My 1 last Key was working. I drive for hours, so charging should not be an issue. I have a 2006 550i with no warranty and don't want to go to BMW.

Unfortunately, I am having issues locking and all (If anyone is looking to steal the car, be my guest).

Any thoughts or links someone can send to help me through the process? Also, I couldn't even find my rear fuse box to see if its a fuse. Where the hell is it? HAHA

diversity antenna is common failure point. Has it rained hard recently? Try holding key next to shark fin and pressing buttons?

Greg. There's a battery in the key for comfort access. Putting key fob in the key slot does not charge it. Get a 2032 battery and it will work
