Autel Adds BDC03 Support: Program Keys for 2020+ BMW G-Series

AUTEL has released a major upgrade to its immobilizer programming capabilities, expanding the powerful BMW G-Chassis Add Key function to include vehicles equipped with the BDC03 module (model years 2020–2024).

With this update, professional locksmiths and automotive technicians can now program and learn keys for almost the entire lineup of modern BMW vehicles — models that were previously beyond the tool’s coverage. This enhancement greatly increases service opportunities and potential revenue.

Owners of Autel MaxiIM IM508S or IM608 Pro2 can now take advantage of this upgrade to perform key programming and learning on the latest BMW models.

Full List of  Supported BMW BDC03 Models (2020–2024)

Note: Partial keys means that even if the vehicle’s model year falls within the listed range, some vehicles may still not be supported. During the operation, on-screen prompts will indicate under which conditions the success rate is higher.
