BMW X3 Key Programming

by Rabster, 14-11-2019, 06:06 PM

BMW X3 - Key Remote Programming

Three methods to try:

Method 1:

1. Working from within the vehicle and with the doors shut

2. Turn ignition to position 1 and back to off within 5 seconds.

3. Remove the key from ignition and press and hold the unlock button for 15 seconds during this time press the key lock button 3 times within 5 seconds.

4. Release both buttons.

5. Doors will lock and unlock to show correct programming has occurred.



Method 2:

To do this procedure you need to have one working key and one key that needs to be programmed.

1) Get in and close all doors.

2) Turn on the ignition and turn off quickly. (No more than 5 seconds) to start the process. Next action must take place within 30 seconds.

3) Remove the 1st key.

4) Hold the key up near your left shoulder (this is so it is closer to the remote receiver antenna.

5) Hold down the unlock button and press the lock button 3 times. Release the unlock button and the doors lock which confirms the operation.

6) Quickly repeat steps 4 & 5 for key #2 etc.

If it does not work, try doing the keys in opposite order. Key 2 then key 1, vs 1 then 2.



Method 3:

Alternate if you do not have a working remote

1. Turn key to position 1 five times very quickly 2. Remove key 3. Hold unlock button then press lock button 3 times, release unlock button.

4. If you have another key do the same button pressing within 30 seconds 5. Turn on ignition to finalise.

PLEASE NOTE: This programming procedure programs the remote control part of the key. Any transponder chip for the immobiliser (starting of car) will not be programmed and must be done by a specialist.

yet another forum newbie!

Hello all,

I have been interested in getting a project car for some time... however the first four cars I have had have been god awful vauxhalls and fiats for insurance costs etc.. (not worth spending any money on in my opinion) anyway...

I have had a '01 Lexus IS200 for about a month. looks and styling certainly need improving in the short term, yet I am still unsure of my prefered look. long term tuning will be to aspirate and improve handling, any suggestions or ideas will be appreciated as I know the options are limited.

Thanks all

Seen this advertised in the Banzai mag. So i thought i'd plunge straight in. Im currently living out in germany, but do travel back to the uk to make as many meets as is possible. I have two jap cars, a jap bike an even a jap wife (well ok i dont really have a jap wife).

I have a mazda 323f v6 which i use as my winter ride, an also a Toyota supra j-spec twin turbo.

The latter car been the one i like to mod a little bit more. Currently the toyota is dressed up in hewlett packard and rally for heroes livery. This is for an event 49 other cars/bikes and myself are doin next year.

Mod wise i bought the toyota pretty much as standard as i could find. Its got a blitz stainless air filter, Blitz exhaust and a boost gauge, and that is all...for now. Im in the middle of a complete interior strip out to replace anything that is old and worn. Thought this was a couple of pieces at first but the list grows. Any how enough of my blabbering heres some pictures for you guys.





cheers for looking. http://www.rallyforheroes.com

in car 5v usb wiring?

by el_bandido, 12-11-2019, 02:44 PM

I've just been looking at the Raspberry Pi device set to come out next month, which runs on a 5v USB power supply. I was planning on testing this as a base for an in car computer, but I need to sort out the power supply. Has anyone wired a USB hub directly in to the 12v rail before?

It will be an interesting test base for Centrafuse linux edition as well. Plus... it supports component video out, which saves me a bit of hassle.

Thoughts please.

Edit - NEVERMIND. Found a USB adapter for the cig lighter, problem solved! Watch this space for a £30 in car computer

Merry christmas

I like to wish all Members of the OutlawJapClub a very Merry Christmas great and successful New Year.

Some of you will notice that I have not been around.

I hope your all give the Management of the club all your support for the New Year.

This club has a great opportunity to be the best Japanese club in the country only if certain people and they know who they are to allow the club to move forward.
Those people should either back the club or leave.

Anyway Merry Christmas to you all and a very happy New Year.

I'm new on here. I have a 94 Honda Prelude 2.0 and I will be getting a 91 Toyota Celica in about a week. My Honda is on the road and the Toyota will be a project/race/track car. Any help or advice on how to get started fairly cheaply would be much appreciated.
