Smart Keys
Smart key technology is present in many modern BMW models. These advanced keys let you unlock your trunk, car, or even turn it on with the touch of the button. But these high-tech fobs are not indestructible and will eventually require replacement. A BMW parts specialist can determine whether your battery or the entire fob will need to be replaced.
Smart keys come with special features designed with security in mind. They're designed to deter theft and fraud as well as to provide more convenience for drivers. The key fobs contain tiny transmitters that transmit a unique signal to the vehicle. The key is identified and informs the system what to expect when the driver is driving by. This information is later verified by the system. If the signal does not match, the vehicle won't start or unlock. This feature helps protect against unauthorised entry and lets the vehicle remain locked even if the driver accidentally leaves it outside.
Another feature designed to safeguard your car and its keys is the ability to deactivate your fob remotely. This is a crucial security feature to have if you ever lose your BMW keys. By sending an alert to the fob, you can turn off it and make it ineffective. This is done by pressing and pressing the small button at the base of the fob for a short period of time.
BMW's most advanced fob is the Display Key, introduced for the G11 7 Series and now available in several premium models. The Display Key goes one step further than a standard fob by adding a full-color touchscreen. With the help of the screen, the driver is able to perform a range of functions that aren't possible with the standard fob, like setting up their own personalized settings. They can also lock or unlock their car using the screen. If their car model has self-parking, they can even manage it.
Fobs

These options are intended to make driving more enjoyable, while also providing some security. You can track your vehicle remotely, which is important in the event that it is stolen.
In addition to remote unlocking, BMW's newest fobs have a growing list of functions. They now have the ability to control the car's climate, start its engine, and even monitor its fuel level. The Display Key offers a variety of parking options remotely, including the ability to move your BMW into tight spots from up to 1,000 feet away.
If you've lost your BMW key or have an older fob with an inoperative battery you can still start your vehicle manually. To do this, you'll need to press and hold the key release button on the bottom of the remote fob. This will allow you to enter the vehicle by removing the internal key blade. Once inside, then press and hold the ignition button to begin your vehicle.
Newer BMW models also come with the ability to replace the key fob battery at home. However, this process can be difficult because key fobs are sealed with glue. Attempting to remove the glue could result in damage to the fob and result in costly repairs.
Older BMW fobs come with a battery that can be replaced with a standard CR2032 battery. They can be bought at the local auto parts shop or online. Change the BMW key battery will save you a significant amount of money and ensure that your key fob will function properly.
