key-hole cap drivers door

FirstClass · 04-08-2008, 06:22 PM

I just tried it with the battery out and no dice. I know for a fact someone said it was RFID in some other thread, but clearly they were mistaken. It needs the battery.

I ordered mine from JLevi too, but it came with no hole for the LED

I see the Bimmian one with the cutouts, but mine wasn't like that.

Damn, I was going to test that, hoping it would work. Bummer.

There's no drop down option to select the cut out for the puddle hole LED, and I specified my year of car when I ordered.

O well

Yes, it completely take the lock cylinder(sp) out of your door. There is no way for me to get in the drivers door unless I break the window. If for some reason my battery dies on my fob, I will have to use the key in the trunk and climb in from there.

VERY easy, just go to the Bimmian website and go to their DIY form the actual product.

Essentially you just use a Hex and unscrew the locking mechanism and then put out old lock, install dummy piece and rescrew in, took me like 5-10 min TOPS. Let me know if you have any more questions
