Default How to program a new key fob

If your short a key fob or lost yours this is a cheap way to replace it. I purchased my fob on ebay for $30 and programmed it myself.


**Read all the way through. The last line is important.**

1. Make sure all doors, hood and trunk are closed.

2....

Please document the year model of the car and the part number of the remote.

Good info to have around!

I noticed under your information that this is a 6 cylinder car. I am not sure if that affects it at all, but I do not see why it would. Also mine is a early 1996 and has the three button controller, even though most literature says it should be a two button. Have you checked behind the glovebox to look at the Alarm control unit. If there is a small door that you can open with an empty chip location under the door than it is a three button.

I used to have a remote for it and it was a 2-button. But that remote got messed up. When I would put a new battery the light stayed lit up and eventually die out.

Some "2 button" after market remotes are like Microsoft mice, you get button 3 (panic) by hitting both buttons at the same time...

I've seen several versions, the Alpine (Like my 95) came mostly in the 3 button version but I've met guys with 2 button BMW stamped Alpine remotes as well. Maybe its just the 95's?

Well, I'm totally confused -- I have a '96 (built 2/96) AT. Did all the 318ti cars come with keyless remote? I have a central locking system (functional), if that's any help. The one OEM key I got with the car has the little roundel light button, but that's it. Would like to add the keyless, but it's not clear if I need the 2 or the 3 button version...
