They'll need to update/upgrade the screen and responsiveness before I would even think about paying that much.
Exactly.
Yeah the lag is too much and i wouldnt use it unless they fix that so its smooth and quick
Agreed...and add the physical key.
if u dont wanna pay that much, just go to aliexpress and buy it for 75 bucks. I don't know why they sell it for 300$
Yup
This will be good in 5 years
Honestly the only negative to me of that key fob is that it doesn’t have the backup physical key inside of it especially since it has to constantly be charged but it’s good that even after the battery dies, the comfort unlock will still work for almost a year.
key fob is dope! wish i had comfort access for my e90 🤣
Same😂 for the first time I’m bummed my car doesn’t have that I’ve never cared for it till now 😭
I was so excited to upgrade my n54 335 to a cool fob but bought an X3M this summer instead and I’m excited for just the wrist band access. Lol
Is there a solution for those of us that want to add “proximity” access but keep the OEM key ? (E9X)
Great video.
How did you program the key fob to your car though?
They should add in
Remote start for comfort access cars
Check control messages like the i8
Yes, with ac on and windows down. Or heater on... also an option to program if you have a cutout exhaust with an electric switch.
Do the physical buttons work even after the screen dies ? If not seems pointless
Any idea what's the bmw triple lock and obd reset on the hardware section?
Question, is it bright enough so that you can see the screen while outside? please let me know.
I have a 2002 bmw 325ci coupe and want to upgrade my key fob. What options do I have?
2018 750li has the same systems. Nice toy to have.
If you have remote start on your build. Can this remote work?
Can you program it to open and close the cutout exhaust?
Planning on getting a bmw as a first car and to build on my channel. Any suggestions?
Any n54 car will provide a ton of content due to it always needing things fixed and maintenance alone will provide content for a few videos. I'd stay away from it as a first car though because it's a lot of power for someone without experience with rwd, a 128i will provide an amazing driving experience though because it's a fairly powerful naturally aspirated inline six in the last analog chassis bmw ever made, and once you max it out you can move onto a 135i.
At the end of the day it’s just a reshaped Android, sometimes too much is bad, simple is key, a regular key fob does it’s job
Nice vid bri
ive got the e92 and the windows do the up and down with the key but i dont have access on my door handle so idk if itll work.
Key updating us with these videos
Can you remote start from the digital key fob?
Is there any good ones for a 2006 BMW Z4
Does this digital key work with the G87 M2?
I got lucky that my SHO came with 3 Key Fobs regardless of being a push button start. Another great follow up video Cristian and thank you for sharing this information with us. Best wishes brother! 👊
Do they allow for remote start?
Hey bro, is it working on e60 LCI?
Can you find out if they can do this for Benz
Wish the non digital key had the comfort like access
Does it also works for bmw f20 2016?
Drop test it
Damn my E90 doesn't have comfort access. I just need a key fob to lock and unlock as my factory one has taken a crap and I have to use the physical key. Thankfully I can still use it in the ignition. Any suggestions?
Simply purchase a new key fob (same as you have now) and a local lock smith or person that codes/programs can set it up with your vehicle.
Do I need to send in my original key fob? How do they program it to my car if not? I was about to buy and check out but I wanted to make sure.. thanks
You send in your original key fob to them. I'd appreciate it if you used my link to purchase.
Can you get one of these for an e46 m3?
Where we can update the key or the logos ?
Would be really awesome if it could upgrade with a tracker, if you get highjacked
Wish it had remote start, even with comfort access on my f30 335xi it doesn't have remote start
I have an e90 and I have to put my key into the slot then press start button it won’t work here in Europe with my 2010 bmw
Very cool stuff, but the one thing that perplexes me is - why in the world is the PANIC button a 2 to 3 step process to get to? It's the PANIC button for pete's sake!! It should be a quick, easy to access, physical button that does not require scrolling through menus to get to. Hopefully a firmware upgrade will enable the ability to maybe long-press the trunk button to invoke PANIC functionality??? My F30 key has the PANIC button and there's been occasion where I've actually used it (in an actual panic) so I don't want to lose that quick physical functionality. Fix that and I'm in. It's a very cool device otherwise!
Do they ever response to their customers?
Nice.
anyway to use those features without the OBD dongle? I dont want to disconnect my MHD dongle just to use this
An OBD splitter/converter would work. I'm currently using one for my Jb4 and aftermarket steering wheel.
How do you update the key?
Wont work for me, I use the OBD port for my aux HUD, since my car didn't some with one.
Compatible with e46 m3?
Does the comfort access thing work for e90 and if you have the minimalist fob would it still work?
you can code the trunk to close it with the remote, that was the first thing i did with my F10!
How do you code it? I have a G02 and the remote does not close it. Heard its a north america thing.
@@oluwaseyimafi6779 i’m not sure about any of the X series models, my mothers F15 doesn’t have the option to close with the remote last i checked. I checked out some videos and forums for F10 coding possibilities and I used Bimmercode to do it
Where can I find one?
Does it work for E46 ? 03
It would be great if they could add range
The powerbutton is like that so you're pocket doesn't randomly press it
great content but some f30s do have comfort access just not yours
Well yeah. I know that.
