Reprograming E36 M3 key

[Prego]

If any of you have ever tried reprogramming your key according to your car manual and have come up short,heres a hint.You have to point the key close to the mirror,while doing the re-prog.This is the only time the locks will cycle

Correct.

Those remotes were IR and not RF...

IR has become so old I think its become secure again.

Well this one had me confuzzled for like a decade on the E34....
