2021 BMW X4 Smart Key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional
He'd been traveling for work, parked at the short-term garage near the Palomar Airport corridor, and when he came back the X4 didn't respond to anything. Fob buttons, nothing. Held it against the door handle, nothing. He found the emergency blade inside the fob housing, got the door open manually, and tried holding the fob directly to the start button like he'd read somewhere. The dash lit up with a key-not-detected warning and wouldn't go further.
He called the dealer. First available appointment was Friday. It was Wednesday afternoon. A tow would have added a real chunk of money on top of that, and the car would've sat in a dealer lot until someone got to it. He found me instead.
I was there within 40 minutes. I pulled the door with the blade, got in, connected my diagnostic equipment to the OBD port, and read the key data out of the vehicle security system. His fob was still registered. The module knew exactly who it was. The issue was the internal rechargeable cell inside the fob had dropped far enough that the transponder side wasn't waking up reliably, and the weeks the key spent in a carry-on bag away from the car had drained it down. The replaceable battery was fine. It was the internal charge.
I ran a resync between the fob and the system, confirmed all four buttons, walked every door handle, verified the start sequence. Took about 45 minutes on-site. He drove home that evening. The car never moved from the space he'd pulled it into a week before.
He mentioned the dealer quote on the way out, mostly just processing how the day had gone. I told him to tuck a spare CR2032 in the glovebox anyway, even though that wasn't the failure this time.

What no-hassle service sounds like
“Tim is a hero. He programmed a master proximity key for a newer Volkswagen that multiple locksmiths refused to touch. He spent hours until late at night making sure every function worked perfectly. The skill level here is incredible.”
“Very professional and extremely affordable. The price was literally about three times cheaper than what my dealership quoted me. Fast service and no stress at all. Highly recommend.”
“A friend lost my Lexus key and he was able to program and cut a brand new one within 20 minutes. Arrived within about 40 minutes and was friendly, efficient, and quick.”
