hi

If you read carefully package comes with 2 free calculations at day,
that means you can do two cars logging them at day.

Not bad, thinking that vvbenz ask to have condor for getting one calculation free.

best regards

On promotion 599 USD now. Yesterday was 559 :D

you think online calculation work with $$ :meaty:

[lion0304]

This device also work with tokens for password online calculation, like VVDI BGA?

Here is info from dealer about token for CGDI MB:

[16/10/2017 14:22:00] Anna wong: free taken half year
[16/10/2017 14:22:10] Anna wong: after that twich free in each day
[16/10/2017 14:22:38] Anna wong: if u calculate more ,than need to charge 8usd for 30times and 16usd for 60times

Also all key lost need ONLY 1 token

[whiskeyman]

need to get this device working for eis on the bench
how to do W207 lost keys on bench
seem impossible to do with ir key

vvdi can do this no problem

[whiskeyman]

we have same problem as this too

[lion0304]

need to get this device working for eis on the bench
how to do W207 lost keys on bench

vvdi can do this no problem

Some users report that W210 dont work on bench with IR reader. They said: function IR reader on bench not use for some old EZS with HC05. W209 211 164 need gateway like VVDI.

In car CGDI work good, also for 204 or other on bench need cable, and you can use VVDI cables for that (connector and pin are Benz standard)

I'll have mine the next week, delay 10 days because stock.

Also, why absolutely need to compare to VVDI, CGDI is new tool and need more function developement. By that way, need also to compare with Diagspeed, NEc Pro.....But and end, CGDI is 1/3 VVDI price, 1/10 Diagspeed price....in the few next days, they will update function for ECU and ESL (now button still grey)

Sure if you already have VVDI, there are no many benefit to have CGDI now. In my country, clients ask for spare key, i cannot do because no one let me take out EZS.

Now with CGDI, i can give them what they need.

[whiskeyman]

i am just pointing out what can be improved for all users
if we dont report it not get more development
and we need to compare or benchmark to other tools what it can and cant do

and yes i am using the vvdi cable set to test
but really needs the on the bench setup sorted as many i need to do on the bench

also a relay of some kind fitted to the cable would have been a benefit instead of in and out ignition 400 times

Agree 100% with you about need improved function and report what work and not for now in this device.

CGDI is new tool, just come to market less than 3 months, what i can see in video and some users posted, report back succesful: For me it's good tool and have many good furtur.

Even VVDI, and others (more expensive price) have problem when begining and still have too. The most thing that many ask for is: Absent clearly manual to work correctly on bench: All key lost.

Manual almost report by some users for now, dealer is not very active in this point too.

With their tool, i think cgcarprog give benefit for all users (even vvdi users). Their tools and pricing kick a hit on the ass some others company who are vorace in the money and abused their reputation to make high price.

One report that Xhorse already ask 399$ for life time calculation. And maybe in the next futur, it'll be FREE, who know???

This tool is the best invetissement return for now even with youth problems.

[K1nd3r]

seems this tool is vvdi clone, or no

[bersch8688]

I will say ---> THATS NOT VVDI CLONE !!!

One user open CGDI and he say, PCB is complete other than from VVDI and MCU is other than from VVDI !!!

[whiskeyman]

nothing like vvdi clone

[vageric]

its all clone! (copy software).
the hardware can be different but software is clone.

[whiskeyman]

ok its not the merc tool happy???
he asked if clone of vvdi

[lion0304]

Report from Sparky user:
W203 with W209 EZS all key lost, done in the car about 70mn: Succesful.
Another user: Calculation PSW alway the first time, never fail.

