Xhorse VVDI BIMtool vs. VVDI BMW vs. VVDI2 BMW

Xhorse VVDI BIMtool Pro: designed for both locksmiths and BMW engineers, because it can be used for BMW key programming & E/F/G programming / coding via Ethernet port and more.

VVDI BMW: the last generation of VVDI BIMtool, they have a lot in common, except the speed of BMW E/F/G programming via USB is too low to wait.

VVDI2 BMW: mainly dsigned for locksmiths to do BMW key programming, and other car makes (VAG, Mercedes, Porsche, PSA etc) key programming.

In the following parts, I’d like to emphasize Xhorse VVDI BIMtool features and functions, because VVDI BMW tool will no longer be produced, and VVDI2 BMW is well-known.

Xhorse VVDI BIMtool Pro improvements:

  1. Add Ethernet portaside of USB port, which will speed up the programming / coding, usually it will only take several minutes instead of dozens of hours when using the USB cable.

Tips: Please do not meanwhile connect both the Ethernet cable and USB cable.

When you prepare program / code BMW engineering software, connect the Ethernet cable;

When you prepare the simple programming, connect the USB cable is okay.

  1. Add Wifi connection(WIFI 802.1b/g, 150 Mbps high-speed connection, and WIFI OTA upgrade)

When upgrading the machine firmware, you can connect the WIFI.

  1. VVDI BIMtool Pro driver is different from VVDI BMW driver.

After BMW BIM Tool is connected to the computer, the small screen will display “Booting”, please wait about 16 seconds to 20 seconds before starting to use.

After opening the CD, click on “WinUSB Driver” to run:

xhorse-vvdi-bimtool-pro-vs-vvdi-bmw-vs-vvdi2-bmw-02

OS: compatible with WIN7 8 10 etc, no computer operation system limitation.

  1. VVDI BIMtoolis available with: English, Italian, Spanish, Deutsch, Hungarian, Polish etc.

Xhorse VVDI BIMtool Pro Functions:

Including: CAS Key Learn (via OBD and via EEPROM), FEM/BDC Key Learn, E /F chassis programming & coding (same as BMW engineering software), Gearbox (clear and reset), CAS Repair etc.

For the details, please read the user manual:
