BMW Key Fob Battery Replacement (Comfort Access)

[@jimarti61]

Why would 173 people dislike this video? Nice work man clear and to the point. I was about to buy a whole key. I'm going to try this out today

[@Jayr0]

Probably all Audi owners dude.

[@MandusahRamirez]

Probably because they have the one that’s harder to get off like mine in my 08 528i😕

[@andreiarmstrong3858]

The rechargeable key fob people lol

[@AyroZz]

They don't have comfort access

[@micdev42]

Thanks for this Justin, really helpful. In case anyone else is interested, my old Duracell 2032 batteries (in both my key fobs) lasted less than 18 months each. I'm in the UK. My remote locking and comfort access stopped working and I thought the worse: I hadn't used my E93 that much and wasn't that familiar with its operation. I put new Duracell batteries in both keys when I bought the car about 2 years ago so I thought that was that. However in desperation I thought I'd check the batteries just in case. Yep, both were dead! Put in new Panasonics and all is working again. I must say I was getting cheesed off using the emergency key to unlock, then leaping in to cancel the alarm each time! Thanks again.

[@namiqaliyev5152]

Thanks sir. Did not know my bmw key was comfort one. Discovered that just now after watching your video. Pulled the old battery and tomorrow will replace it with new one. Thanks !

[@justinbuice]

Glad I could help!

[@DX88]

You didn't know you never have to use the key to unlock the car?

[@EtinxD]

Keep it up dude your content really helps the younger crowd preform DYI's. I just bought a 2011 328i :D !!

[@justinbuice]

Congrats!

[@maxhuerta2070]

Hey great video,just got my 335xi as a first car and all your diy videos are definitely going to help!

[@mikemartin6857]

Thank you so much for this video!! I had just recently sent of my comfort access key along with my cas unit to be programmed to a new msd81 dme. Got it back and was super bummed out that the key wasn't working....... bmw was quoting $500 for another key........... you just saved me $495 😲💯

[@PassiveIncomeInvesting]

how do i know if i have the comfort access or not?

[@spacepotato2277]

Thanks for the video--wasn't sure how to open it on my own. Extra tip for ultra-lazy people like me who can't be bothered to walk to the toolkit for a screwdriver--the narrow tip of the emergency key can also do the screwdriver part of prying up the cover.

[@stephenpato5524]

Serendipitously happened to have a CR2032 lying around and needed this done. Thank You Kindly Sir! Also need a CR2450 for my F30, been struggling to find one though...

[@greatestever7623]

This is the best video on how to change e90 key battery all the other ones are garbage 👍👍👍👍👍👍 justin 10/10

[@dominicmoore6828]

Thank You! Been trying to figure it out for a couple weeks now. People tell you to break the fob open just to have to solder the battery back to the motherboard and super glue it back 2gether. I'm so broke I wouldn't be able to buy the glue let alone the soldering materials. But, I do have grey duct tape! Even the hamster in the wheel under the hood has grey tape on him. Your the best in the world.

[@pelondv]

Literally just like you said saved me a trip to the dealer 🤘🏻👍🏼 thanks for your vid lol

[@justinbuice]

nice!

[@BeemerBeysProductions]

Thx so much, was literally trying to pry open the plastic from the sides before i came across this!

[@jssjuly]

Legit perfect timing! I just got the message today for my key fob!

[@justinbuice]

Nice! Glad I could help

[@CarsSupercars]

This is the first video about battery replacement. Nice one 😀

[@TheChaves]

You made my life so much easier! Thank you!

[@titusrome2863]

Nice and simple video with a little extra knowledge on comfort access Thank you so much !!!!!

[@alyssareid4243]

Thank you!! I thought I was going to have to go all the way to the dealership.

[@DougRichardsonusa]

Thank you for taking the time for the video!

[@watson10132]

Dude, you are great! Help alot, thanks!