[p1et]

I was hesitating for couple of weeks if it's worth to but this tool but after plenty of positive opinions, finally I ordered CGDI Benz and will make a test on my W204 as soon as I get it :)

I don’t understand when we have CGDI tool working all by OBD why lads want the tool to work on the bench???http://www.digital-kaos.co.uk/forums/images/smilies/dontknow.gif

[p1et]

I don’t understand when we have CGDI tool working all by OBD why lads want the tool to work on the bench???:dontknow:

For example if car is some further from workshop and you must spent time driving to the car or customer is just TOO far to drive, so then he can sent EIS or drive by himself bringing EIS it with him at workshop. It's time saver and what if tool will not work via OBD? You will loose many time driving ex. 30 miles x2. If you have on bench, you can work at your place without risk of wasting time. Also calculating psw at the place of car might last 30 minutes, 1 hour in all keys lost? It's much time to sit in the car + you have to take care of battery charger. If you have on bench, you can drink a coffee or a beer if you want and enjoy the waiting time :victorious:

Still no tool which can do all merc by OBD anyway...

[bersch8688]

CGDI work not on all by OBD

W906 Sprinter dont work
W230 SL55 AMG 2006 dont work

You relay want to have tool for 500 euros and do all this, common m8.

If you want to have something like that, then you need to invest big money 7000-10000 euros.

I think you misunderstood my post mate or at least just the last sentence :) I replied to a post which meant like CGDI will do all merc by OBD (like there wouldn't be need for bench option programming) and I just said it does not and there is no other tool which does and let's hope there won't be at current CGDI price :D


mate drinking a bear is very dangerous haha :beheaded::beheaded:

EDITED hahahah. Too much joking with my friend about that word cause 1 time one of our friends said that and we used to say 'bear' instead of 'beer' in our conversations and now that was the result when I needed to be serious hahah

[whiskeyman]

like vvdi which has been on the go as far as i remember about 2011 when i got my first device from them
it started small
so lets see if gets bigger and better

[lion0304]

need to get this device working for eis on the bench
how to do W207 lost keys on bench
seem impossible to do with ir key

vvdi can do this no problem

W204/W207 no problem in bench, use with VVDI cable report by:
Alessandro silva w204 allkey lost ok 100porcetnto

Report by Eric:
W204 get data: About hour
PSW W204: 11minute all key lost in bench with VVDI cable
He had VVDI and CGDI, said CGDI is faster and no problem to get PSW:

W164 need gateway

[lion0304]

Probably price with go UP"" ''''''''''' '''''''''''':biggrin:

Do not do it mate to push members to bay this on some video not tested and pictures
just to know ;)
when you put a real complete record of a couple of cars, I'll change my mind

I don't think he had this idea to push members bying this device.

He just share his experience from device, and i think he is happy with it. That why the reason for this thread.

He had VVDI BGA, Simon Benz and CGDI

[whiskeyman]

[kevfield]

@Kevfield

CGDI i cheaper than VVDI thats right!

Agree that its less money to buy, but it's price reflects it's poor performance , and i see many people say and dream that it is better , but il assure you it is not!
also i did not say that anyone was anything to do with being a baby goat!!

Thanks Kev

[bersch8688]

Thats right

The time will say is CGDI good tool or not ;-)

[whiskeyman]

for me not good tool
but each to their own

[lion0304]

First test, trying reading W209 EZS on bench using VVDI pinout and Diagspeed. Cannot read.

Do i make mistake when making???

I have no car to test more this tool

Hi.

Every advertisement says that CGDI Prog MB can calculate the password twice free every day.
In most salespeople do not talk for how long, and if it is undefined, but a salesperson said that the free calculation is for only 6 months, can someone tell you how long this free calculation is?

Look at post #37

Yesteday test online calculation, very fast, less than minute. And the counter (10) decrease to 9.

Today it become 10 again. So i think for now until 6 months, i can calculate 10 time/day.

hi all and thankyou for sharing experiences.

When using OBD, need disconnect ESL connector and look for K line pin to connect Yellow clip

When using on bench: look for EZS-ELV wiring and plug the clip to kline pin

They promised to sort out, but why couldn’t Anna wong just activate my 2 interfaces over Skype seems very odd situation I’m in , as anyone else had this problem??’:02.47-tranquillity:485803

so you purchased yours directly from her? I’ve just read she doesn’t like when people buy from other sellers, but she is Cgdi service, my interface is manufactured by company she works for, or does she own company?

