I suppose most people know (I didn't until today) that your key fob stores your radio station presets. This is a nice feature if two people share the car and each has their own taste in music. However, I have two fobs, one that I programmed and the second is simply a spare. When I use the spare fob nothing is programmed. Is their a way for me to program the second fob without manually doing it on the radio using the I-Drive? Thanks.

The short answer is NO.

Least that's what my dealer told me when I asked the same question...Suck's don't it?

Talk about over-engineering

PS -- I suspect we are both AD fans along with being E60 fans!! (MVP!!!)

That's what I suspected.

Yep, AD is the man. I hated to see him go early. He was like a man among boys, with a body like it was chiseled out of stone. I am glad he went where he is appreciated.

There are a number of personal settings that are assigned to each fob. The logic is that individual drivers can have their driving environment customized for them.

I wonder if the dealer's service department can clone the information (and settings) from one fob to a second one?

+1 for another AD fan here. Fox are the stupidest for cancelling their best show ever. I hope the much-rumoured AD movie gets made.
