October 19, 20264 min readBy Yaroslav Nikulin Quick answer This Jacksonville appointment was for a second key to a 2014 BMW 320i, with one working key still available. The job involved removing the FEM module, programming it on the bench, and reinstalling it. The photos document that particular service, not a procedure or price that applies to every BMW. ## Frequently asked questions **Was this BMW 320i job an all-keys-lost recovery?** No. The owner still had a working key and requested a second key for a 2014 BMW 320i. All-keys-lost work is a different service and must be assessed separately. **Did the module work happen at the customer's location?** Yes. This was a mobile appointment in Jacksonville. The photos show the removed module and the equipment used in the mobile work area before the module was reinstalled. **Does every BMW spare key require this same procedure?** No. This case documents the work on one 2014 BMW 320i. The applicable procedure and compatible key depend on the exact vehicle and installed system. Confirm support before booking. The full guide Complete technical walkthrough & pricing breakdown (4 min read) The owner of this **2014 BMW 320i** had one working key and wanted a second. There was no need to recover a car after every key had been lost. Even so, adding the spare involved work with the vehicle's electronic module, not just cutting a blade or supplying another fob. We completed the job at the customer's location in Jacksonville. The photos below show the vehicle, module, programming setup, and key from that appointment. ## The request: add a second working key The distinction between a spare-key job and an all-keys-lost job matters from the first phone call. In this case, the existing key was still available. The task was to add another key for the same vehicle. This BMW used an FEM, or Front Electronic Module. On this car, the work involved the encrypted system and required removing the module, completing the supported bench work, and reinstalling it. Those details describe this appointment; they do not establish the procedure for every BMW of the same year. ![Removed BMW module held in front of the silver 320i with a Koala Locksmith card](https://koala-locksmith.com/images/blog/bmw-key-programming/bmw-320i-module.jpg) The module removed during this 2014 BMW 320i spare-key appointment. ## Module work in the mobile workshop The next photo shows the module connected to programming equipment beside a tablet in our mobile work area. The equipment allowed the required work to take place at the vehicle's location rather than turning this appointment into a trip to a workshop. For the owner, this is the practical reason to confirm the complete service before booking. A replacement key and the work needed to make it function with the car are separate parts of the job. A quote should account for the compatible hardware, required electronic work, any applicable blade, and final function checks. ![BMW module connected to programming equipment beside a tablet in the mobile work area](https://koala-locksmith.com/images/blog/bmw-key-programming/bmw-module-programming-equipment.jpg) The bench setup used for this vehicle's module work during the mobile appointment. After the module work, it was reinstalled and the key addition was completed. This case illustrates why an existing working key is useful information, but does not by itself make every spare-key appointment a simple remote-pairing job. ## The completed spare key The photo below shows the key with the customer's BMW. Our original case account recorded a customer-reported price of **$350 to $400 for this particular appointment**. That is a historical case detail, not a current starting price or a quote for another vehicle. For current pricing, select the exact model and year in the [BMW 3 Series catalog](https://koala-locksmith.com/cars/bmw/3-series). Vehicle equipment, key type, the work required, and appointment details must be confirmed before a complete quote can be given. ![BMW key fob and Koala Locksmith card held in front of the silver BMW 320i](https://koala-locksmith.com/images/blog/bmw-key-programming/bmw-320i-spare-key.jpg) The key photographed with the vehicle after the spare-key work. ## What another BMW owner can take from this case Before arranging a visit, tell the provider **which BMW you have and whether an existing key still starts it**. Confirm that the proposed key and service support the exact vehicle. Do not assume a similar fob or a shared model year proves compatibility. For a broader explanation, use our [BMW key replacement guide](https://koala-locksmith.com/blog/2026-09-07-bmw-key-replacement-2026-cost-process-tips). The separate [BMW immobilizer guide](https://koala-locksmith.com/blog/2026-09-08-bmw-immobilizer-explained-security-programming-cost) explains the system names without treating them as one universal model-year timeline. This completed 2014 job also does not imply support for every later vehicle. **Koala offers spare-key service for BMW model year 2022 and newer but does not currently offer all-keys-lost service for those vehicles.** Contact the BMW dealer if all keys are lost on those model years. Other vehicles still require confirmation of service support before booking. ## Arrange a spare-key appointment in Jacksonville Call **[+1 (904) 515-9573](tel:+19045159573)** or [request an estimate](https://koala-locksmith.com/quote) with the model, year, location, and whether a working key remains.
