2001 BMW X5 Remote Head Key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional
A guy out in Hobson Park picked up a used 2001 BMW X5 from a private seller. Clean truck, ran well, came with one key. The seller told him getting a spare was easy. He found out fast that wasn't true.
He called a dealer first. They quoted him a number that made him set the phone down for a second. Then he started Googling and found out BMW dealers routinely charge that kind of money because the job involves programming to the immobilizer, not just cutting a blade. He didn't know any of that going in.
He called me after reading around. I told him I could come to him in Hobson Park, and I did.
The X5 had the original remote head key, three buttons, the fob with the factory ID printed on the back. I verified the VIN, checked his paperwork, and got to work. Since he still had one functioning key, I was doing an add-a-key, not a full all-keys-lost job. That distinction matters a lot on a BMW, because all-keys-lost on these requires deeper module work and takes longer. Having that one working key in hand kept the job clean and quick.
I cut the new blade to match the lock, programmed the transponder and synced the remote in a single visit. Both keys worked before I packed up.
He mentioned the dealer quote again while I was closing the case. I just told him what I tell everyone: the dealer price on a BMW key job is real, it's not inflated, it reflects what the job actually involves. I just don't have their overhead. He saved a good chunk and left with two working keys instead of one.

What certified service looks like in reviews
“I had two Subaru key fobs made and Marco provided excellent service. He stayed persistent through multiple part orders to make sure everything was correct. Very thorough, punctual, and great communication throughout.”
“Tim went above and beyond. I struggled all day trying to program a new FOB and nothing worked. Tim helped me patiently, even recommending cheaper options since I was on a tight budget. He eventually came all the way to Ojai late at night and fixed everything.”
“My key fob stopped working while I was at Oxnard Harbor and I thought I was going to need a tow. EZ Car Keyz showed up fast, programmed a new fob, checked everything carefully, and made sure the car was fully functional before leaving.”
