If U've had the keys cut there, it should be done 2 free. It litterally takes them 30 seconds. I just had one done last week cuz i lost my spare and ordered a new one. I picked it up Friday it was turning ignition on but wouldn't open or close the doors. I went back monday and they did it while I was sitting in the car. I honestly wasn't paying attention (sorry) but it was a matter of seconds turning the ignition on and off.
Go talk to your service advisor.

Key Activation
I should have said I just purchased the X5 used. Looks like the original owner never had the keys activated either becuase they don't do anything. The service advisor did say it was more than a two minute job.

Guess I'm lucky because my dealer didn't charge me anything to set my 4 keys (M3 and X5).

This is a courtesy that every dealer should offer, go to another one but if you spent one dollar 4 this, it means they F&2...ck over, just my .02 cents.

This is normal for the dealership to charge for this service (Car Key Memory). You get one free program when you purchase the car and that is it.

I was at the dealer last friday and had a new spare key sent to me because the other dealer gave me the wrong set of spares...
the lady SA just sat in my car closed the door turned ignition to 1 then turned off , pressed buttons on the spare and every button works within less than 30 seconds she did that. I actually printed this: http://www.xoutpost.com/articles/x5/e...ob-bmw-x5.html just to make sure if they gave me problems and won't do it for free but they did so I didn't have to program it myself.
