I agree, the lack of attracting new clients is key here
And thats because no development was implemented to Autohex the last 8 years

So now the old customers had to pay the price for that !

Really bad, 4-5 years no updates for Autohex.... and 1 year and no updates for hexprog, then saying that new hw is needed? same also for hexprog in next days? This is a joke.,,, How many lies? We are customers paying for an anual fee expecting serious updates.
... enet for BDC2 unlock? diag can is needed... we are not stupid.... what a shame
To be honest im done with autohex. Not going to pay license 350 usd for nothing + 500 usd for a new interface so send same UDS comands hahahah, we are stupids

1. OBD II-CAS1.2.3.4 FEM/BDC.BDC2 (ECU ISN RED & AKL)

2. I would like an adapter compatible with Chinese test platforms.

A test program would be a plus.

3. Multi-language support update.

4. Regarding the key program, adding keys is important, but it is useless without AKL.

I thank Micronics for their hard work and hope they continue to strive for excellence.

Tell me what Microtronik hard work did you see in last few years ?? Some examples ?

hexprog 2 i guess _ which is not bad only boring thing is discontinuation on the hextag/hexprog programmer in blankin the so called new keys to support the then bdc2 key program feature

Hi everyone,
I understand why you’d see it that way, but the real value behind it is how AutoHex II HW5 represents a complete overhaul in processing power, safety, and compatibility for modern vehicle architectures, especially the newest generation of BMW electronics. In the end, what matters most is whether it consistently delivers real results for technicians and users in actual diagnostic and programming work.

As mentioned,
We tried our best to make HW4 stable in the new software, but there is no way to make it reliable in ENET protocols. The MCU is very slow to handle the new programming methods in Autohxth. The same applies to USB. We are not forcing you to upgrade your hardware. You can continue using the current features available on HW4. However, New GUI requires HW5 sir and if your Autohex is hw4 , we recommend you to upgrade to HW5

This topic is about AutohexII not Hexprog.

Regarding HW 5, it's a sweet fart to justify taking money for nothing. BMW itself took care of the security and stability of the transmission, resulting in ENET, which is used by every serious device on the market today. That's all there is to it!
But ENET is free, and since Microtronik wants to take money for nothing (because it doesn't introduce new solutions), it's best to tie the software to the interface and charge for the interface. That's all for laughs.
Why do we need a new interface? Users want good solutions and a good tool, paying an annual subscription, not a new interface. This one may be straight out of WinXP, but let the tool do what users pay for! Nothing More.

BIG joke nothing more or less, anyway im selling mine and is full set that i did pay 5500 for and buy BMW Explorer
as for updates, there is nothing to crack anymore so they have no updates...

and mark my word this and other threads will be gone soon as this is bad for them, so im going to open one on very big auto forum where they are also member so i can remove the BS they post there

Why not to be more honest and charge for a new license to BDC2 key add....? but the troyan horse is new HW?... be honest..... dcan protocol is not new..... kdcan cable can handle that, atmega162 is enough.....enet is not a processor, is a protocol.... I really dont understand whats the meaning of the arguments.... There is no need of new HW... they neeed to charge to people to get money,/ROI... but this is not the way...

I dont understand when you talk about modern automotive arquitectures....... DOIP????? It has been working for more than 15 years in BMW... and Autohex is fully compatible...

This is not respectful to customers

o my god...people were mad but now....are pissed of
for the first time when i find out that autohex play dirty was when i find that even if i pay for locksmith full pack (not lite) programing the fem bdc was not included
the proces for unlocking require update fem so i ask them and the answer was you need to pay for programing
so i did it with esys without pay 350$ more every year
and set the price to 500$ fot that hw....for your oldest clients....is shameless
i gave them a few files for md1 spc with working hours reseted a year ago....they didnt implemented in tool

pay for license to bdc2???? are you insane??? after 4 years of license for exact nothing??????? i hope you was drunk when you write that

...subscription fee $750 plus buying new hardware at $500 for bdc2 key programming really doesnt make sense 😕 and this being charged at loyal old customers is cruel somehow !!!

And isn't taking money without making any updates over the last few years cruel? This is the manufacturer's financial strategy aimed at taking money for nothing.

exactly, if you have full version like me its 1250 in total for nothing

Hi Everyone,
You can still continue using the current features available on your HW4, and we completely respect your decision either way.
However, we would like you to understand that the new GUI requires HW5 hardware. The HW4 platform was developed more than 6 years ago, and the technology is now outdated. We have made numerous attempts to make it compatible with the new GUI/interface, but unfortunately, there is no reliable way to support the newer ENET protocols on the older hardware.

The MCU on HW4 is simply too slow to handle the latest programming methods implemented in AutoHex. The same limitations also apply to USB communication.

The upgrade price reflects the value of the new hardware and its capabilities. With the HW5 replacement, users only pay for the new hardware, and we already include the BDC2 cable at no additional cost. If purchased separately, the BDC2 cable costs $75. The HW5 replacement cost is only $500, plus $60 for standard shipping.

In line with the license renewal price remains the same; we have not increased or changed it.
Of course, it is entirely your choice whether to renew the license or not, and we fully respect your decision either way. We simply want to provide the available options so you can choose what works best for your needs.

Appreciate your understanding with regards to this matter.

Regards,
Microtronik
