Where are the batteries in a BMW key fob?

Non-rechargeable batteries are often found in key fobs with BMW keyless start. Rechargeable batteries are found in some key fobs that need to be inserted into an ignition slot in your car, like in E60 and E90 vehicles without Comfort Access. In this case, the ignition slot doubles as a charger, topping up the battery while you drive.

What should I do if my car key won’t turn?

If your car won’t start and all you hear is a clicking noise, your battery is either dying or completely dead. Your day (or wallet) doesn’t have to take a huge hit, however.
