| 1439953 | 2017-10-01 22:37:00 | I would just get a conventional key as a spare so that you can get by and only buy the $440 one if you lose your existing one. Get all the specs for the programmed key you need in case it happens, but you will never ever lose it because your brain knows it will hurt you with $440 Your conventional key will not start the car. You could hide the original key and issue each user with a conventional key to gain access. |

| 1439954 | 2017-10-02 16:34:00 | Pretty much the case with most cars, not just BMWs . Another turkey car (turkey in US jargon is a negative term) is a certain vintage Volvo . They have a hand grenade of a transmission that explodes at exactly 19,662 miles . Every time . Exactly . The transmission is so tied into the three computers in the vehicle, that exactly-the-same transmission is the only option . FWIW --- many chipped keys are just a set value resister that the ECM reads to qualify the security system to either arm or sleep . BUT there ARE keys the use an RFD or RFI resonant "chip" that seeks only a correct digital harmonic to activate the ECM . I wonder though if your Bummer has a VALET KEY that is unchipped and won't allow the vehicle over 30 MPH and denies use of AC, sound system, etc, for VALET parking only . An unchipped KEY - although not your need or choice right now, is something about which to know . |

Yeah the only key I have is the original chipped key, which is the reason for this post in the first place. |
