I\'ll bet none of you \'know it all\' contenders knows the answer to this one...!
 

I want to change the clocks on my 2002 m620.
I've asked the peeps on UKMOC and some useful suggestions have come forward, but nothing definitive.

The new clocks are plugged in and the needles spin round, everything lights up, but the starter button don't work.
I have learned that the chip in the ignition key talks to a reciever in the clocks which sends an activation signal to the ecu if all is in order, but obviously the new clocks are expecting a different key to be used so tells the ecu to immobilise!

Question is this...
How can I make the new clocks recognise the old ignition key?

Take it to a dealer!!??:lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

Show them a photograph. They may remember :lol::eureka::D Im sorry nick. Had too. No I dont know other than maybe put the red key in and see what it does. Maybe there are buttons to press as in most technical faults:puzzled:

You have been told!:P

using the red key, you need to go though a specific sequence.

Will only tell, for large amounts of chocolate!:P

C

HAMMER :lol::lol::lol:

I did, but the mechanic was bloody useless! :P

or a copy of Win98 2nd edition?

:P :P

Nah, belgian chocs are more satisfying!:P

just give Roger a call in the morning - am sure he can help your mechanic out, however poorly trained he might be!:lol::lol:

C:saint:

I prefer AGE996's suggestion best so far!

So much more satisfying than Belgian chocolate :devil:

Are the clocks brand new and never been fitted to a bike?
If so you need your red key and at least two black keys to code them to the bike-when you turn on the red key you start a countdown and you then have to turn on each black key within 15 secs and finish again with the red one turn on and off within 15 secs and wait 30secs before turning any key on again.
If they have been fitted to a bike then you have had it-they are already coded to whatever bike they were fitted to

Thanks Bolds.
Sadly they're 2nd hand clocks, but I think we can use that info to good effect. We have the technology!

I saw the dealer recode a new clock on my 749. It was what looked like a confusing process of red key, black key as bolds said. The one thing he did say was don't have the black keys too close while you do it - he had to try a couple of times because they intefere with each if they are too close.

A bit like doing Fiat and Alfa's then

Nope still recomend a Hammer :lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

Would that need to be a red hammer, a black hammer, or one red and 2 black? :puzzled:

nah color don't mater just make sure it's a BIG one




:lol::bouncy::lol::bouncy::lol::bouncy::burn::burn :

Hmmm .. "if in doubt, give it a clout" .. that's what I always say!

Simply use the original clocks!!! - Sorted ;)

Can you get the keys and locks that were on the bike the new clocks came from?

;):lol:
