How to distinguish the original and copy Tango Key Programmer?
Our Tango is original. For original device, there is the serial number. You can use this serial number to register your information on official website, then download the latest software to update your device online.

Update: This one is original. You need to update it when new software release.

Attention: After generating a new transponder with TANGO Programmer, you will not need any additional diagnostic equipment to program the generated transponder to the car! It will start the car directly, even on new FIAT CODE 2 system, also used in PSA Group vehicles! Only you have to write the new file back into the immobilizer system!

TCS-CDP pro clone can't read BMW ECU [user solution]

I have recently purchased new TSC-CDP pro from China. Software supplied with its softwware 2014 release 2. The software installed and activated OK. i tested the unit and it passed the test OK; but unluckily, it does not communicate with any car... only use USB cable ( not bothered with Bluetooth). After vehicle selection, the system cannot read ECUs and generates silly error messages "Vehicle not responding (Fahrzeug antwortet nicht)".

Error message:
Startup
Initiation of the tester... YES
Searching for the interface... YES
Establish communication... NO
(ISO 157656-4, SAW J1939-21)
Vehicle not responding
The vehicle is not responding to the diagnosis inquiry made. Please make sure that the tester is correctly connected to the vehicle and that the ignition is turned on, and try again to establish communication. If communication fails again, it is possible that the diagnosis function is not supported.
Software:
2014 release 2.
The software installed and activated OK...and tested the unit and it passed the test OK
Hardware: (new VCI), Serial No.100251, eOBD 114, Firmware version 1423.
* First modification- FAILED!
I tested on Mercs and BMW. I opened the CDP unit and observed that two boards are not connected correctly. So, I pushed them together. This has improved a bit, as the unit now makes a clicking noise when connected to a car. Even can read the VIN, but on BMW failed to read the ECU. I will try later on a different car. But this is already a bad news (no BMWs).

Then, I contacted the supplier and was informed that this TCS-CDP DOES NOT WORK with BMWs and Mercedes cars !!!!!

* Second modification- FAILED!
Then i was told that "the device actually does not work on any vehicle that uses SAE J1850 (PWM and VPW) because it has a fake OKI m6636 or it does not have it at all... The OKI chip is only for cars that support the PWM/VPWM protocol like Ford. BMW didn't use the PWM/VPWM protocol." And this user did fix the problem and used the same interface for all BMW cars..TCS CDP interface, removed from old devices like tv´s, radio´s etc. check all solder Joints of all components (especially relays)..

But I didn’t try that, and decided to purchase another TCS CDP from a different supplier. White this time... When it arrived I tested it immediately on the same BMW 7 E66… and guess what …. Same problems remained.
New TCS CDP white:
***** Third modification- Successfully SOLVED finally!
the problem with the m6636 is in the cdp pro, not in cdp+. replace the 2 diodes (D701 and D703) with 1n4148. back the pcb.
Then gained the communication with BMW car which I could not communicate with before.
So, well DONE!

Ps. To avoid problems above, i recommend you all to buy the OK version as my friend used, without any issues so far. you can see his PCB below. He bought this from
http://www.obdexpress.co.uk/wholesale/tcs-cdp-pro-diagnostic-bluetooth-a.html
It is said that it’s the best clone CDP from China

(someone also said a 100% solution in mhhauto forum:
have to install
Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5
and
Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1
and all is 100%

But i didn’t tru it. Maybe it works!

How to use K+DCAN cable for BMW airbag ECU replacement

You will learn how to replace BMW airbag ECU using K+DCAN INPA USB cable + NCS Expert software.

You need:
7mm socket
10mm socket
1/4" extensions
1/4" ratchet
screw driver
NCS Expert
USB OBD cable for BMW
OBD2 20pin cable
You can get the adapters on obd2express for €15-25. For you'll need the usb OBD2 and the OBD2 20 pin adapter, so you are advised to buy a bundle to save money (K+DCAN cable + 20pin to 16pin connector).  The software also can be got in the package for free. You should head to the diagnostic sub-forum, because there's ton of information about diagnostic tools. NCS Expert is part of EDIBAS. So, the cables you need should be like these:

Step-by-step instruction on BMW airbag ECU replacement:

NOTE:
Follow the instruction below AT YOUR OWN RISK.
1. Remove the battery negative cable.

2. To remove the rear cup holder lift up the rear vent (1) and pull the cup holder (2) out.
3. Pull down the rear vent (1) and remove.

4. Remove the two screws and two nuts circled in red.
5. Remove the armrest and the tray under it.

6. Remove the two easily accessible nuts holding the airbag control module.
7. The third is a bit tricky to get to. It can be access via the hole circled in red. In the first picture you can barely make out the nut. In the second I've pushed the rear air duct to gain access to the nut. Any of my sockets didn't fit through the hole so I had to put the extension through it and then install the socket on it inside the center console. A bit tricky to do, but not too bad.
8. Remove the Airbag ECU connector. This type of connector is used in number of places on your e39. You'll need to pull the green locking clip towards the rear of the car to release it. If you want to practice how to do it you can find similiar connector on Cd-changer, NAV computer etc.

9. Take out the old Airbad ECU and install the new one. Remember to put back the grounding wire under the nut (1).

10. Assemble everything back together. To install the third nut put a piece of paper between the socket and the nut so the nut won't fall off.

11. Code the new Airbag ECU. I did this with NCS Expert. A great how to code with NCS expert can be found at http://obd2-diag.blogspot.com/2016/06/bmw-coding-with-ncs-expert-user-solution.html
