Car keys · Stuttgart
Send the vehicle details, information about existing keys and the exact symptoms. MG AutoTech assesses the enquiry before suggesting a possible next step.
In brief
Smart Key, Keyless-Go and IMMO are separate topics for enquiries. The links lead to relevant sections on this page, related service pages or the enquiry form; feasibility is assessed only for the specific vehicle.
Assess key recognition, existing keys and the specific vehicle system first.
Key / IMMODescribe passive entry, remote locking and start authorisation as separate symptoms.
Key / IMMOFor start-authorisation or immobiliser problems, assess the system condition, not just the key.
Key / IMMOAssess an explicitly requested deactivation only after checking the cause, authorisation, technical conditions and intended use.
Key / IMMOPreliminary checks of BMW start authorisation and ECU communication, without assuming a module fault.
Key / IMMOThe vehicle details and documents required are clarified in advance for each case.
Distinguish the symptoms correctly
Smart Key refers to different key and convenience functions depending on the vehicle. Preliminary assessment therefore requires the model, year of manufacture, existing keys and the vehicle’s exact response.
Only after this identification can the issue be attributed to the key, radio function, start authorisation or a control unit. Key housing or model name alone does not establish that programming is possible.
If passive entry fails but the remote still works, that is a different symptom from a key that is not recognised at all. Working entry also does not prove that starting is authorised.
Describe which door or function is affected, whether messages appear and whether a second key behaves differently. This helps narrow down the next checks without prematurely replacing the key or control unit.
When start authorisation is missing, key recognition, power supply, communication and the control units involved may need checking. A single symptom does not prove an immobiliser fault.
MG AutoTech does not publish or provide bypass instructions. Proof of ownership, vehicle details and diagnosis without bypass procedures remain the basis of every legitimate enquiry.
Depending on the BMW series, CAS, FEM or BDC may be involved in key recognition, start authorisation and vehicle functions. Assessment requires the series, year of manufacture, messages, existing keys and control-unit communication.
Naming a module is not a promise of compatibility or repair. Coding, adaptation, key issues and a possible ECU fault are distinguished only after assessing the actual vehicle condition.
Enquiry process
Provide the make, model, year of manufacture and number of existing keys.
Describe the spare-key request or remote, keyless, starting or IMMO problem as precisely as possible.
You will be told in advance which details or evidence are required for the enquiry.
A possible next step is suggested only after the individual case has been assessed.
Preparation
A photo of the full warning message or existing key may also help. Send sensitive documents only once MG AutoTech has confirmed what is needed and the appropriate contact channel.
Next step
Send the basic details or use the structured enquiry form. This page does not make a blanket promise that work can be carried out or is feasible.
