How do I reset my BMW 7 Series key fob?

I recently bought a used BMW 7 Series and the key fob isn't working. I tried replacing the battery but it still won't work. Is there a way to reset the key fob without having to go to the dealership?

Hi Samantha, have you tried holding down the lock and unlock buttons on the key fob for about 10 seconds? This is usually the reset process for BMW key fobs. If that doesn't work, it may be a faulty key fob and you may need to go to the dealership to get a new one. Hope this helps!

Hi Samantha, you can also try disconnecting the car's battery for about 15 minutes and then reconnecting it. This can sometimes reset the key fob. If that doesn't work, it's best to bring it to the dealership for further diagnosis.
