OBD2 Diagnostic Tools

 The optional Launch X431 “X-PROG” or “X-PROG3” is required for compatibility when the unit is related to the immobilizer.  What’s the difference between XRPGOG and XPROG3?

To sum it up, X-PROG is the first generation X431 key programming adapter and X-PROG3 is the latest generation with extra chip function and more functions shown in the table above.

Both XPROG and XPROG3 are compatible with multi X431 diagnostic tablets, X431 V, V+, V Pro, Pro3, X431 Pro GT, X431 PAD III, PAD V, PAD VII.

Have a VW crafter and need to add new key. what can I use to make dealer key and learn key?

Also, I “want” to have possibility to maybe do some keys from early 2000 to around 2015.

most keys will be European cars.

You can try any of the following key programmer and follow the instruction:

1. With FVDI

With FVDI you can make the dealer if car is “older” but you will need a TP23 Chip to be more easy for you.

For many cheaper Transponder Types (id46) I use FVDI2018 (maybe I even own a rip off of it), but for Opel, Renault and Ford it definitely worked well. (don’t use it for Benz or Audi).

Brand/Model of car : VW CRAFTER

– Year of car : 2010

– Feature in relation : add key

– Version of FVDI : 2015 v18

– Result :

I read ecu – OK

I see CS and PIN

Fvdi writes CS to the new key

Then I choose 2 keys to add

Original key and new _ stopped working

Writes CS to a new key to another device

I repeat the procedure FVDI says wait 5minutes

success

Key added

2. Xhorse VVDI2

The Xhorse keytool max alone will not do the job. If you want to enter this business you will need more than one device.
For the VW Group (VW, Skoda, Seat, Audi), BMW and Peugeot I use Xhorse VVDI2. For Benz my favorite Tool is also from Xhorse, the MB Tool.

3. With Zedbull

this happened to me rather by accident , I read eis from crafter with xprog , then i took a id48 chip and used zedbull to add key , was just playing around on a junk yard car with all keys lost that was waiting for a lockset , the blade on the crafter key is only for door locks , so any flat bar will turn the ign i used another crafter key blade , well WTF the thing started ,even if u can get the pin from the eis and have a precoded id48 u should be able to add key with old vaspc

I used a unlocked id48 chip from a golf key , and just played around , i see pin in zedbull or effi software I add key ,it writes transponder I write file back ti eis , and it started.

4. FVDI 2014 (18 soft)

if you have 7 bytes CS you can prepair it with FVDI 2014 (18 soft). Use Tag tool to prepair transponder for ID48 CAN, than write 7 bytes CS (after you write CS to transponder it become locked), than use pin to teach it to the car.
You can find 6 bytes by obd with fvdi, sometimes 7th byte too. Sometimes need to use fvdi to find it from existing key.

If it can’t with Tag tool menu, use directly key learning procedure from VW menu. try with the different versions I think only one of them works fine for CS. Try FVDI SVCI 2020 with Full 22 Software Unlock Version.

5. with VCDS

Went with VCDS to the tab on the right showing LT3
Selected Immo
Security Login -> entered pin code and it accepted
went to adaptations channel 01
waited for about 10 to 15 minutes for it to become active
entered number of keys as 2 keys
press test and save.
Enter each key into ignition and it registered it.

Enjoy!

 Question: Is there any tool can read ISN from EGS of BMW E or F or G chassis?

Answer: Autohex II BMW.

Autohex II is the only tool can read ISN from all EGS 8HP (E and F and G), as well as resetting ISN.  You can reset ISN from all models of EGS 8HP.  CGDI BMW or Yanhua ACDP supports only E and F series, not G.
Reading ISN from EGS is a very powerful function for Autohex users especially when they meet a lost DME or when they want to add a key when all keys lost (extra option to read ISN).
Reading ISN from EGS by Autohex takes less than 15 seconds job, while resetting ISN in EGS takes less than 30 seconds.

Connection with EGS via OBD will come through the gateway, which will filter the factory mode messages. So it is not possible to plug Autohex by OBD and forcing the EGS to enter factory session. You need to make a direct connection between Autohex and EGS.

on bench from EGS reset option.

Is that mean to read isn from OBD2? OBD is available for resetting only (limited support), the function we are talking about works on Factory Mode (bench mode).

 Question:

Suggestion:

IM608 Yes:
Get immo data, make dealer key, not learn key. I made few days ago RB8. Not learn key, there was an option “Add key”. You need to put dealer key into programmer and autel automatically adding key to clusters. Try, but not always work.

VVDI2 or Key Tool Plus Yes:
Vvdi2 straight in. Xhorse beats Autel in Audi and VW.
Done with vvdi2, Autel needs to do something on that car.

Problem:  

I try more times with KESS v2 clone to unlock a pcr2.1 eeprom in bench, I get an error with KESS when I select READING EEPROM and after display “start communication”.

