| 434 MHz · IYZBK1 | 2021–2023 (LCI / end-of-life builds, all markets) — restore prior value; separately, the G30/G31 attribution of IYZBK1 itself needs verification before any year window is trusted | IYZBK1 | 66125A40687 | ID49 HITAG-Pro (NXP PCF7953V) + UWB digital-key co-radio | 434 MHz | CR2032 | HU100R |
Programming procedures
What the job needs
- Add a key: 1 existing working key required.
- All keys lost: no existing working key needed.
- PIN / security code: required — NASTF + VVDI BMW + dealer.
- Online / server access: required — BMW cloud token for BDC2.
- On-board (no tool) sequence: not available — BMW 5 Series BMW BDC2 requires professional tool + bench EEPROM — no self-programming.
- On site: engine off · 100A+ battery support · Clear CAS/FEM DTCs.
- Bring: Photo ID + vehicle registration. VIN cross-check before start.

Notes & cautions
- This chassis BMW 5 Series uses BMW BDC2 (2017-2023) — G/U/I chassis era with NXP HITAG-PRO ID49. Newest BMW security; Xhorse VVDI BMW Tool + BDC2 module, Autel IM608 + IMKPA BMW cloud token (~$5-15/session). G/U/I-chassis 2024+ increasingly dealer-bound — verify before booking.
- BMW smart proximity or remote head key: ensure existing key fob battery is functional before starting.
- Verify chip before booking (this chassis facelift): BMW EWS/CAS-2 (pre-2007) → CAS3/CAS3+ (2007-2013) → FEM/BDC (2014-2018 F-chassis) → BDC2 (2018+ G/U/I-chassis). Some 2007-2009 facelifts shipped with mid-cycle CAS swap; confirm transponder ID and ECU code from a working key with Xhorse VVDI BMW Tool reader before quoting.
- Tool kit context: Autel G-Box (G-Box3 specifically) is MANDATORY for FEM/BDC EEPROM bench dump — no OBD-only path. Xhorse VVDI BMW Tool + CAS3/FEM/BDC module is the dominant aftermarket. APB112 simulator, IMKPA Toyota module NOT applicable. LKE Smart Key Emulator unused on BMW. XP400 PRO for IPC/ECM bench fallback.
- All existing keys erased. Bring ALL replacement keys before starting — minimum 2.
- No manual AKL for BMW 5 Series BMW BDC2 — professional tool mandatory.
- BMW BDC2 AKL needs ISN extraction + bench EEPROM dump (Autel G-Box / VVDI Prog / XPROG3) on most chassis.
- Keep all existing/lost key fobs at least 10 metres from vehicle during AKL.
- AKL accessory needs: Autel G-Box bench EEPROM (G-Box3 for FEM/BDC) is CRITICAL on F/G chassis. Xhorse VVDI Prog for bench dump fallback. IMKPA + cloud token for newest BDC2. APB112 simulator NOT applicable. LKE Smart Key Emulator unused on BMW. XP400 PRO for IPC bench fallback.
Lockout
Door pick / decode: Lishi HU92 (CCW).