Now problem are keys, I bought 10 keys at autokeys in the past, cgdi show that are BE keys, I can read/write without problem, but I am testing with a W211 EZS and is not working any key, but original black key is working like charm, I think keys are wrong, anybody know if I am making something wrong? EZS is readed fine with xprog and keys are calculated and programmed fine, but it doesn't turn ezs.

Anybody know where to buy nice china keys? I see one with two batteries, maybe this are better?

Did u reset keys before write?
or try to make dump by obd with cgdi and then calculate keys

[H.Wessel]

Did u reset keys before write?
or try to make dump by obd with cgdi and then calculate keys

Yes, I reset and write 5 keys a lot of times hahaha

I can not make dump by obd because I only have ezs and I think that for read w211 by obd I need gateway and I don't have cables yet, but I think that by obd is the same that upload dump, dump must be the same...

[p1et]

Mine is also activated and working :D

Now problem are keys, I bought 10 keys at autokeys in the past, cgdi show that are BE keys, I can read/write without problem, but I am testing with a W211 EZS and is not working any key, but original black key is working like charm, I think keys are wrong,

Regards!

This is the first time you trying to program those keys or did you succesfsully programmed them before to other ignition?

[H.Wessel]

This is the first time you trying to program those keys or did you succesfsully programmed them before to other ignition?

First time bro, I have this ezs with one key at my workshop and I was trying CGDI, I think that is bad key because I also tried with IR cheap programmer and same problem, key doesn't turn, this is why I asked if anybody know a good supplier for china keys.

[obdmaster]

Your devices actived. Please check and report back

both are activated thank you so much for your help. If you ever need anything just ask m8

[ioanrokos]

Hi to all.
I bought by mistake keys and seller notes that can be programmed ONLY by vvdi?
Are they useless for cgdi?

[obdsystems]

If it good, we'll see others price came down for keeping old and new users


Yeah soon be free in fire crackers this xmas

[lion0304]

Yes, I reset and write 5 keys a lot of times hahaha

I can not make dump by obd because I only have ezs and I think that for read w211 by obd I need gateway and I don't have cables yet, but I think that by obd is the same that upload dump, dump must be the same...

Sure your key is the compatibility problem. I program CHinese BE for 209 without porblem,

Others also don't report any like your.

Try this key, it can use for Benz before 2000, I also have in stock but not tested for old car yet

Anyone knows ???

Anyone knows ???

It should work with CGDI, but can't sure 100%.

[lion0304]

W221 2008 with key v57 from Japan:

Add key success after 30mn, get PSW in the 2è upload.

He said VVDI or Diagspeed need usual 1 or 2H for that.

[autoTkey]

Anyone knows ???

It will work, I'm sure. There are no such thing as keys ONLY for VVDI.


Mine is also activated and working :D

Now problem are keys, I bought 10 keys at autokeys in the past, cgdi show that are BE keys, I can read/write without problem, but I am testing with a W211 EZS and is not working any key, but original black key is working like charm, I think keys are wrong, anybody know if I am making something wrong? EZS is readed fine with xprog and keys are calculated and programmed fine, but it doesn't turn ezs.

Anybody know where to buy nice china keys? I see one with two batteries, maybe this are better?

Regards!

H.Wessel - something's not right. Why don't you try to renew your original key and write it to a fresh position? Then you will know if it's the keys or the dump. In my opinion it should be the dump.
Another way is to read the dump by eeprom. Then you will have a 100% sure backup in case something goes wrong. And you will be sure that the generated key dumps are correct.

Also keys cannot be wrong - they are compatible with all cars. Especially those from Autokeys. Some of them have the problem of corrupting the data over time but never failed me on the first start. And I have bought a lot from autokeys.

Another piece of advice - I have noticed when you renew a BE key it actually is still operational on the car, unless you write another dump to it. So this could be a reason for a problem when, for example you program the key initially over a used position(like first or second) and for some reason it's not OK. Then you renew and program to position 3 but still doesn't work. To make it work you have to renew, then write dump from another car or from an empty key, then write the correct dump for this car.

i had W221 with vvdi find psw under 10 min at first try.
and again how can copy of software be faster then the original one?

