I am sure the keys auto charge when in the ignition, maybe the battery is on its last legs or something? hard to explain.
We have never had any problems with our keys. I know you can get some software to run on a laptop that allows you to turn stuff on and off, things like folding mirrors to fold etc when locking, lights flash when alarming the car, windows up and down on the press of a button etc etc loads of stuff. I use E46Zone. Good website, lots of very helpful people and most know how to resolve the bulk of issues.

The key one really is strange - i collected the car and the key i was given opened and drove the car i was then handed an extra 3 keys, 1 of which is one for everyday use and the others are plastic and valet key.
When i got home i tried the other key and nothing so checked online and did the coding and the other key worked but the original had stopped - so every time i code one it cancels the other
both keys are charged just won't code both.
