REMOTE MASTER KEY HELP! (i'm a newbie)

[simply x]

well, i bought my 02 3.0i with a dead key a month ago...so i'd unlock/lock the doors by inserting the key....i ordered a master key from the bmw stealership in manhattan and had the key initialized last thursday night...everything went well....i gave the old key(w/dead remote key) as a spare to my brother...he used the car today with that key....when i tried to use my key(master key w/ working remote), it wasn't working at all....i even drove around all the way to Riverhead, Long Island since i figured maybe the key was just discharged....however, it's still not working whatsover....what could it be? your help is really appreciated...thanks!!

thanks...i just tried it but it didn't work.....what else could it be? could it be that they've given me a messed up master key or something because first it was working for few days and it stopped OR am i just following the instructions above incorrectly?
