The ZN046 is an adapter for renewing used keys in order for them to be programmed to another vehicle. It is an invaluable tool for all locksmiths, used with the ABPROG programmer.

Supported keys:

All types of keys with a PCF processor

(full supported list in the Compatibility tab, pinout available in the Technical specifications tab)

During the key renewal procedure, the adapter is soldered onto the PCB of the key and connected to the ABPROG programmer.

Note: This ABPROG function will allow you to use any HITAG Key with any vehicle that uses HITAG as long as the keys are from the same HITAG Generation.

After the soldering, the DB-25 male side of the add-on needs to be connected to the DB-25 female connector of the ABPROG ZN045.

After which, the male DB-15 part of the ZN045 needs to be connected to the female DB-15 connector on the AVDI.

The following photos will show you how the connection points on the key PCBs look like, so that you can proceed with the soldering.

Note: If a wiring diagram is missing in the software, please send an email to support@abrites.com together with your AVDI ID and a picture of the key you want to renew with its product version.

The following photos will show you how a soldered PCB looks like. The Example is of a BMW F-Series

HUF Key PCB:

Once the cables of the ABPROG Adapter are soldered to the PCB, the ABPROG software can be started.

Select the “PCF” Option from the “Select” menu and the PCB model you are about to renew. After the desired options are selected, you can click on “Program” to renew the key and make it virgin. Click on “Yes” to confirm the renewal process.

Once the procedure is completed, you will see the “KEY Write finished successfully message”. This means that the key is now renewed and made virgin. You can continue with programming the key to another car.

The Abrites ABPROG EWS3 Reader (ZN055 - ABPROG EWS3 adapter) allows you to read the EWS3 Dump from the EWS3 cars in order to program a key, and it is very useful when working on the BMW models. Supported vehicles:

BMW E46/E53/E85/E83/E39/E38/E52 (equipped with a EWS3 module)

The tool attaches to the ABPROG programmer which attaches to the AVDI interface in order to read the EWS3 dump.

Once you have read the EWS3’s dump, you will be able to save it on your computer. Then you will be able to load this dump in the PROTAG software and program a key using it. With the help of the EWS3 Adapter you will no longer need to use third party EWS3 Programmers to read the EWS dump.

This is a wire extender for the ZN031 - ABPROG EEPROM/BCM adapter, used to read chips without removing them from the PCB in tasks such as reading the EEPROM of the FEM/BDC module in BMW F-series vehicles.

This adapter is used to read V850E2 single-wire (RX+TX) micro controllers using the ABPROG programmer. The adapter is connected to the ABprog and the wires are soldered to specific points.

This adapter is exclusively used with the ZN030 ABPROG programmer and is not a standalone product.

The newly developed ABPROG-compatible adapter, replacing the ZN034

The ZN078 adapter is the updated version of the ZN034 flat cable, developed and designed by Abrites. It is used in procedures like reading and writing processors which require communication via separate RX/TX lines.

Main functionalities:

• Reading, erasing and writing unlocked V850ES MCUs

• Reading and writing all other modules where a direct connection to the PCB is required
  

The adapter is used with the Abrites ABPROG programmer (ZN030).

This function is intended for BDM reading of EDC16XX/MED9.XX ECU memory. In order to read the ECU memory in BDM you will need ZN045 ABPROG programmer, ZN073 BDM adapter and an external power supply for working on bench.

• Warning: Please adhere to the provided sequence of operations. Failure to do so may lead to unintended consequences, the least of which is a bricked ECU.
• Note: The BDM Programmer requires the ECU to be removed from the vehicle, as the programming needs to take place on a workbench.
• Тools needed: 12/24V power supply, soldering iron, double-row 1.27mm pitch PCB headers

Please ensure you follow the steps below when connecting or disconnecting the ECU:

1. Ensure both AVDI and the ECU are powered off.

2. Remove ECU from vehicle and open it on workbench.

3. Solder 14-pin header on BDM test points, as indicated in example picture (picture coming soon)

4. Connect the BDM adapter to the ECU using a ribbon cable. Warning: incorrect wiring may cause permanent damage to the adapter and/or the ECU.

5. Connect the BDM adapter(ZN073) to ABProg(ZN045).

6. Connect the ABProg(ZN045) to AVDI.

7. Connect AVDI to PC.

8. Power on AVDI.

Ensure orange LED on BDM adapter is ON

9. Power ON the ECU – it should immediately enter Debug mode

*This is achieved by connecting the ECU to an external 12V power source using the ECU’s connector, specifically its B+ and GND pins, with options like ZN051 and ZN074 for power supply. Ensure green LED on BDM adapter is ON

10. Launch the Abrites programming software

11. Select the desired ECU memory from the software menu

12. Select desired operation (read/erase/program). Note: If you want to program the ECU, the selected memory must first be erased

13. When finished, exit the user application

14. Power off the ECU

15. Power off AVDI and disconnect BDM adapter from target ECU

IMPORTANT NOTE: Do not write anything in the first 8 bytes of the MPC processor shadow rows, unless you are completely certain in what you do. The shadow rows contain censoring information, and fiddling with it may lead to locking out the processor without possibility for unlocking.

Connector A - Standard BDM

(10 Pins)

Connector B - BOSCH EDC BDM (14 Pins)

Using the ZN086 you can read unlocked MC9S12’s from the xExxx series - PFlash, DFlash and EEPROM data, save them, and later write to another module. The whole procedure takes minutes and allows you to adapt these modules in the vehicle (clone the donor module onto the new/used one).

Important: The PIN that needs lifting, is specific for each processor, and you need to find that information first. Since there are many variations, you will need to do your own research and get to the processor’s data sheet. The PIN that needs lifting is the “RST” or reset PIN.

The ZN086 adapter is soldered onto four points on the PCB (one of which is the lifted pin) and then connected to the ABPROG > the ABPROG is connected to AVDI, and AVDI to your laptop.

You can either use the Upgraded or Classic version of the software.

First, you need to read PFlash and EEPROM, save them, and then program them on the replacement module’s PCB.

MC9S12 processor is used in a variety of modules, such as DSM and ISM in FBS4 Mercedes-Benz vehicles, etc.

Below you may find a picture of the adapter, and where the option in the software is located - from the main screen you need to click “select” and find the options.
