Lonsdor K518ISE, CGDI Prog BMW, Xhorse VVDI2, Yanhua BMW FEM/BDC Key Programmer all are verified to program FEM/BDC key and all keys lost without issues. But which tool is best for BMW FEM BDC key programming?

Look here and you’ll know all:

Lonsdor K518ISE program BMW FEM BDC key

CGDI Prog BMW OBD program FEM key

Xhorse VVDI2 BMW do coding/programming to FEM BDC

Yanhua BMW FEM key programmer add a new key

1 How to use Lonsdor K518ISE to program BMW FEM BDC key?

Three steps: read key info–>pre-process FEM/BDC system–>make a dealer key

In details…

Step 1: read key info

MUST read key information first

Step 2: pre-process FEM/BDC system

MUST DISCONNECT THE BATTERY

1: OBD back up original coding data:

On the car or test platform, connect to FEM/BDC system, then back up original back up coding files via OBD

2: read out EEPROM backup data & generate a service-mode EEPROM:

-> Disassemble FEM/BDC module, find out chip 95128 or 95256, read EEPROM data using a ECU programming tool: VVDI-Prog, Orange5 and the like;

-> Copy the EEPROM data into to the Lonsdor K518ISE customfile folder;

-> Run the program, read original EEPROM data and generate a service-mode EEPROM, upload data of the service-mode EEPROM, write it into chip 95128 or 95256 with help of a ECU programmer

-> Restore FEM/BDC system, supply battery to the car and connect via OBD

3: programming

-> This step need to be done on the BMW FEM/BDC test platform;

-> Make sure that Step 1 & 2 is finished

-> Connect FEM/BDC system to power supply and connect to the OBD port

4: restore EEPROM data

-> disassemble FEM/BDC module, write original EEPROM data (Step 2) into chip 95128/95256

-> restore FEM/BDC system, connect to OBD

5: restore coding data

-> load the backup coding files (Step 1), restore coding information via OBD

6: pre-processing is complete.

Step 3: make a dealer key

1: Lonsdor K518ISE read out data, select the will-be key position

2: a “used”key to make a dealer key

All keys lost: enter 32bit ISN codes to make a dealer key

3: put the key near the car immo induction loop

4: detect the original key, read out immo data

5: put a new key near the car immo induction loop

6: detect the key key, key learn (don’t move the key, keep stable)

7: key learn is complete

Step 4: disable the key

1: Lonsdor K518ISE read out data, select the key ID position to disable

2: put a “used” key near the car induction loop

3: K518ISE system tries to connect to CAS, disable the key with current ID position, disable key successfully

Step 5: enable the key

1: Lonsdor K518ISE read out data, select the key ID position to enable

2: put a “used” key near the car induction loop

3: K518ISE system tries to connect to CAS, enable the key with current ID position, enable key successfully

Step 6: delete the key

1: K518ISE read out data, select the key ID position to delete

2: read FEM/BDC key password

3: delete the key successfully; the key position is blank

THE MOST IMPOERTAN TIPS

1: You must read key info before everything you’ll do

2: to pre-process FEM/BDC, you should pay attention to:

– backup coding codes to continue

– disconnect to the power supply/battery, have a ECU programmer to read EEPROM data, up load data in K518 customfile folder, read new EEPROM data loaded just now, generate service-mode EEPROM data, read service-mode EEPROM data, write data into the chip, install CPU on the car

– ECU programming: need 6 min, with power supply connected

– disconnect to the power supply, disassemble CPU, write the original EEPROM data into the chip, install CPU on the car, connect to the power supply, make sure communicate is successful

– upload coding files (Step 1), restore original coding info to pre-process, then make a dealer key

3: 32bit ISN codes is required to program a new key when ALL KEYS ARE LOST

Note: If you want to program BMW FEM key when all keys lost, you are required to enter 32-digit ISN code to access.

Job’s done with Lonsdor K518ISE!

