I translate this as being an attempt to recode a keyfob. Short of actually reading the manual, anyone out there remember how to do this on that model 6er?

I did what the manual said and still no luck
Did you check:
- Are the batteries good in the fob?
- Is it the *right* fob for that vehicle?
Q: did it work ever with this fob in your vehicle?
I have never had a remote with this car but the owner before me did. I call the dealer and ordered a remote from them so i thought they would know what remote to get. I dont know how to tell if the battries are good tho
Well, I see three potential problems.
- Batteries are dead (perhaps from sitting?)
- It is the wrong remote fob (really easy to have happen?)
- There are vehicle parts (the remote module) that either don't exist (anymore) or are broken.
Any way to check why the old owner's fob was missing?
