So, there's a department at BMW that writes the encryption code but they won't share the code with the BMW department that writes the PPK software?
It sounds silly, but so do the excuses, if that's what BMW is claiming.

I suspect adoption of the new encryption may have been in response to reports of people stealing BMW's by cloning keys.
