How to use CGDI to add a key for E92 BMW by OBD?

Today I’m gonna add a key for a 2009 E92 CAS3 BMW using with CGDI Prog BMW MSV80 tool via OBD. CGDI Prog is quite an amazing BMW key programmer that takes only 3 minutes to do this job.

Now follow me to show the steps:

This is a voltage stabilizer connected to the BMW at 14.2 volts.

This is the CGDI Prog connected by OBD.

I had prepared 2 keys, one is a working key, and the other is a new key. This is the new one to be programmed.

Turn on the ignition, and launch CGDI software to start:

BMW Key Match(OBD) >> CAS1-3+ Key Match >> Read Key Info

OBD is connecting.. reading data.

Pop up the key from the ignition, click “OK”>> Save Key Info >> Select Key5 >> Generate Dealer Key

Put the working key into the CGDI programmer coil, click “Next”... wait until the working key has been read successfully.

Remove the working key, put the blank new key instead in the CGDI programmer coil, click “OK”.

The current programming key is not a smart key, click “No”... Program key successfully!

Look, it is really easy and fast, let me check if the key works. Works perfect, the job has done.

This is a quick tutorial of how to use CGDI Prog BMW MSV80 to add a key for an E92 CAS3 BMW. Other function tests to be updated...

2008 bmw e60 with cas3+ no key, which key programmer + how?

Car model and year: 2008 BMW e60 with cas3+

Situation: The owner has no key.

BMW key programmers test reports:
1. Autel IM608

2. Xhorse VVDI2

3. CGDI BMW key programmer

1. Autel IM608 successfully finally: 
Update on this car. I was able to get the key programmed using the Autel. I had to remove the CAS and read the EEPROM. Then I was able to write the key, and use the 64 attempts to get the key to start the vehicle. I got all the way to 58 attempts, but it worked! After I got that key programmed, I attempted to program another through OBD with the working key, and it was still unsuccessful. I am not sure why the car would not accept programming even with a working key, but I am happy I did not have to remove the DME.

Quoted: "After I got that key programmed, I attempted to program another through OBD with the working key, and it was still unsuccessful. I am not sure why the car would not accept programming even with a working key".
That's because dealing with some (maybe all, please correct me if I'm wrong) CAS3++ ISTAP it's not possible to add key via OBD even if we have a working key. Need to do like you did, read EEPROM on the table and then find ISN from the working key.

No it's not the good tool for this CAS3++ ISTAP, other tools are enable to do it by OBD2, just a risky job! ( to downgrade CAS )
IM608 Method is good, safe & recommended. Normally after obtaining IMMO KEY DATA + 1 WORKING KEY, you no need the car to add another key ... ( IM608 tool is not able ) 100%.

BMW no need obd2 to program another key, OBD2 it's just to obtain IMMO KEY DATA!
But you already have this info, made a dealer key with this info + working key & start car ...

2. How I did successfully with Xhorse VVDI2 Programmer?
I've done over a dozen of these, Zed full did not work after downgrading cas I couldn't do much more.

With VVDI2
1). simply downgrade CAS (never had an issue, make sure you have good power.)
2). After downgrading cas, pull cas and EEPROM immo data, make key in vvdi2, write back to cas.
3). Now you need ISN, you have 2 options, try up to 64 times letting it try and figure out ISN for you OR pull and read ISN from DME

I never pull DME on cas3+ ISTAP works 100% with VVDI2.

I could not read EEPROM even after downgrading through OBD (on some I can, the ones I couldn't happen to be 2011 if I remember right), so I proceed to remove CAS. I will have to try ISN through OBD next time. VVDI2 says this type supported in the future when trying to read EEPROM OBD after downgrade (latest updates).

Someone doesn't think so:
.NO
will not lower unless I had the flu thenI'll tell you how it turns out, cas3 ++ surprised me, series 1, old car, with a 3-liter engine, no keys, we can do it
msv80, ECU ISN A4................................................ .................................C4

3. CGDI BMW key programmer reviews:
TESTED ON BENCH, sometimes yes but generally no! I never tested on the car ... For BMW CAS 1>3 I only use CGDI BMW: low price tool who never failed, dealer key cost only £150 for sell to customer half of price you need CGDI BMW !!!
I have VVDI2 FULL, X100pad 2 pro after tested on the bench, I will never use them after bad results...

Enjoy!

CGDI BMW Key programmer Feedback: Excellent tool

All feedback from owners of CGDI BMW Key programmer, I post here.

An excellent tool so far. no bricks or problems.
extremely fast for cas1, 2 & 3
for cas3+ if need downgrade 10 minutes and seems safe.
make sure you have proper power on the car

cas4 F10 - ok (new key)
cas4+ F10 - ok (new key) isn from org key or dump DME
fem/bdc F31 - ok - reset mileage, change isn, change vin, make keys with original key and with dump from DDE
cas3+ E60- ok, downgrade and make key with isn from org key

You can reuse an old key and reprogram it, there is a button that says unlock key. I tried and worked with aftermarket key, did not try on an original BMW key to unlock(tested on e60 cas2)
and yes it is safe if downgrade for CAS3+.

Read ISN form MSV80 result OK
Read and wright ISN cas 3 result OK

Did a 2008 E60 CAS3+ had to DOWNGRADE it took about 10min and programmed key successfully

Did a 2008 E60 528i it asked for Downgrade it took around 10min no error codes all perfect key works

Instructions for cas4 F10 key programming:
Cas4 can only be done by reading DFlash from Freescale cpu then load into programmer software and generate key. It can none done by obd.
You need xprog or vvdi prog to read the dflash.

FAQ:
Q: CGDI BMW need to pay every 6 month subscription same as CGDI Mercedes ?
A: No, work like VVDI2 - synchronization every mounth
