When use vvdi key tool plus auto diagnose BMW FEM/BDC car, it shows the result that system status "preprocess", what is the meaning? What are the steps?

Usually when you do key programming, vvdi key tool plus will display the steps, just operate like the key tool plus display is OK.

1. Read key information

Get all the key ID and status (whether to enable) in the car immo system.

Read the car immo system status, version number and key ID and key status, etc.

If there is an abnormal situation for the vehicle, please continue after correction.

2. Programming FEM/BDC system

This function will automatically back up FEM/BDC system code, the backup code will fail during the preprocessing process, you need to back up manually (it is OK to back up successfully once during the entire vehicle operation process).

Please check if the original key is normal first after preprocess

In this step, it will do preprocessing.

3. Prepare dealer key with ignition switch

This function will use the car ignition switch to generate dealer key.

Ensure that the frequency is consistent before learning keys, if the learning always fails, replace other keys to try.

Question:

When I go to load dump file I saved from saab steering wheel lock chip on to vvdi2to make key it says file not supported. Same prompt on Key Tool Max.

Then Xhorsevvdiengineer asks for the dump file to check.

And here is the

Reason:

The key info inside the data file is blank, and probably the file comes from a new immo box.

Tips about Write via Dump:

1. Write via Dump requires the immo data from the car to be programmed, so the data could be written into the new key.
2. Among Xhorse devices, VVDI Max, Key Tool Plus, and VVDI2 Programmer support Write via Dump.

Here we share a successful case of 2012 Volkswagen Passat NEC Cluster Chip Addingby Xhorse VVDI2.

Connect NEC Cluster to VVDI2via OBD cable, and enter VW page.

Select

Key Learn>>4th Immobilizer system - VW/Skoda/Seat>>Instrument with NEC+ 24C64 (2013-)

Here VVDI2 will give us the steps and prompt the dashboard will be dark before "reset instrument”.

Click on "OK”, and then it will read EEPROM data automatically.

Click on "Save File”to save EEPROM data file.

Then Read and Save Immo Data.

Since we just test it, don’t want to add a key, so we click on "Reset Instrument”.

The cluster wakes up.

That;s how we add 2012 VW Passat NEC Cluster chip by VVDI2 Programmer.

Xhorse VVDI smart remote keys are keeping updating and developing, recent time relese Xhorse XSKF30EN Smart Key Knife Style 4 Buttons. And in the process of updating, a little part of keys can be only generated via old types keys of smart keys.

And we received feedback that when generate the proxy key, got the error "The latest remote no support (868.902 frequency), please use old remote (before June 2000) to generate."

The error pic is like the following pics:

And this blog we will introduce how to distinguish old and new type of vvdi smart remote key

1. View the circuit board of the smart remote key

The new red frame position chip has pins on both sides, and the old one has pins on 4 sides

There is also a type with pins on both sides, but it is also an old type that the component is with 6 pins.

Here is the photo shared from customer

The old type and new type vvdi smart key difference is:

The new model does not support 868.902, the others are the same.

If you feel that it is troublesome to disassemble the key shell and take out the circuit board, you can also use key tool series to check. Here we will take vvdi key tool plus as an example, vvdi key tool, vvdi mini, key tool max also can be OK to check.

2. Enter key tool plus>>special function

VVDI Remote Function

Detect remote

Put the smart remote into coil, then press detect.

And the result version will tell you how to distinguish:

The version lower than 2.0 is the old smart key, and version 2.0 or above is the new type VVDI smart key.

Question:

Can I use VVDI PROG to read EEPROM and FLASH of a STM8AF6266 MCU with active ROP protection?

EEPROM, FLASH, OPTION, all data show "00”.

Answer:

As the prompt, if the data we read is the same or we cannot write data correctly, it means the corresponding data area is read-protected.

ROP: 1 Bytes (The first data of OPTION, it determined whether the chip was protected)

If so, we can’t read the encrypted MCU, and we can only erase it by "Chip Erase”.

