[e60] key stopped working ..help needed
hi guys,
suddenly, my master key stopped working (dropped keys on the floor), all seem to be ok, mean arms and disarms alarm, unlocking doors and boot but won't start the car ... when in ignition slot and turned to position 1 or 2 dash doesn't light up.
Battery is ok as tried with Mick new one without joy ..
any ideas how to fix it or how much will cost new one.
thanks in advance
kris

Sounds like the transponder chip has broke did the key smash open ?
RE: [e60] key stopped working ..help needed

Best open it up and have look whats going on inside which key is it the diamond shape one is it ?
RE: [e60] key stopped working ..help needed
its diamond shape, mate
inside all looks ok ..remote is working as usual only immobiliser part not :(
to make it even worst, spare key doesn't disarm alarm ...strange

Thats a doozy man , not sure where to go from here that chip can only ne written on once so recoding it is out if the question and if the transponder is still attached to the board then it just sounds like its shot :-(

The lights should surely come on though, did the e60 not come with the wallet key and valet key?
