BMW Alarm problem

[Tony777]

Hi all, I have a Problem. My wonderful wife has lost the keys to her E34 525 td and I need to know if I was to get another remote alarm blipper fob thing from Ebay, how can I get the alarm to recognise the new one. I have disabled the alarm at the moment so she can drive it with the spare key. Has anybody got any ideas how I can get this sorted out?

You`re going to have to bite the bullet and buy key from dealer and get them to code it.It may be cheaper to get a new alarm fitted.Some specialists can do this(original key) but not many, do Not buy that key on E Bay, if its already coded its only good for stirring tea.We have a specialist in Southampton called Hartley who may be able to help.

Look in the owners manual on whether you can reprogram alarm system to recognize new key fob.

Is it factory or aftermarket alarm?

I think it's a factory fitted one as it has BMW part number on the side of it.
