Post starts with the problem that BMW FEM USA 433 Mhz key programming is not working, then followed with the answers and questions between two users.
key added but key still in unlock state -> remote not working just start if I put key near to steering column key mark
and this has happened to me when I try to add key to an e60 with key-less go function,
with the latest version of sw I think was
VVDI2-InstallerV560 key programming was not ok (remote and key-less go function not working but car start if i inset key in slot)
and with VVDI2-InstallerV550 key programming was ok remote and key-less go function working
Answer:
Add key to FEM is made automatically FEM software
VVDI only Login module and next step is done by FEM itself,
There is nothing write during key program etc, FEM must recognize KEY, and add it etc
This is typical problem is you SWAP data from FEM to FEM and not unlock and add KEy again KEY after that, or key is not correct, or you unlock key with bad file
Proper key unlock + VVDI, and no problem at all.
Q:
Add key to FEM is made automatically FEM software -> if this is the case then my opinion is that the FEM USA CAR is flashed with a bad file.
VVDI only Login module and next step is done by FEM itself, -> a brand new 2000 km car from USA why would not do this? 3 key is registered in FEM
There is nothing write during key program etc, FEM must recognize KEY, and add it etc -> has I write key added in the key list but PCF is still in unlock state so somebody must lock PCF
This is typical problem is you SWAP data from FEM to FEM and not unlock and add KEy again KEY after that, -> not the case car was not touched before me and have a working key
or key is not correct,-> I take a key from eBay USA more I buy from

or you unlock key with bad file -> do you think that barracuda make a bad job?
Proper key unlocks + VVDI, and no problem at all -> well did you make a key with it with the latest sw of VVDI for FEM USA CAR ? only after that is proper to say -> "VVDI, and no problem at all "
because
" and this has happened to me when i try to add key to an e60 with key-less go function,
with the latest version of sw i think was VVDI2-InstallerV560 key programming was not ok (remote and key-less go function not working but car start if i inset key in slot)
and with VVDI2-InstallerV550 key programming was ok remote and key-less go function working
and this is for sure because i try 2 times but now i cannot use older version because of firmware !!!!"
and regarding e60 if I remember well because the job is more than 5 mounts old with both VVDI sw learning key with ignition was not ok and by programmer with older version of sw than the latest one key become functional.
