immobiliser

Hi, we have come across an issue when attempting a later style key re programme and wondered if anybody might have any info they could share. Our keys (inc 1 brand new from BMW) would not lock or unlock our 2001 Z3 remotely so the key was used in the door lock and all worked ok. When we...

Hi since I've been off work a lot lately I'm concerned that the immobiliser might be running the battery flat. In three years of owning the car I've had no power issues, is it safe to say that the car can sit for a month and still start up or should I Turn the immobiliser off?

Hi all, I'm an E38 newbie so forgive any silly Qs please. The car is a 1994/M 730i. One of the first of the E38s. When you unlock the car using the fob you can start the engine no problem. If you unlock the car and leave it for a while without starting you get "timed out". The immobiliser arms...

Hi All, I've had a problem with my E92 330d BMW 2007 where by both Key Fobs have stopped unlocking the car doors. I can open the drivers door using the key but this will set the alarm off, until fob is slotted in. None of the other 3 doors and fuel filler will open and remain locked. Strangely...
