I don't know if this will help, but I had to reset the anti-theft on my 2001 Jimmy today and this was the procedure: Try to start the engine, it will fire and die. Leave the key in the on position. Wait 10 minutes. The "Security" light will stay on during the 10 minute interval then turn off. Turn the key to the "off" position for 5 seconds. Repeat 3 times. (Yes. It takes 30 minutes and 15 seconds to reset the antitheft in a Jimmy.) 70.64.66.88 hit the nail on the head! I just replaced the ignition lock cylinder on my 1997 Grand Am SE and got the ANTI THEFT light. Following the above advice it only took one time before the system reset itself. Turned over engine, it died, left key in on position, anti theft light blinked for 10 minutes then went solid, turned key to off position, counted to 7 Mississippi, restarted engine, it fired and ran and anti theft light gone.

How do you you set the time in a 2004 BMW 325ci?

Very aggravating problem with a simple answer thanks to my wife! First, you must have the time showing in the instrument cluster of your dashboard (the digital display in the center of the dash showing the odomoter, temperature, etc.). If the time is not showing in the instrument cluster, then look/feel for a small button labelled 'BC' on the end of the turn signal indicator lever. Push this button to scroll through the options for the instrument cluster and stop when the time is displayed. With the time showing in the instrument cluster, twist and hold the right knob on the instrument cluster until the time starts to change. You can twist it forward or backwards depending on which way you want to set the time. This sets the time in both the instrument cluster and the radio.
