Question

How do i reprogram my key fob for my bmw 3t-ews car alarm as my kids have pressed the button to many times?

Answer 1

not to experienced but im pretty sure you have to have a bmw dealer do it...its pretty expensive too i think..but dont take my word...

Answer 2

I called BMW Melb. today re a new key for my 2001 540.  $520 for the key and $80 to program it.   Doncaster BM said $540 for both.  

Answer 3

Before you do a new one or try to reprogram the old one try replacing the battery on the one you have.  It may just be dead.

I purchased a used alarm fob for my 96 318 for $50 on the web and they sent the instructions.   It's not hard to do just complicated if yours is the same as mine.

All doors closed

Open trunk prop open

Open driver door get in close door

W/0 starting car turn key to "on position" and off position 5 times within 10 seconds.   Alarm light comes on.  Press first button light will flash after a few seconds.

Get out of car and leave door open

Close trunk

Get back in car and close door.

First button should now work.  (have windows open btw to unlock car from inside should they lock)

Repeat above for second button.

This is all I can remember of the process.   Guys on Ebay sell this instruction for like $10 and email them to you.

This is free but I may have left off a step as I'm old and memory fails me now at times..........grin.

Good luck