I am always surprised by this type of sale. The product is sold at such a high price when with a little research it can be found at a ridiculous price. Of course, I will be told that it is not the same.
Just get a 540 luxury line they come stock:)
Is there a slot for the emergency metal key?
Nope not on that one which really sucks
yes, you can code the trunk to close
Do u need to leave the obd adapter on at all times?
No. Only if you want the proximity features.
@@VehicleVirals easy day thank you brother
We need more N55 footage
it works in germany with an f30 328ix 2013 without comfort acces?
Yes
Do you really have to plug in the OBD adapter? I have my JB4 plugged into that port.
You don't have to unless you want to use the proximity feature.
@@VehicleVirals Thank you! Much appreciated. I bought it a while back and still waiting for them to send it.
They definitely need to come up with a way to not have to use your OBD port
You can also get an OBD splitter/converter and run multiple things.
They probably do that with the power button so it doesn't accidentally get pressed in your pocket
So what does gates innovation actually do to these other than ordering from china and soldering a few wires? Same product online under 70$ just needs assembly?
Wow $55 for this exact same product on aliexpress including the obd proximity sensor. This is a ripoff, not a niche product.
I see, why he mark up so high.
This is like inventing the wheel but square, we all have keyless entry and start why would anyone that has this feature need this key as you never use the key anyways? And the proximity is stupid because if I park my car in my drive way and I go to my living room the car will never close or when you walk by the car it will keep closing and opening
Glad I saw this follow-up video...Thx for the honest feedback... NOT purchasing it...nope, not for a slow response like that
will this work for a 2020 supra? thank you
Use the link in description for information
@@VehicleVirals thanks im using your link but its asking me for the KEY FREQUENCY and dont know what the supra frequency is? what did you use for yours?
Why have the BMW logo using so much screen space. I would have preferred more icons on each screen. And needs a faster responding screen.
You see multiple brands bc this product is used for other companies under different brand names.
Yeah the screen delay is what made me not buy it no offense to you not your fault but $360 for a key to be slow isn’t worth it for me thanks for the video just got my first f30
I’ll buy it if they give me a setting to have the proximity thing only work on locking. I’ll use comfort access to unlock because there is 0 effort and this proximity to lock when I walk away. I don’t want this stupid thing to beep my car every time I walk past it. I have multiple cars next to each other.
Make sense to me
Where do you buy this?
Link in the description
You can get one off AliExpress for like 80 bucks
How much?🚗
Needs to work flawlessly for 300 bucks
Sold out! Out of business?
Hey, quick question, would this key work for e93?
Only if it has comfort access.
@@VehicleVirals ya I do have it, thanks for the update
The animations are pretty laggy IMO. If this is 275 to make it worth it maybe put 4 gm more ram for 10 bucks or slitely better chip/oled to make the screen look better and animation more smooth.
47€ at AliExpress exact Same key.
It is unfortunate that you are making these videos when you can find them online for $60-$75 instead of the $275 that you are promoting
He paid $275 for a $40 Chinese remote, the company orders them from china and up charge customer to transfer their stock key internal to the remote! Smh
Where would I find them for that price? I'd love to get one
Aren't these the same as the $45 AliExpress Chinese keys?
Yes
What about a E63 M6
If you have comfort access
I would pay more for the screen to not run at what, 5 fps? No buy for me
$43 on aliexpress. Same exact thing guys.
What if…. If you do have an e9x without comfort access…. you get ONE of those keys and use the other OEM one to start the car? I know I know, it removes the purpose of having an upgraded key fob but hey, it looks pretty right? Lmao
If only you could use your phone as a key fob.. oh wait
Is this an upgrade to your existing key or are you purchasing a new one
Existing
Me at a party. Yo y’all want to check out my key fob
$275 for a key fob that cost less than $50 on Ali ... 🚨🚨🚨
84 seconds to be able to steal your vehicle with this type of key. 👍
Why.
6:55 you can buy an Apple Watch brand new from Apple for $275 and the screen/refresh rate is 30x better than this key fob.
Hard to compare a mass produced product from a multi billion dollar company with this niche item.
@@VehicleVirals thats fair, but you can also look at the android smart watches which I know is also a multi billion dollar company. These key fobs are android tech and still way slower than the android watches. I think it’s just outdated tech with a high price tag.
@@AutomotiveCam then you don't have to worry about buying it.
@@AutomotiveCam you're correct and he's only vouching it so you use his affiliate link lmao
the exact same fob costs 60€ on aliexpress
Jesss
Bro you talk to much and repeating the same and you forgot
How did you program the key fbo to your car though?
To be fair if you already have comfort access on your e90 it’ just stays in your pocket anyway
50 bucks on aliexpress
This is a ripoff. They basically just buy an already made keyfob from ebay, put a M sticker on it and give you a braided charger and a custom box.
The one on ebay is $70.
"E90X" lol
😂
Not worth the cost for this tbh
That’s because it costs $55 on Ali express
Video is a year old however it's an absolute waster for the newer BMWs since digital key is right on your phone or wallet.
It's a nice keyfob but it's basically a over glorified, it more of a status symbol in my opinion
