Toturial of free script for Orange5 clone programmer 1.34, First come with free Orange5 clone software 1.34:

1. Nippon Seiki (NS) Algo used for some honda and subaru, etc
   Just change the value of R17 on function for corresponding address on file and you can use it for several car with NS algo
   ERATA:
   error in reading the exact mileagesolution:
   in line 66, change code with this  R5=+R6,R5=+R16,R5=-1 (orig code:  R5=+R6,R5=+15)attached the corrected hpl

2. Ford F150 ,24C32 ==== Visteon algo
   Ford Ranger 24C16 algo
   KIA Sorento 24C16 algo*All are in exact calculation==Reading/Writing

 

Feedback:

1. MPPS V16 good read in obd.

 

I read some 2004 - 2006 edc16c9 and all by MPPS.

 

mpps v16 remap Opel astra 1.9cdti with no problem:

 

 

MPPS V18 clone read/write Opel Astra EDC16C9.

 

2. Possible with Ktag 7.020: open ecu and read on bdm frame. work 100%.

some astra h ecu can not be read/write by obd only bdm ..... any way is ok to have bdm in case of obd write fail.

 

Best eu ktag with red pcb at good price: http://www.obdexpress.co.uk/wholesale/ktm100-ktag-red-pcb-ecu-programmer.html

 

3. I write my Opel astra 1.9cdti edc16c9 with kess v2 for 4 times without problems.

On opel edc16 to make a dpf off 100% safe to process the file in bdm, the serial file is not usually complete.

 

You can browse Ksuite support car models

Search "edc16c9" for result, shown as below.

 

4. You can also write, this way if you not open the ECU, I checked write by Galletto v54 0475
   pin out same edc16c9 -edc16c39.

Thanks.

Feedback on the working BMW cas4+ key programmers: VVDI PROG, Yanhua Mini ACDP with the CAS4 Module, Hextag and CG Pro / CGDI etc.

 

Top 1. VVDI PROG work good.

 

There are Few types of CAS4 MCUs (Processors)

CAS4     MC9S12XDP512 with MASK 1L15Y

CAS4+  MC9S12XEP100 with MASK 5M48H

CAS4+  MC9S12XEP100 with MASK 1N35H

so yes VVDI PROG Support all of this MCU

 

And I double check for you..

 

in 6Wb it is fittles eeprom   160D0WT (35160) which is supported on r270+ programmer and VVDI Prog, but you must buy NEW chip 160D0WT because this is not programmed easy, or if is you must have special adapter to VVDI (look VVDI PROG 35080 adapter), but the best just to incase to do not work on original EEPROM (leave somewhere just to incase) order new blank  160D0WT (35160) and program new millage on New chip.   P.S  with reading this eeprom is not problem...... problem is with write because first 32 bits is crypted and must use special tools to reset this..

Top 2. Yanhua Mini ACDP

I use Yanhua Mini ACDP Key Programmer with the CAS4 Module. Works great on my 2014 F10.

 

What I like about ACDP is that no soldering is required for the CAS4. It took me less then 10mins to read & decrypt the CAS4 Chip and program a new key fob.

Top3.

I always read out CAS3+ and CAS4+ with Hextag and load dump into CG Pro or CGDI to make key. Works great.
