Here we’re trying to downgrade CAS3+ ISTAP. Because it’s encrypted since ISTAP upgrade and it doesn’t allow VVDI BIMTool or any software to write a key to it.

What we want to do is:

Write back the original FLASH data that was doing a key before.

Try to crank CAS3+ module by BIMTool and bench test platform.

Step 1

So, first we write the original FLASH into CAS3 by VVDI Prog Programmer.

Step 2

Set up bench test platform:

Connect the cable to all hardware (BIMTool, JBE, CAS3, key slot, switch…)

Notice the PIN on JBE module.

Insert the key and light on the cluster.

We see there is a steering lock but we can bring up the mileage. (The temper dot comes from the mismatch of the kilometer between CAS and cluster)

Step 3

We hook up BIMTool.

Turn to “CAS key learn” page and connect.

Click on “Get Key Info” and “Add key”.

If it’s encrypted, here it’ll prompt.

But, it asks if we’re going to update firmware, which means FLASH writing by VVDI Prog worked.

Now disconnect PC from the Internet.

Press “No” to update firmware.

Then press “Yes” to flash CAS firmware.

Follow the instruction and it gives us key info.

Finally we manage to crack and downgrade CAS3+ ISTAP on bench.

Try if it can give us ISN.

Exchange ECU/CAS>>CAS – CAS3+ OBDII>>Read ECU ISN

No.

Try it via EEPROM dump file that we got from VVDI Prog, and a working key.

Yes.

Done!

More functions to be explored!

How to know if the Xhorse VVDI Key Tool Plus or Yanhua Mini ACDP Master key programmer can support to program latest BMW 2020-2021?

The answer is to check your BMW chassis. Both VVDI Key Tool Plus & Mini ACDP support to program keys for BMW with F chassis or E chassis. That’s to say apart from the G chassis, all other chassis are workable.

(eg. Mini ACDP can program BMW Mini 2020.)

You may have a check if your BMW model is in the form below.

Make sure the network connection is well.
OK >> OK

Turn the ignition off and turn on emergency flashers.
It’s processing to read IMMO data...
Please wait...

Note:
Be careful and DO NOT touch any buttons at this step, otherwise that may damage the car.

It takes about 30 minutes to get the code.
Save the file.
The backup was successful. The data can be used for key match or key clear.

Finally got the pin code, it’s 5922.

• Key learning >> OK >> Load data file >> OK

Turn the ignition off and turn on emergency flashers.

Place the smart key to be learned on the central panel, press UNLOCK button repeatedly within 30s until the door lock actuates accordingly.
