How to Disassemble a BMW X6 Key?
2 Answers
BMW X6 key disassembly method: First, pull out the mechanical key, then you will see a groove. Use the mechanical key to pry open this groove to remove the outer shell, allowing you to replace the battery. BMW defines the X6 as an SAC, which stands for Sport Activity Coupe. Compared to the X5, which is positioned more towards on-road performance, the BMW X6 takes road performance to a more advanced level, blending the sporty capabilities of a coupe with the versatility of an SUV in its exterior design and driving dynamics. In terms of dimensions, the BMW X6 measures 4880mm in length, 1983mm in width, and 1709mm in height.
The other day I changed the battery in my BMW X6 key fob myself, and it was quite interesting. The key is a small plastic shell with a thin slit on the side. You can gently pry it open with a small flathead screwdriver or a plastic pry tool. Be careful not to use a metal tool, as it can leave scratches. Once the cover is off, you’ll find a small CR2032 battery inside—just gently pop it out. When replacing the battery, don’t forget to check the positive and negative markings, or the key might stop working. When closing the cover, align the clips properly and press until you hear a 'click.' The first time I tried, I forced it and broke a clip, so I had to order a replacement part online. I’d recommend beginners watch online tutorial videos first and handle the process gently. The whole thing takes no more than 10 minutes, and once you learn it, you save yourself the hassle of going to the shop every year. After replacing the battery, don’t forget to test the unlock button to make sure everything works—otherwise, you might have to redo it.
