Keyless Go Retrofit Possible???

Magic Man · 01-21-2011, 05:16 PM

I realize this is probably a lost cause, but is there any way to retrofit a Keyless Go feature in a non-Comfort Access 2007 e90?

I don't mind pushing the buttons to lock/unlock the doors, but it just seems stupid to me to have to insert the key and then separately push the Start button. (Yes, I know I should have gotten the Comfort Access option when purchasing, so please don't flame me now...)

Has been discussed in multiple threads. Its almost impossible to retrofit. There are sensors in the door handles, receptors in the roof, wires and modules everywhere for the CA.
Do not waste any time.

there might be a way for start/stop only

when you stop the car, and take out the key...you can then restart it while its in Accessory mode (with no key!)

It is POSSIBLE retrofit, The most complicated thing - to get from BMW comfort access key for car with no comfort access. I don't know about USA, but in Russia I can solve this problem (but I can't order USA key with 315 MHz, it is prohibited frequency in Russia).

the rest part of retrofit costs (in EU) about 620 euro and one day of working