This article will talk about the Xhorse XDNP17 Solder-free Adapters for Porsche IMMO.

This adapter is designed to simplify the process of reading Porsche BCM data. Here we will show you the key programming process with or without this adapter.

1. How to add key for Porsche without adapters?

Tools: VVDI PROG + VVDI2

Model: Porsche Macan 2016

Mask: 1N35H

Connect VVDI PROGto the PCB.

Read and save D-Flash data.

On VVDI2,

Select key position, load the immo file, and put the new key into the coil.

Save the new file.

Install the BCM module back to the car and learn the new key to it.

Go to

Key Learn>>New Porsche Key>>Learn

Load the new file, and usually insert keys in and out to learn.

2. How to add key for Porsche with adapters?

Tools: VVDI Key Tool Plus

Model: Porsche Macan

Mask: 1N35H

Connect Key Tool Plusto the PCB via XDNP17 Porsche Adapter.

Go to

Prog>>Immo>>PORSCHE>>BCM-1N35H-BACKUP>>Adapter>>Read>>D-FLASH

Read and save the data file.

Go to

Immo Programming>>Porsche>>New Porsche key-generate dealer key>>Start programming>>Generated key>>EEPROM(1N35H)

Insert the new key, load immo file, and save the new file.

Install the BCM module back to the car and learn the new key to it.

Go to

Immo Programming>>Porsche>>New Porsche key-key learning>>Start programming>>Learn key

Load the new file, and insert keys to learn as part 1.

Summary

Adapters are designed for simplifying procedures and reducing risks. Soldering has certain requirements, and if anything goes wrong, we have to check every soldered pins and solder always has risks on data loss. Anyway, why not prepare some adapters to make work easier when we have a budget?

One customer gave feedback that he made an Audi A5 key by Key Tool Plus, and the start works well but not the remote on the key.

Also, he detected two keys' frequency and wondered why Key Tool Plus Pad can't show the original key's figure.

How to Detect 868MHz Key by VVDI Key Tool Plus?

If the frequency is 868MHz, we can go to "Remote Clone" and switch to 868MHz on the right, and then we can read 868MHz keys.

So, here comes the reason:

The original key is 868MHz, but the new key is 434MHz - the frequency doesn't match.

We need to switch frequency, and then the remote part should work fine.

How to change frequency of Xhorse Smart key?

If the new key is VVDI Audi Smart Key, just go to

Special Function>>VVDI Remote Function>>Smart Key Customization

One customer gave feedback that his Dolphin XP005 showed "error code: 29" during height level adjustment.

Here is how Xhorsevvdi engineers solve the problem:

1. Electrical Conductivity Test

We need a video of electrical conductivity test.

How to do electrical conductivity test?

Device information>>Electrical Conductivity Measurement

1)Probe and clamp

2)Cutter and clamp

Use a blank key or a conductor to short-circuit the clamp and the probe/cutter as the prompt.

Then we find the cutter is short-circuited.

So, we need to open the machine, check the cutter's wire, and clean the iron filings around the wire.

2. How to open Xhorse XP005 Machine?

1)Unscrew the back of XP-005 (*Watch the wires inside)

2)Plug out wires connected and unscrew the two screws to remove the back.

3)Turn to the front side.

Unscrew the little rubber cover, and at behind are screws.

Then unscrew the long metal.

4)Use a slotted screwdriver to turn the screw so that the Z-bearing and the outer cover are in the same horizontal plane.

Then find the cutter's wire, and clean the iron filings on it.

Done!

Issue:

Dolphin XP005, the probe works well, but the cutter will restore itself once it touches the key blade. Have done the electrical conductivity test: X- and Y-axiz are normal, but the main axiz has something wrong.

Here Xhorsevvdiengineer gives Reason and Solution:

Reason

The problem is a dysfunctional battery.

The machine disconnects and the probe & the cutter restore because it is powered down and reboot automatically.

Solution

Buy a new battery and replace the broken one.
