new key fob programming???
Hello All!
I'm interested in acquiring an additional key for my f83 without paying retail and the enormous programming fee. Does anyone know for sure that if one would to purchase a "virgin" and uncut key (the uncut part doesn't matter), that it can definitely be programmed by the owner using the steering column (to include comfort access). I have heard that when using the steering column to program the key, comfort access features will not work... and I have heard that it will work. I want the key, obviously, to work just as the current key that I have and am trying to avoid high dealer cost for the key. If anyone can be of assistance, I'd greatly appreciate it! Thanks!

So my dealer is charging me $350 for a new key and $75 to program... Assuming program means comfort access? I have heard that the keys come programmed when purchased from a dealer... Meaning that when it first arrives at the dealer, it will start the vehicle without additional programming. Anybody have any info on obtaining a new key without the dealer rape charges?

You can program yourself. However you must pay the $350 key fee to the dealer. I do not have comfort access and was able to program my new key by placing next to a spot on steering column, right side center of column. Hold in location for 5 secs and then test lock/unlock and start. Very simple procedure.
