Yup, it is that easy. It took a couple of blanks before I could make a key that would work in both the door and the ignition, so buy some blanks without the electronics, they are cheaper to ruin. The programming tool consists of two parts, the box you see in the picture plugs into your computer and programs the key remote itself. You just lay the key in the hole in the box and follow the software. The tool also includes a cable and connectors to program the chip in the security module. In a separate operation you have to remove the security module, open it up and place a special clamp type connector around the memory chip. Doing it this way gives you the ability to remove the 10 key limit that BMW says applies. Since you are actually flashing the security PROM directly you can reprogram key positions already used in memory instead of just adding new keys. Pretty Cool Huh?
