Lock50 HW04-A to HW04-A+ Software Upgrade

Lock50 HW04-A to HW04-A+ Software Upgrade

Add RFA Replacement Capability to Your Existing HW04-A Package

Upgrade your existing Lock50 HW04-A Package to HW04-A+ and unlock one of the most important next-step capabilities in Jaguar and Land Rover key work: RFA replacement when the BCM is unlocked.

If you already use HW04-A for OBD key programming, key erase, Alarm Off, and supported token/service-mode workflows, this software upgrade gives you a stronger path for jobs involving damaged RFAs, replaced RFAs, or certain locked-RFA situations where changing the RFA is the better workflow.

This is the practical upgrade for locksmiths who are ready to take on more JLR jobs without buying a full new kit. You keep your existing HW04-A hardware, cables, adapters, and keys — and add the A+ software capability.

What You Gain With the A+ Upgrade

The HW04-A to HW04-A+ Software Upgrade adds:

• RFA replacement when the BCM is unlocked
• Damaged RFA replacement when the BCM is unlocked
• Replaced RFA module programming when the BCM is unlocked
• An alternate workflow in certain locked-RFA situations when the vehicle is not in alarm mode and the BCM is unlocked
• More flexibility when the original RFA is damaged, replaced, locked, or cannot be used normally
• A stronger middle step between HW04-A and HW04-C

Quick Summary

• Software-only upgrade for current HW04-A owners
• Converts HW04-A software access to HW04-A+ software access
• Adds RFA replacement capability when the BCM is unlocked
• Keeps all existing HW04-A key programming and Alarm Off workflows
• Uses your existing HW04-A hardware, cables, adapters, and keys
• Helps with damaged or replaced RFA module scenarios
• Compatible with supported OEM, aftermarket, Lock50, and clonable key workflows
• Uses your current HW04-A subscription term
• Annual renewal after upgrade: $750/year

What Stays the Same From HW04-A

Your existing HW04-A workflows remain available, including:

• OBD key programming on supported Jaguar and Land Rover vehicles
• Key add capability
• Key erase capability when the RFA is unlocked
• Alarm Off on unlocked RFA vehicles
• Alarm Off on locked RFA situations through service mode or token-based workflows where applicable
• OEM key workflows where supported
• Aftermarket key workflows where supported
• Lock50 key workflows where supported
• Clonable key workflows where supported
• Token-based pathways for certain locked-module situations

Why Upgrade from HW04-A to HW04-A+?

The HW04-A is a strong entry package for Jaguar and Land Rover key programming. It gives locksmiths a practical way to start taking on JLR key jobs without moving directly into the higher packages.

The HW04-A+ upgrade adds the capability many locksmiths need next: RFA replacement when the BCM is unlocked.

That matters because not every JLR job is only a simple key program. Sometimes the RFA is damaged. Sometimes it has been replaced. Sometimes the vehicle condition makes RFA replacement the better path than relying only on a token-based workflow.

The A+ upgrade gives you more options in the field while still keeping the workflow focused and cost-effective.

• Current HW04-A owners who want more JLR capability
• Locksmiths who want to add RFA replacement when the BCM is unlocked
• Technicians dealing with damaged or replaced RFA modules
• Shops that want more flexibility without buying a full new package

• Automotive locksmiths who are seeing JLR jobs that require more than basic key programming
