New Special Function you can perform New RFA Replace with BCM is Locked.
Not to worry if BCM is locked. Simply Swap new RFA and adapt only without new BCM to Add keys to new RFA.
Why make life complicated when Topix Cloud or the Other Tools tell you the Latest Models cannot be done without first changing the BCM aswell as the RFA to make spare or lost keys then use the Lock50 HW04-C where new BCM is not required and only a new RFA is needed to make spare or Lost Keys.
If you went to a job where the RFA is missing in the Latest vehicles where the BCM is Locked and New RFA cannot be programmed for any reason this can help solve this car for you and get it started.
You need a new RFA to use this function for 21+ Cars which have been back to Dealerships for Software updates and cannot be programmed with others tools without first putting a new BCM in the Car. Also this will erase any lost keys Key ID still stored in BCM with the New Key ID you add to the newe RFA when programming.
Lock50 allow you to avoid messing with BCM or having to remove it and can program keys to a New RFA still with HW04 Lock50 obd tools and this function.
Can be ordered on demand for B or C packages of HW04 here or you can order the Unlimited Software function here.
RFA Software Downgrade.
New for all HW04-B or HW04-C users is to be able to downgrade the Firmwares in the New or Used RFA to able to adapt it without using HW03-A Clip adapter and MCU Programming Tools as was previously the only way to downgrade firmwares.
If RFA Software is is on a High Level to avoid updating GWM and BCM to Latest versions for faster programming of keys now u can downgrade it and adapt faster via OBD

PEPS Ultra-Wideband (UWB) Here's everything you need to know.
Ultra Wideband is a fast, secure and low power radio protocol used to determine location with accuracy unmatched by any other wireless technology. How is it going to change your business? What is so attractive about UWB that Apple decided to add it to iPhones? Here’s everything you need to know about Ultra-wideband technology that is going to revolutionise our world.
Ultra-wideband (also known as UWB, ultra-wide band and ultraband) is a short-range wireless communication protocol. It uses radio waves to enable devices to talk to each other. Sounds familiar? Yes, it is similar to Bluetooth but more precise, reliable and effective.
Although you may have heard about Ultra-wideband only in 2019 when Apple added UWB to iPhone but the technology has actually been around for decades. As early as 2002 U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) authorized the unlicensed use of UWB. UWB saw limited use in military radars and was even briefly used as a remote heart monitoring system. Back then the cost of implementation and lower than initially expected performance limited the use of UWB in consumer products. Today ultra-wideband chips are cheap and small enough to put them inside other devices like smartphones. Nowadays it is so precise that iPhone owner can now point his or her phone at a friends phone to transfer a file or photo.
What makes UWB so unique? It transmits data across short distances and precisely determines location by measuring how long it takes for a radio pulse to travel between devices. As the name suggests, it also uses a wider frequency. The frequency range of Ultra-wideband is between 3.1 and 10.6 GHz. There is one drawback which is its short range, but that doesn’t matter much when you have two devices that are in a room together.
hanks to its characteristics, UWB applications enable a lot of new services for consumers and enterprises like accurate indoor location & positioning, providing context aware information and precise analytics in real time (see UWB usecases).
Like Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, ultra-wideband is a wireless communication protocol that uses radio waves. A UWB transmitter sends billions of radio pulses across the wide spectrum frequency and a UWB receiver then translates the pulses into data. The same way bats use echolocation to sense their environment, UWB pulses can be used to sense distances between two transmitters. The shorter the duration of the impulse, the more precise the distance measurement will be. UWB achieves real-time accuracy because as it sends up to 1 billion pulses per second (about 1 per nanosecond).
UWB uses very low power and the high bandwidth (500MHz) is ideal for delivering a lot data from a transmitter to other devices. By sending pulses in patterns, UWB encodes information. It takes between 32 and 128 pulses to encode a single bit of data, but given how fast the bits arrive, that enables data rates of 7 to 27 megabits per second.
To increase UWB’s range and reception reliability, a MIMO (multiple-input and multiple-output), distributed antenna system has been added to the standard that enables short-range networks. The antennas can be embedded into a smartphone or other devices such as a wristband or smart key.
UWB can determine the relative position of other devices in the line of sight even up to 200 meters (656 feet) based on the IEEE 802.15.4a standard.
It is easy to get overwhelmed when choosing your own solution when there are so many different technologies to choose from. You may be asking yourself if UWB technology is actually better for your particular use case. Here is a summary of the main difference between UWB, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and RFID.
At first UWB and Bluetooth may sound very much the same. Bluetooth LE (BLE) is a low power radio system that has been used in beacons for ranging and measuring location, or at least that was the promise many beacon producers were trying to sell. BLE technology is relatively not expensive and easy to implement. The problem is that with Bluetooth you can’t really measure location or distance. What you can do is to detect if a device like a smartphone is within a range of another device (for example beacon). Why is that? With Bluetooth you can only distinguish whether a signal is weak or strong and translate it to being close or far from a device.
It’s really not the same as measuring precise distance or tracking location. Some solutions promise to convert that signal strength to a distance estimate but the problem with this approach is that signal strength is a poor indicator of distance. If signal strength is low, that doesn’t have to mean the phone is far from the beacon but there is an obstacle between the beacon and the phone. Bluetooth and Wifi operate on the same frequency of 2.4GHz therefore their signals are highly prone to noise interference, they can easily be reflected or absorbed resulting in inaccurate data and low responsiveness. You may try to create a walkaround and use a mesh of beacons in fixed locations to take signal measurements every few meters to mitigate the problem of interference and increase precision. But those measurements are costly, time consuming to implement and not precise.
Ultra-Wideband, in comparison, provides a much higher accuracy (up to a few centimeters). In contrast to Bluetooth Low Energy, the distance it measures is not based on the signal strength, but the time it takes the signal to travel from point A (smartphone) to point B (UWB tag). UWB range is shorter compared to Bluetooth. Because Ultra wideband frequency is 3.1–10.6GHz there is limited probability of any signal interference which is often a case with BLE.
However, there are certain things where BLE beacons are still the preferred solution. They have been on the market since 2013 and easily available. BLE based solutions are also cheap and easy to integrate with any existing systems. All smartphones do have bluetooth technology integrated in them which is not yet a case for UWB.

