 Looking for a reliable way to program a 2024 Volvo S60 when all keys are lost? This tutorial provides a direct, step-by-step walkthrough using the Lonsdor K518 Pro. We cover everything from CEM data extraction to final OBD key matching to get you back on the road quickly.

Hardware Requirements

Before starting, ensure you have these essential tools ready:

• Lonsdor K518 Pro Programmer.
• KPROG-2 Adapter
• LC202 cable.
• OBD communication cable.
• A new Volvo smart key.

CEM Data Extraction (Bench Mode)

Because all keys are lost, you must first read the security data directly from the Central Module (CEM).

• Disassemble the CEM: Remove the CEM box from the vehicle.
• Connect Equipment: Link the LC202 cable to the K518 Pro and the KPROG adapter according to the wiring diagram.
• Software Menu: Select IMMO & Remote >> Volvo >> S60 >> 2022- >> Program smart key >> Read CEM Data,
• Name your file, and wait for the "Read successfully" confirmation.
• Reinstall: Once the data is backed up, fit the CEM box back into the vehicle.

Smart Key Programming (OBD Mode)

With the data saved, move to the vehicle’s interior to finish the process via the OBDII port.

• Plug in OBD: Connect the K518 Pro to the car’s OBD port.
• Select Function: Navigate to IMMO & Remote >> Volvo >> S60 >> 2022- > Program Smart Key >> All Smart Key Lost >> Load CEM data to obtain 10 bits security code >> Select the CEM data file you just saved.
• Clear Keys: The system will delete all old keys; confirm to proceed.
• Learn New Key: Place the new smart key in the vehicle’s induction area (usually the center console).
• Complete: The device will show "Programmed key: 1." Click Cancel to end the process.

Final Testing

Verify the new key’s performance before finishing:

• Engine Start: Step on the brake and turn the start button to ensure the car drives normally.
• Remote Control: Test the lock and unlock buttons to confirm the remote frequency is working.

(Solved) KEYDIY KD-X4 VW MQB49 5C Stuck in Key Learning Mode

 If you’re working on a 2021 VW Jetta (Mexico) with all keys lost and your Keydiy KD-X4 or Yanhua ACDP2 gets stuck showing a "1–1" code, don’t panic. This simple fix has worked for multiple users.

What Happens?

You follow the normal AKL (All Keys Lost) procedure using a dealer pre-coded key. The tool detects the key and enters learning mode, but the vehicle simply won’t start. The screen shows a frozen "1–1" indicator — a clear sign the ECU is stuck.

You’ve already tried:

• Using a power booster
• Checking for SFD (none present)

Nothing works.

The Solution (No Special Tools Required)

This fix requires nothing more than a basic wrench and 10 minutes of patience.

Step 1: Open the vehicle bonnet

Step 2: Locate the battery and disconnect the negative (-) terminal

Step 3: Wait for 10 full minutes — this allows the ECU to fully reset

Step 4: Reconnect the negative terminal

Step 5: Perform the key programming sequence exactly as you did before

Does It Work?

Yes. Here’s what one user reported after trying this fix:

"Update: FIXED AFTER DISCONNECTING BATTERY FOR 10 mins negative then programming key. Disconnected negative for 10 mins, reconnected, the learned now it is good!"

Why This Works

Disconnecting the battery for an extended period drains residual capacitance in the vehicle’s modules, forcing a full reset of the ECU and immobilizer system. This clears the stuck "1–1" learning state and allows the key programming to complete successfully.

Yanhua ACDP2 with Module 45 Correct VW DQ38x_GEN2 Mileage

 This guide demonstrates mileage correction on 2022+ VW DQ38x0DE/0GC and DQ500 0DL transmissions (BH1G0401 bootloader, 7-pin connector) using Yanhua Mini ACDP1/ACDP2 with Module 45 on bench.

Important Notes:

ACDP1 Module 45 — compatible with Yanhua ACDP1 only

ACDP2 Module 45 — compatible with Yanhua ACDP2 only

Step-by-Step Procedure

Step 1: Verify TCU Type

Confirm the TCU features the new 7-pin plug (see illustration).

This is essential, as older gearboxes require a different connection method.

Step 2: Connect Device

Open the hood, locate and disconnect the original gearbox connector.

Connect Mini ACDP-1/ACDP-2 and corresponding Module 45 SH25xx-0DE interface board to the gearbox.

Move the jumper cap to the "CAN-R" position (as marked).

Power on Yanhua ACDP device.

