How to use OBDSTAR X300 DP Program Smart Key for BWM FEM/BDC

Most of the latest BMW vehicles adopt FEM/BDC modules, which must be programmed before the key programming. OBDSTAR X300 Key Master DP already updated the BMW FEM/BDC key programming software. To make the operation clear, let’s show the FEM smart key programming process with Key Mater DP as below:

 

 

Prepare

To get a better understanding of BMW key programming, following three major steps and some tools will be explained first.

1.Key Information

2.Key Programming Preprocessing

3.Key Add/Delete

 

Before key programming, read key information of current vehicle. Then delete the lost key or add new key based on this information.

For these vehicles to be programmed for the first time with this kind of device, Key Programming Preprocessing is necessary before key adding and deleting. Key programming Preprocessing can be operated in the car or on workbench, while operating with specialized test cable on workbench is strongly recommended. FEM test cable is shown below:1

To read and write data on chip of FEM/BDC, it’s necessary to prepare and EEPROM. EEPROM/PIC picture is shown below:

  1. Key Information Reading

After connecting vehicle or test harness, select “Key Information” under BMW Immobilizer menu to read current key information:

Step 1: Code data backup

Select and click “Code data backup”

OBDSTAR X300 DP Program Smart Key for BWM FEM BDC (13) OBDSTAR X300 DP Program Smart Key for BWM FEM BDC (14)

Read the code data and click “yes” to save it with the filename by default. Or click “no” to customize filename and remember it (the filename will be helpful in step7)

During the step2, the screen will show a simple operation instruction. The operation process differs from the user’s programmer, here we take Key Master DP and EEPROM/PIC adapter for example. Shown as below:

  • Disassemble the FEM/BDC module from car or test cable, open the shell and weld the 95128/95256 chip and take it out.

  • Then, connect the EEPROM adapter with Key Master DP, plug in the 12V power, shows as below:

OBDSTAR X300 DP Program Smart Key for BWM FEM BDC (22)

  • Exit immobilizer function and go back to the main screen, then choose “EEPROM/PIC adapter”:

Notice: The original EEPROM data backup completed and saved with the name“FEM00000”. Disassemble 95128/95256 chip from adapter board and weld back to FEM/BDC module.

 

Step3: Service Mode Data Generation

Put FEM/BDC module back to car or connect with the test cable. Exit the “EEPROM/PIC adapter” function, enter Immobilizer and choose BMW vehicles, click “step 3: service mode data generation”:

Stpe4: Service Mode Data Writing

Click “step 4: service mode data writing”:

OBDSTAR X300 DP Program Smart Key for BWM FEM BDC (38) OBDSTAR X300 DP Program Smart Key for BWM FEM BDC (38)

 

This step needs the EEPROM/PIC adapter or other programmer to read and write 95128/95256 chip. If you use other programmer to write service mode data, you need to copy the generated service mode data from Key Master DP and reserve it on the programmer or PC computer, then write the data.

Write service mode data with EEPROM/PIC adapter as follow:

① Disassemble 95128/95256 chip again, weld it to the adapter, connect with the Key Master DP.
