How to Solve Autel IM608 Fail to Add BMW BDC3 Key?

 One of our customers reported that he failed to add a spare key to a BMW 316 G20 BDC3 system with Auel IM608 II programmer.

He generated the Autel BMW ikey with same fcc ID before programming, then disassembled the original key, read data and learn key. But the key is not working.

Possible solutions:

He made a mistake.

Don’t need to generate the key before programming!!!
The Autel is generating the new key automatically so you don’t have to pre-generate the new key.

The point is: Make another key without doing anything just put a new key on the programmer and everything will be handled successfully.

If you don’t have another Autel BMW ikey, no problem.
Generate the Autel key that you have as another key even if Hyundai or Kia and then put it directly on the programmer while programming the new key.
The point is to wipe out the BMW generation FCC ID from the Autel key that you have.

 

NOTE:

AUTEL does not support add key for all BDC3 Immo system vehicle models.

1. Ensure it is within the list of supported models.

2. MUST use Autel BMW ikey smart key. Autel does not accept other aftermarket or OEM key.

3. For keys with model years between 2020-2024 and the “Hungary” marking in the upper right corner, the success rate is higher.

4. Make sure you follow the correct instructions/steps to add key. Double-check the wiring connection during the read key data process.

Click Module- Toyota ODO- OBD/CAN Reset Mileage- S6J3001 ODO function.
Identify info.
ACDP reads original mileage.
Save mileage data.

Select Reset KM data function.
Connect the ACDP to OBDII, turn on the ignition and turn on the cluster.
Confirm mileage data again.
Reading odometer data, if enter programming mode error, it means you cannot do it via OBD.

Need to remove cluster and do it on bench by CAN mode.

Remove the instrument cluster.
Go to Clear DTC function and hit Help to check the connection diagram.

Connect ACDP with cluster via module 41 CAN adapter.

Select Reset KM data function again.
Confirm mileage data.
Save mileage data.

Pay attention to the backup file path, the file name should end with “Orig.bin”.

Input new mileage you need to change.

Clone Peugeot VD56.1 ECU with Flex or AutoTuner

 Question:

1). Is it possible clone vd56.1 peugeot ECU with AutoTuner programmer?

2). Anybody cloned 1:1 a continenal vd56.1 ecu with Magic MotorSport Flex boot mode?

Here is the clue.

The VD56.1 ecu has OTP areas so although the data will copy the vehicle will not start. Sometimes engine starts, but gearbox have immo error.

Only option is immo off via emulator for used ecu, Julie emulator works well.

Clone 1:1 not possible. You can make immo off and clone config.

Both AutoTuner and Flex will read/write this ECU in boot mode and do immo off.  Both Flex and autotuner will do checksum correction when writing.

 

 

Magic Motorsport Flex

This ecu has to have boot unlock. Flex does it without problem. Need opening. We have done immo off on these.

Example:

CITROEN BERLINGO (K9) 1.2 PURETECH VALEO VD56.1.

Put automatic checksum out by institutions of flex. Tool can do checksum by himself. Slave&master tool can do this.

AutoTuner:

Did few VD56.1 ECU immo off with autotuner all work.

For example:

Continental VD56.1 Peugeot 308 1.2l Pure tech in Boot mode. Not ok with autotuner power, but ok with battery power. Perfectly.

Rewrite on it with no problems.
Buy yourself a 10 Ampere laboratory power supply to ensure voltage maintenance while having protection in case of connection error.

Alientech KESS3 also read/write VD56.1 in boot mode:

Yanhua Mini ACDP Module 35 vs Module 41

What is the difference between Yanhua Mini ACDP module 35 and module 41?

Module 35 read by interface board through disassembling the cluster, while Module 41 read via OBD or CAN wiring, but this method does not work 100% of the time. If it fails, the instrument disassembly method with Module 35 is required.

Module 41 way of OBD is compatible with more devices, and the two modules are functionally complementary. If you already own Module 35, you are eligible for a discount when purchasing Module 41. Additionally, a combined discount is available if you buy both modules together.