Geofencing uses GPS signals from satellites and cell phone towers to establish your proper location. GPS accuracy is limited to 5 meters at the best possible scenario. This accuracy is even worse if you are inside a building as GPS signals are weaker inside a closed building. Using GPS has a big impact on the battery life of your mobile device. Geofencing does not work indoors and that is where Ultra wideband comes into place. UWB is currently the most precise way to establish location indoors. UWB is not only more precise than GPS but also much faster.

NFC is a relatively inexpensive RFID technology that operates in the 13.56MHz band and is becoming much more popular due to its low cost and size. NFC has a range of just 4 centimeters (less than 2 inches) therefore it can only be used in certain scenarios and establishing a precise location is not of them.
RFID is not able to estimate the distance which is one of the most important advantages of UWB over other technologies. What it can do is to tell you that two objects are within 4 cm of each other and that’s all. Passive NFC tags do not require any battery and are often incorporated into key fobs, payment cards or devices. One of the most popular use cases for NFC is to use it for contactless payments with a smartphone. An NFC tag that is created in a smartphone is then read by NFC reader in POS to establish a secure connection and pay for a product.
It is likely that UWB will win over NFC in many use cases as it has all pros of NFC. The only disadvantage is that you must broadcast a UWB signal, so UWB tags are more expensive than passive RFID tags.

Wifi was the most common indoor-location technology before Apple announced iBeacon protocol in 2013. Wifi’s main advantage over UWB technology is its availability in public as well as private places all over the world. All smartphones are Wifi enabled as well which makes it a fairly easy choice for many companies.
The main Wifi disadvantage compared to UWB is the common approach to estimate distance or location by measuring only the signal strength. As described above for Bluetooth, signal strength is a poor indicator of distance. The accuracy of Wifi is limited to a few meters, which makes it unusable in many use cases. You can determine a room in which a worker is located in a factory building but you won’t be able to pinpoint his exact location.
WiFi requires much more power than UWB that is why all routers need to be plugged in to the power outlet at all times. Wifi routers are also much more expensive than cheap UWB tags nowadays.
While Wi-Fi has come a long way to allow greater accuracy in locating other devices and reducing the costs, UWB is more precise, uses less power and is much cheaper.

