How to open the remote control key of the BMW 7 Series

Model: BMW Serie 7 MK 3, E38 - Years 1994-2001
Part: Key

In this guide we will see the instructions that will allow us to open the remote control of the BMW 7 Series key, in simple steps. First, we take our remote control and start levering on the side slot to open the remote control in two parts, thus accessing the electronic board and the battery; if necessary, we remove the battery, replacing it with a new one (of the correct type and having the same code). At this point we reassemble the remote control, aligning the two shells; all that remains is to verify the correct functioning of the commands.
