SW28 Lock50 HW04-B Upgrade Software Licence JLR 2017–2024+ (Anytime Use)

Special Function for New RFA Programming with Locked BCM Support

The SW28 software module unlocks advanced functionality in the Lock50 HW04-B OBD Tool, specifically for programming new RFA modules on Jaguar and Land Rover vehicles from 2017 to 2024+, even when the BCM is locked due to post-2021 mitigation updates.

This upgrade brings features typically reserved for higher-end tools, enabling full OBD-based key programming without BCM replacement, soldering, or disassembly. It transforms the HW04-B into a robust, dealership-level solution—ideal for modern JLR systems that previously required complex or restricted procedures.

By upgrading to SW28, HW04-B users can confidently take on jobs that were previously dealership-only, completing them faster, safer, and more efficiently—all through the OBD port.

Key Features (with SW28 Upgrade):

• Adds RFA programming for locked R8E2 and M8E2 BCMs
• Programs new RFAs even on vehicles with mitigation updates
• Erases lost/stolen keys and blocks unauthorized emergency starts
• No need for BCM replacement, soldering, or teardown
• Available as an Anytime Licence for continuous use 
• Fast programming via OBD — jobs done in ~15 minutes
• Works with all JLR models from 2017–2024+

Key Differences (HW04-B vs HW04-C with SW28)

• Functionality is the same post-upgrade, but HW04-C supports additional locked module functions (e.g., SW36) that HW04-B users would need to purchase separately.
• HW04-C may benefit from faster processing and broader compatibility when working with more complex UWB/PEPS systems beyond the SW28 scope.

Requirements:

• Lock50 HW04-B OBD Tool with active B Package
• To Provide HW04-B Device Serial Number for licence generation
