⚠️ Critical Warning for Used Keys

Before purchasing a used OEM Mini key, be aware of the following:

1. Locked Status: Mini keys are "locked" to the original car's VIN. Unlike some other brands, most automotive locksmiths cannot "unlock" or "re-flash" a used Mini key to work with a new car.

2. Dealer Policy: Most BMW/Mini dealerships will refuse to program a used key. They typically only program brand-new keys ordered specifically for your VIN from the factory in Germany.

3. Specialist Requirement: To use a used key, you must find a highly specialized BMW/Mini locksmith who can perform EEPROM programming (which involves reading data directly from the car's BDC/CAS module). This is often more expensive than just buying a new key.
