2024 Smart Keyless Entry Remote Fob

Important Notice: The 2024 BMW X6 does not support onboard programming. Programming a smart key remote requires specialized diagnostic tools and must be completed by a certified technician or authorized dealer.

• Step 1: Identify whether you are replacing a lost remote or adding an additional one. All remotes may need to be reprogrammed during the same session to ensure proper functionality.
• Step 2: Schedule an appointment with a qualified technician or authorized dealer who has access to the appropriate BMW-compatible diagnostic equipment.
• Step 3: Take all working remotes with you. Any fobs not present at the time of programming may be erased from the system.
• Step 4: If the vehicle is operational, driving it to the service provider is often more affordable than requesting mobile service.
• Step 5: If no remotes are currently functional, be prepared to provide proof of ownership—such as your vehicle registration or title—before the technician can begin.
• Step 6: The technician will connect advanced diagnostic equipment to your vehicle’s onboard interface to access the smart key programming system.
• Step 7: The new remote will be securely paired with the vehicle’s control unit, activating access to door locks, ignition, and keyless entry features.
• Step 8: After programming, the technician will test all primary functions of the smart key, including lock/unlock, engine start, and proximity access.
• Step 9: Personally verify the smart key functionality to ensure that all features—including trunk release and panic alarm—operate as expected.
• Step 10: If programming more than one key fob, each must be added within the same session, typically within a 30-second window, to complete the process successfully.
