How do you unlock the glove box in a BMW?

Answer by  Redhdz (527)

Release the integrated key from your remote by pressing the top button and pulling the key out with your fingers. X3, the remote functions are part of the key itself,just make sure you have the "master key" with the remote functions, rather than the plain spare key. Insert key into the lock and turn it to unlock the glove compartment.

The first thing you need to do is identify what type of BMW you are driving! Otherwise, you could be looking for a key, when you don't need one. Most BMWs use a key to open the glove compartment. Just don't try the spare key-only the master works!

Most glove box locks coincide with the ignition key so, unless the ignition itself was replaced since the car was new, that key should work.
