Need help!!! Lost key!!!

[tweiboon]

No need to do all this lar.. He has a valet key. His valet key can start the car and open his door. this mean that the DME and EWS are original. maybe can try to open the boot as well just to confirm.

Has valet key also not meaning the DME and EWS are original from that car. I have ordered valet key and make it to start the engine before. This is special request from my friend which i am not recommended. Who know his valet key is for other's car EWS ?

Salam bros,
Mine is the 320 2.2 2003 Japan Spec.. Saw earlier post when someone asked about recon car.. Can AB do the same and this applies with registering the car with AB to get duplicate key?
Same kapal with Bro Ibrahim Hanif.. Lost the 1 key ...

Thanks!

So ur key is 2 buttons or we call it IR remote key ? If really IR remote key then is very hard to find locksmith which has this key.

Hello to you too Mrizani.

Well to be honest when I spoken to AB Sungai Besi about it . The guy at the parts department

said to me , if a car is not purchase from them , they can still help and can be done

but they will have to ask the owner to come with the registrations card plus any other document if any

and the car need to register with them with a small fees to AB before they can do the key

for you... or you may go to the dealer you bought your car from.

Please get it done my friend as soon as you can and do it with who you can trust

for the safety of your car.

Take care and hope your problem will be settle.

Ya, I am now using my valet key. Can open the door manually and start the engine as usual. Jarance, u mean the valet key can open the boot?. Open with the key or the switch at below the driver's seat.

 

[Ibrahim Hanif]

You are right, bro. but there is a choice. TS still can drive the car with the valet.
He can get a duplicate key later when he is around KL area. However, it would not be cost effective just to drive up to KL to duplicate a key.

That is what i am concern. But if i'm going to KL and can solve this, i don't mind. AB is too costly for me.

Twieboon, how about the 3 button key?

Twieboon, how about the 3 button key?

If u looking for me i am sure u no need to worry about 3 or 2 buttons currently. I have 3 and 2 buttons keys currently. Valet key can plug into the boot lock to open the boot but is too dangerous due to boot lock might very tight and cause the valet key broken.

The reason i am not recommend my friend to do the key in AB are.

1. Expensive
2. Not disable the lost key for u.
3. Not backup EWS data for future use, eg EWS data corrupted or EWS board burned.
4. Need to submit police report and registration card.
5. Time consuming.

Of course, cannot lah.. Just testing to see whether people notice this. The valet key can ONLY open the driver door and can start the car.
It cannot open the boot lock and the glove compartment lock. This is the security design of the BMW. If you have something valuable in your boot, you can lock the boot with your normal key by turning the lock to horizontal position. This will disable the "boot switch open" inside the car. When you pass the valet key to the car jockey, they can park the car and lock the door manually but they will not be able to open the boot with the valet key.

Yes.. it is the IR remote key. As what Alby325i said.. better "kembali ke pangkal jalan" and get AB to sort this out...

1. Expensive - twice the price of replica key.
2. Not disable the lost key for u - this can easily be done by bmw scanner 1.4
3. Not backup EWS data for future use, eg EWS data corrupted or EWS board burned - TB i think i need your help to reload my EWS data. we talk further later.
4. Need to submit police report and registration card.
5. Time consuming.

bro TB, i think i have figured out what's wrong with my car. we shall meet and try several other options that i think necessary. do u still want to meet at puchong? i am scared of the flood. i have no insurance coverage fot that. haha.

A very Good Morning to you ....Mrizani and all

Yes my friend you are most welcome , its so happened that

I did lost my one key plus understand your feelings. May I say it was

simpler those days back in 90s we all can go to the lock smith to make a duplicate one.!!!

But i guess as the value are higher plus the tech lebih canggih , I guess they

have to design and protect the owner's saftey. Its took me not more then 30 min

with no registratian card and no police report only money that i need to pay

for my second key which is good cause i bought the care from them. As in your situation

Mrizani if you didn't buy from them, no worry too as I just spoken on your behalf ,

It can be done just bring along your registration card , cash or credit card !!! Hehe and with

a small fees to register your car ownership with them for safety purpose and

in the future you can always go back to them. Regarding stock no worry

too as they have so many branch plus order for you too. At the end of the day is all up to

to the car owner have to be wise and as for me sharing is caring towards

all my friends.... Tqvm

Take care and have a very good day to you and All.

Cheers

They have ready stock or ask u to wait 2 weeks or more send from German ?

 

[krsna86]

Guys, guess what. I got a random call from the previous owner of my car and he told me he found the valet key for my car while cleaning his room and will pass to me tomorrow. Haha was so happy..:rock:

 

[shiva73]

Dam... so much of complication . I m living with one key as well.. No vallet key whatsoever , imagine i lost it..

BTW , the last time i went to AB Sg Besi for something else , they asked me to register with them ( no prob ) but they wanted the AP copy as mine is Japan Recon , dammm. I walked out and sorted my issue somewhere else . My two cent.. better get the key duplicated before it get lost . Best of luck guys

 

[initialM]

few years back I order brand new key from AB JB for my ex E46 328 was about 1.2k if not mistaken. Took 2 weeks delivery from Germany

 

[Petrus]

I just ordered a duplicate key for myself from the BMW dealer here in Kota Kinabalu yesterday just for spare. It cost me RM880.00.

They told me price different for different models / chasis (That's what they said lah). Since I wanted a spare key, I didnt argue with them and just ordered. Have to wait arnd 3 weeks now.

 

[Ibrahim Hanif]

Yesterday met Twieboon and he successfully build me a new key. Nice to meet u Twieboon. TQVM for your time.
