Keyfob conversion help

Hello all,

I am new to the BMW scene. Was wondering if the keyfob I have (comfort access) can be swapped to the larger four and three button fobs of the F chassis? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

The EPROM needs be removed from a working key to your car (can't be a random E series key) and re-soldered to a 315mhz F series key. Confirm freq on the back of your current FOB but should be 315. The F series key you buy must match.

Not an easy process as you need reflow equipment and oven.

Thank you... I am wondering if anyone here has done this before or know of someone who does this for a fee?
