Activation/Adapter ACDP needs adapters to work with.

You should buy different adapters for various modules:

CAS1-4+ immo;

FEM/BDC immo & dashboard;

FRM footwell module (0L15Y 3M25J);

35080, 35160DO WT Eeprom.

And you should have another adapter to read ISN;

adapter to read DME ISN (when all keys are lost);

adapter to renew key.

 

Btw, you can get a Mini ACDP FULL kit.

CGDI doesn’t need adapter to work with.

But you need another programmer to read modules, need a cable to read DME ISN from MSV and MSD

And you should get authorization for some functions:

BWM FEM/BDC Authorization

 

 

In short,

If you are not equipped with soldering knowledge & rich experience and don’t have another tool to read modules, Yanhua ACDP can be a good helper.

For personal use, you’re advised to have a Mini ACDP main unit and the adapter for your BMW.

For auto repair, have a Yanhua Mini ACDP FULL kit = have all for BMW key making and module programming.

 

If you are looking for a reliable tool for safety and speed, CGDI BMW Prog is the best solution.
