i don't like the Mini cas. At all.
So.. i'm doing research
Can i ask some feedback, experience..etc
i'd like to minimize the risk and it seems the autohex pricey but worth it
thx

Not quite true. I'm currently having some stress with a CAS based Mini, 2013.
Looks like it got updated at the dealers last year. Clever person blocked all but the first two keys. Then sold the car. New customer lost all keys. Then ordered a dealer key but it will not start car. Cannot unblock the keys, as need a working key to do this. Cannot read the ECU ISN on the car, MEV 17.2.2. Software gets to 10% and then says 100% then no ISN, yes hazard light and break pedal, etc. So either I'm doing something wrong or there is a problem.
Also currently got a problem with a BDC based 2014 Mini I'm working on. Cannot read the secret info from the BDC, even with the ISN. Hopefully the imminent update will fix this. Yes, I know BDC cracking is new tech, just not sure I'll do another one for a while with the way this one is going.
I'm not saying that Autohex isnt the best tool out there, but to say you wont have any problems is perhaps an overreach. I've done lots of keys to CAS based BMW that AVDI struggled with. Let alone ECU, ABS and CAS swaps that would not have been possible without Autohex.
i don't expect the perfect tool
I saw the mikrotonic videos, read the manuals...forum etc. But I would be more interested in what is not written
CAS3+ encypted functions The usual way is downgrading the cas firmware. As i see there is one button downgrade and upgrade (with PSU of course)
But there is a big warning
Let's assume there is a tricky version Mini stopped under the downgrade. (avdi, cgdi, vvdi..something) They towed into my shop. How can i bring back with autohex?Always make backup using tools like BDM before doing CAS firmware for these part numbers

I dont have a lot of experience with the problem you mention. It depends on where things got interrupted I think.
If module gives a part number, and you have the ISN, I'd expect Autohex to recover it by OBD. I've coded 2nd hand module, updated flash and changed VIN on CAS and other modules without problems.
If no part number by OBD, I'd think you need to flash the module with a programmer, and then ISN to ECU. Then coding from backup module.
I doubt dealer keys will work in future if the key data was damaged, but certainly you should be able to make a key to start it with Autohex.
Im sure more knowledgeable people will point out errors in this.....
Looks like my problem with the Mini 2014 BDC got fixed in the last big update. Car starts broom broom!
Anyone planning the update should allocate an hour as its a complete uninstall/reinstall, inc all BMW data.
New to some .. not to others I guess ..

How much is this package, where can i find it?
because it is LITE version, does that mean it will still do all CAS3 work and encryption add keys etc, downgrade if needed etc.
Here are all packages available...
