Since our Mini was stolen from our driveway I have been trawling the web to understand whether there is a keyfob cloning device in the public domain. I have found a Chinese supplier who has just sent this response:
[color="Blue"][b]Dear Roger,
Thanks for your reply.For BMW MINI 2007,New BMW key programmer can not do it.You need to buy
ABCD (edited-out) key programmer
Supplier details edited out on request
Does anyone know if this kit does work? And can you buy blank transponder keyfob ready for cloning?
If this does work, then the key used to steal the car could have been cloned when it went for servicing three weeks earlier.
Your informed views would be very much appreciated