The wires are OK and voltage is OK, KESS works fine.

These are the images of my connection:

Experience for sharing and how-to guide:

Your connection looks ok…. this ecu need a big good one. an adapter +12V/3A works fine with Ktagand Kess.

then desolder eeprom and read it with programmer, you can find here the tool to unlock the prc2.1 eeprom, but beware, dont play with lock-unlock with this ecu, if you put again in car, can you get ID with kess? it is eeprom locked?

kess v2 (clone) should unlock eeprom fine, follow the kess instruction. I cant with ktag. with kess no problem.

a couple of months ago, I had try to unlock a prc2.1 in bench with ktag, it reads fine the eeprom but it couldn’t write it….then I used the kess, with kess could read unlock and write back the eeprom, and after I make DPF & EGR off by obd….. no problem….for curiosity, i tryed to unlock the original eeprom with program for pcr unlock, after i compare the two modified eeproms (from kess and from program) and is was identical….

if you follow exactly the instructions from ksuite manual, and you can’t connect with ecu, then maybe you must reinstall the ksuite program with some windows add on librarys, or your tool is not good and need to rework it….

Hope it helps!

Problem: I read with Kess v2 that ECU E93 335i MSD80. Does it contain ISN? I asked that before I attach file. HW 07616431 SW 07626392

Answer:

No, it will not contain ISN. ISN is locked from viewing and also it's not in the calibration section (tune data) that Kess reads.

Question: So what tool I need to read ISN?

Or can we virginize this ECU?

Answer:

vvdiprog or vvdi2, vvdi BMW
CGDI Prog, CGDI BMW
Yanhua mini ACDP

ISN SK (128-bit ISN) ecus do not work that way; there is no virginize and sync. ISN SK must be actively written in.

Read this article on which programmer and how to read/write ISN from BMW DME MSD80/MSD802:

http://blog.obdii365.com/2020/12/07/read-write-msd802-with-vvdi-cgdi-or-yanhua-acdp/

It will include Yanhua ACDP Mini, VVDI2 BMW/VVDI BMW, CGDI BMW, CG AT-200, Autohex II, BMW Explorer, Autel IM608 and AVDI

One user feedback: have Xhorse vvdi2 and vvdi mb. And very happy with that. And done a lot of keys. but many customers ask for other keys also mostly vag and bmw. Looking for good universal remote that can be used in most of the vags and also bmw with key blade.

Advice:

Xhorse has universal remote/blade systems. But you will still need to learn them to the vehicle.

I use https://www.obdii365.com/producttags/xhorse-remote.html they are a very reputable company with some of the best prices, I will say this.  Xhorse VVDI2 is a must have tool.  However the universal flip key with remote is touch and go.  Its 99 percent success with transponder programming or cloning with an xhorse superchip.  The remote cloning I have little to no success with.  Remote generating and programming I would say I have a 60 percent success rate.  Very vehicle specific, and much better on pre 2015 vehicles for remotes.  All this being said.  I do love there product and pricing.  I just wouldnt put all my eggs in one basket.  They are great go to when you have many options for the economical customer.

AS I said you can do a lot with transonder.  ID48 Cloning cost points similar to tokens.  It works very well on vw and audi.  The xt27 superchip is amazing it can be programmed many times over and over and continue to work.  I have often just used one for testing probably programmed over one hundred times.  If you buy 100 you get a big discount.  You can use them on so many different vehicles.  Then you can purchase cheap shell transponder keys and just generate or clone yourself.  Now if you are all key lost, You will be reading the immo dump and either generating your own new key file or easier grab one and use your VVDI2 to clone one of the already made keys.  The program to do that is in the transponder area of the tool software.  If you are trying to do immo 5 and up MQB key I don’t recommend using other keys and yes if that means purchasing some for stock then so be it.  Dont be afraid to spend money on tools and inventory.  You will make it back little by little and then use half your profit to buy more stock so soon you won’t have to order and wait for overseas shipping.  As far as your universal key question.  Look at xhorse 3 and 4 button super remote item#5261.  It has a super chip inside it already.  So you can literally program or clone like 15 different chip types (think of how many cars you can do with that one remote, only thing missing is the blade).    Buy like 20 of this remote and then buy many different key blade inserts.  That will get you up and running, to hopefully purchase more product to have on hand.

Alright, here I attach one image of Xhorse universal remote:

My CAS3+ failed while trying to downgrade- how do I recover data / restore with Hexprog? Many devices will kill CAS3+ when downgrading via OBD, Xhorse VVDI2, Yanhua ACDP, IM608, AVDI even Autohex II without a sufficient power supply.

If done via obd, 14.2 always with maintainer. If data is corrupted, no need to make backup, even if something happened OBD without backup you can repair it in hextag.

