2.Overview
2.1. Noun explanation
BMW: Bayerische Motoren Werke
EWS: Immobox used in earlier BMW cars
CAS: Car Access System(40 unit), mainly include CAS1(0K50E), CAS2(2K79X),
CAS3(0L01Y), CAS3+(0L15Y, 0M23S), CAS4(1L15Y, 5M48H), this document will
only use CAS1, 2, 3, 3+, 4, 4+ to express, don’t write detail mask. If document have
detail mask indicates the special explain to this type
FEM/BDC: BMW after 2014 parts of new models with latest immobox
OBDII method: connect VVDI2 to car with OBDII interface
CAS Plug: It is not a standard device, need buy for extra. Communication with CAS
through CANBUS 100Kbps
CAS3+ encrypt version: Sometimes we call CAS3++. When the car (not encrypt
version) start, CAS will verify key, engine will verify CAS. But for CAS3++ type,
engine will verify key in addition. So add key for this type need working key or ISN
support. For the above reason, the introduction for CAS3+ is also applicable for
CAS3+ encrypt version. Expect write no applicable for CAS3+ encrypt version
ISTAP Version: Strictly, ISTAP belong to CAS3+ encrypt version, the only different is
that we cannot read CAS immodata by OBDII for ISTAP version. Fortunately, we can
OBDII read ISTAP CAS immodata by update CAS flash. VVDI-BMW update ISTAP
version flash only need 10 minutes. So the introduction for CAS3 encrypt version also
applicable for ISTAP version, expect write not applicable for ISTAP
ISN: Identification Serial Number, this value use to verify engine with key. 16 bytes
CAS3+ encrypt version(not ISTAP) SN: 9226238, 9227053, 9237046, 9237047
ISTAP version SN: 9262360, 9262361, 9278745, 9278746, 9287534, 9287535,
9267608, 9267609
CAS4+: Parts of F series chassis immo system
FEM/BDC: New model of F series chassis immo system
All Key Lost: The car lost all working key, there is big different from add key with
working key. Note: before OBDII communication, you need open dangerous light,
press on the brakes for several times to active OBD communication

working key. Sometimes add new key for CAS1/CAS2/CAS3 will lost synchronization
code, then you can run this operation, see Special Note 2
Synch CAS-ELV: Synchronize CAS and ELV, This function can be run once ELV has
error; Sometimes add new key for CAS1/CAS2/CAS3 will cause ELV error，then you
can run this operation, see Special Note 2
Key Learn: Detail can be found in chapter 5 Key Learn
Special Note 1: Read/Write EWS now support 0D46J mask and 2D47J mask. EWS
support read EEPROM, write EEPROM, File Make Key, File Change KM etc
Special Note 2: Sometimes add new key for CAS1/CAS2/CAS3 will cause car not
start, you need synchronize DME and CAS, synchronize CAS and ELV, insert
original key to ignition switch, run this 2 operation one by one, take key off,
insert again and try to start. If not start, try this again until car start. If you get
error in synchronize progress, ignore and continue
