90 Or 180 degrees?
I ordered 90 degree gif e60 525i

Congratulations to BMW for making a key that’s almost impossible to replace the battery 👏👏👏
This is one way of making money after you purchase the car
Its a rechargeable battery, so don't rush to blame such a great company.
@@crisshsk9260 how do you recharge it?
@@kungpug5406 I'd like to know that too🤔👍
@@kungpug5406 It recharges when it is inserted in your car ignition slot (apparently). After some 10 years, it may stop recharging, in which case there seems to be no other solutions than to break the key in half, which I am too scare to do. So overall I agree, it is smart that it recharges in the ignition slot, but still they could have made it easier to open.
I just went through this and can say it works just fine. I did have a couple of snags though that i want to share with viewers.
1- Yes, the replacement battery had longer leads which I cut short but still the battery was not perfectly flush on the board like the original and hence the two halves of the shell did not come together perfectly. For that, you can use the blade to shave off the three little prong-like pieces in the cover where the battery sits and that will take care of it.
2- The lock/unlock function worked right away as I tested it before gluing the two halves back together however the fob would not click into the slot in the dash or operate the ignition. It's nothing to do with the shell. The reason was, which is what I want to highlight here, that the one chip on the board (top of the battery side) was not connected on the one end. The solder broke. Took me some time to finally figure it out. Once I welded it back all was good.
Notes: you don't need much Super glue so don't apply directly from bottle but rather use a small screw driver to apply to the edges of the shell of the fob.
When the fob didn't work in the slot I thought I ruined it so I bought a shell from Amazon. That didn't work either till I fixed the loose chip. Apart from not having the BMW logo that Amazon shell looks great and is very good quality.
If you are careful splitting the OEM fob and gluing it back you should be just fine.
I'm having this issue... what exactly did you do?
@@antoniagladden8501you mean the issue of the remote locking and unlocking the doors but the FOB not clicking in the slot and hence not starting the car?
If so, the problem is that the long black chip you see at 6:21 (above the battery) is loose, or not soldered properly. Make sure to solder it back and you'll be back in business. Don't use too much solder that you make unwanted contacts. If you do then the lock/unlock function will stop working.
Hope this helps.
Followed your instructions, never soldered before and the key works again with no issues. Thank you!
Nice clear video for replacing the battery on my 2011 328i. Thanks. The legs on the replacement battery were a bit long, just snipped them off after finished sodering.
Thanks. I was a little apprehensive about cutting with a blade but I worked it gently and slowly and eventually it came apart and the battery is now off. Greatly appreciated.
You just saved me over $300. Thank you!!!
I sat down with my new DIY soldering iron and followed this guide, spot on, thank you so much! 🙌
what did you set the temp of the soldering iron to? Working through this right now
@@holdenellis687 I put it on max, it is a cheap DIY one though I have so isn't great.
I pried the battery out without soldering and it off and it has worked fine now for 5 years!!!
Care to give some step by step instructions on how you managed to do this ?
id also like sum step by step instructions
Followed instructions on 2009 325i saloon thank you worked a treat.... really appreciate the video!
Súper helpful video. Thank you!
Thanks. Very helpful!!!!
Thx so much m8 for help!
Cheers from Poland 🇵🇱 🍻
Thanks for sharing, much appreciated 🙏🏾
it worked your a miracle worker
Thank you very much mate 🙏🏼 Just managed to do mine today! The battery went kaput after 18 yrs of use of the Car ( it was a spare battery, seldom used). Test driven the car w the new key, OK 👌🏼
To Cut it out is especially difficult, its hard plastic, need sharp cutters, careful w fingers ! The L cover of the antenna, a small piece fell off.
I seldom solder, so this is a rare skill for me, and I dont have the sucking pump, so its dangerous in case the solder melts into other nearby circuits.
