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.
Just imagine you had something like a car attached to the other end of the lock and wouldn't need to set it up in a vice... All the saved time on picking... :P
I just watched the latest Mission Impossible movie and the entire plot is centered around acquiring a key to unlock something and I couldn't help but think through the entire movie, "Why not just send in LPL? Would make this whole thing a whole lot easier!"
The IM team has an "impossible" lock, so they bring in the LPL. He estimates that it will probably take him 5 minutes or so even at his skill level. Unfortunately for him, there are all sorts of deadly assassins and machines that the IM team will need to keep off of him while he works. Just when they think they'll be overwhelmed, LPL gets through...only to find another lock.
Wow! That wasn't "quick!" It took LPL just over 60 seconds, and that's with the tool that makes it easier *and* with LPL's experience/skill! His time for an average lock is usually around half as long!
Have had several BMWs in the past and always wondered how on earth anyone picked them. Always felt extra safe, since it was a German designed, premium looking lock. I’m just glad he didn’t bring out a “wafer lock raking tool found on covert instruments”!
For manuals: pop the gear in N, unset the parking brake, and roll it onto a flat bed. Wear safety vests and nobody will realize you're stealing the car.
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.
@@cyan_oxy6734 They often share suppliers like Bosch. Not sure if the do for the locks though. They do use the style lock at least. LPL is using a HU100 here and the similar HU66 works for VAG products.
@@urlor_jkron Usually they do share the same subset of suppliers, unless it's a special model that they want to promote, like Mercedes have tried to promote their anti-theft measures where they may go out of their way to get non-shelf parts or do things in house. Bu in the vast majority of cases it's the same subset of suppliers being used by most groups within the same regions. Also due to how these suppliers are used to handling the supply chain systems for automakers, smoothes things out.
My guess is this is the same lock used on all the F chassis cars and potentially the entire BMW range around 2014. However, the chances of a thief in my city knowing how to pick a lock is minimal.... They'll just smash the window and bank on the slow police response (or no police response at all).

I did roadside for a few years and keys locked in car was so common, we all feared BMW locks, not because they were any harder to pick than others, but because they were often stuffed. they're really not designed to be used.
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.

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.
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.
Takes about as long to get in to a BMW with a rod and air bladder through the top of the door frame as long as the battery has enough voltage. Don't have to worry about the alarm that way either.
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
These cars are easier to steal via software defined radio. Also, that lock is from a 335/340i not an M3. F8x M3 was not available in Estoril Blue II which is what this is painted. Not that it matters because it’s the same lock, but in the interest of accuracy.
I am a BMW M4(F83) owner and I thought the exact same thing but after doing a little research I discovered that apparently there is a 2014 model that was only sold in Germany before they introduced it to North America in 2015 model year.

