VVDI2 + GODIAG Mech-Key Test Platform Read BMW CAS1

GODIAG BMW Mech-Key Test Platform is used for BMW CAS1/CAS2 mechanical key matching, reading, writing, and synchronization without welding. Compatible with most key programmers like Xhorse VVDI2, Key Tool Plus, etc. To program BMW semi-smart keys, we should use the GODIAG Semi Smart Test Platform.

Following we'll show how to read CAS1 data with VVDI2 + GODIAG.

1. Connect GODIAG, VVDI2 & CAS1 module.

2. Press the GODIAG START button to power it on.

3. Connect VVDI2 to the computer.

Open VVDI2 software, 

Key Learn >> CAS/EWS information >> Connect >> Read EEPROM >> OK

Reading data success.

Save the EEPROM file.

Read KM >> OK

The kilometer stored in CAS is 271905km.

Read Code >> OK

CAS code-DME: 3926

All reading success.

Insert the key into the ignition for a test.

The key is NOT ejected, which means key info is synchronized.

Key Learn >> CAS Key Learn >> Connect >> Get key info >> Add key >> OK

We can see the key has occupied the Key7 position.

Save the original key file.

Done.

Xhorse VVDI2 make key for BMW FEM "error ID:9" Solution

Problem:

I could not make the keys to the BMW F15 with Xhorse VVDI2. I must say that there was no access to the car, since it was far away and available only to the BDC and the ISN with ECU.

BDC SWFL 00002419_052_010_030

This version of the SWFL is not supported in the VVDI2 and asks to upgrade the BDC.

However, I was unable to perform a BDC upgrade using E-SYS on a table without a car, error: error ID:9 - Vehicle not in state Pruefen_Analyse_Diagnose / ignition not activated (clamp 15 off). The test platform has an ignition contact in the dashboard connector, closing the contacts in the dashboard connector did nothing (I don't have a dashboard and access to the car)

Has anyone done BDC/FEM programming with E-SYS on a table without a car? What I need for programming BDC/FEM with E-SYS on the table? Connecting the dashboard will allow performing programming?

And the Xhorse makes support for this old version of SWFL, I am silent about the SWFL version after the ISTA 4.28.32 update.

Solution:

Option 1:

Had one FEM from F20 with the exact problem. Usually error: error ID:9 - Vehicle not in state Pruefen_Analyse_Diagnose / ignition not activated (clamp 15 off) means that you need to connect Xhorse ELV to get ignition on for programming with ESYS.

Option 2: Esys require "ignition on" to proceed through programming - this is nothing to do with the ELV. It won't start the process otherwise. Things like CGDI or Yanuhua or something, they are bypassing the requirements going through anyway. When it fails then may be a problem to recover. 

Esys is much more reliable and never fails but won't help you sometimes when AKL.

Option 3: When using ISTA it forces ignition on, and then you can plug in enet cable and flash using e-sys.

This is how I did it a long time ago when playing around with some spare FEMs.

->>> And someone feedback: I have tried this one couple of FEM modules - Does not work!!!

Please try one by one according to your situation, any question, please contact at www.xhorse.co.uk.
