Seems to work fast without any disconnections and displays the voltage, auto scan took less than one minute to complete.

There is option to change serial number in VNCI firmware update tool

Has positive reviews.

Only 6154 supports DoIP and CAN FD protocols.

For VAG only. Cannot be used as passthru device.

 

 

VXDIAG VCX SE 6154:

VCX SE simulates a VAS6154, as well as all other Vxdiag products.

It has license and need to renew every 60 days.

Need to update driver to use latest odis

Can be used as j2534 passthru device for many original factory software

Users can add extra brands to the device by paying license

It is not good for older kline models but good for new models. programmed more than 50 cars all newer than 2014 even a 2022 new platform audi a3, works a dream

 

 

Tabscan 6154:

Both VCX Se and tabscan 6154 + C can be used as vas6154 and passthru devices.

It based on tabscan driver.

Don’t have much reviews.

 

Each has its own advantages and disadvantages. VNCI 6154 is good for beginners.

Top Tools to Program BMW BDC Key by OBD

 Yanhua ACDP, Autel and Xhorse released BMW F series BDC immobilizer key programming via OBD recently.

NOTE: This update is for BDC only. It will not work with FEM.

At the moment only some BDC are supported. 085 version is not supported (need pre-processing).

 

 

Autel IM508/IM608 Pro/IM608 II

Autel released this for free.

For example: Mini Countryman 2019 model – it read data first and has you make a save of it. Then it will go into pre-processing and let’s you add a key or disable / remove keys. It worked by OBD.

Check update information and model affected here

Autel IM508S IM608 II Update BMW F Series BDC BY OBD!

Not all versions are supported. Device will tell you if version is not supported, i.e version 085. (support is up to 2019)

If the BDC version is not supported, you have to bench it. You need to read the ISN on bench with Gbox3 (Not Gbox2).

 

 

 

Xhorse VVDI2/VVDI BIMTool Pro/VVDI Key Tool Plus

Xhorse BMW tools release this for free. add key and all keys lost both work by OBD.

They will unlock BDC module via OBDII. Easy and fast job (SWFL_00002419.085.xxx.xxx not support OBD).

Device will tell you if version is not supported.

 

Firstly unlocking and programming BDC module, then make a dealer key. The whole process is on the car without removing any modules.

Here take BIMTool as an example.

Step 1. Unlock & Program BDC

Run VVDI BMW software

Select “Programming FEM/BDC system”.

Press YES to start unlock via OBDII(require internet support).

Reading coding…

Save BDC code file.

FEM/BDC update success. Please check the car and key status!

You can perform key learning function if car work as normal!

 

Step 2. Make a Dealer Key

Select a blank key position: Key>> Prepare dealer key with ignition switch>> Known ISN >> NEXT

Please record the following information includes:

FEM/BDC security key

DME/CAS security key

Key/CAS security key

ECU ISN

Input a new key into ignition coil.

Learning key, please wait finish…

Key learn success.

Yanhua Mini ACDP1/ACDP2

ACDP needs to buy new license and ACDP board (module 31). but Acdp is only tool which can do mileage reset via obd.

085 version is not supported either. Need to do pre-processing with module 2.

Is it safe to program BMW BDC Key via OBD?

ONLY BDC has a gap in the system that is why they are doing it – the BDC is already fixed and there is no mistake.

You can unlock BDC by OBD if versions are supported.

Before proceeding make a backup of the original information and not regret a bad procedure.

Better take out the BDC to make backup and program key on the bench.

Bench is not 100% safe either if it has a clip read going wrong.

Yanhua ACDP Update BMW BDC IMMO by OBD

 Yanhua Mini ACDP released module 31 for BMW BDC IMMO key programming and mileage correction via OBD!!!

 

Module 31 works with both Yanhua ACDP 1 and ACDP 2.

No removing BDC module off car, you can do preprocess via OBD, then program new keys or correct mileage.
Module price is $100, including license and DoIP adapter.
more stable, safer,  and faster. It will not work with FEM – ONLY BDC.

 

2 Ways to connect BMW BDC module:

Top 4 Tools to Program GM 2021- CAN FD Key without PIN Code

 How to bypass GM 24-digit body module  BCM security verification code for 2021- new GM CAN FD models?

Autel CANNOT do the new GM  immo system. the ONLY aftermarket tools that can do it are obdstar,  xtool and autopropad.

 

Obdii365.com here provides top 4 tools to bypass new GM pin code.

 

1). Xtool tools

The $500 or less Xtool D7, D8, D9, D9 Pro can do CanFD, even 2023. (Stand alone the D8 & D9 ) (with CanFD the D7). X100 PAD3, A80, A80 Pro will also do this.

D7 does this fine. The D7 didn’t have the CAN FD so you had to get a different cable and use Xtool CAN FD adapter.

There’s no provision to get the pin from General Motors. I’d get a Xtool programmer (I’ve used D7 and D8). The D8 is a bit easier to get going but I’d also consider a D7s as it says it has Can-Fd built in. I did 3 of these today with my D8. Check It out, there was a small issue but it ended up working fine.

