    Some people say wireless charging works. I’ve owned my car 8 years and it kept saying low battery. I cut it open and learned it was a nightmare so i put it back together and now it doesn’t say it’s dead haha. I’m going to try the wireless charger

    Dr. Dean, I only recently discovered your channel here, and I'm really learning a bunch from your videos. Thank you! I have a 2009 E82 135i that I'm keeping up and much of your content is very helpful. As I'm still using the original key fobs, I figure it's only a matter of time before I'll need to put what you've shown here to use. Would you mind recommending some links to where I might purchase the new replacement batteries and cases? Cheers!

  • @panczenPL

    In my e60 525d lci the button order goes like this:
    Top-unlock
    Middle-lock
    Bottom-trunk
    I've bought this car as preowned from first owner and now you made me wonder whether my fob with a different button order from the one you mention is a result of some unprofessional repair or software error? It works like that on both fobs.
    Thank you for showing how to change the battery 👍

    My car was telling me that my fob "needed recharging." I thought I would need to replace the battery. I talked to the Parts guy at a BMW dealership. He told me to put the fob on a wireless phone charger. I did so, for about 18 hours, and it worked! So, instead of performing surgery on your fob, try a recharge!

    I just pried mine off the metal clip and superglued the plastic case back together. It’s ghetto but it worked. I find the the plastic will hold the metal clip on the battery so there’s no need to solder it back.

    I just purchased a 2012 x3 with one working fob but the other one isn't recognized by the car until I hold it against the steering column, and then the car starts without issues. I replaced the battery (non rechargeable), and the issue remains the same. Can this be fixed, or do I need another fob?

    Dr. Dean is have a 2006 bmw e60, i opened mine and i changed the battery in my key. It would not open the doors originally but it would start the car. I measured the battery and the voltage was 1.28v so I purchased a new one installed and it still would not unlock the doors. I have a rke & rf monitor to see if it’s sending out a signal and it’s not receiving the signal from the key. What should I do?

    I have a funny feeling it’s the actual battery that you need to buy. The VL2020 has that fully rounded contact point for recharging, whereas the snide ones off eBay do not, and that’s why when you replace the battery, it works for 24hr then stops.
    Does anybody have this same issue ?? If so what’s the solution please - is it I need the VL2020 battery - tia

    I was fiddling around with a diagnostics tool on my phone (Bimmergeeks ProTool) and saw a live gauge thats called 'Cylinder Knock' with the unit 'V' for each cylinder.
    Do you know what it exactly means because I noticed that Cylinder 1 has more inconsistency to it compared to the other 3 cylinders?
    It's an n43 with 170hp if that helps.

    I bought an e90 and it came with a key that had already been opened. I was told that it just needed a new battery (and I assumed it was the original key fob). But, after replacing the vl2020 the fob still does not work for unlocking/locking nor the trunk. I have always been able to use the fob to start the car and had to use the cut key for entry into the car. I have tested the transponder board and it is receiving power from the new battery. I did try to do the methods found online to program the key with the car but had no luck. Do you have any idea whats going on and why it doesn't work? Any but of information and input would be greatly appreciated! Thanks. Marc