3 Xhorse VVDI2 BMW FEM/BDC coding/programming

BMW FEM/BDC Coding/Programming with VVDI2 full kit 4.3.0 above

step 1:

read FEM/BDC coding via OBDII or on the bench
you’d better not close this window after starting this procedure

step 2:

open FEM/BDC shell, find out where the 95128/95256 chip is, read EEPROM dump via BDM programmer
load original EEPROM dump and save special EEPROM dump, write special EEPROM dump back to the 95128/95256 chip
restore FEM/BDC shell, provide -12v and connect it via OBD

step 3:

this operation requires connecting FEM/BDC on the bench, and make sure you finish step 1 ans step 2
provide +12v to FEM.BDC and connect it via OBD

step 4:

open FEM/BDC shell, write original EEPROM dump (read step 2) back to the 95128/95256 chip
restore FEM/BDC shell and connect it via OBD

step 5:

loading coding file (read step 1), write to FEM/BDC via OBDII, finish FEM/BDC programming

Attention please!!!

– You can directly backup/restore coding

– You have to pre-setup the FEM/BDC module before deleting/adding keys or resetting keys

– You’ll be told other tools need to be used first to program the FEM/BDC system, then setup FEM/BDC via VVDI2. It happens when you do FEM/BDC key learning, and you don’t have a working software version

– You’d better not close the VVDI2 interface when you pre-setup FEM/BDC

– You need do with 95128(FEM) or 95256(BDC) chip when pre-setup FEM/BDC

Note: there are two 8-pin chips; do not disassemble the wrong chip; better refer to the wiring diagram

– You must restore original EEPROM data, restore coding when pre-setup FEM/BDC. If you fail to restore coding or the remote cannot start or something wrong with the window (or other failures probably) after coding restore and FEM/BDC installation, please use other tools to do re-coding FEM/BDC

– Ask tech support @obdii365 for help, if the replay sounds continuously after supplying power to the FEM/BDC. Usually, it needs programming.

What is Best for Mercedes FBS4/BGA/NEC/Moto Key Programming?

May 30, 2019June 4, 2019 wp-admin

What is the best FBS4, BGA, NEC, Moto Key Programming Tool? CGDI-MB or VVDI MB TOOL or Diagspeed or AK500 or NEC PRO57?

Look here! This is for people who are looking for one good key tool to program all new and old keys to Mercedes-Benz.

Mercedes key programmers comparison: CGDI MB vs VVDI MB vs Diagspeed vs AK500 vs NEC PRO57

It’s easy to find that,

you’d better to have more than one key tool for Mercedes key programming.

IMPORTANT: CGDI-MB is the only FBS4 key programming tool!

So, you have to use a CGDI MB esp. for FBS4 key (confirmed to read and write FBS4 keys to W205, W218,W166… without any issue) and get another auto key programmer (such as VVDI-MB TOOL and the like) for BGA keys and the other.

Note that with Xhorse VVDI MB, you should buy VVDI PROG too, because the are some eis and ecu’s that you cant do with MB Tool independently. For example some w210 eis or Sprinter 906. You should have both, VVDI MB Tool and VVDI prog. Or, if you have to buy some tool again, Simon Touch is the best, but its more expensive.

But if you have a CGDI MB, you have a chance to program a new key through OBD. All done with a tool. That’s the reason why people look for it.

YOU HAVE TO KNOW: What is the difference between FBS3 and FBS4:

Late 2015 is FBS4, Early production 2015 is still FBS3.

Not on the outer shell.. maybe the numbers under the battery cover will tell you..

You can also tell by the kind of car…

For sure FBS4… 222, 231, 205, 117, 2012 model year and up 212 and 218, 166 and 190

Note that FBS4 was added to 212 207 etc at mid 2013 (804) not in MY 2012

FBS4 can use blank keys to program to the car with Xentry and an authorized online account.. Not all online accounts have access to program keys..

2000 G500:

BENZ G500 year 2000
Just done a Benz G500 imported from Dubai

2004 W203:

W203 2004 spare key making:
Total time about 13 minute when beginning to programming new key. Read pass NEC key by IR and calculate PSW
Key still working after get PSW.
Done in car.

2004 W203:

W203 2004 spare key making takes about 13 minute when beginning to program a new key.

Read pass NEC key by IR and calculate PSW
Key still working after get PSW.

2004 W211:

W211 2004 year add key ,10 min job!

2005 W203:

Class C W203 2005 adding key on car.
Spare key made in under 10 minutes.

2006 W164:

ML350 W164 2006: Read EZS, add key, write BE key all done in 17mn.

Really fast and i’m happy with the first try on car. Use late software 2.0.0.0
I just plug in the OBD, put key and turn ignition ON and read.

After this step, CGDI will ask only put in EZS and in CGDI.

Just all. PSW query is more longer than 209, about 12mn to get PSW.

2007 W221:

Add Key on W221 2007, i was complete in ~12min. CGDI is very fast
Upload collect data after 2 or 3 min show me PW

2007 w221:

Add key on bench
First try I use VVDI
But 2 time upload also failed cannot get pass
So I was change device CGDI from VVDI
1 time upload successful
Good and very fast 10min got pass

2008 W219:

Add key also 15mn OK

2009 W164:

2009 W164 ML450
Key add work
Cgdi 15min
Very good speed!!

2009 W164:

w164 after 2009
I did for testing 2 types of programming _ have got EZS with both programmed keys because customer claimed somethimes EIS works sometimes doesn’t – I have found that connector for immo aerial was desoldered from PCB so when I fixed it – EIS became fully working again – and then I started testing CGDI and made 2 types of programming (all programming on bench – EZS + GATEWAY EMULATOR)
1) programming in case one key is available and adding spare key – ALL OK!
2) programming in case of ALL KEYS LOST – ALL OK!

spare key programming was pretty fast
AKL scenario takes circa 80minutes to get data from EIS and You have to plug in and out emulator key every 5 seconds – I have bought VVDI POWER ADAPTER to pass all hassle on to adapter so You don’t have to watch whole process and move key in and out manually – but it doesn’t work with CGDI – seems adapter works only with VVDI MB and software drives it by addressed pin to switch connection off and on between ezs and key emulator – maybe CGDI TEAM could write a code to their SW and make VVDI POWER ADAPTER useful for all their customers.

2010 W207:

C300 W207 2010 spare key without problem and in 2 minute

(exiting key is BE, so no need server query PSW)

2010 W204:

W204 2010 adding key on bench
Total time about 15mn.

2014 W246:

W246 2014 FSB3: Add key successful in 15mn

2017 W906:
generate a password in Sprinter W906 2017 year.

Part 3: CGDI MB and Mercedes FBS4

No tool can do FBS4 key?

No. With genuine xentry and daimler fbs server. Makes FBS4 every day via OBD very fast and easy.

Diagspeed announced the dates of FBS4 solution. But not confirmed yet. The Diagspeed has the reputation of being the best in the Mercedes world to make keys, Reset ECU’s and trouble shoot problems that a normal scan tool can not. It is worth to take a gamble.

CGDI MB can read FBS4 keys and knows if it’s in a working status or key is damaged

Conclusion:

CGDI MB is a good Mercedes key programming tool, as good as VVDI MB TOOL.

It can do a lot for Mercedes like key programming, EIS/EZS functions, key data generation, infrared key abilities, etc.

And it covers many models, including

Obd mode:

W164 / W216

W164 / W221 (-2009)

W16 / W197 / W212 / W212 (old)

W169

W172 / W204 / W207 / W209 / W211

W202 / W203 / W208 / W210 / W463 / W639

Platform mode: (quick collect)

W164 / W216