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. He tough I was crazy but agreed, he unlocked the door to his shock it unlocked. Showed him car registration papers and driving license to show I owned the car but he was just looking at the key :)
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.
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
I remember some cars used to be extremely easy to open with just your regular house key. Not going to mention any brands, but the door locks of cars were pretty awful in the 1980's-90's.
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
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.
👍👌👏 again and as always. Thanks a lot for making teaching explaining recording editing uploading and sharing. Best regards, luck and health in particular.
My uncle told me about an "exploit" on previous generations of BMWs that exploited the safety feature that unlocks the doors if the vehicle detects a sharp enough jolt to indicate a crash. Broadly-speaking that feature is probably a positive addition, except when a would-be thief can release the door locks by whacking the towing eyelet with a lumphammer! I don't recall why this was preferred over smashing the window with the hammer, possibly because it looks less suspicious than a broken window if the goal is to steal the car, or possibly because it didn't trigger the alarm if it was done correctly.
Most modern BMW's have keyless entry & engine start, even if you got in the door the most you could do is take some valuables you couldn't start the engine
The 5 series bmws use a different style lock then the three series, at least they did in 2002. I own both a 3 and a 5, the 5 series seems to have a dual sided key instead of the central groove.
Slightly OT I guess but I am a fan of the Guardian newspaper's WORDIPLY game where each day you have to suggest the longest word possible from given starting letters . So yesterday the starting sequence was ROTA. I instantly thought "counterrotations" which was acceptable and actually a full 4 more letters than the longest word game itself had predicted. I got a big Well Done emoji but LPL deserves all the credit...
The only function of that lock is for when the battery in the car or fob is flat. Certainly did its job, anyone else would break a window or electronically manipulate the secsystem.
I don't know if you already do this- but I think it would be a great service to your viewers if at least once a year you made a RECOMENDATIONS video. Door locks, padlocks, bike locks, etc., that you yourself would use (currently available , of course)- make whatever disclaimer you feel comfortable with and help your viewers make better buying decisions, Thanks!
Companies - Look at my fancy looking key and lock. It's cool and it's secure, no one will be able to get in. LPL - Shows their vulnerability and picks it in less than a 1 minute Companies - Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu********************K. How much money did we spend developing this?
Locksmith I work IT for says the hardest auto locks to pick are Lexus, and Jaguar is the easiest. The irony is Lexus has an ordinary looking key that costs very little for the dealer to cut while Jaguar has/had a custom Tribbe key that turns out to be hilariously expensive to cut and embarrassingly easy to defeat.
Although very impressive to watch, this demonstration lock pick is conducted in lab conditions, with the lock mechanism held in an optimum position in the vice. It would be interesting to see it conducted on an actual vehicle which would offer much less access to hands and fingers around the lock. I've no doubt that LPL could do it, however it would make the demonstration more realistic.
I’m a big fan of your videos. I own a 2016 BMW M4 so I was surprised to see the title of this video a 2014 M3 lock. To my knowledge, the 2014 model year M3 was only produced and sold in Germany and was not available in North America until the 2015 model year. I was curious how you came across the lock for a 2014? Did one of your German fans send it to you?
I've got a mini which same systems etc as BMW, I remember trying out the emergency key to make sure it works to be hit with the alarm blasting because it doesn't deactivate the alarm using the key 😂 quickly trying to press unlock on the keyfob so even if you pick it, good luck trying to steal it without making a shit load of attention or have a laptop to hack it etc
Don't forget, like all newer BMWs have GPS through the app. So they are easy to find anytime Almost impossible to steal one for very long. Good luck with that.
Having owned an '08 BMW, I have no idea how you'd accidentally lock your keys in your car (it can tell whether your fob is inside or outside the car). On purpose...maybe? Honestly, one of the things I liked most about the car, the key fob never left my pocket. Drastically cuts down on the chances of dropping, losing, or locking up my car keys.
I don’t want a bmw because I don’t want to take out a second mortgage to pay for oil changes. I am surprised you have not made a video about Kia and Hyundai models
Great channel, interesting videos. But please answer this question. You are shown a lock like this, you do not have the key. Which tool do you use to open it? How many "pins"? Which Lishi tool do you select from the dozens available?
Interesting. Because you can’t lock the key in the car. It won’t lock when it senses the key inside vs outside. But if it’s locked and the battery goes dead this would be useful.
Easiest way to not lock your keys in the car is make sure all the doors are unlocked before you shut them, and only lock them with the key after they're shut; gone the entire time I've been driving (6 years so far) without locking my key in the car once with this approach, and I tend to be a very forgetful person

LPL says it’s fairly straightforward to attack, but at his skill level and with a special tool it still took over a minute. That seems pretty secure…
And even older cheaper bmw models have a similar lock. Good job bmw
Straightforward does not necessarily mean fast, although your point about the skill and the tool are valid.
@@cud0seven Opel from 10 years earlier than that have a similar lock and there isn't anything premium about them

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.

