Can I buy a display key?
Not too much info about this on here.
I see lots of them for sale, pretty inexpensive, so I wouldn't mind purchasing one. What is involved in programming it to my car? Can I just bring it to BMW? Is there a certain "type" I need? What should I expect to pay? Can I do it myself? I have to assume it's "possible" because there are so many for sale.... because if they weren't reprogrammable, they'd be worthless, right? Any insight?

Yes, BimmerTech has them available for ~$900 including coding. Purchased mine through them. Took several remote sessions to successfully complete the coding, but I believe that was because iDrive 7 was brand new at the time and they encountered some challenges. I imagine they've resolved everything by now.

Another reason why I am not using it in the x5 is that I can't manage to have my profile on both the normal key and the display key. |

Yea.... unfortunately I don't have Connected Drive on a US spec car in Europe. Hell.... they just figured out how to get European maps loaded only 3 weeks vefore I picked ut up.
So.... $900 from Bimmertech.... How much of that is the key, versus the coding for the key? Sounds pretty pricey.
