Grr... I WAS WRONG.
The initial presentation of the KIBMW was that it would only equire keys to be lost - i.e., used in the installation - if the car had Comfort Access. That was my understanding.
But I am told by Directed technical that the key must still be used. Since the DLPK/KIBMW use similar technology to the Fortin CAN-SL2 and BMW-INT, I can only assume the same applies to those units.
Since iDatalink doesn't even list a BMW on their lookup tool, they don't appear to have any solution at all - so, it would appear that you are losing a key (or a pellet if you decide to only lose a valet key and have another made, which is what I would do).
My apologies for allowing my dated information to lead others astray.
I bought all this stuff and haven't hooked it up... boy, would I have been in for a surprise.
