Fireman Paul, I am pretty sure I can post it for you, I just have to find it. Are you looking to program the door opener that is black with two grey buttons, one smaller than the other. I will look tonight (10/10) and post it ASAP. The sequence is so ridiculous I thought I was on Candid Camera.

Yeah Dannyboy thats the one. I know when I did my Subaru I thought the same thing. I did another post on the fob. The BMW fob isidentical to my subaru outback fob. I think I'll try to program it to my car when I get the sequence. I know 2 subaru fobs were 42 canadian landed on my door step brand new. The BMW is rediculous.
Thanks

This is from the Bentley Publishers forum. Also a good place to go for BMW info. This sequence worked for me the first time. Make sure the remote has a fresh battery. Good luck. Let me know how you did. Danny

The red status light will illuminate continuously, and the siren will chirp once to indicate that the code learning mode has been initiated.
