Service scenarios
Will This Fix My Problem?
Honest answer: here's exactly what this service fixes — and what it doesn't. Save yourself time and shipping cost before ordering.
This service fixes:
- ✓All BMW keys lost (2013+ F-chassis)
- ✓Used FEM/BDC module needs ISN matched to your DME
- ✓Add a spare key without a dealer visit
- ✓Replacement FEM does not start the car after install
This service won't fix:
- ✗Pre-2013 BMWs — see our CAS module mail-in service
- ✗DME hardware faults (we can pair, not repair the DME)
- ✗Mechanical ignition issues
Why both FEM and DME?
The FEM/BDC stores the ISN (Individual Serial Number) read from the DME. The two are cryptographically locked. To program a key, we must read the DME's ISN, write it to the FEM, then pair a transponder. Shipping only the FEM is not enough — the price covers both.
Shipping Instructions
These details are also emailed to you the moment your payment clears.
You pay shipping to us. We cover return shipping. Pack both the FEM/BDC AND the DME in the same box, padded with the connectors protected.
What to include in your box
- BMW FEM or BDC module
- BMW DME (engine control module) from the SAME vehicle
- A printed copy of your order confirmation email
- VIN of the BMW (for blade cut + ISN verification)