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.
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.
"a fairly ohdinary"
I love when the accent slips!
Lishi picks have to be every lock makers worst nightmare.
Wow i never knew how nice my neighbor's car is thanks 👍
In other words. "I, LPL, am not liable for any related theft."
Lol
Great video!
thank you so much, I'll go try it out.
Dang, it looks similar to my backup key. Congrats on your new M3. Lol
God damnit, I just bought a 2014 BMW X5 and the key is extremely similar to that. Good to know I won't have my car for long.
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
Basically all car looks will require this tool
The keyless entry on modern cars is a dream come true for car stealing criminals 😅😅😅
I use the Turbo Decoders on these locks it works fast.
Li Zhiqin is the tool developer imaged on the tool. A master.
That's a mass manufactured lock made in the millions and sold to many car company's in bulk.
I remember some cars used to be extremely easy to open with just your regular house key. Not going to mention any brands, but the door locks of cars were pretty awful in the 1980's-90's.
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
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.
Bro definitely just sold his M3
Great video!😸
Good morning
👍👌👏 again and as always. Thanks a lot for making teaching explaining recording editing uploading and sharing. Best regards, luck and health in particular.
My uncle told me about an "exploit" on previous generations of BMWs that exploited the safety feature that unlocks the doors if the vehicle detects a sharp enough jolt to indicate a crash. Broadly-speaking that feature is probably a positive addition, except when a would-be thief can release the door locks by whacking the towing eyelet with a lumphammer! I don't recall why this was preferred over smashing the window with the hammer, possibly because it looks less suspicious than a broken window if the goal is to steal the car, or possibly because it didn't trigger the alarm if it was done correctly.
Most modern BMW's have keyless entry & engine start, even if you got in the door the most you could do is take some valuables you couldn't start the engine
The 5 series bmws use a different style lock then the three series, at least they did in 2002. I own both a 3 and a 5, the 5 series seems to have a dual sided key instead of the central groove.
he is the messiah for all the thieves.
Handy to keep in wallet or pocket for times you lock keys in car but a dummy blank key would be a lot cheaper
Slightly OT I guess but I am a fan of the Guardian newspaper's WORDIPLY game where each day you have to suggest the longest word possible from given starting letters . So yesterday the starting sequence was ROTA. I instantly thought "counterrotations" which was acceptable and actually a full 4 more letters than the longest word game itself had predicted. I got a big Well Done emoji but LPL deserves all the credit...
The only function of that lock is for when the battery in the car or fob is flat. Certainly did its job, anyone else would break a window or electronically manipulate the secsystem.
I don't know if you already do this- but I think it would be a great service to your viewers if at least once a year you made a RECOMENDATIONS video. Door locks, padlocks, bike locks, etc., that you yourself would use (currently available , of course)- make whatever disclaimer you feel comfortable with and help your viewers make better buying decisions, Thanks!
Enjoy, you now have access to one of the deepest money pits ever produced. Also, the alarm is now going off.
Companies - Look at my fancy looking key and lock. It's cool and it's secure, no one will be able to get in.
LPL - Shows their vulnerability and picks it in less than a 1 minute
Companies - Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu********************K. How much money did we spend developing this?
I don't regret selling my Bring More Wallet.
how many takes do your videos take usually? not doubting your skill at all i just find it interesting that you always do zero cut videos
For me, really, if LPL needs to get his special lever-kinda tool, the lock has already won in my book
You just won that bmw😂😂😂😂😂😂
The day this man gets children is the day the companies who make locks actually start trying. (talking about masterlock type things,)
Locksmith I work IT for says the hardest auto locks to pick are Lexus, and Jaguar is the easiest. The irony is Lexus has an ordinary looking key that costs very little for the dealer to cut while Jaguar has/had a custom Tribbe key that turns out to be hilariously expensive to cut and embarrassingly easy to defeat.
Hope you don’t get a cease-and-desist from BMW for this
Although very impressive to watch, this demonstration lock pick is conducted in lab conditions, with the lock mechanism held in an optimum position in the vice. It would be interesting to see it conducted on an actual vehicle which would offer much less access to hands and fingers around the lock. I've no doubt that LPL could do it, however it would make the demonstration more realistic.
Very nice! Thank you!
I’m a big fan of your videos. I own a 2016 BMW M4 so I was surprised to see the title of this video a 2014 M3 lock. To my knowledge, the 2014 model year M3 was only produced and sold in Germany and was not available in North America until the 2015 model year. I was curious how you came across the lock for a 2014? Did one of your German fans send it to you?
I read chinese.. and on the end of the tool it reads...
"It was not a fluke"
I've got a mini which same systems etc as BMW, I remember trying out the emergency key to make sure it works to be hit with the alarm blasting because it doesn't deactivate the alarm using the key 😂 quickly trying to press unlock on the keyfob so even if you pick it, good luck trying to steal it without making a shit load of attention or have a laptop to hack it etc
Don't forget, like all newer BMWs have GPS through the app. So they are easy to find anytime Almost impossible to steal one for very long. Good luck with that.
LPL should write a Tutorial book.
He has many tutorial videos. Why write a book?
Having owned an '08 BMW, I have no idea how you'd accidentally lock your keys in your car (it can tell whether your fob is inside or outside the car). On purpose...maybe? Honestly, one of the things I liked most about the car, the key fob never left my pocket. Drastically cuts down on the chances of dropping, losing, or locking up my car keys.
My 2009 E93 with touch entry would not allow that. I tried just for fun because I had two key fobs. I'm pretty sure it scolded me in German later.
loose pockets and using the interior door lock system
Took you a while
Must have been a good one my brother use to have an m3 thar we could unlock and start with nothing more than a screwdriver
@user-zm7qz5fq2d nah we bought it off the original owner the locks just sucked
You'd probably just slide right out of the driveway thanks to all the oil on the ground before you ever got a chance to pick any locks.
I don’t want a bmw because I don’t want to take out a second mortgage to pay for oil changes.
I am surprised you have not made a video about Kia and Hyundai models
True that. Only locksmiths will pick your BMW door, since thieves are just using your very own keyfob signal to get in...
Great channel, interesting videos. But please answer this question. You are shown a lock like this, you do not have the key. Which tool do you use to open it? How many "pins"? Which Lishi tool do you select from the dozens available?
2:15 aka don't try to steal a car with just this
Now pick it in the street with an harder angle cause the door will prevent you having the same as you got on your table.
Interesting. Because you can’t lock the key in the car. It won’t lock when it senses the key inside vs outside. But if it’s locked and the battery goes dead this would be useful.
Easiest way to not lock your keys in the car is make sure all the doors are unlocked before you shut them, and only lock them with the key after they're shut; gone the entire time I've been driving (6 years so far) without locking my key in the car once with this approach, and I tend to be a very forgetful person
