OK, here is an odd one for all the experts. I have two keyless FOBs, one with the folding key snapped off. Actually done by a BMW dealer, go figure. So, I have ordered a replacement folding key for it from the nice people at A&S in the States. It will come all keyed to my VIN. Excellent! My question is, has anyone changed this folding part on a BMW FOB & if so, steps please? Part number is: REPAIR KIT KEY BIT - KEYLESS RIDE Part # 51 25 8 406 057 |

Zitat von Lee im Beitrag #2 Rosie has 2 fobs. The bike is only shipped with 1 fob. I deduced the dealer supplied a new fob rather than repair the existing one. |

OK, so here is how it works. I ordered a new replacement key section for the FOB from A & S Motorcycles which arrived today. It came with a pair of new roll pins that are less than 2mm diameter. I trapped the opening section in a small vice half way open to expose the pin & knocked it out with a 1 1/2mm pin punch. Levered out the broken section with a pair of very small jeweller's flat screw drivers & put the new key in with a new roll pin. Presto, it's all like new again. Not a big job. |

Zitat von Dave H im Beitrag #7Indeed. My own fob lives in a polythene (ie waterproof) bag in the pocket of my riding trousers, untouched, and I have a separate key ring with house/garage keys and a dumb bike key in my jacket pocket. Much better. KC100->CB100N->CB250RS--------->DL650AL2->R1200RS |

I replaced my key (thanks again Rosie), with minimal fuss. I used a quick qrip bar clamp as I don't have a small vise. It's rubber clamp pads also prevented marring. I used a small punch from my gunsmithing kit and the pin was out in no time. The base of the key, however, was another story. It bent before it broke off flush with the key base, so it wasn't wanting to come out. I ended up drilling a small pilot hole and an easy-out to pull the broken base out. Back together was a snap. Good as new... |
