I have read that the central lock system has to be reporgrammed after installing a new drivers side door actuator - is this true?

I used this lock on a 2007 335i Sedan. Replaced just the drivers lock mechanism. NO programming was needed.

Thank you all for the responses ... I had heard that the driver's side door actuator on E46 BMWs is the "master" and that upon replacement, the CLS has to be reprogrammed accordingly. However, based upon all of you input, it sounds like it is "plug and play" with the needed for any additional work. Thanks again to all!

It's not true. The central lock system does not need to be reprogrammed for that.

Yes and Yes to your two questions. I had trouble getting the rivets out but once I did, the bolts replaced them. Here is something to think about. After about 6 months after doing the driver's side door, the motor went in the passenger side. It makes sense. They are the same age and got about the same usage. I have not replaced it yet, but for the cost, I wish that I did both at the same time.

Youre going to be using the new set of keys anyway so I would just change the whole assembly myself... The install is pretty simple. The programming is the only tricky part. Who procedure takes about 30 mins.

I only have one key left and the piece covering the lock button is missing so the chip is exposed, it constantly opens and locks when I hit the button. It looks like I can order a replacement cover for that key, and I want to order an extra key because my other set of keys was stolen. Am I an the right track?

As for your vehicle I can't say. I can say that it is NOT the right assembly for my 2002 gmc Sierra 2500hd SLE. Theoretically you should be able to plug in a new actuator and the computer will re-learn it's code. I read that if it doesn't you need to have the Passlock system reset. It says it can sometimes be done by owner with the vehicle. However in many cases you need to take it to the dealer with special programmer. I tried the reset with old actuator after cleaning it up w/ pb blaster. Works fine now. Look for Passlock reset in manual READ EVERYTHING!!! You don't want mess it up or you won't be able to drive your car as it's your security system. Hope this helps. As for your vehicle I can't say.

You use the Re-Keying kit to reconfigure the lock to accept the new key. This system is complete crap. The lock has a tendency to get out of whack by itself and then you're locked out.

Hi there ,i used this door lock actuator 931-303In my chevy silverado 2008 ext cab 1500 driver side

my newest replacement is having the same issue. I have to use a screwdriver or something to push in the lock if I've used it hard. Im going to take mine apart and see if theres a molding edge or something that needs filed off.

Yes, you would have to install aftermarket door lock actuator if you wanted power lock if not. If you don't care about power locks, u can have the alarm go off with the dom light. I had it in a 1997 wrangler just dident do door locks.

This actuator has NOTHING to do with the automatic lock on the door. In regards to the heat, I believe you only "need" the one that is behind the glove compartment on the right side...but since the space is open to replace the right, you may want to consider replacing the one on the left side of the space as well. It only takes 5 more minutes.

the blade on the new unit is integrated within the case(actually it was also on your original key before braking), so if you want to remove the blade it would damage. Sometimes only the back of the key is damage in which case you may probably change only the back to your old key

this is a fit all door actuator. it can lock/unlock. a very easy install. used it on my 2001 Escape to lock/unlock rear hatch. you may have to use linkage from old lock to help with install.If it won't lock or unlock ,reverse the wire hookup.

You have to have the key that currently works in the lock to activate the key-change procedure. Odds are against that, I hope.

I was told that a service man must come out and do the programing. I still had my old key fob (but the key ring opening had broken off), so I simply opened the old and new key fob cases (with a screw driver) and unscrewed both key fobs from their cases and put the old fob (that was still programmed) into the new case. Screwed it back and snapped it closed. If you lost your old key fob or it was broken, then you probably will need the company to send someone out.

I have the same problem. I think the lock was mismanufactured at the factory. I'm certain I installed it correctly. Will be exchanging for a new lock

Use a BIG Hammer...that is what I did. This thing is a piece of junk and Hammacher Schlemmer suggested I send it "back" for a refund/replacement. Send it back with all my data loaded in it...RIGHT! Sounds like part of the original design to me...the default PIN timer lockout must be working Great!!!

Hi , it's been about 6 months since I did the gear assembly replacement , so it's not fresh in my memory.I don't know what #41A315-7D or #41A1-7D stand for , or what they are.All I can say is switching the gear assem. was a simple job . The only parts I usrd out of the kit was the gear set & lube. I probably didn't need to replace the screw gear, but as long as I had it , I did so. Go to youtube & watch the videos of the garage door gear replacement . That should answer most your questions .
