>>>>>>Autohex II Support Thread<<<<<<<

[Fallen]

I think you either did not watch the video carefully or you did not do any FEM/BDC job by Autohex before, because you always have 3 options: - Have a Key, - Have a DME ISN, - Have Nothing.
We showed in this video a case you don't have a working key, and the DME is lost (example you brought an FEM and a DME from junk yard they are not matched, you want to mount them in water flooded) and you want to mount them in the car. This function can do this for you. In such a case do you think you will order a key from the dealer?
In other cases if you have a working key or a DME ISN, you MUST select the other options to make the key or change the DME or what ever.

Sory, I'm having trouble understanding what you are saying.
Yes, I have tried to use Autohex on FEM and it has failed every time.
Often, I have been told to downgrade other modules in the car before downgrading the FEM.
Other tools like VVDI do it without any problems.

Good luck really.
You spent 3 years to discover that Autohex has a boot mode feature to read/write ISN. I prefer to hear from you after few years.

what about Porsche BCM , safe for reading and writing ?

"Good luck really.

Still having trouble understanding what your saying champ, maybe use a better translator.

Autohex does have its place in my toolbox, it does some things better then others.
I certainly don't keep it for the support though.
Yes, autohex does have a boot mode, its not part of the main program, its a separate program which is why I didn't know about it.

You seem to think this is an all singing and dancing tool, it's not.
The interface is slow and clunky to use.
To synch a cas/elv it takes a few minutes to get to the correct sub menu hidden away.
I have never been able to find an option to synch the CAS and DME it is so well hidden.

Every time you enter or exit programming/diagnosing it must rescan the entire car, you can't just quickly go to a module that you want to perform a function with.

Also, you failed to comment on why you have to downgrade other modules in the car before you can extract the "secret key" from the FEM.
A process that takes 15-20 mins before it tells you it has failed by the way.

Should we also bring up why I have to keep buying new hardware every year?
I have 3 autohex interfaces that all look exactly the same.

[topclef]

Please check this video, no component removed from this BCM

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r0CH4NHPqOQ

I saw this video two weeks ago , it's nice that no component be removed from PCB.
but this in not my question, i heard from a friend who has Hextag , read BCM without problem , but writing is not safe , unless you have improved it with last update.

[decno1]

There is no risk at all. HexTag was unable to write the D-Flash in some of 5M48H BCMs (50% of BCMs have this MASK), it was able to read in few seconds, but writing was not possible. The D-Flash remains unmodified, nothing is corrupted. Other masks 1L15Y, 2M25J , 3M25J and 1N35H are ok in read/write.
We solved this MASK in the new version, you can check this in our news.
Your friend had to say: Can read but cannot write.

"Without opening the ECU"
With all keys lost? Need a working key?
How about a bit more information in your release news.

"Read on Bench" Ok, so no working key needed i'm guessing.

You can read ISN from engine ecu with pin connection on the bench mate. No need to open ecu for it anymore.

Got one case. Guy sais fem was reseted to 0 ,buy buy accident he put dash with wrong km and fem need reset again. He told fem was reseted before,i connect it and fem is 100% not reseted i get messages before any operation furst program it.
So case first who was it brought to is liar or no. As i never hear any tool can reset km without first program it

I would say second most expensive,Explorer full around 10,000 Euro's

[decno1]

Todays failure was incorrect ISN reading of a DME from an E87 with all keys lost.
DME was EDC17CP02

Autohex read the ISN but gave an incorrect ISN.
The key programming said it was successful but car did not even crank.
Tango confirmed the ISN was incorrect.

The DME was read in the car and on the bench, both times the incorrect ISN was given.
Problem solved by repairing a damaged key and using that to decrypt the CAS.

Still waiting on support to contact me from my last issue, I think we are up to 5 weeks now.
Maybe they are still on holiday...
if you want technical support from our team you need to contact them either via skype(microtronik@outlook.com) or email.we understand you do before but it was during holidays now without contacting them please don't complaint here.you can see everywhere how our team support customers on various technical issues.
For the above mentioned issue did you programmed key with autohex and was the key showing in key learning option 1 as YES in slot.by reading your post i believe you already programmed key using autohex and if the isn was wrong in dme autohex will never allow you to program key if all key lost on cas3+.for your technical doubts please contact support in skype for fast reponse.

Hi,

Yes, I read the ECU in the car with no working keys and it gave the ISN.
I then used that ISN to program a new key using the option of no working keys available.
The programming went through and Autohex said it was successful but the ELV would not unlock and the keys was not recognised ( the remote did work however).
I then removed the ECU and read it on the bench and Autohex gave me the same ISN.