I bought the battery online ( cheap, RM30/-) BUT it had different legs, not the winding G ones but straight down, but Winged, so it wont fully fit into the hole ! So i need to shave some plastics inside, otherwise the cover wont close tight fit.
Lastly, i would glue back the two parts using 2 part epoxy and the L piece back.
All the time I was Cursing, Who was the Bloody Stupid BMW Engineer who made our lives Miserable by owning the car. Why did they make the key Fob Sealed ? Bloody Idiots. I have several other cars, they always have openable part to replace the battery.
Merci !! Very good Stuff!! Je m'abonne !
Wow a lot of work 4 me thank you
Great video! Did you use any type of soldering paste or flux?
What temp did you have the tool set?
Man thanks ! ♥
Excellent!
So bmw starts sometime but not always but once it's started I can start agian over and over for awhile but if I don't start it agian for while it won't start. With the battier in the key fob not alow the car to start then? So if I change the battier the car will start everytime them?
hi mate...how to indentify what is Comfort access or non Comfort access and Battery series number for my car? my car was e90 320d 2011..?
Good video
After battery replacement the close button isn't working anymore. Any suggestions?
Thank you very much my friend can u share that soldering kit you have please so i can get one
Sweet I have comfort access & didn’t even know it!
is solder wick ok to use for desoldering?
Excellent
thanks a lot
Can you add the link from where you bought the battery?
Also can i get a comfort key fob and work with a car that didnt have a comfort key fob.
Instructions here worked out great for me. I have no experience soldering, and replaced the batteries on both my key fobs. I recommend getting a new case instead of reusing the old one.
Can you recommend where to order a new case?

What’s the case phillip
I used these: www.amazon.com/dp/B07CNXQNVR/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_fabc_JXMYP9A94HBNNG5CMH3R?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
No bull👏🏾👏🏾
Will the key fob need to be reprogrammed? It’s the key fob I’ve always used on the car.
What battery is in the fob?
This is insane, I can’t just drop a new battery in
It's ridiculous! 🙄
The Non-Comfort fob battery recharges when in use. If your spare fob battery died, it might just need a 3 hour recharge.
These batteries are almost all over ten years. They don't hold charges anymore
@@cmfo801 The battery recharges itself when you're driving. If the fob is seldom used, and the battery dies, it will need a several hr. trip to recharge. It worked on my 2011 BMW. Hopefully it will work for you.
used my spare recently on a 2006 e90. immediately low battery warning on the car. but after using it for a few days that's fine now.. so yeah it just needed to have recharge time since this spare was never used.
Does CR 2025 fit in.?
Thanks for this video; it's very helpful. ...and this is why the last new car I bought was NOT a BMW. It's a whole new level of aholeyness to require solder for a battery replacement. (I just replaced the battery on my 2020 acura. It took 3 minutes. It's a $1 battery.)
On F 30 line it's pretty simple to do.
I did this and now my car won’t start it’s a bmw 328i 07 if anyone knows how to reprogram it please lmk !
Will this fix if the key doesn’t start the car?
After changing the soldered battery, do you need to initialize/program the key for it to work or does it work right away without any other effort?
did u figure this out?
@@BreyerWhiteI don’t think he did
Could I mess something up by doing this
cool to this point, it would have been complete with showing that it starts your car and also explain if the battery already has a charge or do you have to leave it in the car for initial charging.
Was the remote control still working properly after replacing the battery? There were no problems with starting the car or opening the door from the remote control? I heard that when replacing the battery in the BMW remote control, you should provide an external power supply so as not to decode and unprogram the remote.
Mine didn't have any issues. All buttons working and car starting as usual with no problems.
my key randomly stopped working, it doesn’t unlock anything, even putting it in the car no lights will come on, but the car itself, the hazards will come on n the separate key to put in the door works, and the buttons inside the car. so i opened the key and the circuit board smells burnt and actually is browning… my trunk button is sunken in and brown at the back. i didn’t drop it so idek what’s happening
could you replace only the battery if you wanted? Why do you need to change a rechargable battery?
