Federation12 12 Report post Posted December 27, 2014 On a bench at work. On Christmas day. ...And it's already driving me insane. The buttons don't work now and I'm unlocking the doors from the inside. It's an early model E46 so it has the round bottom key, not the diamond shape - Is there options as to where to find and replace this or is it a dealer specific kind of issue?

Auzeras 28 Report post Posted January 2, 2015 Pull it apart and clean it well, what's the worst than can happen? It's already broke, can't get worse! Could just be residual moisture as said before. There's not much circuitry in them to get damaged, even if it was powered up whilst wet. Once you dry and clean it + replace battery it should be fine.

kiwi535 538 Report post Posted January 2, 2015 get a new key now i reckon so if the worst happens you have got a functioning key,but in meantime do as above.Sometimes those little screws are hard to get out so make sure you have the correct size screwdriver when you try Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
