Straightforward does not necessarily mean fast, although your point about the skill and the tool are valid.

[@incars1000]

you can also use a universal lockpick on the window, which is even faster

[@ggwp638BC]

It depends. If that was about a random padlock, yes, but car thieves tend to be way more specialized. It is a guaranteed product on the tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands. Of course I don't think lockpicking if fairly common since cars have alarms and other security systems, but if that is the optimal way to steal a BMW you can expect the average thug to be even faster.

[@octaviusmorlock]

So, it took about a minute with a Lishi to get open. I see this as an absolute win.

[@13g0man]

And you still have to deal with the electronic alarm and the immobiliser if you plan to steal it.

[@alexh3974]

For the LPL, about a minute is very good.

A lock that will keep LPL fussing around for 60 seconds before it opens is secure enough for anything I'm locking up.

Just when they think they'll be overwhelmed, LPL gets through...only to find another lock.

[@ytechnology]

Rumour has it that in part deux, the key is accidentally destroyed and LPL makes an entrance.

[@segalliongaming8925]

I remember locking the keys to my BMW Z4 in the trunk one time. This was about 11 years ago. I called a locksmith who could get into BMWs that utilized what was then known as “laser-cut keys.” At that time, I thought it’d be next to impossible for anyone, including a locksmith, to pick the lock. But this guy brought some custom tools, worked on my lock for about 15 minutes, and successfully did the job! It’s really funny to see that the LPL is able to pick such a lock in under a minute, though.

[@andrembl6491]

At that time, this type of tool did not exist.

[@reverse_engineered]

The "laser-cut" has to do with the transponder in the key. Many are "keyed" by using a precision trimmed resistor as part of a timing circuit. A laser is used to cut the resistor to exactly the correct size to get the desired resistance. You can't get that level of precision using the typical bulk methods of creating resistors which, at best, give +/- 1% accuracy.

[@Komainu959]

It's actually pretty impressive that you managed to lock the keys in the trunk. I've owned E34 and E39 BMWs and they were basically impossible to lock the key in the car and very hard to lock the key in the trunk...like open trunk, lock trunk with key, remove key, then toss it in the trunk lol.

[@scrwbl8]

All VAG have inner groove keys too, and can be opened and started with a antenna booster. That's how they all do it, since people got too lazy to put their key into the dash or steering column. They emptied my boss's M3 out, steering wheel, airbags, navigation, etc. Took 10mins no witnesses. Right in front of his house, on the driveway.

Great work, love the channel. Just to avoid confusion, that is a HU100R lock and pick. Hu100 is used in vehicles such as Opel/Vauxhall, GM.

[@JimYeats]

I think he was just shortening the name for brevity, as he showed us the tool and name the entire time he was picking. But yes, I understand they are for different cars.

[@neeniebob1]

@jimyeats I think it's more that he is not well versed in all of the lishi tools and auto keyway nomenclature yet. As I said, I am not criticising, I am pointing out that hu100 and hu100r are completely different keyways. I dont think the LPL was aware of this at the time and if he was it wouldn't be correct to shorten it's name in that way. There is also a 10 wafer hu100 and an 8 wafer hu100 version of lishi. But neither of them will help you pick a hu100r keyway.

[@Damoinion]

When I was doing AA roadservice, a very common callout was "keys locked in car". A few of the operators had their own sets of Lishi tools but we had to buy our own. I could never justify the expense as it was an after hours job for only a few hours per week. I did get to practice a bit with some of the other guys tools and found them great to work with. In saying that, I have opened that particular model of BMW and it took me around 15 to 20 mins! 🤣 In general, I found it easier and faster to use my air wedge and lockout kit. The only reason I tried picks on that car was that the owner did not want any forcing applied to the door frame or tools inserted past the door frame seals.

