Display key cracked screen

Hi all, I have a cracked screen on my G31 display key.
Has anyone had this problem yet? I fear its a case of a new key

I'd have thought so, and think I've read somehere here, not cheap.

If you have remote parking on the car, then obviously a big deal, less so if you don't as the normal keys will suffice.

There'll be enterprising suppliers on AliExpress and eBay, that'll start selling these little screens once they become bit more mainstream. Until then, you might have to go via a replacement route. Wonder whether you'll be able to get it replaced under insurance if your keys are covered by that.

Hi, I had similar problem with my BMW Display Key and found on ebay a company from my home town, that repairs those.
They asked me if i had parking or non-parking version, size of the battery (apparently it is important) and if this remote is still working/connecting to the car.
I had only broken display but the rest looked fine. They told me that they offer brand new original display keys, that are already paired with some car and this cannot be changed but if my electronics is OK, they can swap display, case, buttons, battery, almost everything besides the component that "remembers" the car.

I didn't buy this service via ebay because i had just few KM to drive to them but if someone is interested this link might be helpfull.

IMO 140 euro was a great deal for full repair.
BMW charges nearly 3 times this price and end result is the same.
