Bdm To Go

Bdm To Go (latest version 1.0.0.1) is a robust program developed by EVC electronic GmbH aimed at providing newcomers the ability to read out and program BDM ECUs. Packed in a lightweight 7.2 MB package, this tool, named BDM_To_Go.exe, runs exclusively on Windows XP.

For those looking for a freeware tool in the Security category, specifically under Privacy, Bdm To Go offers an intuitive interface designed in an assistant style. This interface ensures that a user can only move to the next step after successfully completing the previous one. One of the key features is its support for the readout and programming of all elements of an ECU with a BDM interface.

The program incorporates a unique, scrambled data format for file transport, ensuring that tuners retain complete control over their intellectual property. Notably, saving ECU content as an open binary file is not possible, adding an extra layer of security. Users can manage already readout and programmed files and input specific car and customer data. The flexibility to use a personal logo in the interface also adds a professional touch.

Another remarkable feature is that the BDM driver kernel used in Bdm To Go is identical to that in WinOLS, heightening compatibility for users who are already familiar with WinOLS. While the latest version available is 1.0.0.1, past versions like 1.8, and 1.0 can also be found.

For those who need a free and reliable solution to manage their BDM ECUs, the download of Bdm To Go comes highly recommended.

• Intuitive assistant-style user interface.
• Scrambled data format ensures secure file transport.
