got to give everything a chance lads
for me the tool is far from there yet
will see how it goes in few months

i dont know bout the tools capabilties, but its SW interface looks like a child made it and the HW looks like they wer overstocked with IDS cases and thought hey lets jus make another tool from these.

You are right 100%, software inteface is bad, like a child game and color, i don't like at all.

But when i starting work with and after some days, this apparence did not important anymore.

There are many thing this tool cannot do for now, software need more developement.....But for the thing i need for now it working good (making spare key or lost in car or on bench)

Also the support almost not exist

Big problem with BE key, writed 3pcs, only one start engine, remote don't work.

cgdi not working with china be keys?

All my BE key work good, excepted 2 BE that write can use for 1997 -2014. Tested yesteday for G500

I just received the tool but I don't know if I need to activate it somehow? I just installed software and then made device update and tried to read key, all fine without any activation. Then I tried generate key files from some random EIS data which I stored on PC and all OK but I realised that when I load EIS file, I can't see which keys are used and which are not. Also can't see VIN number and EIS part number, why is that? The time of keys calculation per day decreased from 5 to 4 after the operation but I see only 1 available PW calculation per day and I thought it should be 2 calculations per day? Also software show 169 days to next activation. Does it mean that I need pay after that time to use the tool? (Like CGDI BMW every 3 months) Here is how it look like:

Yes it work like that and when you read esz, generate PSW, save as bin file.

When you load in SKC, it show all are key used

Your device already actived before shipping

So if I want to program keys having EIS read by programmer, how to do it properly in CGDI if I don't know which keys are used and which not? Or maybe I don't understand something

[lion0304]

I think software need more improve, for now better is read with cgdi, generate and write with.

If you read by programmer, just use SKC. I dont really figure out this case yet
