What info can the BMW dealer read on our key fob?

Hi Guys,

A few weeks ago there was a thread on what kind of info was stored on our key fob. I tired searching for it... but I can't find it. IF someone can point me in the right direction that would be great.

Anyway... while I was at my German dealer last week... I asked them what can they read from my key fob. They were nice enough to make me a print out. I was a little surprised just how much info is stored on the key!

Here is the printout...






VIN number - factory name
model - model number
type - color code (exterior)
kms/miles - todays date & time!
key version - key number sub set
interior option color code - origin
last time key was used - in service date
production date -next service date
next service date -fuel tank level in liters
brake fluid change date - outside temp
coolant temp - ?
average distance per week - ?
engine codes/failures - ?
factory coding - ?
key number - ?


I am not quite sure what the last five designations are for. ???

More food for the key fob fire!