Because that's how it's made .. worm 😂..
Do we have reprogram the key after the new battery is mount ?
Hi Ravenzero
Were your lock and unlock buttons working after battery change. Did your key sync with the car after battery replacement.
Did your key work after ?
My key didn’t turn on the car does anyone know how to fix that
mine is 06 Non-Comfort Access Key , and didn't need to reprogram after solder the new battery on.
I did this but my unlock button no longer works, locks and trunk opens just just fine. I must have gotten some solder where I shouldn’t have or something :/
Your key may need dash configuration as mine does now after the battery change.
After changing the battery I am no longer able to lock and unlock my BMW 1 series using the key fob. Car starts however if I place the fob into the dash. Any idea what to do?
check fuse
Google "how to reprogram bmw key". It's pretty simple, just involves a sequence of inserting the key in the ignition and pressing buttons on the key.
You have missed the hard part showing how practically it can split.
A component has gone bad for me. Can someone tell me which component is between the battery and the transponder? Just above the quartz, in the middle of the board. Just need to know what it says.
Also, how do I change the language on my 2006 325i? Please help!
This one made me laugh can’t lie😂
Hi there, can anyone recommend where I can get this done in UK? I'm trying everywhere and I'm not confident enough to do this
I am in the UK and i just did mine. What part of the uk are you
can you update your link so i can make sure i buy the correct battery please
(A year later) The battery is a vl2020.
What the number ofvthe battery?
The key lock button does not work. lock and trunk release buttons work
Making the key like this should be illegal
After replacing the battery will I need to reprogram the key?
My same question
@@mtbridingog9083 No you don't, it's just a simple passive component replacement
I did this and now I think I need to reprogram does anyone know how
@@OG_RAFA4 did you make sure your new solder didn't touch any of the others? If it has done that, you may need a new key completely
Do you have to solder?
Could you not just put it in the points and leave it?
Nah it will move around to much causing a incomplete circuit sometimes
I have a 2010 750li xdrive bmw and need to replace the battery in my key fob
I just bought new battery and case. Cheap enough to just dump the old housing.
You should have add a video clip showing people it is working with the new battery you replaced.
Damn! I got weld in order to replace my battery ?! lol
How to close again?i need to buy super glue?
on 2011 328i - will you get a warning to replace these batteries.? I don't problem when too close the car, but doesn't work from far., could this battery or something else.? What is an acceptable range for 2011 328i for key fob to work from ..? 12-15 fts or about 25 fts and more.?
Idk about the range and i have an 07 328i and the warning light popped up recently
why is BMW that stupid on design their remote key....
Ist not supid, its just making money, oficaly you need to go to bmw and buy a new key
Stupid? These batteries last 15-20 years. They're doing something right.
@@DiscoFang Same. My batt was an 08. Finally died. 13 years not bad. The engine battery also original 08. Lasted 10 years.
@@mhks68 Yeah the BMW battery management system definitely works. Back in 2018 I bought a 2005 E61. The battery was the original, dated 05 on the terminal - lasted 13 years.
@@DiscoFang My next door neighbor found my BMW key fob and returned it directly to us...we barely know him. Could he have stole it??
Hi I did all this but the keyfob still does not unlock or lock my vehicle. Its a 2008 bmw x5. Any help? Any specific fuse I should check? Maybe the battery isn’t getting any charge. Any help is appreciated.
Hi Danz, I got into the same situation too. Did you solve your problem. Please share the details if so.
@@jeffinjosey1919 I have the same problem too
Im ordering another battery just in case my replacement was bad. Il let you know. Could be the antenna in the trunk? Maybe a faulty keyfob? Unfortunately i only have 1 keyfob no spare.
@@danzgarage843 I noticed if I quickly tap the unlock and lock buttons it sometimes works. So it might be a faulty keyfob. I dont get the low battery error.
