How to Open the BMW X1 Key Remote?
2 Answers
The method to open the BMW X1 key remote is: 1. Remove the mechanical key; 2. Insert the mechanical key into the gap at the bottom of the key to pry open the shell. Taking the 2021 BMW X1 as an example, it is a compact SUV with body dimensions of: length 4565mm, width 1821mm, height 1620mm, wheelbase 2780mm, and a fuel tank capacity of 61l. The 2021 BMW X1 is equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 140PS, a maximum torque of 220Nm, and a maximum power of 103kW, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.
Last time I replaced the battery in my wife's BMW X1 key, the steps were actually quite simple: See that small opening on the side of the key? Use a flathead screwdriver or a coin to gently pry it open, and the plastic back cover will pop right off. For the newer keys with silver borders, it's even easier—just run your fingernail along the seam between the silver border and the black plastic to open it. Once the back cover is off, you'll see the button battery, usually a CR2032. Be careful not to damage the rubber waterproof ring inside when replacing the battery. When putting it back together, align the clips and press until you hear a 'click,' which means it's properly secured. The whole process takes no more than three minutes, saving you hundreds compared to a dealership visit.
