Key learning is one of the key features of the Abrites diagnostics for BMW/Mini Online. Using it the users can perform key learning for all CAS 1, CAS 2, CAS3, CAS3+, CAS4, FEM and BDC vehicles via OBDII including those with latest ISTA-P updates. If the user has working key for the car and wants to make a spare one, the key learning is a fast and easy process. (FEM and some BDC modules above softare version 85) require preparation, which is not done via OBDII.

If all keys are lost and a new one has to be made then the process is more complicated, but all the necessary tools are included in the package.

They can enable or disable key positions etc.

Important notes

• If the car is in an all keys lost situation you will need the ISN from the DME, and that means keeping the car awake long enough to read it. See 17.1 ISN reading from DME.

• For older EWS and CAS units a key can also be prepared from a dump — see 17.8 Key Learning by Dump.
