OEM BMW virgin Keyfob type 5 aka CA fob

BIMMERPOST / Classifieds
Asking Price:
USD 70.00
Shipping Costs Included

Location:
✓ Will Ship

Item Interest
I have one new OEM virgin key fob for sale. It comes with a blank emergency blade as well. I bought 2, but only ended up using one. It is virgin, so with a right tool, you can program it to your CAS and initialize with your car. You will need a key programmer to get it done. BMW dealer cannot program this key, look around for a Locksmith that works on BMW first, and it will cost around $100 to get it done. With a right tool, it'll probably be a few mins if you have a working key.

A normal replacement at the dealer will cost about $280-300 for the fob and the blade is another $70. So about $370, and that is if you can initialize it yourself. I've told that dealer charges another $180 to initialize and disable lost key. $170 vs $370

I can guide you in the right direction and how these keys work (all the details about these BMW keys, etc..), just PM me with questions. But I cannot add the key or reprogram it for you.

It is for 2004 - 2013 BMW 3 Series and 5 Series with Comfort access.

The Xhorse BMW Multi tool will code this key in about five minutes. I would buy it but you can only have two CA keys programmed to your car at the same time.

Good luck with the sale.

Out of curiosity, can a CA key work as a traditional key with a car that doesn't have CA?

Yes it can but it would be a waste of money. They make high quality aftermarket non CA keys for $18 shipped. I have yet to find a good aftermarket CA key.

Really??

I should have thought of that! At that price maybe I'll buy a spare!

Do you happen to know if 3rd parties can cut the insert also, assuming blank inserts are available aftermarket also?

You don't happen to have a link handy for aftermarket non-CA fob from a decent seller....?

They can cut it without needing the original or car?

How does that work?

Not sending my current insert to them to copy...

What you do is sending them a picture of your key. They should be able to extract out the HU92 code. They will cut your key from there. All these keys have a code. BMW has them, so whenever you order a blade. They actually don't need your original key, they can just cut it at BMWNA in NJ and mail it to you!

An original key from BMW won t need any initializing. You just plug it in the slot and start the car. At that point the key syncs with the car and that s all you need to do. If you want to delete a lost key from the car and block it, that s different story and yes, for this you might need to get to the dealer or to someone with ISTA. To order a key from BMW , they only need the VIN and the proof that you are the legal owner pf the car.
