I'm not sure if I'm the "deaf, dumb, and blind kid",or if that's just a general statement to us newbies who get conflicting info, but yes, I checked that, no I don't have that option code listed(just the two I mentioned before) and now that I know about the box under the seat(mine has a M531 code=central locking/no alarm), I checked with two more service techs and they said yes, they can program a key to it as long as you have a proper key with a tag. So, one of these days when I get time I'll try to get it done and let you know if it worked and we'll all be the wiser. It's actually not even important to me, I just needed a new key head so I figured might as well have a remote if I could.

hey chris, but if what you say is correct-that means you can get keyless entry without having the alarm option, which i for one did not know...

Jim has a lot of bravado and ego, best to get used to it, you will see plenty more where that came from.

Please be sure to keep us informed about your key programming. I was under the impression that cars w/ the M531 could not be programmed to have factory keyless entry. I for one would be interested in knowing for sure from someone that's had it tried by a dealer. I'm in need of a trip to the dealer myself soon to have OBC turned on and an airbag light checked into.