There are multiple aspects to discuss when analysing the safety of UWB technology. First of all the power of UWB pulses are 1/10000-1/100000 then those of signals emitted by mobile phones so it’s safe to be used by all people.
UWB has the ability to measure relative location of devices to levels of accuracy unmatched by any other wireless technology. When combined with highly secure, unique identifiers, it can protect vehicles from unauthorized access via two-factor authentication. A UWB enabled car can detect the presence of its owner, verify his identity and ensure that the communication between two objects, such as a car and its keys, is denied if the distance between them goes beyond a pre-defined threshold. This makes any fraud access really hard to perform if not impossible.
People also become more concerned about UWB used for background location tracking on their iPhones. The management of ultra-wideband use of location data is done entirely on the device. The location of the device is not collected by Apple, but locally by the iPhone itself.
With precise ranging UWB has an advantage in both precision and security over Bluetooth and WiFi and that advantage can be used in many different usecases. Based on FiRa Consortium initial focus is on three primary categories of use cases: hands-free access control; location-based services; and device-to-device (peer-to-peer) applications:
Prices for Ultra-wideband kits have started to decline rapidly in recent years. They have reached acceptable level for testing not only in enterprise environments (factory automation, asset-tracking) but also in a much wider consumer environment (retail, office).
The biggest disadvantage against UWB is that other technologies like Wifi or Bluetooth are able to interact with all today’s smartphones and tablets. But since Apple introduced UWB chip in its iPhone11 in 2019, UWB is expected to get into the mainstream really fast. Other smartphone makers are copying Apple and including UWB in their devices, and more importantly will include integration of UWB in location-aware electronics, wearable devices, and more.
Currently only the iPhone has a built-in UWB chip but it is just the beginning of an ultra wideband revolution as other smartphone manufacturers are soon going to follow. The first Android smartphones with Ultra Wideband technology will be released later in 2020, according to Barclays analysts. Consumer electronics giants like Samsung and Sony, chipmakers Decawave and NXP, carmakers Volkswagen, Hyundai, and Jaguar Land Rover, and car electronics powerhouse Bosch have all announced their work on new devices that support UWB. Apple has also patented the use of UWB, or ultra wideband, to recognize when you're approaching your car to unlock its doors.
It is also working on its own hardware called AirTags (iTag) that you will be able to attach to an object (like your keychain, wallet, or bag) and with your phone track the object’s location, perhaps even show you the location on-screen using Augmented Reality.
Although Apple supports UWB it has not yet opened the technology for other developers - this means that only apps that Apple created can take advantage of UWB. Enabling open access to UWB chip for all developers is something expected to happen later this year which will create a market of amazing apps powered with UWB location detection. According to Apple, “it’s like adding another sense to iPhone, and it’s going to lead to amazing new capabilities.”
UWB can potentially be used in everything from wireless printers to contactless payments. All this depends on finding that ‘killer app’ or function that makes it worth it. UWB doesn’t necessarily have to replace wifi, NFC, or Bluetooth—it can work with them.

SW-09 Is a sofware licence that works with the LOCK 50 TAG PRO tool HW01 . This software will enable users to add and program new LandRover and Jaguar keys known as Change ID Keys HW05 to HW10 and can be found here
The SW03 is Similar but with that you can only add Fixed ID Keys like in postion 3 or higher and must write back the MCU Dump to the MCU for KVM with 9S12XEP100
Here simply load the files Eeprom and Dflash & be able to copy exisiting keys ID postion 1 or 2 or Both on to the Change ID Keys and can be found here
With the SW09 its now possible to use slots 1 and 2 and be able to emulate them with HW02 for Emergency start only or with the RKE Keyless Functions as normal HW05 to HW10 Emulator keys.
This will mean for Cars that have TCU fitted and when u add keys to mcu dump the key info is missing in the BCM and TCU.
When u add keys via dump on these model with TCU only RF open close can work.
however when use the Copy option from the dump its possible to make copy of existing keys info in the KVM and then all works when u use HW05 to HW10 Lock50 Keys and can use emergency start Keyless and Remote functions for 2015 to 2020 higher secueitry models with TCU fitted.
Use Lock50 keys like HW05 and HW06
Or You Can can Supply Original OEM Keys to clients when you use the HW07 HW08 HW09 HW10
Firstly you need to use other devices to read out the D-Flash and EEE data in the KVM.
Then use Lock50 HW01 to generate new key and data on to your choosen Lock50 emulators & finally NO NEED TO wirte back to KVM new files as with SW09 as this does not add keys like the SW03 but only Emulates Exisitng Keys with full function that are present in the files.
Using Lock50 HW01 and our Lock50 Keys that emulate an existing key info from the data you have extracted from an existing KVM
SW 08- is a licence for the latest SPC564b64 BCM Module with a new ST MCU which is part of the MCU SPC5 family, using this has the benefit of being able to Emulate the key data on to the HW02 to be able to get ignition on by holding under steering.
The SW-08 licence
Firstly you need to use other devices to read out the SPC564b64 MCU
Then you can use the TagPro Key Programmer along with this licence to Emulate any key id in the system
Then use TagPro Key Programmer to open file and then be able to emualte any exisitng key on the HW02 Emulator