When I tried to use that ISN with Tango, it would not decrypt the CAS, the ISN is invalid.

I have another car, EXACTLY the same tomorrow and I will try again.
If I have issues I will contact support by Skype.
make sure you restore cas in cas firmware option once you finish the job if you downgraded cas .also check from key learning option 1 key showing YES in slot.even after this if the elv fault persist you can give a try for unplug and connect battery negative.yes for tech doubts we really recommend you to go for skype option

[fred77]

You would think they would want to keep me ~~~~in happy as I seem to be the only active user of this tool but it appears not.
Their tool keeps ~~~~in up and I will keep telling everybody about it when it does.

With new AVDI ISN reading released today and Xhorse coming shortly I will be sure to compare all 3 and let people know.
Autohex is the most expensive BMW only tool but it is far from perfect.
In fact, it's the only tool I own that has not paid for itself and I have had it for years.



Thanks for your input Fallen, tho Abrites has failed on 3 F series in a row on spare keys.
So £1000 wasted update as i see it - which should of gone towards Autohex

Sure u know but be careful reading ECU ISN without working key if it does flashing, as i lost power and ECU wiped.
Really backups ideally should be done like CAS. Learned alot that day.
Don't know how autohex does it - but know nothing 100% safe

Autohex will give a warning message for the ECU which need ignition for reading ISN.only in that case you need ignition all other ecu's you can read even without ignition.Also even it failed while reading without ignition our Indiv programming feature can get it back alive.

[ghostrider72]

Isn with AH you can read within seconds on the bench. No need to open it even. Tested in few and works fine.

Hi see the Lite locksmith package -

Is there any need for missing "ISN Reading from Tricore Ecus by boot mode. "

on Lost Keys situation?

See reading ECU on bench using factory mode ? Or is this non-tricore ecus ?


Thanks

[rivalryan]

You should be able to retrieve ISN from ECUs on bench as appose to getting full read with ISN incl. in Boot mode. Locksmith lite does not allow modification altering of ISN ect. hence no need for Boot mode.

See cloning is possible on many more ECUs not just BMW. Which is understandable as variations of the same.
Contemplating buying full version for this

Always turned ECU cloning jobs down and focused on keys - but as we all know competition has been getting tougher over years.
Hope Autohex will prove a good investment

hi, i don't think it is a serious disadvantage not to have the -ecu advanced coding and online ecu programming unless you want to update modules to the latest versions!

for ecu swaps etc with secondhand ecu with the same part numbers it should not be a problem as the software still has coding build in.
if you find that you need the advanced coding and programming you can easily add it at a later date. well that's what i plan on doing as i have ordered my autohex2 and hextag programmer yesterday.

Think the sync part is buried in replacement CAS section intended for 2nd-hand programming.
Support recommended installing dealer software but I didn't have time.

------------

Is there Key programming features missing off Autohex ?
Yes - but it seems VERY good on what it does so far.
Was hoping for CAS2 OBD key programming (* assume missing to confirm)
and CAS3+ key programming thro OBD to make life easy for Mini programming.
Also maybe even CAS4 key programming thro OBD like VVDI.

In fact VVDI does CAS2 OBD key programming well - AVDI just burns a key.

--------------

Do you need more than just Autohex base Locksmith package ? Yes - seems FEM needed updating (which AVDI failed on!!) so guess so

--------------

I'm happy dude - If something F**ks up i can fix + Autohex Support is 1ST CLASS

I recommend Autohex along with that new VVDI BMW package and reigngold software clone setup on same laptop.
You'll be able to do anything :)

No there is not a problem - There is a trap

When you start to read the ISN you have message that if you dont have a working key there is a RISK to f.ck the ECU

but the risk is when the situation is 50/50 - its a 100% that you will downgrade the ECU and after that you cant start the car and they will tell you to buy full version

If AKL with CAS3+ and petrol engine don't try to read the ISN by OBD - this is a trap in most cases

Cas3+ on petrol engine you need a working key to read isn from ECU because is asking you to turn ignition on.
If don't have working key read isn on bench.
I had this problem and solved with ista.
The ECU was in programming mode that's it.

Ok, thats a problem for me because i work most of the time outside with no possibillity for a 14v support.



Use jump leads from from your vehicle while running - cost not much :banghead:

Or spend £900 like me on a battery support unit


After f**king up an ECU u might not worry too much on cost

your post makes no sense ??? So it was in programming mode good for you - pls explain more !!

