Default Key fob reailignment

I just bought a red 2017 M7 Coupe, love to drive this car.

It has two keys that the vette recognises as Key 2 & Key 3, so the orig owner must have lost and replaced key number 1.

I do I realign or reset to 1 & 2?

Do the long program. Read the instructions completely before you start.

How can you tell if the fob battery is getting weak?

Newer models give a warning on the DIC. My 14 just stops opening the door. If you haven't changed the battery in your FOBs for 3 years, do it now and avoid using the key to get in the car.

When the car fails to respond as you expect.

It is easy to change batteries and inexpensive. Thus, if in doubt simply replace both.

Will replacing the batteries in the fobs effect their settings?

Thanks
