Mini Immobiliser & Key Systems

Classic Mini models from around 1996–2000 commonly used Lucas 2-button remote systems as part of the immobiliser setup. These remote fobs can usually be programmed quickly using specialist equipment.

After BMW acquired the Mini brand in 2000, the security systems became significantly more advanced.

Mini adopted BMW’s EWS immobiliser platform (Elektronische WegfahrSperre – Electronic Drive Away Protection). These systems use pre-coded transponder chips, meaning every Mini key is uniquely programmed to the vehicle and cannot simply be copied using conventional key programming methods.

Earlier BMW-era Mini models with 2-button and 3-button blade keys use EWS immobiliser systems with BMW type 73 rolling-code transponders. In many cases, the EWS4 module located above the accelerator pedal must be removed and programmed directly using EEPROM programming techniques.

This process allows us to:

• Add spare Mini keys
• Program replacement remote fobs
• Delete lost or stolen keys from the immobiliser memory
• Create new working keys even when all keys are lost

Mini CAS & Dash Slot Keys

From around 2006 onwards, Mini introduced the CAS (Car Access System) immobiliser platform along with the well-known dash slot remote key system.

These round Mini remote fobs slot directly into the dashboard ignition pod and require advanced BMW/Mini diagnostic and programming software.

We supply and program:

• Mini CAS remote keys
• Mini dashboard slot keys
• Mini emergency key blades
• Latest Mini F-Series smart keys

Even in all-keys-lost situations, we can usually supply and program replacement Mini keys at your location without dealership delays.
