Autel MaxiIM IKEY IKEYBK4TP

Autel MaxiIM IKEY IKEYBK4TP — Premium 4-Button Universal Smart Key, Buick-Style Housing

The IKEYBK4TP is part of Autel's Premium IKEY lineup — and if you've worked with both tiers, you already know why this matters. Unlike the Standard IKEYs that come in a generic, one-size-fits-all shell, the Premium series ships in an OEM-style housing designed to match the look and feel of the vehicle's original fob. For Buick, Chevrolet, and GM luxury vehicles, that means your customer gets a key that looks like it came from the dealership, not a programmer's parts bin. The emergency blade is included in the package — no separate purchase, no hunting for the right blank.

This is a 4-button key with Lock, Unlock, Trunk, and Panic. That covers the standard function set for most GM applications and select Hyundai, Nissan, Chrysler, Honda, BMW, Audi, VW, and Volvo vehicles where the IKEY platform is supported. When a customer needs a replacement that blends in with their vehicle's interior aesthetic and functions exactly like the original, this is the right tool for that job.

What Makes the Premium IKEY Different

Autel makes this easy to understand with a clean split: Standard IKEYs are the workhorse option — functional, universal, and cost-effective for high-volume shops. Premium IKEYs are the customer-facing option. The housing is shaped and styled to match OEM designs. If the car originally came with a Buick-style fob, the IKEYBK4TP fits that slot ergonomically and visually. The emergency blade is the same spec as the original key — no modification needed, no filing, no customer callbacks about a blade that won't turn in the door lock cylinder.

For any shop doing customer-delivered locksmith work, or any dealer service department programming replacement keys, presenting a Premium IKEY versus a generic shell is a tangible difference the customer will notice and appreciate. That matters for repeat business and referrals.

Compatibility

• GM vehicles (Buick, Chevrolet, Cadillac, GMC) — primary target housing match
• Hyundai/Kia — select models supported via IKEY platform
• Nissan/Infiniti — select models
• Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep/Ram — select models
• Honda/Acura — select models
• Select BMW, Audi, Volkswagen, and Volvo applications

Always verify compatibility against the Autel IKEY compatibility chart before ordering. Vehicle coverage varies by year, model, and trim level.

Programming Requirements

The IKEYBK4TP programs with any Autel IM-series tablet — this is one of the advantages of this Premium key over some Standard models. You are not restricted to a single device. If your shop runs an IM508, IM608, IM608 Pro, or IM100, this key will work with your existing equipment. That flexibility matters when you're managing multiple tools across multiple techs.

• Compatible with: Autel MaxiIM IM508, IM608, IM608 Pro, IM100, and other IM-series tablets
• Programming method: Standard Autel IKEY programming procedure via IMMO function
• No additional adapter required for supported vehicles

Practical Notes for Shops

The CR2032 battery is not included — stock these separately if you want to hand the customer a fully operational key. The 315/415 MHz dual-frequency design covers the majority of North American GM and import applications without needing to know the exact frequency ahead of time.

If you're deciding between the Premium IKEYBK4TP and the Standard IKEY equivalent: choose Premium when the customer will see the key and the OEM appearance matters. Choose Standard when cost is the priority and the customer isn't concerned with the housing aesthetics. Both program the same way — the difference is purely in presentation and the included emergency blade.
