In fact, you can take ANY BMW keys that look like the ones below...if they are fully charged, they can be programmed to lock/unlock & arm/disarm your car (FZV/DWA)...even though they are from another BMW. But doing so will not allow that key to start your car (EWS). EWS is car & VIN specific...the transponder chip inside the key will only work with the car & VIN it was assigned as the car rolled off the assembly line.

TIP: KL R = ignition position 1

I'm confused....Does the bottom NOTE: section mean that I need to reinsert each key into the ignition IN ORDER of programming after doing the pushing button procedure to finalize them correctly? Like....right after pushing remote buttons to program....then put first key in...on then off... remove....second key in....on then off....remove...third key in....on then off...remove.....correct?