How do I recover data/restore with Hexprog? What is the procedure to repair CAS corruption? under what option?

Hextag has an option for this can change from programming mode to normal mode probably happens when downgrades fail. You can read eeprom and check CAS in programming mode or normal mode.  edit option in eeprom and you need to write another flash also.

If you have autohex you can check on it first if can solve it OBD itself.  When it comes to Hextag you can check from edit option in EEPROM if CAS in programming mode or normal mode. If in programming change it to normal and write eeprom back. Also you need to change Flash.

Try to recover the original CAS with following steps:

Find good flash file from same part number CAS. Write it to CAS using hexprog.

Read original eeprom, change line 0F90 (first three columns) to DA AA 55, write back.

Perform individual programming (using key programmer on bench).

CAS should be alive after this.

These step should bring the CAS back to life. Now you can learn new key (sometimes you don’t need DME ISN) but it may ask you for ISN which autohex ii and some other devices can extract DME ISN for you.

Review:

With HEXTAG, successfully repaired a corrupted CAS 3+ after a bad ISTA/P update.

Car model and year:

Clio 4 2017 AKL, the card Hitag AES 7953

Purpose:

Try to make dealer card.

I had 2 genuine renewed cards with Keydiy both is the same

How to do? Here are some reviews for sharing:

Review 1.

Done a 2014 with 4a.

Had with original renewed, it didn’t worked. Next day had one brand new aftermarket worked no problems.

Review 2.

Last week i’ve renewed two Clio IV cards (pcf7953 ID4A) with Vvdi Keytool and programmed to two different cars: one was Captur and one Clio IV. Programmed with Autel IM608 without problems, and i haven’t made dealer key, i’ve always programmed Renault cards without precoding them, both renewed or aftermarket..

Captur was 2015 and Clio 2016, Autel programmed no problem without any precoding. When it asks if I need to make dealer key i press No and normally programmed.
Also done a Clio 2018 with an aftermarket card without precoding

Good to know:

No need to precode if you add card

When is AKL you need to pre code the card

That is the way that SmartPro work on the Autel I can’t trust for this car AKL and think that can’t do AKL by OBD.

==== If you have VVDI mini Key tool with renew cable they work ok for unlock clio4 card’s. Tested and work 100%.

Review 3.

Those Clio and Captur after 2015 are a big mystery. I’ve seen and experienced by myself similar problems. Zed-Full, Lonsdor and even R.E.T couldn’t program card (same type error message like ‘wrong card’ ). Try renolink, it seems reliable… But you need PIN code read by other tools first.

 User feedback: Yanhua YH35XX Programmer + Simulator Chip works perfectly with 35128WT (mileage reset), but does not work with 35160WT. How to solve the problem?

Yanhua chief engineer replied:

If the 8th pin of the 35160WT chip is 5V, you need another emulator chip, which is compatible with both 35128WT and 35160WT.

***for the regular 35xx simulator chip, it also works with both 35128WT and 35160WT, but not the 8th pin of the 35160WT chip is 5V.

For convenience, it is recommended to use the regular emulator chip for 35128WT and new emulator chip for 35160WT.

bigger simulator chip for 35160WT reading and writing is also compatible with Yanhua YH35XX Programmer.

35160WT simulator chip share the same operation with the regular one, check the detail guide here

 This article answer this common question: Does Autel Im508 with xp400 pro have the same functions as Autel Im608 with xp400 pro? Same features and diagnostics and immo ? And just size different?

Some people might think:

Autel IM508 + XP400 cost half of the price on IM608 are you think that can do the same?

In fact:

The immo functions are pretty much the same for key programming.

The difference is the diagnostic functions, im608 has far more diagnostic functions included, depends what you want the machine for, the extra cost and subscription cost is for the diagnostic functions. Diagnostic side on the im608 is really good and can almost be compared with the mk908p only the online programming for Mercedes and bmw is not on im608.
But the rest off the coding and programming is still possible on the im608.

And the annual subscription of Autel IM608 is double.

Look at the comparison table among Autel IM508, IM608, IM608 Pro

 Problem:

I got the Yanhua Mini acdp with Mercedes gearbox module 16 to clone VGS3 NAG3 gearbox. It failed me and said not obtain license from A000 module.

What is the A000 module? module 16 is not for this gearbox?

Solution:

Module 16 (with license A101) works on VGS2-NAG2, VGS3-NAG2 gearbox only.

For VGS3 NAG3, you need new module 19 with license A000.

Module 19 works with other brands gearbox as well, including

VW/Audi DQ380/DQ381 0DE gearbox clone; supports Mercedes-Benz 9GT (VGS-NAG3) gearbox clone, supports BMW 7-dual clutch (GETAG 7DCT) gearbox clone. More other brands are under development.
