German Engineering Keyless Entry

[TomSea999]

Just got my keys - only cut one to test, thanks to all of the warnings re: locksmiths, etc. - sure enough, it doesn't work in the ignition. I just removed the key and am using the fob as a remote, which will work for me, but if you are expecting to have the keys work, I'd go to the best locksmith you can find and have them cut the key. I think the stop-shoulder is the issue here, as the keys look identical (the one he cut that works and the GE key that doesn't) except for the stop shoulder. The blank key is narrower at the shoulder than the standard BMW keys. Other than that, install went smoothly and the instructions here and on other threads are great for installation guidelines.

Recently picked up a z3m roadster. Would you happen to know the wiring configuration for that?

The center is lock. The trunk button can be used for whatever. One guy hooked it up to his garage door opener remote

Does anyone know how do you hook this up to a garage door opener?

add me to the list for the flip style key blanks when they arrive ,these seem to be giving even the professional locksmiths issues , the new blanks are slightly narrower than the factory key at the base and so you cannot cut the stop shoulder into the base of the key so and that plus the fact that the second smaller rib is lower can cause the key blank to tip in the machine and not cut correctly which happened on my locksmiths first try (key would work in ign tumbler but only one way ,and not work in any door lock) so locksmith tried a different setup and got second to work (he almost wouldnt cut it till i told him i could get replacements) but since stop shoulder isnt there to stop key going into tumbler to far you have to be careful and play with the key as you turn it in tumblers. at least i have one sort of working ,now that locksmith knows issue he feels can do better on next set of blanks.

I wish I read this before trying to cut my keys this morning, one did not work at all, the second one was shoulder cut and worked one way but not the other then the same key did not work at all.

Going to order new blanks and try again.

Put me on the list for blanks as well. Device arrived quickly and works like it should but my locksmith also had some trouble and miscut one of the keys.

Its the opposite of low quality actually, our keys are made of steel vs aluminum, the places I went to were nice enough to tell me they couldn't do it because it requires a different tool. So be sure they can cut steel when looking for a locksmith or just go to a dealership.

Have anymore e30 blanks?
Got the kit installed and works great.

Went to a lock smith to have the keys cut and he messed up both of them. Neither works.
Blamed it on the metal being low quality?

If you don't have anymore blanks can you please PM your source for them?

I am in the same boat. My locksmith destroyed my two key blanks and said it was because the metal was too hard. I pm'd you a couple of days ago. Please let me know where I can get some key blanks. I will gladly pay.
