BMW Key Replacement

BMW Key Replacement in San Jose: What to Know

BMW vehicles use several key styles depending on the year and model. Older models often relied on a remote head key or flip key with a built-in transponder chip, while many newer BMWs use a proximity smart key with push-to-start, letting you unlock and start the car with the fob in your pocket. Some keys also pair with comfort-access and remote functions. Because BMW relies on an electronic immobilizer that checks for an authorized chip before the engine will start, a replacement key has to be both cut to the lock and electronically programmed to the car.