[@BMWFanatic]

Lucky! Wish I had Comfort access! Armando from BMW is waiting for my message so he can just order me a new key when mine tanks lol

[@justinbuice]

I heard they are expensive. I guess if you pay the price for comfort access, they give you a break on the battery :D

[@BMWFanatic]

Justin Buice Not too shabby through Armando since he gets that stuff a wholesale prices and they arrive in the mail to you already coded to your VIN 😀

[@RidwanMaassarani]

How much ?

[@PuddinTane270]

I need his number

[@TheCody29006]

Thank you big help! Question: one if the key pods were left in pants pocket and washed and dried. Now does not work. Answers?

[@justinbuice]

try letting it dry out for a few days and put a new battery in. It's possible that the key fob is ruined though

[@wgoldsborough]

Best video for this key fob. Thanks

[@flipstr2]

Thanks alot Bud. Short and effective video

[@lovebuzzbeats3273]

Does this battery work for my 2016 328i xdrive with comfort access. I’m getting a warning on my dash.

[@jenyr19]

A question is not deprogrammed the key? since I changed the control of a Jetta and the key was deprogrammed and didn't want to turn on

[@msrtaha6174]

what you mean by this video won't do you any good what could happen? Asking because I do have comfort access(not working) however when I put the key in its place where it sits, it charges so uh unsure help pls

[@Kellybell2]

I love this channel, so helpful! Thank you so much!!

[@justinbuice]

+Kelly Dolgopol you're welcome!

[@justinclausen5934]

Hey man love your videos. You should do one on how to program your key fob or car? To open your windows with the fob. Mine is not working for some reason. Keep up the good work. You got my sub!

[@Turbofte]

Anthony Bizer thats cause beemer drivers are a better class of people : ) and he makes good videos too

[@justinbuice]

Thanks!

[@AvenNaidoo-qj4oh]

Does that work with all E90 320i, 2011 models as well as my dashboard comes up with the fob logo showing battery Pic. How would I know if it's comfort access or not?

[@justinbuice]

Comfort Access means you can unlock the door and start the car with the key in your pocket. Meaning you don't have to press the unlock button on the key, or insert the key into the dashboard to start the car.

[@AvenNaidoo-qj4oh]

@@justinbuice thank you. I see my fob is a sealed unit.

[@StevenWardNow]

Worked perfectly. Thank you!

[@Michmusicmore]

Thank you for sharing the video it helps me

Thanks man!

[@krishanjally]

Superb easy. Thanks alot for the video. Helped me alot..

[@beeeekman]

I have the E91 2006 with comfort acces. And we just replaced the battery but still no signal. Does it need to charge og be recodded ?

[@neilbv11]

Excellent video. Thank you

[@luisbrito0110]

Very simple, thanks man !

[@wickedjazor330]

Hey man, we got a "new" key from dealer when we bought our 2011 328xi. Intermittently the unlock button won't work, I try the lock and trunk button and both work. My other key then will also unlock the car when this is happening. Is this a low battery or does that button need replacing?

[@psgp298]

works perfect. thank you!

[@albankrasniqi1122]

Great informative video, thanks alot!

[@MMDPERFORMANCE]

maybe a silly question?? since the battery is being removed does the remote need to be reprogrammed? or is it just simple swap and go great video! You have so many that are quick helpful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@justinbuice]

+Mike Motorbike you don't have to reprogram. Just replace the battery and it's good

[@SouthNyanza]

How do you warm the engine of a BMW 320i E90??? Please help or do a video

[@juandontworryaboutit4150]

Turning on the engine and wait to warm up lol

[@zmarkiN]

It is possible to transform a non-comfort into a comfort access?

[@raycanales]

I put in three different batteries in my fob and sometimes the fob works and others it doesnt is there a sync i have to do ?

[@brianjohn2908]

Replaced my battery worked twice then died

[@juantorres142]

Link where did u get the battery from thanks

[@joelane4670]

You're always helpful..thanks.

[@majkellmtv]

Should i code the key when i switch the battery or everything will be working „plug n play” ?

[@justinbuice]

you don't have to do any coding. Just swap the battery

[@petrbartovsky410]

i have comfort access but no backplate on the keyfob anyone can help?

