BMW cluster eeprom 35160WT. Using dedicated adapter and when writing new kilometers into two first lines operation goes into 95% and then CG Pro says “Erase failed”. How can i get this through? Why i cannot erase BMW cluster 35160wt using cg pro?
Solution:
Solution:
It says it supports most. Not all, so it doesn’t work on all of them.
Only some erase most don’t. We have erased successfully on 5 series 2015 digital cluster and X1 CAS3 2010 35080 clusters.
This chip has 50% to erase success (and the mileage lower than 800,000 KM ), if it fails to erase, it has two ways to help you try again. you can try to initialize your device, password: cgkj982634187236 . or try another way to heat your chip (contact CGDI technician if you are interested).
On this chip you can read, but can’t write. You must replace it with something like on link https://www.obdii365.com/wholesale/xhorse-35160dw-chip-for-vvdi-prog.html
Faster to just replace it with xhorse chip and they are not expensive. just 17-21$ and you just read and straight replace in 5 minutes. This job can also be done by Yanhua emulator. Check: How to Change M35XXX Mileage using Yanhua 35160 35080 Emulator
I normally just erase and write 080 but have an issue with a defender where mileage keeps going back to where I set it after ignition cycle (think a file issue really rather than chip). Thought would try a fresh chip, couldn’t write that Xhorse chip with cgdi. Tried again with a mini just to see but same thing wrote a load of shite. Making the changes manually in VVDI prog worked fine though.

I have connected the CG Pro 9s12 programmer with laptop and run software. However, device can not be detected. It says 'Device is not connected'. Any idea?
Solution:
Connect CGPro with 12V power supply (it does not have power supply in package, you can use any 12V DC power supply)
I have received the CG FC200 ecu programmer. After I run software, it comes with an error message. "A new device is detected, and you can enjoy 1 year of free after-sale service after activation. Do you want to activate it immediately?"
Press Activate to activate the FC200 software.
Free update for 1 year. After that it takes $150 per year.
After a severe accident or battery voltage too low, Porsche Cayenne 12V lithium battery turns to protection mode and cannot be charged which will cause the vehicle to fail to start. It takes a lot to replace the new battery.
How to solve Battery Discharge Protection problem in the cheapest way?
Here is the tutorial on reflashing BCM lithium battery module with cg100 prog iii programmer to disable protection mode and recover the battery.
Lithium battery parameter information
There is a label on the front of the battery, which is marked with parameter information such as number, voltage, current and production date.
Measure battery voltage
When the battery is not disassembled, we use a multimeter to measure the battery voltage, which is 0V, which means there is no voltage output, and the battery cannot be charged, that means the current cannot be input.
Remove the battery case
Measure battery voltage again
After opening the battery case, the voltage is still 0V, without voltage output.
Measure voltage bypass the relay
Note that the relay is connected in series in the positive direction, we bypass the relay and continue to measure the voltage. At this time, the multimeter shows 1.92V, indicating that the battery has voltage, but it is blocked by the relay.
Locate IC chip
You can see the IC chip when you open the upper case of the battery. This chip controls the operation of the entire battery. It is produced by Freescale and the model is SPC5644BMLU8.
Battery Relay function:
The relay is controlled by the BCM. When the vehicle collides or the battery voltage is too low and enters the protection mode, the BCM cuts off the connection between the battery cell and the external battery terminal through the relay, so as to avoid battery over-discharge and cause danger or battery damage. The battery cannot be charged or discharged.
How to Repair Porsche Lithium Battery with CG100?
Confirm battery year before the operation, for example, the battery was manufactured in 2018.
Run CG100 software, select BCM- Porsche- lithium battery- Cayenne- 2018-SPC5644B
CG100 will show you the wiring diagram
Connect battery with cg100 via BCM4+ adapter
Make sure the connection is correct and well built.
Press ‘Read‘ to read data. First read PFLASH, then read DFLASH data. The process takes about 5 minutes.
DON’T DISCONNECT DEVICE DURING THE OPERATION !!!
Save original PFLASH and DFLASH data.
The file saved contains both PFLASH and DFLASH data, file size: 1.56MB.
Note: CG100 software comes with new pflash & dflash data for 2018-2020 Porsche Cayenne and auto write new data to the BCM battery.
After repair, test voltage again.
Connect voltage with an external voltage regulator
Bypass the relay and charge the battery with a precision regulated charger, measuring the voltage as it charges.
