Hi I have four keys for my car and two of the have the remote locking on them the main one we use started acting up about a week ago somtimes it would lock and sometimes it won't now it doesn't  work at all so I thought I would use the second remote took the car a drive from Mansfield to Sheffield and back to charge it up but nothing from that one either does anybody know what the problem could be cheers? Gaz

keys are charged in the keyhole through an induction current passed from the key ring. bmw recommends using each key at least in 6 months so as to not let the battery go flat.

if the second key has been idle for years maybe its battery is gone and needs replacement. if neither key charges i'd even suspect the charging mechanism.

have they worked well in the past?

Cheers for the reply the main key we use has worked fine until a week ago the second key we've never used its always been in the BMW wallet with the valet key and that plastic one

Have you tried to reprogram it by any chance?

Hi yes thanks followed a guide on here programmed the key pretty easy and all works a treat again now I think I must of knocked the keys memory out when I was playing with the second key somehow

You have to program them at the same time back to back
