Hello to all, im new to the forum and im loving all the great information that i am finding.

I recently purchased a 2006 m35 that only had one key fob, i want to buy a spare key. I seen a post ( which i cant find anymore) that specified which type or kind of key should be purchased for it to work successfully. My current key id is FCC ID CWTWBU618.

Is there a certain model i sould be looking for?
Does anyone have a link to ebay, amazon?
What are my chances getting a knowledgeable locksmith to program the key?

Any help appreciated, Thanks in advance

Just get the same one that you have on Ebay with a blank key...and then have the dealer cut it and program it. Doubt a locksmith can do it.

When I had my 2007 M35, a local tint shop broke (smashed) my key fob. They, of course, admitted fault and paid for replacement. The locksmith they contracted with had a huge assortment of key fobs in stock and was charged with providing me a replacement. I took that locksmith 3 key fobs (each was verified to be THE proper key), a team of 2 technicians, two different laptop gizmos, and 3 trips to his shop to get my replacement key fob to work properly. They told me the 2006-2007 M's are among the hardest to properly program.
As Ilya said, it's best to have the dealer do it. Long as you can find a key fob with matching numbers, you can buy it yourself and save some cash. But there is little hope of avoiding the exorbitant cost for the dealer to program it.

I think I have a spare I will check when I get home in a couple hours. Just double check that fcc code I think you are missing a letter. I think I needs a blank.

Hey larz I have one $40 and I will ship asap.
