FAQs: BMW Auto Locksmith South West London

Can you make a BMW key without the original?

Yes. As a mobile BMW car locksmith, we can create a new key without the original by securely reading the immobiliser data (for example via OBD2 or, where necessary, EEPROM) and programming a new transponder/smart key to your vehicle.

My BMW says “Key not detected.” What should I do?

First, try replacing the key fob battery and hold the fob near the steering column or designated reader point. If it still won’t start, it may be a key, antenna, or immobiliser module issue. We can diagnose and complete BMW smart key programming on-site.

How long does BMW key replacement take?

Most replacements can be completed in one visit. Timing varies by model, key type (transponder vs. smart), and whether additional programming of FEM/BDC or CAS modules is required. We’ll give you an estimated time once we identify your BMW model and year.

Can you deauthorise a lost BMW key?

Yes. If your BMW key is lost or stolen, we can delete the missing key from the immobiliser system so it can no longer start the car, and then supply and program a replacement.

Will you damage my BMW when unlocking it?

We use non-destructive entry methods wherever possible and protect trims and seals. In the rare case that drilling or component removal is unavoidable (for example, failed locks), we’ll explain the reasons and obtain your approval first.

Do you cover evenings and weekends?

Yes. Our emergency auto locksmith support is available across South West London. If it’s urgent, call us so we can prioritise your job.
