Key is now cut, thanks

Went to SS2 today to cut my key, indeed the locksmith shop in one of the bungalow has the machine to do it. Thanks bro Pussy for the heads up.

The guy cutting it. By the looks of the machine I believe its also capable of cutting the 'snake' cut in some other type of diamond key.

Key after it has been cut. Hope it can start my car, haven't tried yet but the remote does work.

Detail of the locksmith:

DEXTROUS Enterprise Sdn. Bhd.
No. 60, Jalan SS2/24, 47300 PJ.

Tel: 03-78777569/70776566

Cut key only RM30. I don't see any BMW keys in the shop so you have to bring your own.
 
the new cut key does work in my car. starts first time. now using it in my car to charge it up as it has been idle for a while.
 
Just to share, if anybody needs to get the Panasonic VL rechargeable battery for their diamond key, there's a place called RS in Glenmarie. You have to order online. I got mine for something like RM20. But haven't replaced it yet. Can't find anybody to do it for me.
 
Hi guys,

since we at the topic...

how do i remove key from the little pouch?

i want to change new one but dunno how to remove it...

thanks
 
Just some info to share here, to determine on ur frequency, just open the c-pillar cover on the right side, and look carefully at the antenna module. it does state the frequency, as well as the part number.
 
Now that I know which machine they use to cut the diamond keys, I saw a lot of key cutter have that machine. Quite easy to find. Looks exactly like the photo above.

Hi All,

Riding on this thread as well. I think I have the famous melting rubber key. Mine is a 318CI Jap Spec yr 2000. The key is similar to the type C ones. Presume that is battery operated? Anyone knows where I can get a new set of those remote? The remote is in quite a bad shape now. If anyone knows there to get, please let me know.

U can just changing the rubber. Ebay is a good place to source the rubber or key shell.

haywire, some BMW key are cut on the outside like type "C". This can be done any locksmith shop.

Type "D" required laser cutting, I was told. Try PM Alex5522. I know he have duplicate a key before.

bro jarance,

mine's Japan spec (photo A), and wants to change to (photo D)...

any place in KL can change the key & set the frequency so that "diamond shape" workable for all aspects (lock/unlock/open rear boot)?

thank you.

Ask bro Pussy, I think he changed his key cover to look close to the diamond shape key.

Hi guys and Eagle Locksmith,
Just a quick question..my E60 key (like the type D), the remote function to close/open the door is not functioning..some said that i need to drive the car around with the respective key and let it recharged. I did that, and still the remote key is not functioning. However, i have no problem to start the car from the key.
Do i need to change the battery? if yes, anyone selling it and for how much..?
Thanks in advance..