[@kikixchannel]

It's a matter of skill clearly. If there are option A and option B and you only trained in one of them, then whether it is superior or inferior, usually you will be better at it than in the other one by lone fact of having the experience. This affects everything that is highly skill-dependent. If you actually trained with the Lishi tools to 'master' them, you would probably have little issue unlocking doors in far shorter time and maybe it would take you less time than with the normal sets. Though, if it works for you, there's no real reason to change it I guess. I don't have the impression it's the kind of job where the method matters that much compared to the outcome, so as long as you don't leave damage with your preferred tools, it's all OK.

I had the same thing with my smart car. The keyway is never used and it even has a plug in it. The one day the battery died I had to use the key in it. The plug was completed rusted in to the keyway. We ended up having to pry out the plug and busting up part of the trim around the keyway in the process.

[@Rollermonkey1]

I actually have a very similar key for my BMW i4, but the location for the lock's keyway may make the picking more challenging. To access the keyhole, you need to lift the door handle and hold it up. This seems like it would make tensioning the lock more difficult since the tension bar would be pointed down away from the handle. I guess someone could figure out some sort of device to hold the handle up, but then the picking would still be awkward since the tension bar is opposite where it's typically practiced being used. May be one of those cases where an alternative means of access would prove more viable than specialty picks and customized assistance devices... Like a large rock.

My 2016 Chevy van has a lock like that. I had to replace the ignition switch and to do that the ignition lock has to come out. It's also a wafer lock that seemed almost comical. Very cheap. The van also won't do anything unless you have a real key. Electronic ignition switch sensor. Be sure to note the timing on the ignition switch gear. You'll need to get that right to start the truck again. I must have tried 6 or 7 times before I got that right. BTW, if you own a 2015+ GM van and it's giving you trouble starting, replace the ignition switch and start with the relays under the hood. So far I've had 3 relays go bad. Since then, it's as good as gold. Window relay went bad first. Ignition and EGR relay went bad later. You also can't buy them at the auto store. Make sure you have spares.

[@ianbritstone1085]

Locksmiths use this tool to open and make mechanical keys to the lock. There are many immobiliser systems in these vehicles. EWS was the first, that had several versions, then there was CAS then FEM. Transponders/remotes could be generated using a variety of tools these vehicles, until the G-series of vehicles approx.. 2018ish. At this time only dealer keys can be obtained in a lost or extra key situation. Even relay attacks are thwarted as the proximity keys shut down when they are not being moved about. Along with Mercedes FBS4 these are the most electronically secure of vehicles. IMHO

I have a BMW car and a couple of BMW motorcycles. The motorcycles use the same type of lock for the ignition cylinder. About a year or so ago, I was at the beach with one of my BMW motorcycles where I accidentally locked the key in the under seat storage compartment. To open the compartment, I needed that key for the ignition cylinder that also doubles to open the storage compartment and gas cap. Contacted a locksmith who came out to try to pick the lock. He spent maybe a 30 seconds on it and gave up. At that point, the thought ran through my head that LPL would have been able to pick this lock. Ended up having to get AAA to flat bed my bike back to my house.

I once locked my keys in my 2018 F250... while it was running... out in Nowhere, TX. Worst part... I had my Ford door code stored on my phone... but my phone was in the truck too! This was at 10:30 at night. Luckily I had one get-out-of-jail-free locksmith call via my extended warranty (IIRC) but it took the guy an hour to get there. He used an inflatable bag to pry open the door a crack, then stuck a stick in and opened the door. Lesson: write your code on a card and keep it in your wallet, if you have a wallet. Or... tattoo it to your hand. Ford could not give me the code on the phone.

Hey LPL I have a question. I've seen there are a variety of Lishi tools on Covert Instruments. My question is how do you know/decide on which Lishi to use on a specific lock? Is it just trial and error? Do you look at the core and then know from that which Lishi it is? How would you do it non-destructively in that case? Thanks.

