Today I thought I would program another key for my 2003 R53 Cooper S
I had a spare master key which I got from a car wrecker so I did the following which I got from another thread
1. Get in the car and shut the doors. (don't open any of the doors until you are complete.
2. Put a key in the ignition and turn it to the first click, then back and take the key out. (you have 5 seconds to perform the next step)
3. HOLD DOWN the unlock button, and press the lock button 3 times, then release the unlock button. The doors of the car should lock or unlock. Don't touch the doors or door locks.
4. Once the doors have locked/unlocked then just do step 3 with the other keys. Just hold down the unlock button, press the lock 3 times and release the unlock button.
5. Once you do this with all the keys then you can open the door or put a key in the ignition and the programming is ended.
6. Then try the lock and un lock on all the keys. If they don't work you can try it again.
I could not get the second key remote to work so I gave up
Later today I went to start the car with the original master key and the car will not turn over The ignition lights come on but then nothing It looks like the transponder in the key is no longer communicating with the cars immobiliser.
Could I have disabled the cars computer
I have had the car towed to my nearest dealer and they think the key is faulty and I will require a new key which has to be sent from overseas
Help Please
