Hey Guys,

do you prefer VVDI 2, or BMW Explorer with Hitag 2 / Hitag Pro?

VVDI costs about 1000 USD, and can read / write ISN, make keys and reset / write Odometer.

BMW Explorer cannot be purchased only key maker module for about 900€ with Hitag Programmer. You will need Base E Series Set for 1200€ too.

Or anything else?

AK300, AK90, BMW Multi Tool? Which option to go here?

What do you prefer and why?

Hello
It depend on bmw job is it for keys or you need more
Ak90 for ews system and very good
Multi tool also good but update stoped they switched to vvdi2
And vvdi2 also good and recently they add the fem module but also you need progrMmer

With VVDI 2 you can't do it key if cas is encrypted, for cars with msv 80, msd 81 didn't work. Better buy BMW explorer or Autohex for bmw, even tango better than vvdi2.

Hey Guys,

I mainly do E90 and E60 so I would need something that fits in here.

I have looked after Multi Tool, but support is already done so they switch to VVDI 2. Seems quite good. Can do odometer things etc too.

You sure encrypted is not going to work? They'll say it would. Even through OBD.

The thing is... BMW Explorer 1200€ Base Set. Then I have to buy Keyprog Module + Hitag 2 for about 800-900€ too. quite expensive. Is the license lifetime? Or like autohex every year?

Thanks

Hey mate,

I'll look into that too. But seems quite expensive as much as BMW Explorer :O

I am 100% you can't make key for msv80 with vvdi2 if cas was updated. After downgrade still does not work. Other cars like e60 550i, x5 and x6 2010 with dde works very well. I did keyless go in 40 sec.

What do you think of CGDI? What do you personally use?

I own vvdi2, but looking for better tool like bmw explorer or autohex II. I did not find any good review from members with CGDI.

Hmm maybe then BMW Explorer. By BMW Explorer license is unlimited right? CGDI is not as it seems.

But E Series Package is expensive.

I am still waiting for review on fem with autohex HW4 and then I'll decide what to choose.