Follow CAN FD Models are supported by Xtool, keep updating

2021+ Buick Envision
2020+ Cadillac CT4/CT5
2022 Cadillac XT4/XT5/XT6
2020+ Cadillac Escalade
2020+ Chevy Corvette
2021+ Chevy Tahoe
2022+ Chevy Silverado
2022 Chevy Suburban
2022 GMC Sierra
2021-2022 GMC Yukon

Example:

Program 2021- Chevrolet Tahoe Proximity with Xtool D8 Free PIN

 

 

2). OBDSTAR & CAN FD Adapter

OBDSTAR X300 DP Plus / X300 Pro4 and CAN FD adapter will program key for new GMs without 24-digit pin code. OBDstar fantastic for US made cars especially helpful with newer models.

The GM adapter is compatible with the following new GM models:

Brand	Models	Year	Function
Cadillac	Escalade	2021-	Proximity key programming
	CT4	2021-
	CT5	2021-
GMC	Yukon	2021-	Proximity key programming
	Sierra	2021-
	Denali	2021-
Buick	Envision	2021-	Proximity key programming
	GLY (LSY)	2021-
Chevrolet	Cavalier	2021-	Proximity key programming
	Tahoe	2021-
	Silverado	2021-
	Suburban	2021-
	Trax/Tracker 4A	2020-	Blade/Proximity key programming & oil/airbag reset
	Equinox	2020-
	ONIX	2020-
	S10	2020-
	SPIN	2020-
Pontiac	Montana	2020-	Blade/Proximity key programming

V33.45 IMMO software adds Cadillac Escalade 2021-2022, Chevrolet Corvette 2021-2022, GMC Canyon 2020-2022 proximity (with CAN FD Adapter).

 

Example:

OBDSTAR Program 2021 GMC YUKON Prox All Keys Lost via CAN FD Adapter

 

 

3). AutoPro PAD Basic and Full

Yes Basic, (despite what the CanFD tools sales website says) can do CANFD PROTOCOLS with the CANFD ADAPTER.
app basic with regular cord then canfd adaptor to Obd.
Must have good cellular/internet connection. We had trouble pulling the pin using mifi Internet boxed but works? fine on cellular hotspot (we all have iPhones with the “Maximum Compatibility” option selected).
I purchased the Xtool CanFD Adapter and together with the Xtool Auto ProPad Basic I was able to program a 2021 Cadillac CT5 today. Same Process as usual GM vehicles with the CanFD adapter.

 

 

4). SPS2

Can be done with sps2, no need code or nastf. Only subscription.

If you have a laptop and J2534 passthru device  (MDI2, Autel Jbox, VXDIAG etc) you can do it from acdelcotds through Techline Connect.

How to Use Autel VCI200 with Ford FDRS for Online Programming?

 Autel MaxiVCI VCI200 dongle can be used as a J2534 passthru device for many original factory software. Here is an example of using VCI200 with Ford FJDS for online programming.

 

Model example: 2019  Ford F350 Super Duty

Function: Programming new SECM (steering effort control Module)

Device: Autel MaxiVCI V200

Software: FDRS (Buy the subscription)

 

Preparation:

Download PC suite and install driver for VCI200 as following:

How to Use Autel VCI200 as J2534 Passthru for Programming

 

This Ford F350 they change the steering wheel and need to program it.  If you don’t program it you get other faults like steering angle sensor no communication and other things.

It is a 2019 model so here use the fdrs and see it it will work.

Connect VCI200 interface with vehicle via OBD socket

Select device as Autel V200

FDRS reads the vin and everything and he’s directing us to use FJDS. Normally first when you buy the subscription for fjds or IDS it’s still like the same subscription can be used for the FDRS.

Launch FJDS

Start a new session

FJDS software ask to select VCI because it is not connected to FJDS but it did connect to the FDRS.

Select the VCI as Autel VCI200

Starts a new session again and it gather information related to this vehicle

Select Module Programming->Programmable Module Installation->SECM

Turn on the ignition switch
Confirm VIN

The diagnose tool was unable to obtain valid part numbers from the vehcle
Using the part numbers from the as-built database for this vehicle.
Look on as-bilt data on the network

Turn OFF the ignition switch
Install a New Module in vehicle

Turn on the ignition switch
Turn OFF ignition switch
Turn on the ignition switch

Start downloading as-built data online.

the SCCM module which is the steering effort control module.

Retrieved as-built data

It’s now downloading it onto the unit itself.

So what this software has do is they download it from the server and later download it to the unit itself.

Module installation completed.

you can see the part number and the date so normally.

Turn OFF ignition switch
Clear all CMDTCs

Turn on ignition switch
Erased all CMDTCs

During this procedure first it takes long when doing self-test so that means is to scan the whole system on the vehicle then we need to tell you the fault code in them so at this moment

if you scan the whole system and you erase the fault codes in the system the moment you raise the fault code in the system everything should go off.
