What is the battery model for the BMW X1 remote?
2 Answers
BMW X1's remote battery model is CR2032, while the older model uses LV2020. The battery replacement steps are: 1. Remove the integrated key from the remote; 2. Insert the key into the slot; 3. Remove the battery compartment cover; 4. Install a new battery of the same model with the positive side facing up; 5. Close the remote cover. Taking the 2021 BMW X1 sDrive20Li Fashion model as an example: It is a compact SUV launched by BMW Brilliance, with dimensions of 4565mm in length, 1821mm in width, and 1620mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2780mm. It is equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum power of 103kw, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.
My BMW X1 remote key uses a CR2032 coin cell battery, which is a very common model. Last time when the battery died, I replaced it myself: first, slide open the small switch on the side of the key, pull out the mechanical key, and then use it to gently pry open the casing. When removing the old battery, pay attention to the positive and negative polarity; when installing the new battery, remember to place the side with the text facing up. This type of battery can be purchased at supermarkets or hardware stores, and Panasonic or Sony brands are more durable. After installation, test whether the lock and unlock buttons are responsive, and take the opportunity to clean the dust inside the key. A key typically lasts about two years, and I make it a habit to keep a spare battery of the same model in the car for emergencies.