What happened

[fred77]

No there is not a problem - There is a trap

When you start to read the ISN you have message that if you dont have a working key there is a RISK to f.ck the ECU

but the risk is when the situation is 50/50 - its a 100% that you will downgrade the ECU and after that you cant start the car and they will tell you to buy full version

If AKL with CAS3+ and petrol engine don't try to read the ISN by OBD - this is a trap in most cases



To be fair the basic version of autohex is a little con - very 1st AKL i did the FEM needed upgarding 1st and this couldn't be achieved with basic package.


Don't know of your situation but the basic level is not really practical

If you by basic version mean locksmith lite, then yes it can update FEM.

If basic version is the same as standard version, then I do not know.

Dusted this tool off and renewed my subscription a while back and i'm glad I did.
It has read ISN's in odd DME's that other tools have not been able to.
The support through WhatsApp has also been on point.

The programmer has also read many Porsche BCM's with zero failures.
The tool has come a long way since I last looked at it.

This tool is too cheap for the capabilities. Microtronik wants to flood the market with it. Many remap companies will get very good competition from local garages doing remapping for the third price.
In general useful toy but would not be so sure doing Porsche 1N35H. You can ask support directly what is the success rate for it.

Guess u mean Locksmith cheapest option

But sometimes needs the expensive programming update option or if customers moan enough free as description deceiving saying can do all -

Or are u on about their ecu options as this is extra money


Personally being BMW I think this kit is the best

I was not to happy with there reply when I was trying to setup ISTA to use with Autohex 2..I really do not like to carry to much equipment as I do alot of mobile work. But I guess I will always bring my ICOM along when doing BMW Jobs.... I would of liked to use Autohex2 with ESYS and Ista..... There response was that since I had Icom better to use that... So I dont think I will be renewing my programming license... I did purchase the hexprog ecu clone license... $1000.00usd ouch.....

but other then that Its been a great tool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[rivalryan]

Even with full package if you do not have an active subscription you cannot retrieve long ISN, reset EGS ect ect. even though it says "free for life" on the license it's not free unless you pay for 12 month subscription ��~♂️

are you sure about that? Because i have asked support in the past and they said subs was for device warranty, updates & programming function (MK database of flash files for updating ecu)

apart from that its free for life

the ecu clone license is a one off 1000usd, but then i think it is 350usd for annual subscription

That is what I was told by autohex support. EGS reset you need to download flash in order to carry out the job so without sub you can't do it.

[amar28]

this is like doing FEM/BDC where need to flash first, if you dont have programming/coding option, You can use advanced tab and update

im hoping the same applies for EGS, Would be silly to need to have subs for a "lifetime free" option, Quite contradictory that would be from MK

or maybe if you have esys to flash egs to latest istep, then you can reset without having subs

[rivalryan]

In account it says EGS reset "lifetime free" I was told by Autohex support that this is an error on server and it it not free, I sent screen shot also so there was no confusion as this doesn't make sense to me. Hopefully updating to latest SW would negate the need for online but I'm not to sure about that.

[amar28]

Turns out your right, however heres the twist, its not just EGS but the whole tool is based on having subs, I mean i wouldnt mind that if it was marketed as "need to have active subs to work" however just dont understand the "lifetime free" marketing when it could not be any further from the truth

[rivalryan]

Yeah tell me about it, what lifetime free actually means ......it's free for life if you pay the annual subscription....for life! ��~♂️

I tried to use with Ista never got it working . Autohex support did not even try to help me.. I have Icom but figured I can use Autohex with Ista to limit vehicle interfaces needed while on the road...

Funny thing is Autohex support told me better to use Ista then Autohex for programming.. I have Autohex 2 full.. I still renewed my programming license but there support didn't really try to keep me as a paying customer. I kept license because I did not want to keep switching back and forth between Ista esys and Autohex when doing key jobs... I use Autohex 2 only for keys and I use Ista esys for diagnostics.

Someone sell autohex 2?

dont waist your money.... you will be upset when they deactivate functions.... I purchased full kit almost $6000.00 and I decided i did not need online programming because I flash with e-sys ... but to them online programming means other functions as well.. example EGS ISN read and BMW SOFTWARE expires if you dont pay the $750 .... I purchased ACDP and am very happy .... my AUtohex2 collecting dust biggest waist because I was not expecting my other licenses that are clearly not expired to stop working because of there PAY WALL of $750.00
