BMW X6 car key disassembly method: Press the mechanical key button on the key, use the other hand to pull out the mechanical key, pry open the rear cover clip at the head end, then pry open the rear cover clip on the arc side, and you can remove the rear cover; After removing the rear cover, you can see the button battery. Insert a large pin into the end and tap it outward to remove the button battery for replacement. The BMW X6 is a mid-to-large-sized SUV launched by BMW, with body dimensions of 4929mm in length, 1989mm in width, 1709mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2933mm.
I just helped a friend disassemble the same key a few days ago. Remember to locate the clip position on the side of the key first. The BMW X6 blade key is a bit more challenging to disassemble than regular keys, so prepare a small flathead screwdriver. First, pull out the mechanical key, use your fingernail to pry open the hidden slot at the bottom, then carefully pry open the plastic casing. The internal circuit board is quite delicate—avoid touching the metal contacts. Pay special attention to the battery compartment cover, which has hidden clips; sliding it open with the side of your pinky fingernail is the safest method. Don’t use excessive force during the entire process—German car keys are designed with high precision. Last time, I accidentally snapped a clip. After opening it, check if the waterproof gasket has aged and clean any internal dust while you’re at it. When reassembling, listen for two 'clicks' to ensure it’s properly seated. Finally, test the remote function before reinserting the mechanical key.
Last time I spent quite a while replacing the battery for my wife's X6 key, so let me share some tips. The seam in the middle of the blade key is the entry point - using a credit card or thin plastic sheet is safer than metal tools. Start prying from the keyring hole and slowly slide upwards. After opening, you'll see a small arrow indicator on the battery cover - just push it open following the direction. German car key designs are quite interesting - the battery holder has a spring mechanism, so be careful not to lose that small part. Remember to wear anti-static gloves throughout the process as sweat on the circuit board can cause short circuits. When reassembling, pay attention to aligning the clips on the upper and lower covers - I only noticed during my second disassembly that there are triangular marks inside the cover that need to be aligned. After replacing the battery, hold down the unlock button to reset the signal, otherwise the sensor function may malfunction.
