1st variant

Connect BMW-Explorer interface into OBD, press the "Quick test" button, wait until the list of the connected units appears. select and connect to the CAS unit.

First of all we need to check for available locked and unlocked keys.

To do this, go to the CAS in the "extra options" and press  "Lock / Unlock keys".

 

 

key1

 

 

Here we see free (unblocked) key tracks.

If you have a working key, you can unlock any desired key track number.

Next, go to the key programming.

From left to right we have the data of the radio channel then the data of the IMMO

As we see in the picture.

 

 

Key2

 

 

Click on the left button "Program new key" and select "type of the key"

 

 

Key4

 

 

 

Then insert blank key into the ignition slot and after of about 10 seconds new key will be programmed into the CAS.

This way supports about of 70% of BMW with CAS1 CAS2 CAS3.

In other cases you should use  VARIANT 2 of the key programming procedure. 

 

Make sure that after programming, key value should be  002B00 for the 7936 chip and 004B00 for the radio channel key

For keys with Comfort access it is necessary to put value of 005B00
