What Tools Do You Need?

• CGDI A2 Key Programmer
• A new, original BMW G-series key to be programmed
• CG FC200 (or another ECU programmer) to read the engine data
• CGDI BMW BDC2 Adapter
• A stable internet connection

Preparation

Before you start programming, you’ll need to prepare your vehicle:

1. Take the engine ECU module out of the car.
2. Take the BMW BDC02 module out of the car.

Step-by-Step Guide

Now, let’s go through the steps to program your new key:

Step 1: Read Engine ECU D-Flash Data

Using your CG FC200 ECU Programmer, read and save the engine ECU data onto your computer desktop. This data is crucial for the programming process.

Step 2: Update CGDI A2 Software

Connect the CGDI A2 to your PC using a USB cable. Open the software and click on “USB upgrade” to ensure you’re using the latest version.

Step 3: Transfer Data to CGDI A2

Copy the DME D-Flash file from your desktop and paste it into the CGDI A2 software folder. Follow this path: Immo -> BMW -> USERDATA.

Step 4: Connect Hardware

Connect the BMW BDC02 module, the BDC2 adapter, and the CGDI A2 programmer together to prepare for programming.

Step 5: Process the Modules

In the CGDI software, navigate to the following path: BMW -> By system -> BDC2 Immo system -> All keys lost. Make sure to open the power supply before proceeding.

1. Check the vehicle info.
2. Check the vehicle version.
3. Write the previously saved D-Flash data.
4. Back up the coding data.
5. Pre-process the ECU.
6. Back up the FAFP coding.
7. Write the IMMO (immobilizer) data.

Step 6: Program and Learn Key

Now it’s time to program the new key. In the software, click on Generate Dealer Key to program the new key. Ensure the engine ECU and the BDC02 module are back in the vehicle. Hold the new key close to the sensor area to finish the Key Learning process.

Step 7: Final Synchronization

To complete the programming, write the DME ISN code and erase the EGS EWS data. Your new BMW G-series key is now ready to use!
