for E36, E39 and E46 - even a few plain transponder keys.

Could you pm me what you have for the E36?

Hey bud, please pm me a pic of the key you have rather. I'll check on my side to make sure. I have 2 button and 3 button casings, with new button inserts as well.

Or just buy the rubber part it would be less than R20.(buy like 4). Link :idea: http://www.aliexpress.com/item/New-...81,searchweb201560_1,searchweb1451318400_6150

You will just have to wait like 3 months due to our Postal service

[Ratslaaf]

R50 each.

@Ratslaaf I'll take 2 of those off you hands at that price if it will fit my E39 key,

I have a question guys.

My wife's E46 325i remote, central locking messing around.

Doesn't want to work and I suspect it's the battery but this diamond shaped key looks like it's a sealed unit.

How do I go about this, anyone?

Sorry if I hijacked the thread bud.

They are sealed units, and the batteries inside do fail. But to make sure, you'll want to check with diagnostics if the problem is with the key or the General Module.

Thats an excellent price instead of waiting for it through the postal service and hoping it will get to SA and skip Customs. We have a supplier :clapper:

There is a number of tutorials on Youtube which walks you through the servicing of the diamond key of the E46.

ert,

Please pm me the price for a complete diamond key with remote and transponder chip. Also, will I have to take the key to the locksmith to program the transponder chip?

Thanks
