Car Forum / BMW Cars / February 2005Key Initialization Help
I recently ran down my battery in my 2001 740i, and since then my key does not activate the functions (memory settings, etc.). When I got a new key from the dealer (when I bought the car they couldn't find it), and the salesman went through a procedure to initialize the key by putting it in the ignition then going through a few steps. I didn't see exactly what he did, but I need to do it now. I've RTGDM but it doesn't contain any help about this. Does anyone out there know the procedure?

About a year ago one of the service advisors at All Pro BMW in Gainsville, FL told me how to do this, but I can't find where I wrote it down. The way it's described here sounds right though.

Kyle. 98 740iL 97 M3 Thanks for the info. I will give it a try, but I sure don't remember the salesman holding the key near his left shoulder, but who knows, maybe this is the best way to do it. Thanks again. >> Try the description here http://www.bimmerboard.com/forums/posts/12708 . >> About a year ago one of the service advisors at All Pro BMW in [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > 98 740iL > 97 M3 |
