Activation/Adapter	ACDP needs adapters to work with. You should buy different adapters for various modules: CAS1-4+ immo; FEM/BDC immo & dashboard; FRM footwell module (0L15Y 3M25J); 35080, 35160DO WT Eeprom. And you should have another adapter to read ISN; adapter to read DME ISN (when all keys are lost); adapter to renew key. Btw, you can get a Mini ACDP FULL kit.	CGDI doesn’t need adapter to work with. But you need another programmer to read modules, need a cable to read DME ISN from MSV and MSD And you should get authorization for some functions: BWM FEM/BDC Authorization

In short,
If you are not equipped with soldering knowledge & rich experience and don’t have another tool to read modules, Yanhua ACDP can be a good helper.
For personal use, you’re advised to have a Mini ACDP main unit and the adapter for your BMW.
For auto repair, have a Mini ACDP FULL kit = have all for BMW key *** and module programming.