@@Alex13mod
Just check the fuse for the key fob and antenna in the glove box compartment. Make sure they aren't blown.
Thank you for showing the replacement method, but it is really not a convenient key that BMO has made
Hey BMW, I have a crazy idea: use a normal battery!
Thanks for this. I managed to change the battery for my E92. I found the 'legs' of the new battery slightly too long to fit inside the battery compartment. This resulted in the fit being bad. So, I've got to unsolder it, somehow trim the legs and re--attach. Hope this helps someone.
I tried this but fob still didn't work ?!?!
Why bmw make this so complicated?
Wtf. Grrrrr bmw
Does it lose the coding?
Why would it lose that?
dude, where is your mic at? i hear only bubu-bububu, but thanks, all i need is to see how to open that thing
I think that's your audio, I heard him just fine
@@Astralkiller47 Odd. No audio on this end either...
Audio is only on the LH channel. If you're not hearing it you have a headphone or audio wiring issue at your end.
The biggest bullcrap invention ever to take your car for service and even to replace on from dealer they want over $250 here in Canada. And it's not a normal battery replacement. My mom towed her car for this crap too.
Mine didn’t wokr
How does it get charged? Would it be the charging mechanism not working? If so, a new fob will soon die.
When a key has been sitting for too long, it will get discharged. Would recharging usually save it or battery would no longer be rechargeable like a 12V car battery? Yes, stupid BMW design yet programming these CAS key is not easy (special equipment) even the key itself on ebay is cheap (and battery replaceable.)
This is not a CAS key. The CAS key is not rechargeable for the reason that it doesn't ever get inserted into the dash, where these non-CAS keys are charged.
No, not stupid BMW design, extremely clever and durable BMW design These batteries last 15-20 years.
I cleaned the key glue with some alcohol
BMW in Australia quoted $488.00 for a replacement key...............................wow
High tech keys lol
Well, they actually are indeed very high tech both with the recharging, the vehicle data recording on the key and the security of the design. There were only ever 10 security chips made for each and every BMW when it was manufactured. You get 2 with the car and the remaining 8 are available to order if you lose or break one. That's why they are near on impossible to duplicate or crack.
I bought a car, needed a 2nd key and the local dealer looked the car up and said there were 6 left. The previous owner must've lost a couple. Now there are 5.
bought the battery did not work and it looks completely different to the one you are replacing with on the video
Does the key have to be reprogramed after changing
After I did this my car wouldn’t start did you reprogram yours ???
I'm unable to lock and unlock the car after the battery change. Do I need to reprogram it? Any advice?
reprogram not needed in my case.
Gotta do all this shit juz to replacement the battery 😡😡
Did everything you did.. key not working ?
Same did you figure it out please lmk thanks!
If the battery is bad, will it show up on my instrument cluster that it needs replacement?
I have a 2010 750li Xdrive
My key fob battery on my instrument said my battery in my key need to be changed
@@vincentstallion6720 is it a comfort access? Mine doesn't have that feature
Is for BMW buy another key everytime runs battery out, so no one going to do this procedure, at least not me.
BMW always looking for an angle to make more money. This time deliberately making it near impossible to replace a battery unless you pay them to do. I have owned 4 BMWs. The story is always the same. Incredibly expensive parts and typically poor assembly especially the 3 series. Never again will I buy a BMW. Best to stick with Japanese made cars. Reasonably priced. Well built and very reliable.
Why would they even make a non comfort accesss wtf is wrong with engineers bmw talking bout it’s gonna take 2 days for the remote to come in I need my car now
Not OEM approved
Wtf bmw
What a bunch of B.S. - I can't believe all that to change a fob battery! BMTroubleyou.
How ridiculous!
Stupid design , they should make all Comfort access even for recharge ones if battery goes wrong. Thx
What is the point of all this complexity?!!!!!!!🤖😖
What bloody shambles of a key fob.
