    One of my switchblade fobs broke due to the hinge point wearing out, so I ordered a e46 key setup from the website and it was delivered today.

    Unfortunately the key blanks used in the switchblade fob vs the e46 style are not the same, so I can't transplant my old key blade. Need to cut new keys, swap in the new brain and back in business!

        That's unfortunate. I wanted the switchblade version myself...maybe I'll go E46 style. So many good choices to make.

          Anyone know why mine isn't working? All hooked up as it should be. When I push the button the sensor just clicks and nothing happens.


          Edit: figured it out. However I can't find the damn directional light wires.

            I hate not listening to my guy instincts and I let a different guy at the locksmith cut the blanks and they don't work. Should have waited for the other guy.

            Now I'm in need of replacement blanks for the e46 style fob, so anyone know where to get some?

              Is his website down or is it just me? NVM it works. Let me know when you have them in stock.

                well fast forward a couple months, never used the keyless entry, somehow batteries were dead, replaced them, now it will only unlock my car and not lock it. wtf.

                    Check your "lock" connection.

                      both of my switchblades are already broken after few months of use and i requested a new key blank years ago (was told they would be available due to so many cutting issues) and havent seen any movement on replacements . not very good

                      originally tried the E46 fob version but hated how big it is in pocket with key sticking out impaling you ....which is why i switched to switchblade style guess that wasnt best idea either

                        Bad service....

                        Ordered a kit a few days ago, no response as far as a confirmation except for the automated one from PayPal, hoping for something within a couple days otherwise I'll be requesting a full refund from PayPal

                          What is the point of having one brown wire attach to grey/white and one connect to grey/yellow? could I just use one brown wire and split at the end to power both the grey/white and grey/yellow? (Is one power and one ground?)

                          The reason I ask is that I set mine up in the trunk and pre-ran only one wire all the way up to the front of the car. Don't want to have to take everything apart again if I don't have to.

                          Edit: Never mind, ended up just running two wires up to the front and it works as it should!

                              I couldn't get replacement e46 key blanks so I ended up just using the fobs with a standard BMW key.

                                I stopped checking r3v a while ago. I think I have a couple e46 blades laying around if you still need them.
