Here we will show how to install and uninstall the Xhorse BMW BDC2 adapter.
Part I: Install Xhorse BMW BDC2 Adapter
Step 1: Align the Adapter Precisely align the 3 positioning points on the adapter with the 3 corresponding points on the BMW BDC2 module.
Step 2: Press Down After alignment, firmly press the adapter downward until it seats properly.
Step 3: Secure the Adapter Locate the locking clip on the adapter and fasten it to ensure a stable connection.
Connect BDC2 adapter with VVDI2 or key tool plus. Take VVDI2 as an example.
Connect the VVDI2 device to the BDC2 module using the BDC2 adapter. Supply the adapter with 12V power.
Turn on the switch on the BDC2 adapter. White indicators turn on, allowing you to confirm whether the pins are correctly aligned
The Power indicator will turn on if the adapter is well connected.
Part II: Uninstall Xhorse BDC2 Adapter
Step 1: Unlock the Adapter Release the locking clip on the adapter.
Step 2:Prepare the Workspace Place the module on a flat, stable surface to prevent damage to the adapter or BDC2 module.
Step 3: Press to Release Use both hands to simultaneously press down on the edges of the BDC2 module. This will gently push the adapter’s pins upward, disengaging them from the module’s interface.
Step 4: Remove the Adapter Lift the adapter straight upward in a parallel motion.

Today, car enthusiasts are looking for different solutions to enhance their vehicle’s performance and take their driving experience to the highest level. This is exactly where we come in! As XirDecoder Chip Tuning, we specialize in engine optimization and software updates. We aim to provide our customers with the best performance and lead the industry with our advanced technologies and professional team of engineers.
We are excited to introduce XirDecoder, an innovative chip tuning platform that’s revolutionizing automotive performance with the power of AI. Whether you’re a professional tuner or a car enthusiast, XirDecoder offers a robust solution for optimizing engine and transmission control units.
Key features and functionalities
DTC (Diagnostic Trouble Code) Removal: XDecoder allows users to disable or remove specific DTCs from the ECU, which can be useful in resolving issues related to certain sensors or components, according to OBDII365.com. This feature is also described as “DTC OFF” or “Fault Code Removal”.
Chip Tuning/Performance Optimization: The platform enables performance enhancements by modifying parameters like fuel injection timing, turbo boost pressure, and air/fuel mixture settings in the ECU It offers solutions for Stage 1-2 tuning
Emissions System Management: XDecoder can be used to disable or manage components like D-P-F (Diesel Particulate Filter), EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation), AdBlue, Lambda, and CAT (Catalytic Converter) systems.
Transmission Optimization: It also offers transmission optimization features, including DSG (Direct Shift Gearbox) optimization for smoother gear changes and launch control adjustments.
Wide Compatibility: XDecoder boasts a large database of over 130,000 files with unique DAMOS mapping technology for various vehicle makes and models
Additionally, if the uploaded file is not original, XirDecoder will detect non-original maps such as D-P-F or EGR and notify you. If desired, you can convert only the D-P-F and EGR maps back to their original state
How it works
Read ECU File: A master device is used to read the ECU’s file from the vehicle.
Upload to XDecoder: The read file is uploaded to the XDecoder software platform.
AI Analysis and Optimization: The platform’s AI analyzes the file and suggests tuning options, or you can select specific modifications.
Download Modified File: The system processes the file based on the selected options and provides the modified file for download.
Write to ECU: The modified file is then written back to the ECU using a suitable device
Considerations
Legality: The legality of modifying emission systems (like D-P-F, EGR, AdBlue) may vary by region and can have serious environmental and legal consequences. It’s crucial to understand and comply with local regulations before considering such modifications.
Risks: ECU tuning carries inherent risks, and improper modifications can potentially damage the engine or other vehicle components.
Support: XDecoder provides support for its users, including a system for creating support requests and chat with tuners
Software Activation: The software license is activated online and is linked to a specific computer.
Renewal Fees: Annual renewal fees may be required to maintain account activation.

Finally aslfter some hours of working I used another PC and install device and upgrade passed and all is OK. But on originalmone device is not recognized even after reinstallnsoftware. But multiprog working now ( seems )
I changed laptop. Maked new inatallation of software and connect it . It was recognized as HW but name I don’t remember ( it was not as multiprog device or something. ) so tryed to make again FW update and it start working and making update. On multiprog too as Insend last picture. Yhan device start working OK and was not stucked anymore. Than tryed to connect to original computer and still wnas not recognized as it was before.

Before changing PC I tryed all what i can reinstall driver, repair driver…..
So for this kind of issue, customer can try to change a PC to install software again. Then machine will work.
(OEM Key) word means Xhorse Key on the key tool plus.
Original Key is customer key that you have.
Have to hold a battery in the Xhorse key while reading or generating. Same with original key.
Update the key BEFORE you generate the dealer key. There are a lot of different key options. Match the frequency and the picture then update.
We removed capacitors and did not replace. Keys works as before.
Bring replacement key shells. You will likely destroy the original key shell when opening. Plus it is a nice touch to have a brand new case on the customer key. I practiced on used remotes. Opening and reading key date before working on customer keys.
