What is Vehicle and Key Memory (CKM)?

E60 Coding options list. 16 thoughts on “ E46 Key Programming- AK90 Guide ” Silenc3 says: May 30, 2014 at 12:54 am. Can reset the adaptations needed after an e46 m3 smg clutch change. Enable auto rear window defogger for GM5 module on BMW E46. E46 general module coding is possible. Can perform the dynamic drive reset for a 2002 745. Reset the transfer case oil wear indicator on BMW e83.

On customer request, various vehicle settings can be changed by means of coding on certain E-model series (e.g. E46, E6X). Some settings (Key) are allocated to a certain key (max. four keys), e.g. heating/air conditioning/ventilation while other settings (Vehicle) apply globally to the entire vehicle, e.g. antitheft alarm system.

  1. Only try the button when the key isn't working (if you see what I mean) I tried it a few times until the key didn't work, then the button failed as well. When the key works, so does the button.
  2. Programming a New Key from Scratch These instructions are for programming a new key when you do not have a working key fob. Insert key into the ignition and turn it to position 1 and back rapidly 5 times. Remove the key 3. Hold the unlock button and press the BMW logo 3 times, then release the unlock button.

Vehicle and Key Memory settings can be selected under the “CKM” tab after determining the native measures plan in the “Vehicle” menu.

Note:

Due to different legal stipulations, there may be national differences in possible CKM settings. Factory settings may also vary from country to country.

Note:

When replacing control modules, it may happen that individual data in the CKM settings are not automatically restored. Before replacing a control module, the CKM settings in the vehicle must be printed out so that these can be restored after the control module has been replaced.

On these model series, all Vehicle and Key Memory functions are programmed directly in the vehicle (please refer to “Personal Profile” in the Owner’s Manual: individual settings for a maximum of 3 remote control units via the display in the instrument cluster or via the Central Information Display).

The procedure for programming the Vehicle and Key Memory is described below. The basic prerequisite is that all control modules on a vehicle are programmed to the current software status:

Two or more parameter keywords (e.g. active, inactive) are assigned to a function or a function keyword. The current setting is shown by a selected checkbox next to the parameter keyword and can be changed by the service technician. Key functions can be set individually for the max. 4 keys. The factory setting is represented by a corresponding symbol next to the parameter keyword.

The CKM functions are divided into a maximum of three levels of hierarchy. Main group (e.g. central locking), group (e.g. unlocking rear window, boot/rear lid) and an optional subgroup (e.g. lids after ignition on).

Note:

You can print out the set CKM values. Printing out the CKM settings could cause values that have been entered in the list but not yet stored in the vehicle to be lost,making it necessary to re-enter them. It is advisable to print out the CKM settings at the start of programming and if necessary immediately after completing CKM reprogramming.

Note:

The selected settings for the Vehicle and Key Memory are retained even when the control modules are reprogrammed or encoded. If the CKM backup or restore cannot be successfully performed, this will be seen in the final report.