[@UKCougar]

Is it just me whose heart sinks a little at a Lishi Tool video? They look great and all, but they're north of fifty quid a pop and there's dozens of different ones. That's well out of reach of anyone but a professional locksmith or a _really_ dedicated locksporter. I'd love to see videos showing both techniques, the Lishi and then conventional picks. That's gotta be a marketing spin right, see how much easier / faster the Lishis are? Mind you, in LPL's hands perhaps not... 😁

You can pick it all you want. Unless you know how to reprogram these cars and you can bypass the CAS along with EWS modules or make another key module for it, you will never drive away with it. Doable, but requires a massive skillset and tools. Older ones, 2006 and under are a bit easier to drive away with if you don’t have a proper key for it.

Beat Mazda's back in the 90's. There you just needed another mazda door key. I had one and so did my parrents, a friend also had one and all used the same door key. So then I locked my keys in the car at mall and saw some guy getting into an mazda I asked him if I could borrow his key to unlock the door.

Carlocks are almost all ridiculously simple on the inside. It’s the electronic part (sensors etc) that make them somewhat safe.

[@morgantrevino4881]

The car alarm will sound if the door opens without a key fob within range. This is only a useful attack if there’s high value loot inside the car such as a dash cam or radar detector attached conspicuously to the windshield. Best way to not get your car broken into is to not leave anything valuable in sight.

Hi, can you use HU92 or need to be HU100R???

[@MrJamesshipman]

As a bmw mechanic. Yeah they don't really expect you to use the key to open the door. It's more of a backup if the fob died. Fyi "double locking" will disable the door lock. Only allowing the key fob to work.

[@MikkoRantalainen]

It seemed like that wafer lock actually had multiple false gates or serrations! So even though they went with simplest possible lock design, they still put some effort to it to make it as hard to pick as possible for the design.

[@keithweiss7899]

Very nice! Thank you!

Working in automotive for 15yrs I ALWAYS thought German cars with their key style must be easy to break into. They all have the same outer size and only the middle groove/track is the "key" part. Always seemed like it would be super easy (with practice) to pick the lock

[@NewliverNewlife]

I still have a anti car theft device I’d like you to try. Never been defeated as far as I know.

[@rpm2dayg648]

Which caliber is it?

Thanks for teaching the world how to steal my car 🥰

My partner says "little click out of three" to get me in the mood.

Lishi pick is just a cheat code at this point

[@CraigGood]

Starting around 1976 BMW started enclosing the locking mechanism in a box so that the cars were impossible to slim-jim. Lock your keys in the car? Call an expensive locksmith -- or break a window. At the time pretty much all American cars could be jimmied open easily.

[@nanaki-seto]

All locks are pick able or can be destroyed. They are only something to delay entry to slow the person down. Technically a cars doors don't much matter how strong or good the lock it entry is a broken window away

[@NemanjaRajic]

I would like to have had one of those when I recently locked my keys in trunk. Local locksmith could not kome that day and I was abroad, so I went in pharmacy, got some old type blood preasure meter, stuck it between door frame and chasy, opened a bit and fished opening lach with some piece of wire I found... Took me 2 hours...

[@MacMalcyMac]

In other words. "I, LPL, am not liable for any related theft." Lol

[@camronbay1]

I use the Turbo Decoders on these locks it works fast.

[@zxggwrt]

These cars are a pain if all you have is the fob and the battery is dead. Getting the hood open is a real chore.

[@TekZulu]

I have a 2017 VW Passat with a similar looking key but there is no cylinder in the way you have it here, you shove the key in from the bottom and you don't turn it at all. I'd love to see you pick a lock like that some time since it doesn't operate the same way most locks do. (You'd probably have to find the whole door handle for this since you probably would need to tention it with the door handle I supose)

[@bernds6587]

Never heard about that. As far as I know, there is a small hole beneath, but it is used to pry open the cover next to the handle. And behind that cover is an ordinary cylinder like all VWs had in the past

[@TekZulu]

@@bernds6587 Oh that might be it. I honestly never used it and had assumed that it was some weird kind of lock. Thanks for the info
