What Tool to Program 2025 Ram ProMaster All Keys Lost?
Problem:
It’s a 2025 Dodge Ram ProMaster. All keys have lost. Autel IM508 with 12+8 cable was able to pull pin code, but it will not erase keys or allow new one to be programmed.
Will it even pull the pin code if RF Hub is locked? Can we do this with Witech if RF Hub is locked?
Here is the clue.
Rfhm locked means the it has the rf hub lockout update. No keys can be added.
RFH locked means the hub is locked to vehicle and that’s always the case. Because it can only be used once and it locks to that car no way to unlock.
It says rfhm locked that means it’s locked to due to update. Rfh locked is the hub being locked to vehicle.
All promasters 25 and up are locked.
Solution:
Need to replace rfh an then use witech to program both.
Rfh is located in headliners.
Install a new hub and keys programmed without any issues.
Even with witech you have to replace RFH to new one.
The RFH new from the dealer was 160$.
Easy to program with witech them you program new keys.

How to Repair BMW G Series BDC3 Module if Damaged?
Below is a case study detailing the repair of a BMW G series BDC3 module that experienced a communication failure (BDC3 module damaged), preventing the vehicle from starting.
BMW 3 Series BDC3 Perfect Rescue:
A 2021 BMW 3 Series (G20) suffered a severe battery drain that left the BDC3 (Body Domain Controller) completely dead — no communication with the vehicle, and no start 😱
To tackle this tough nut, he deployed the ultimate solution:
- Magic Motorsport Flex —Boot glitch unlocked the Bosch MG1CS201 locked ECU and read the ISN (Individual Serial Number) from the DME (engine control unit).
- Brand new genuine BDC3 module — no more uncertainty from used parts. He replaced it with a brand new OEM BDC3, eliminating any hidden issues at the source.
- Two original keys precisely programmed — the extracted ISN is written into the new BDC3, and two brand new original keys are programmed, perfectly restoring the vehicle’s immobilizer system
This process requires specialized equipment and extensive experience — the BDC3 is the core security module on G‑chassis BMWs, and it’s heavily encrypted. Any single mistake could permanently lock the module. Battery drain causing BDC no-communication is a common pain point for the G20/G28, but with the right approach, it can be fixed flawlessly!
Flex Glitch Unlocked BMW MG1CS001 ECU Successfully
Magic Motorsport Flex Boot glitch unlock latest user report:
“Another one added to the collection.
This one is a highly challenging unlock and requires very good, even heat to open the ECU correctly. Do not attempt to open it cold, or you significantly increase the risk of damaging the housing.
BMW Bosch MG1CS001
Open both sides of the ECU.
Remove both resistors.
Proceed with the boot glitch unlock.
Use 5 ohm resistor between E1 and boot pin in case you can’t connect.
The MDG1 Boot Glitch Unlock is a real game changer. If you still don’t have Flex Full, don’t wait any longer—it’s time to start glitching.”
