There is no coding. You just need to be able to push the button, check out this post I found via search:

Good link. Thanks. I think you are correct. I think this is a hard wire setup.

This might help guide you, applies to the F30 but confirms coding is needed:

In my 39x 328i I didn't have to code...soon everything will be a gosh darn code.