[@cleangal71]

Why can't I find the elusive little slot for prying it open?

[@roylim194]

Sir my key fob for e90 not same with your key. It is whole and cannot open the half.

[@MegaDw2010]

Do you have a video of you talking about the comfort access features on your BMW?

[@andrewdanniels2760]

Mine doesn't have a backplate it looks like. 2006 325i. Any recommendations for that?

[@justinbuice]

That means yours is the rechargeable version. If it's no longer holding a charge, you will need to have the key replaced by the dealership. Technically there is a way to break the seal on the key and solder in a new battery but most people just have it replaced.

[@andrewdanniels2760]

@@justinbuice Thanks so much for the reply! Do you know how the batteries are recharged? I have two sets of keys and noticed that one lost its charge over the winter while the car was parked. I'll price the dealership and watch a quick solder video to see if it's outside my technical capabilities lol Thanks again!

[@jonathanramirez232]

Great video, idk why im here, I can't afford a car, but I'd love to have a 335xi.

[@justinbuice]

Thanks! Maybe one day!

[@blueeyes2974]

What about the coding on thr key? Doesnt it loose it when you take the battery out?

[@justinbuice]

No need to code the key after replacing the battery.

[@blueeyes2974]

@@justinbuice turns out mine isnt one you can replace the battery.. i have to buy a new key..... not the news i wanted but nothing i can do 🤢🤕

[@ZenoBeatz]

So i got a 2006 bmw 325i and today i inserted the key and nothing happened ! it wouldnt turn on! :( any idea ?

[@crazygrk781]

thank u!!!! once my e90 comes body shop gonna change it.. was wondering why it won't unlock unless I'm really close to it

[@justinbuice]

that could be it. When the key fob battery gets really low, you will also get a reminder on your dashboard to replace it.

[@roblesinline6642]

Anyone recommend some good ob2 scanners to clear the codes when I replace something I don't like to drive all the way to the dealership just to reset a light

[@justinbuice]

This is the one I have amzn.to/2nREUsm it connects to Android devices via Bluetooth. Here is one for iOS devices amzn.to/2og7z6B

[@joelane4670]

Can one program a new key fob the self? And if so is there a video on this? Thanks .joe l

[@justinbuice]

+joe lane you will need to go to the dealership to have new keys programmed. They use special software to do this

[@joelane4670]

Yeah i pretty much thought that,their just soo darn high..I;ve heard theres other ways,but,don't wanna get stranded somewhere..lol..thanks!!.Keep the video coming..I just purchased a 2008 528i..Still learning..lol

[@zungukc]

Great vid.. hey my comfort access doesn't lock the car at times when walking away from the car. Is that due to battery being low?

[@justinbuice]

+Godfrey Fredrick it could be. But I've noticed that the range that it works isnt that great and i have to be pretty close to the car for it to lock

Justin, where can I find the coilovers or suspension like the one you have in your car.

[@justinbuice]

I have the H&R Sport lowering springs and I got them from tirerack.com

[@davisdegarbo]

My battery is fine but I want to replace it with an new one anyway. Will any of the settings be reset or changed? One more question, my other E90 has the rechargeable battery, why did BMW stop making this design?

[@justinbuice]

Changing the battery wont change any settings. Whether you have a rechargable battery or not depends on if you have Comfort Access or not. The rechargable key (which is standard) charges itself when you put it in the dashboard. But since with Comfort Access you never have to take the key out of your pocket, the rechargable key wouldn’t have worked

[@davisdegarbo]

@@justinbuice Thanks for the reply!!!

[@2TOKE69]

Thanx! 😃

Hey brother. Are you still providing videos on BMWs? I'll subscribe if so as I own a BMW x series SUV and could do with a support line lol 🙃✌️

I have the same shape key on 2005 1 Series and I had to cut the plastic all around, replace the battery and glue it back on using some superglue.:))

[@kpaul666]

I can't understand BMW philosophy - providing us 2 different key options: better one (for higher price=comfort access) and poor one when you really need to cut the key to replace the battery. Shame on you BMW! Shame on you!
