BMW UK & Europe delivered vehicle compatible ID46 CAS2 868 MHz remote key

This product has been temporarily removed from sale as direct result of the Consumer Goods (Products Containing Button/Coin Batteries) Safety Standard 2020 which becomes enforceable on 22nd June 2022 and carries fines of up to $1million. 

All products that contain a button cell or coin type battery must be safety tested to confirm they comply with these new regulations. All button cell batteries must be in a new type of packaging with new labels. 

We are working with all of our suppliers to confirm this compliance before we make the product available for sale again. 

We should have had 18 months to get this compliance but sadly the ACCC did not inform our suppliers or us or pretty much any other industry and we only found out about this new law 4 weeks ago.

Please feel free to email us with the details of what you were looking for and we will give you an update on when we expect it to be back available for sale.

Many of the BMW keys which look the same as this one will be for EWS based immobiliser systems and so are not compatible with this key. 

Check the VIN sticker on your vehicle carefully. If it says PERSONALLY IMPORTED VEHICLE then your key will not match Australian models. 

Next check the back of your key, if you can still read the details see if it says 868 MHz.

Next pop into our workshop and we can scan your key to confirm if it is using and EWS chip of an ID46 chip.

We can cut and program this key for you and will need your car in the workshop for appox 45-60 minutes to complete the job. YOu can book an appointment by calling us on (08) 6110 2693.

It is important to note that the genuine BMW keys are sealed and the battery in them is rechargable so it cannot be replaced. This aftermarket version has a standard CR2032 battery which can be replaced.
