BMW DME Repair or Reprogramming
As a BMW owner, you rely on the electronic control units (ECUs) in your vehicle to properly control the engine, transmission, safety systems, and convenience features. However, as these ECUs age or experience issues, they may require servicing or replacement to keep your BMW running optimally. Reprogramming or replacing the DME, which is the main ECU that controls your BMW’s engine functions, is a complex process that requires specialized knowledge, equipment, and software to complete correctly.

BMW DME/ECU Repair and Replacement
Should your BMW’s DME or ECU become damaged or non-functional, we can source a replacement direct from BMW and reprogram it to your vehicle’s VIN and options. Reprogramming a replacement DME/ECU involves connecting it to our BMW-approved diagnostic scan tool and inputting your vehicle’s details so it can function properly with your BMW’s systems.
Once installed and programmed, our professional locksmith technicians will start your BMW to ensure the new DME/ECU is communicating properly with all systems before releasing the vehicle back to you. We stand behind our work with a warranty on parts and labor.

If you’ve lost your keys or had them stolen, we can also code replacement keys to a new DME/ECU. We have the capability to cut and program new keys to your BMW even without an existing working key. However, for anti-theft reasons, we will require proof of ownership documentation for any key matching services before proceeding.

Lost Key and Broken DME Coding and Reprogramming
If you have lost your BMW keys or the DME unit in your vehicle is malfunctioning, you will need to have the DME reprogrammed and recoded to work with a new key. This involves two main steps:
DME Coding
The DME control unit in your BMW contains the vehicle’s VIN and other important information to ensure only authorized keys will start the engine. When a new DME or key is installed, the DME needs to be recoded with your specific vehicle data so it can recognize the new key. Our BMW specialists have the necessary diagnostic tools and software to access your DME, extract the vehicle coding data, and transfer it to a replacement DME or to recode your existing DME to work with a new key.
Key and DME Programming
Once the DME has been properly coded, the new keys need to be programmed to your vehicle. We connect directly to your BMW’s diagnostic port to initiate the key programming process. The keys are synchronized to the DME so that only authorized keys will be able to start the engine and unlock the doors. The keys are also cut to match your BMW’s specific key code.
We understand how frustrating it can be to not have access to your vehicle. Our BMW DME and key programming experts can get your BMW back on the road quickly while ensuring the work is done properly to avoid future issues. We service all BMW models and can replace DME units, reprogram existing DMEs, cut and code new keys, and perform emergency roadside key programming for BMW owners across the region. Please contact us for more information or to schedule an appointment. We look forward to helping you resolve your BMW DME or key issues as soon as possible.
