That's what I'm using now. I should explain, I'm not exactly just "taking a dip", I am Kiting (often in the surf), and with regular impacts that can break ribs (not yet touch wood but close several times), I don't trust the bags or boxes long term. Several guys have had them leak after a big crash.

I know, I should act my age...

Why?. If you stop playing with big boys toys, what else would you do?

Nice euphemism there Harlie.

Bit of a stretch from "taking a dip" to kite surfing

Still, as has been said - Growing old is mandatory, growing up is optional

If I (or Gav, or both) ever get around to tinkering with the key programming thing we'll be sure to keep the forumites appraised.

Enjoy the ride.

programing the keys isnt that hard , you need one of these tools but there are many others you can use for a fair price

EWS Editor V3.2.0

Ive ordered this tool and will post back results , if successful i will offer the service in the perth area.

I'm involved in several wet sports & after looking at the cost of replacements, I bought a blank key from a Ebay supplier.
The key has the blade & the Body but no electronics at all.

I leave the proper key inside & just use the manual entry via the passengers door.

Works great

Says Land Rover it the list of supported vehicles but not BMW... and has the OBDII adaptor....

Or, if you could post a few links of ones you think may work.

Thoughts?

Cheers - Gav

EDIT - if the above programmer would work, and this key from Flea bay - LAND RANGE ROVER 3 BUTTON L322 VOGUE HSE REMOTE KEY 433MHZ + CHIP FULL KEY FOB | eBay - is the 433MHZ unit the one we need?

And $35 to cut it, all in it would cost me about $300 for 1 key - half the price of the stealers. Add to that if anyone else wanted to get another done cheaply and wanted to chip in $10 to borrow the programmer... it would help offset the cost a bit...

Gav I bought one of those keys as my electronics had packed up.
I just swapped out the pc board and put it in my key. I still had the rfid. The replacement electronics have proper little push switches not the silly carbon track of the original. If I can get it reprogrammed it also came with a rfid.

But the suggestion to get a blank and cut it sounds the cheapest for a wet key. I have a few left when I got new keys cut that are perfect for wet key use.
The master key is a black plastic key that is not recommended to use often.

Are there any updates on key cutting, key programming etc
What prices are being charged for cutting keys from blanks?
Has anyone purchased a key programmer?
Has anyone had difficulties in getting new key remotes to work properly?

Had one cut today (although I did get a 10% discount) for about that amount.

This new key has all the electronics in it (including the RFID chip) for about 60AUD. Now all I need to do is find a way to read and program the ECU and the key.

Saw a programming tool on FleaBay but at a tad more than I'm prepared to pay at the moment "just to tinker". Anyone know where the EWS ECU hides??

The new key now works in the door lock. I followed the key synchronisation procedure and now I have two keys that can open or lock the doors and cancel the alarm via remote, but still only one that will start the car.

9GBP sounds good for a shell that will get you out of most grief AND you won't need to worry about it getting wet!!

Cheers,
Iain

where did you pick up the new key with the RFID Chip?

They are available from a Chinese online store.

I suspect our market requires the 400 mhz chip whilst USA uses the 300 mhz variety - someone with better knowledge will be able to confirm.
