Problem:
2014 Porsche Cayenne all keys lost, take the bcm out but saw someone already tried read it and cut the board, tried to read it withyanhua acdp,vvdiprog,autel xp400 pro, hexprog but nothing.
He probably tried to read it withvvdi progor autel and cut the board, autohex and acdp not required to cut,
We tried to fix it or read it with all and nothing read it.
It’s the ceramic one, the guy before cut it and damaged the point to solder to, we tried to solder there and the pin instead but still nothing
Unable to see the damage through the flux and with the crystal sitting there, remove the crystal from the board and clean all the area with alcohol so the damage is visible. There would be a short if too much solder gets under the crystal too.
We usually use thin copper wire to fix traces, bad coils are perfect source for it, do not even need to buy any.
UPDATED:
Make sure you have theMCU Pin 94 short (0 Ohm) to the test pointas pictured, if it is not – you will have no clock input and it will not boot. Need to solder thin wire between the two. Also remove excessive solder and clean out the flux.
Fix BCM

Autel KM100 new user report:
add a spare key to the Volkswagen Beetle 2016 successfully.
Procedure:
It is ID48 not MQB.
First in option to copy chip and then it gives you the option to program. Generate ID48 chip withxhorse.
Read the eeprom and the immobilizer to give you the pin code, I made the backup, copy chip 48 with the same km100, which appears on the dash 0 of 1 and then the program key, then appears 1 of 1. Did it all via OBD2.

*X431 Pro Mini/Pros Minisupports FCA vehicles as well. Except for AutoAuth subscription, you will also need to pay for the function license ($30) on X431 "Mall” in app. X431 V/V+ and Pad series don’t need this.
Background:Starting in 2018, FCA US has been equipped with a Security gateway firewall that is new to the car industry. The logic behind this Gateway is to secure the vehicle’s control systems against security threats and other issues as car ecosystems become more connected and advanced. To access this Gateway your scan tool will need to be authorized by Auto Auth. There are a few steps that you will need to complete in order to gain authorization to the FCA US Gateway.
Requirement:
FCA US has partnered with LAUNCH to certify LAUNCH manufactured diagnostic tools to secure SGW vehicles’ access.
Requirements:
✓ Ensure LAUNCH tools have the latest software (valid software subscription required)
✓ Tools need to connect to the Internet
✓ Users will enter AutoAuth Credentials when prompted on the tool to unlock SGW vehicles

Problem:
Using Autopropad G2 andAutel KM100on a F-150 2019 Keyed ignition.
No keypad on door.
Active alarm.
After waiting 10-15 min, alarm beeps twice, then when i add a key the alarm starts beeping again with a note (security authentication failed).
Tried All keys lost.
Tried it under type 10 2017 fusion.
Tried under smart key.
No matter what i do, after the 2 beeps the alarm goes on again.
Any ideas what can be done to program a key?
Solution:
Here is the tip to program Ford F-150 key with an active alarm.
Common occurrence when all key lost even if no keypad. After you get the double honk, you can always them try the add key, if that fails, do the 10 minute wait time, and then try all keys lost, sometimes that works best.
If add key failed,use Autel all keys lost option.
Put screw driver on the door latch wait 10 minutes when you hear the twice alarm, hit ok.
It will read security and then the alarm will go off again.
Wait for twice alarm them hit ok. It will program the keys since it reads the security first time.
Keep in mind that you have to connect to a running car.
Door latch has to be closed with screw driver until the programming done.
If you have done the screw driver, when it beeps again let it be and wait for 2 beeps again.
Don’t disconnect anything wait for it and then hit ok it will go into programming mode right away.
OBDSTAR,Xhorseand Auto prog pad also have Ford AKL adapter to bypass active alarm. You can also take theFord FDRS. Even with frds you have to wait the 10 minutes but it goes through from first try.
User feedback:
Solved withKM100. Sit in the car the whole 10 minutes, skip the open door to power up. I used the KM100 and it worked fine when the Ford was in alarm.

Pin reading hit or miss on newer Hyundai/Kia models with aftermarket tools. Some have no support for pincode read at the moment regardless of tool used.
For example, 2023 Kia Rio couldn’t read the pin. Dealer didn’t even have access to the pin. It is crazy that even dealer couldn’t source a pin.
Newer models we had best luck withOBDSTARorVVDI Key Tool Plusif it’s a 8A, 6A chip type. 4A and 47 Autel do great.
Quick update for people who may worked or did not work on Hyundai Santa Fe models 2023+. Picture below is a 2023 model that had all keys lost.
Successfully done withAutel IM608and no 3rd party pincode retrieval was needed. You can all read via OBD the pincode and either lishi the lock or just remove it for decoding to cut the emergency blade.
Lishi that supports keyway KK12 with 7 to 8 cuts. This model has 7 cuts. Have to remove lock because I didn’t have lishi like that in inventory. Easy disassembly and reinstall.
If you plan to get this vehicle done, please note:
-Autel has no universal key option to generate for this car, only until 2022 (TM Version). Car model below is TMA Version.
– Xhorse does have one, but proximity option will not work, but the rest will and only XM38 series is supported (selective few key types). If you get a car like this, luckily AKS and UHS have aftermarket variants that work great. Check with dealer first by VIN the part number and you are all set.
Did Elanta 2023, Sportage 2023, and this one and had no issues.
Good luck out there!

How to set up Godiag GT109 ENET cable and other ENET DoIP cables with Mercedes Benz DTS Monaco engineering software?
You need to connect the ethernet cable to your computer socket and OBD to the car.
Then check adapter settings.
Run DTS Monaco software (take example of DTS 8.16)
SelectAdministrate and manage DTS projects
Check if you already have that settings.
Interface name: ENET
Bus System Interface
-PDU API
D-PDU API Version: Berner and Mattner Systemtechnick GmbH GDPM_UNITY_FOR_DS_8_16_015
Module Type:MVCI_ISO_13400_DOIP
Vendor Module Name: —-
Cable:CABLE_PART_F_ECOM
– Physical links
IEE_802_3: Ethernet 1
Another configuration works too.
Bus System Interface
-PDU API
D-PDU API Version:Softing AG EDIC_D_PDU_API_xx_xx_xxx (any version)
Module Type:MVCI_ISO_13400_DOIP_Collection
Vendor Module Name:—-
Cable:Ethernet_Cable
–Physical links
IEE_802_3:Ethernet 1
Don’t forget to save any changes and we are ready to proceed.
Now you can flash modules (head unit, HU5 etc) with the ENET cable.
Enet cableor Tactrix passthru for DTS Monaco? Which one is faster? And what’s the difference?
Enet connects via DOiP connection (separate wires directly from OBD port to Multimedia) and it’s faster. Especially fast flashing. And only few ECUs (depends on car). All other things like coding could be made by OpenPort or any other J2534 adapter.

Question:
Is it possible to calculate the PIN code for the Nissan Sentra 2021/07? becauseAutel IM508asks for the dynamic code and needs to be recalculated, I’ll attach an example in the photo, but it’s no longer valid, just as an example.
Solution:
Autel can add key to Nissan Sentra 2021 without pin code. You needNissan 16+32 gateway bypass cable.
Autel and Lonsdor cannot do Sentra 2021 all keys lost. You need pin code from 3rd party.
obdstarcan get the pincode and do all keys lost without pin code (useNissan BCM40 cable)
