ACDP Full Auth - How good is it really?

[randyrash]

Hi All,

Really looking to get into the big boys (BMW, Audi, VW, Merc) etc. I'm curious how good is ACDP ? they are claiming they can program all these vehicles up to 2019 without soldering the board?

How are they doing this? Is it as good as they claim ? Will ACDP be able to pull me out of a jam by itself such as a bricked module?

Do you suggest other tools to do these vehicles?

Some information around this area would be really good.

Thanks,
Randy

Well I have acdp for a long time and it work ok but support is bad.
My device stop working lose conection with pc or phone.
I contact them couple times to send device for repair or to by new and and transfer moduls
But every time ansver is that device is stabile and that I dont know to use it��. In the end I lose 1600€

It's worked fine for me so far but I use it only for EGS stuff.

my exp:

- adding key cas3/3+/4/4+ fem/bdc working
- Mileage reset cas3/3+/4/4+ fem/bdc working
- reading CAS ISN only when making key it shows correct ISN (crypto versions)
- CAS Renew function is shit works only on non crypto
- never had luck to get
- ISN from EDC17/MSD80/81/85
- eep programming function not used as i dont like the acdp editor mask
- key renew E-series key ok
- key renew f series RF stopped to work, maybe comes back when programming not tested
- all other functions untested

My device was burned, i wrote to Alice (Sales MAnager) and she gave me 2 options: Repair (will take some time) or buy new Main Unit and transfer Authorizations. She transfered my Authorizations, before new Main Unit arrives.
so can start instantly as devices arrives

on moday will inform about reparing device
think that find what is wrong

Ahhh, the famous Chinese "full replacement or repair for three years or until it leaves our possession whichever comes soonest", warranty

[PixelsFixed]

Well I've used it for:-

CAS3+ reading and writing flash and eeprom. Excellent
FEM/BDC spare keys. Spot on.
Cas4 AKL and spare keys. Spot on.
Locked JLR KVM. Spot on.
FRM Repairs. Again, spot on.

It's becoming one of my favourite tools.

Done a few CAS3+ and 16 Jag XF with no issues

I never buy Chinese tools direct from China. Yes you will pay more buying from a local supplier but you have some support and can return the tool if it breaks

[igorr]

and acdp work again
ram memory is daed so from aliexpre ram 1.3eu and its alive again

[randyrash]

So you recommend over a combo of VVDI2 and VVDI PROG? Does ACDP have the tools necessary to repair bricked modules?

Have made 3 different 3 series keys CAS3/3+ . First car was modded junk couldn't diagnose ran once then off to auction. Other two, cars run fine but remote buttons don't work. They signal but no response from units. Tried 2 different aftermarkets and my own in house refurb same remote issues.

Not making comfort access just remote keys usually in key slot 7. Any thoughts or a reliable key source would be appreciated.


also CAS4/4+ no issues
