Adding A Dependable Backup Key To A BMW 1 Series
The owner of this BMW 1 Series in Sway had one working key and wanted a dependable spare before that single key became a more urgent problem.
What The Customer Needed
The owner of this BMW 1 Series in Sway had one working key and wanted a dependable spare before that single key became a more urgent problem.
Starting with the working key
We checked the existing BMW 1 Series key at the vehicle, including its physical and electronic functions. That gave us a reliable reference for selecting compatible hardware and preserving the working key throughout the job.
Producing the additional key
A second key was prepared beside the BMW 1 Series, with the blade cut where the design required one and the transponder or smart-key function enrolled to the car. The original remained available for comparison during programming.
Checking both keys
Both BMW 1 Series keys were tested independently for the functions supported by this system. The owner left the Sway appointment with the original key and a fully checked backup.

“Accidentally put my key in the wash (it's an electronic key) and needed one asap to make a vet appointment later in the day and work the next day. Great communication, sound guy, and the job was carried out in 20 mins. Couldn't have had a better outcome.”