Step 3: Identify Info

Run ACDP app and verify device connection in the upper right corner.

Navigate to VW/AUDI → Gearbox mileage correction → VW → DQ38x_GEN2 (0DE/0GC).

Tap "Identify info" to view system details.

Confirm current mileage (e.g., 17150 km) and system run time (453h).

Screenshot and save this information.

Step 4: Correct Mileage (Auto Mode)

Select "Mileage correction (auto mode)."

Read system info and chip info, then save EEPROM data.

Enter desired new mileage (e.g., 16300 km).

Start writing chip data — mileage calibration is now complete.

Step 5: Correct Time (Auto Mode)

Select "Time correction (auto mode)."

Confirm system info — the mileage should now display your modified value.

Save EEPROM data, then enter new system run time (e.g., 450).

Ready to write the chip. Correct run time completed successfully.

License Note:

If you already own any of these modules (ACDP Module 19 / 25 / 30 or ACDP2 Module 19 / 25 / 30), you need only purchase Module 45 license (A60B) to access VW DQ38x_Gen2 functionality — no additional Module 45 hardware is required.

VW DQ38x_GEN2 Gearbox Read & Write by Yanhua Module 45

 How to use Yanhua ACDP2 to read and write 2022- DQ38x_GEN2 gearbox data?

ACDP Module 45 is required to access this functionality.

Preparation:

• Mini ACDP1 with ACDP1 Module 45

Or Mini ACDP2 with ACDP2 Module 45

• Android/IOS Smartphone/ tablet with installed ACDP APP

Steps to read and write 2022- DQ38x_GEN2 Gearbox:

Step 1 — Check Your TCU Type

First things first — make sure you’ve got the new TCU with a 7-pin connector.

(X) Older gearboxes? They use a different hookup and won’t work here.

Step 2 — Hook Everything Up

Connect your Mini ACDP1 (or ACDP2) and the Module 45 interface board to your VW gearbox.

Flip the jumper cap to "CAN-R" — just follow the marking on the board.

Power up your ACDP key programmer.

Step 3 — Identify Gearbox Info

Open ACDP app on your Android or iPhone.

Make sure your ACDP device shows as connected.

Go here:

VW/AUDI → Gearbox RD/WR → VW → DQ38x_Gen2 (0DE/0GC)

Tap [Identify info].

Look at the BOOT version — it should say BH1G0401. Snap a screenshot for safekeeping.

ACDP app will dig up the chip info. When it’s done, tap OK.

Step 4 — Back Everything Up

Tap [Full Backup Data].

Take another screenshot of the system info.

Save the chip data.

Then just wait for the backup to finish.

Step 5 — Write to a New Gearbox

Unplug the first gearbox.

Connect your Yanhua ACDP + Module 45 to a different DQ38x Gen2 gearbox.

Tap [Full write data].

Check the BOOT version again — still BH1G0401, right? Great. Screenshot it.

Pick the original chip data file (the one you just backed up).

Double-check everything matches the new gearbox.

! Super important:

Do NOT turn off the power or unplug anything while writing. You could fry the chip.

Hit start and let it do its thing.

When you see the confirmation message on screen — congratulations, you’re done!

In addition, Yanhua Mini ACDP2 with Module 45 also can correct mileage for 2022- DQ38x 0DE/0GC and DQ500 0DL (bootloader of BH1G401 and 7-PIN connector) on bench.

How to Generate VW MQB49 5C/5D Dealer Key with VVDI2/Key Tool MIDI?

Generating a dealer key for the VW MQB49 5C/5D system is a standard procedure for automotive locksmiths. This guide provides a step-by-step workflow using Xhorse MULTI-PROG for data reading, and Xhorse VVDI2 or Key Tool MIDI for dealer key generation. This method ensures high compatibility with VVDI smart keys and reliable vehicle synchronization.

Step 1: Read IMMO Data with MULTI-PROG

The first step involves extracting the vehicle’s security data to create a valid key file.

• Tool Required: Use Xhorse MULTI-PROG to access the EEPROM/IMMO data.
• Connection: The hardware supports both soldering and solder-free adapter methods.
• File Management: Save the read IMMO data file carefully; it is essential for the following steps.

For detailed steps, please refer to:

Two Ways to Generate Original VW 5C 5D Dealer Key by Multi-Prog

Step 2: Generate VVDI Smart Key

Before finalizing the dealer key, you must prepare the VVDI remote hardware for the MQB49 system.

Method A: Using VVDI2
