- Efficient Key Generation: Generate dealer keys quickly and effortlessly with just a few clicks.
- Minimized Inventory: Reduce the need for extensive key stock.
- Unlock Module Token Option: For locked RFAs and BCMs, tokens are available to bypass module replacement, requiring the HW01, HW04, HW03C, and HW14 key.
How to Use the Lock 50 HW04-A Key Programmer
The Lock 50 HW04-A is designed for simplicity:
-
Connect to OBD Port: Connect the HW04-A tool to the vehicle’s OBD port using the provided cable.

Alternative Solutions for Locked Modules
For vehicles with locked RFAs (Remote Function Actuators) or BCMs (Body Control Modules):
- HW04-B: Program a new RFA when the existing one is locked.
- HW04-C: Program keys without replacing modules, even on locked RFAs and BCMs. Both HW04-B and HW04-C require the HW01 (Alarm Off Tool) for upgrades.
Subscription and Token Costs
The Lock 50 system requires an annual subscription of $750. Tokens for bypassing module replacement on locked vehicles cost $650 for one key and $800 for two keys. Remember that tokens necessitate the HW01, HW04, HW03C, and HW14 keys. Unlocking modules is free for the vast majority of vehicles with unlocked modules.
Technical Support
The Lock 50 programmer includes support for two vehicle uses or one hour of technical assistance. Comprehensive tech support resources are available online at https://www.lock50usa.com/pages/tech-support. Addressing pre-existing vehicle damage is not covered by the included tech support.
The Lock 50 programmer with HW04-A significantly streamlines JLR key programming. Its user-friendly interface, broad compatibility, and efficient key generation capabilities make it a valuable tool for automotive professionals. The option to bypass module replacement with tokens offers further flexibility and cost savings.
