Xhorse has released a major firmware upgrade introducing key cloning support for BMW G/U chassis vehicles equipped with BDC03 and BCP systems. This enhancement significantly expands users’ capabilities in BMW key programming and cloning.
License & Activation
The BDC3 key cloning feature is automatically available for all users who hold an active BMW G BDC2 license— no additional adapters, fees, or activations are required.
Users who do not currently possess a BDC2 license can activate a new BMW G licens, which simultaneously enables both BDC2 and BDC3 functionalities.
Key Compatibility
Supported key types include VVDI dedicated keys (coming soon) and original OEM keys.
The cloning process utilizes Xhorse’s free calculation service, meaning no point deductions apply.
Important Restrictions
Only original keys marked Hungary are eligible for cloning.
Keys labeled Mexico are permanently locked and cannot be processed.
Supported Hardware & Workflow
Compatible devices include:
- Xhorse VVDI Key Tool PlusPad(fully ready)
- Xhorse VVDI2(requires external BDC3 key data reading by VVDI Prog or Multi-Prog)
- Xhorse Key Tool MIDI(requires external BDC3 key data reading by VVDI Prog or Multi-Prog)
Current Development Status
- Key Tool Plus BDC3 function is fully operational
- VVDI Prog and Multi Prog BDC3 functions remain in testing phase
- Test using function 19 in VVDI Prog or function 199 in Multi Prog
Operation Process
Extract original key data using VVDI Prog/Multi Prog, then load the data into VVDI2/Key Tool Plus/Key Tool MIDI to complete key programming. Detailed pinout diagrams for BMW BDC3 key are available in the software.
License Verification
- VVDI2: Authorization prompt appears when accessing BDC2/BDC3 functions
- Key Tool Plus/Key Tool MIDI: Check directly in authorization list
Note: Existing BDC2 authorization automatically covers BDC3 functionality