Note: Digitally controlled adjustable power supply can be used for charging, the output mode can be adjusted to constant current output, first use a small current for charging (recommended below 3A), when the battery is charged to more than 12V, it can be charged with a large current until the battery is fully charged Calibration voltage.
Charge to regular voltage (12V)
remove the charger when the battery is charged to about 12V
Reinstall battery, measure the voltage again
Battery is charged. Install battery case, tighten the screws.
Measure voltage again, 11.92V.
Repair battery succeeded.
NOTE:
It is recommended to charge for one hour after being installed to the vehicle with a high-power charger.

Here's the instruction on BMW F10 528i 2013 used TCM (EGS) programming after replacement. Reset ISN with CGDI Prog BMW, tried flashing with E-sys but got some troubles, programming and encoding on car done by cgdi bmw and error check with ista+.
Part 1: Reset ISN on bench
Connect CGDI BMW with EGS 8HP (Check wiring diagram and detail guide here)
In CGDI BMW software, go to BMW EGS change- 8HP (F)- Clear ISN
Confirm VIN
Part 2:
The second part when trying to flash TCU, i got some troubles with e-sys, reported a PSD2 error.
Part 3: Programming TCU
Finally, i finish programming and encoding by cgdi bmw on car
Go to Diagnosis, Program and Coding- BMW E/F Series Program
Select EGS SWFL desired to program, and press Advanced programming
CGDI will ask to keep car battery enough power and device cabled connected during the programming procedure
Program and flash tcu successfully.
check and erase fault codes with BMW ICOM ISTA+
Here comes the unbiased review of the new CG FC200 ecu programmer. What it did and failed.
'I am going to go through different features of the new CG FC200 I purchased recently. It doesn't have a lot of features but it's got a few useful features. There are things that I like and things that I don't like.
I'm not trying to knock any product but it's a useful unit. It could have been better thro.
It’s a brand new unit. That anything that comes out for the first time usually has room for improvement.
Let’s not jump the gun because they have already updated to another version already.
Cg is a very good company I’m not going to knock them.
Software is simple, clean and easy to use. They does not have many Japanese ECU information. Like Honda, it has a few models Accord, Civic, but they don't have a lot 2.0, 2.2 anything V6 engine.
We know it is mostly for bosch ECUs.
I hit one diagram on the Honda and it shows me the wiring diagram. I could identify modify all that good stuff. everything is there one diagram.
I want to show you guys a unique feature that i like.
You see this little tab right here next to the search. Hit that little tab and then it's going to pull up another screen here in your microsoft words.
You could see where you could read an obd, bench and boot all the cars on one side. You have the ECU's and they tell you whether you can read them in obd, bench or boot and functions read/writer dflash, pflash, password etc. It tells you the capability for that ecu.
Only thing is that's disappointing at this time for me is that only some bmw has obd. So with this unit you have to take the ecu or dme or whatever out of a car.
You go back down there, hit microsoft words and you're right back so you could look up the ecu number.
It comes right let's tap on and it comes right up here.
You know and everything is right there. You can look at the ecu number for the mini and Mitsubishi and everything you could do, read flash write the flash, all of that you know it tells you all this information here and everything us at your fingertip by just hitting that one little button.
What i have done so far:
did 17c50 and checksum did online...need wait for a 10seconds
read and write if isn and vin for N55 and N29 ECU were successful.
read isn all keys lost 2016 BMW 328I F30 N26
2015 Audi A3 1.8T TCU clone, reads fine, failed to write Pflash
yesterday did md1cs006 eeprom and flash
Read BMW MSV80 ISN and VIN (very fast, it has different pins which makes the bench connection much easier)
Pros:
Search ecu by bosch ecu number, car brand
it tell you method and function of that ecu
get a bunch of pins and each pins got its different size to fit on these pins
shows wiring diagram, you could zoom in and out
very fast to read bmw msd msv isn on bench
Cons
Mostly Bosch ECU and some siemens old ECUs
Only some bmw ecu can be done via obd.
Don’t have a lot of Japanese ECUs (siemens or denso ecus)
Worth buying FC200?
Depends on what is the main purpose of your buy. Could be useful for BMW ISN from Ecu or maybe for some Ecu cloning, but only some of them because most of MEDC17 needs adaption of OTP and password or immo transfer for successful cloning.
If there is checksum correction, this tool will be a very good tool. Let's wait for the feature updates.
