Xhorse VVDI BIM Tool Pro

This is a tutorial on how to solve BMW CAS/FEM/BDC version & coding loss issue with  Xhorse VVDI BIMTool Pro . You can refer to the solution in this article if you’ve met the following problems:   BMW CAS4+ and FEM/BDC OBD show unsupported versions and require upgrades. BMW CAS4+ and FEM/BDC OBD preprocessing completes but indicates coding loss with no recovery possible. BMW OBD preprocessing is unexpectedly interrupted due to missing SWFL version, halting further processing. The vehicle’s SWFL or coding version mismatch causes functional deficiencies.   Solution Here’s taking FEM module as an example.   When the SWFL, CANFD coding and key position info are missing, we can resolve these issues using BIM TOOL or BIMTool Pro. Connecting Tools Connect  VVDI BIM TOOL , then open software, select Fxx/Gxx Program/Code >> Auto detect >> Connect car Calculating Programming Files Vehicle programming >> 40-FEM[FEM_BODY] >> Calculate Programming...

  If you have a Tire Pressure Monitor malfunction DTC error after programming BMW 4D/8A motorcycle keys with   VVDI Key Tool Plus   or   VVDI2 , here is the working solution. The problem can be solved by VVDI BIM Tool or  VVDI BIMTool Pro  programmer. Connect BIMTool pro with laptop and motorcycle. Run VVDI BMW software. Go to “Program/Code” function. Auto detect and connect Car to retrieve vehicle information. Select  Vehicle Programming. Make sure “target istufen lev” is the same as the “Shipment date”. If there is no shipment date available, choose the latest one. Click on “FEM” and press “Calculate programming file”, press Yes to confirm The calculation is completed. Gray areas indicate the current module version information. Orange areas indicate the programmable version information. Click Programming to proceed. Auto input VIN code. Programming finished. After programming is completed. Read and clear DTCs. No DTC display on BMW mot...

  As titled, will   Xhorse VVDI BIMTool Pro   change VIN number in CAS3 module? Here is the clue. VVDI BIM Tool cannot change VIN via OBDII. Supports write ISN via OBDII, does not support write VIN via OBDII. But BIMTool supports change VIN in CAS3 via eeprom dump. NOTE: Xhorse vvdi2 does not  change VIN number on CAS3.

  Problem: It is a BMW CAS3+ ISTAP. I was trying to get the ISN from the DME but I got a fail to connect message (Current CAS can’t update firmware via OBD). however, the  Xhorse VVDI BIMTool Pro  can successfully read the DME information. I have another question, for DME/CAS what would be the ideal specs of a power supply? Volts/Amps. for bench test and coding. Solution: You will need 12V 3A power supply.   If CAS3 is ISTAP version, there will prompt update CAS flash when the first time read key info (see image below). Upgrade CAS flash only need 10 minutes, after update flash turn to next step. If the update CAS failed for some reasons, you can fix it with the function in  Menu->Special Function->CAS Repair (EEPROM OBDII) , choose type“ OBDII-CAS3+ISTAP Version ” , CAS Repair with OBD ->Enter CAS ID to repair. If with  Xhorse CAS Plug , follow instruction here How to Repair BMW CAS3++ with Xhorse VVDI BIMTool Pro & CAS Plug?

  Problem: I failed to read BMW EWS3 eeprom using the  xhorse vvdi bimtool pro  and  CAS plug . Error reading data failed. Any solution? Solution: Double check wiring. Make sure you have CAS Plug Line 4 (shown image below) well connected. Then try again.

  How to Repair BMW CAS3++ after bad flash with Xhorse VVDI BIMTool Pro programmer. Take CAS3++ 0L15Y as an example. Credit to: Mr. Fechtel.   Tools used: Xhorse VVDI Prog Xhorse VVDI BIMTool Pro Xhorse CAS Plug   Procedure: Step 1: Read eeprom and flash Read eeprom and flash with vvdi prog You can use  CAS3 solder free adapter  or read it with mcu adapter in the traditional way. Read ID, eeprom, flash and save. Step 2: Repair BMW CAS3++ Set up CAS3++ module and VVDI BIMTool pro bench connection as following: Run BIMTool software, select Special Function->CAS Repair-> EEPROM -CAS3+(0L15Y, 0M23S)->Load EEPROM Dump File This type also requires load FLASH file. Load EEPROM and Flash Use ‘Fix CAS EEPROM’ to save the fixed CAS data The loaded file was in service mode. use repair function. Press ‘Fix CAS EEPROM’ function Save new eeprom Save new flash Then Auto detect CAS information. You will see CAS information. Select Exx Program/Code function, s...
