Abrites BMW Commander wont program CAS Remote Key?

**gtmech** · 25th May, 2011, 09:27 AM

Ok sure it programs the transponder chip fine in the CAS Key but it wont program the Remote side of the key, anyone successfully done this? I have tried this so many times and car starts fine everytime but the remote features never work, tried 4 keys and no success everytime. If you have successfully done this then what keys are you using as its obviously the keys that are the problem as I have now tried 3 different tools with same result on all. Anyone shed some light on this? thanks guys

I got the same problem with bmw commander.

I have spoke to miro and he says its key fault/problem, but i can see more ppl complaining about remote not working after programing cas with avdi.
Car will start up but remote will not work. Key remote freq is matching original key + cas data!

thanks for telling me this buddy, now i know its not just me. Has anyone actually successfully managed to program the remote side of a CAS Key? I have tried everything and spent thousands on this so far with no success. I dont think these CAS keys are possible to do, who wants to prove me wrong?

My score is 6 failed & 1 success. Bmw cas3/4 key programing is more a theory! Dont get me wrong, key starts the car, but remote worked only once out of 6 attempts!! Thats alot of money waisted, how much should i charge a customer? $5k for a spare key?
I dont want to go into how much bmw commander costs!

I earn more with ews keys then with cas!

use the tmpro module to write the cas keys, it doesnt change the dump and works 100%

1 success is better then i have had mate. i must have tried atleast 14 times now and everytime the car starts but the remote doesnt work. Yeh i make alot more money on ews keys aswell, i have done so many of those now i could do them blind folded. Where do you get your cas keys from mate? i got mine from here

it was a complete waste of money though and you have to buy a minimum of 5, i have lost so much money on these

thats not true mate, you do have to re-write the dump, its not possible to do it without re-writing it.

The TMPro works with what keys? where are you getting the keys from to work with this as i have tried many times and again the remote doesnt work for me. But yes TMPro is the best out there without a doubt

It is true, bmw CAS keys work like EWS keys. You have next keys data stored in CAS and when You order it by local dealer, master dealer write on key this data and send to Your local dealer. You put just it in ignition and should work. Bmw keycoder work on same rules, just make key like oredered from dealer.

Hence the reason we waiting for Advanced Diagnostics to finish BMW CAS Programming, expected to be released in next couple of months.
