Programming your 1996 BMW Z3 KEY

Really the simplicity in the key is that is is not chipped, it only has three buttons and it only does three things. First the three buttons are the LIGHT, which is the center  with the BMW Logo. The small gray button which unlocks and the large gray button which locks. The three things it does it lock the car, unlock the car, and start the engine. The programming functions are to turn on the security alarm notification beep OR shut off the notification beep. When the beep is on the car chirps ONCE to let you know it is locked and TWICE to let you know it is unlocked. If you try to unlock it when it is already unlocked it will chirp three time.

To program the 1996 BMW Z3 KEY to turn ON the chirp, hold the small gray button and the large gray button in at the same time. ONCE you hear a chirp it is programmed to make the beep or chirp when the security system is armed. IF you want to shut off the beep notification, hold the small and large gray button in until you hear NO BEEP after a few second of holding the buttons in. THEN try it out. Lock the car if the chirp is not heard the notification is off. If you hear the chirp and want the notification OFF repeat the steps to turn the alarm notification off until it is OFF.
