BMW CAS4 CAS4+ key programming by Lonsdor K518

BMW CAS4 CAS4+ key programming by Lonsdor K518.

BMW key programmer to use:

Lonsdor K518S / K518ISE

Other programmer like VVDI Prog can read ISN code for CAS4/4+ all key lost

Procedure:

BMW\Select from type\CAS4/CAS4

Key program: dismantle CAS4 to read data with external programmer-> import the data to [customfile] folder in K518 memory-> generate ignition key.

Note: ISN code is required for CAS4/4+ all key lost.

  1. Please dismantle CAS4 immo to read D-FLASH/EEPROM data.(1) CAS4 immo box is located at the left bottom of steering wheel(see below pic).a. Dismantle front dashboard.b. Dismantle cover plate at front of central LCD. You will find 2 screws at both sides.c. Dismantle outlet at right side. Then take out peach wood board after removing 8 nuts inside.d. Pry off small cover plates at both sides of air conditioning control panel. Pull out the control panel after removing 4 screws inside. CAS box is dismantled finally.

  1. Appearance of CAS4 box

  1. Please read E-FLASH/EEPROM data with programmer(select from immo chip type, refer to the wiring) and save it in “bin” format. When reading completed, please import these data to [customfile] folder in K518 memory, then you can operate on the device.

Note:

  1. Please complete below operations, after start key is generated and locked successfully:

(1) Take other keys outside car, excluded the newly-generated key.

(2) Put the key close to the induction coil(steering column position in below pic).

(3) Press car start button once, and wait for 15 secs(even if dashboard lights up, you still have to wait for 15 secs).

(4) Test if the new key’s functions work normally.

  1. For CAS4+ all key lost, it requires ISN code to program(dismantle and read engine ECU with external programmer).
  2. If system prompts data write failure, please check the key or induction position. Suggest to use dealer key to program.
  3. For all key lost, you can dismantle the decorative panel on top of rear row, to check remote frequency.
