Keys for E46

[Daren]

Anybody know how or where can I get a spare key for car. I only have one key.

 

[Jandre]

Agents only. The key is coded afaik. I too need an extra key for my e36 and I can only get it from the agents.

 

[freerider]

only from the agents, take your proof of ID and also proof that you own the car.

...and some lube...like always...

When you do get your spare E46 key from the agents, please let us all know what it cost.... :mmm:

My last e36 remote key was R1600 with discount.

Reason for your dilemma is that each key has a transponder in that enables it to start your car. (immobilizer if you will) Thus only BMW can do this trick. If you still have your old key, you can simply 'transplant' all the goodies into a new key blank and have the key cut at any locksmith.

My GF locked my key in the boot when we were at Synergy... it was 2 hours before I was meant to play on the house floor and we were half dressed and the car doors were locked...

The rest of the story is pretty hectic and hilarious but the happy ending came just moments before my set when my dad's Aston Martin arrived from Cape Town at heroic speeds with the spare key.

Moral of the story?

GET A SPARE - and wear it around your neck when experimenting with mind altering substances at an outdoor concert!!!

Two words Matt: Cell Phone. Phone the guy with the spare key and hold your phone close to the car and watch the magic!

I have personally done it with a 2004 325i and a 2003 Merc CDi. :thumbsup:

 

[DonovanPorter]

Was quoted about 1800 two years ago.

It ONLY works with cell to cell eg NO telkom phones. Simply make the call and have the other person with the spare key press the remote close to his cellphone while you hold your cell close to the car. Done!

B U L L S H I T ! ! ! !

A cellphone is designed to carry a low-fidelity sound wave which is captured, converted to a digital signal, sent via microwave and then re-configured on the other side as a sound wave.

You are confusing a wave form (which acts on the microphone) to the signal given off by your transponder which is a form of electromagnetic radiation (Either far IR, Radio or MW). Cellphones are not, have never been, will never (M.T.L.) be designed to pick up, decode, transmit and emit other forms of EM radiation. (With the exception of those who use proprietary blue tooth or IR or WAN but this will talk to a key fob about as well as a laptop will and these functions are NOT designed to go over air only locally)

Next you'll tell me that the BEEPBEEP sound you hear is what actually unlocks the car and that there is a Swiss kid who has learnt to yodel this sound and can open any car if you squeeze his balls (actually this is more likely than your cellphone story)

I'm guessing that when you say "you" did this twice, you were actually tricked by the same person twice who phones a friend while he pushed the key fob in his pocket.

If you STILL believe this bollocks then I have some really bad news for you regarding Santa Claus, The Easter Bunny, The Tooth Fairy, that email you just got from The British Sweepstakes about your 1 Billion Pound Prize and that "4 weeks to penis enlargement" book you are currently reading.... then again, maybe I should just sell you some property. It's a guaranteed investment... really

I sense some misplaced anger again Matt. Whoosaa. Proof is in the pudding, so any member here is free to try it and have their own conclusion. Anybody want to test this?

 

[Matt Q]

Tested this morning before I sent that email... tested with Jezzy... a Land Cruiser 80 series with aftermarket alarm... a Honda S2000 and a Aston Martin

Maybe I'm just unlucky... maybe it doesn't work with iPhones... or maybe it's

B U L L S H I T

mwahahahaha!!
