The CKM feature contained in CIP (for models produced as of the E65) provides the ability to "customize" certain vehicle and key functions to meet the specific preferences of the customer. It is important to note that the functions/features that can be "customized" will vary depending on model, equipment level and vehicle software level.

Upon selecting "CKM" a check of the current vehicle and key settings is made and displayed. The displayed settings list should be printed out and provided to the customer in order for them to select how the available functions should be set. The CKM function contained within CIP allows settings for both vehicle and keys to be made directly, the older version separates the key settings from the vehicle setting as different functions.

On older vehicles the Car Memory and Key Memory settings can be accessed via the SGC/UNIX function.