Just did some minutes ago ML350 W164 2006

Read EZS, add key, write BE key all done in 17mn.

Really fast and i'm happy with the first try on car.

Use late software 2.0.0.0

[whiskeyman]

how you read
when i tried mll350 i could not connect to ezs same year

[lion0304]

how you read
when i tried mll350 i could not connect to ezs same year

I just plug in the OBD, put key and turn ignition ON and read.

After this step, CGDI will ask only put in EZS and in CGDI. Just all

PSW query is more longer than 209, about 12mn to get PSW.

This thread about CGDI, the new plastic box like many others in the plastic.

No one here said this it better than others, I'm a moderator from FB group and collegues report about this tool.

Almost have VVDI too and some have, VVDI, Simon, Diagspeed. So are they fool???

Do you feel attack with my post or my reports? Do you work for Xhorse? (this point i know, because you sale VVDI token) Does my report kill your business?

I report here exactly what collegue write, no more, no less. If want the war, make it youself.

So stay polite and make you happy. Life is so short!!!!

i'm vvdi user, because i buy vvdi tool before long time for my playing with benz's and i'm happy with this tool, i think no need to buy other next copy tool to discover of his + and - :D
when this thread about CGDI, why then i every 2nd posts you define themselves against vvdi, it looks very funny :D therefore i want ask you whats the main point of all ;)
i not work for anybody, only fo my self... :star:
when i offer tokens for vvdi thats because many people ask me about that, then i will only help him :listen:
mu business are very very far from you mate :D don't worry

ok, i think, when this thread schould be about some CGDI tool, then try via DK rules write posts only about this magical tool but without attack other tools, not important when is about vvdi, simon, diagspeed or others...

i'm only was not sure about what tool is mainly this thread, sry for that....

Since when comparing work being done by both programmers is attacking on the second one? Don't really see your problem here... He give results from testing the tool and you have problem because he compare it to vvdi working results. He never said bad word about vvdi here and never advertised cgdi here so I really don't understand you. Seems like you are very against this 'magical plastic box' with no reason.

This thread is plain compare and report list as for any chinese tool including vvdi, look at old SBB thread for example there are more then 130 pages of reports...i don't see problem.

Actually i am following this thread and because of it i decided i will probably buy this tool as i think it is great value...

[daxxer]

OK....continue in compare what tool is about 1 minute faster and what is 2 minutes slower...its funny to read it :D :D :D
with big cup of tee of course ;) ;)

[lion0304]

Just now make new try with CGDI, add key on bench with old Moto key:

i have spare W209 + orignal BGA key, i have dump key calculated by CGDI before.

Moto key with Rom read as: 74, use format 051 (MA567.880.051 - 0F82B)

Write dump to Moto and test with EZS, it work and can turning key with chinese EZS tester.

So connect EZS to CGDI, start read EZS and key info. All OK.

Before starting collect data, software ask if it is old generation key, so YES. Tool running and running after 5mn, ask it the key it's loose.

If i clic No, software stop. If YES, it continue running and the same tip go on.

If i choose other type 051, the same happened. So conclusion, with Moto key, CGDI cannot add key on bench.

Rly, making W204 in less than half time then any other professional MB tool? Maybe they should start making patent for they work............

Why does they need to do? Seller already claim that is the fatest benz programmer.

But in the end and for users, does it really important this words? Only facts can be.

[Gavra]

Fact is some of the best programmers for automotive electronics are making professional tools for MB keys for more than 15 years now , and now magically one chinese seller make it much better and faster without any innovation? You are at least naive if you believe in anything you wrote in this topic ;)

Have fun with your chinese tool and please do not ask for more help with MB when you have the fastest tool for them ;)

[Weasel3]

Now its time for tea again, I see :)
We are all monkeys! From different parts of the world.

[whiskeyman]

i can see the tool has potential

i remember when vvdi first took out tools it got bashed a bit at start but now.......................well you know the story

got to give everything a chance lads
for me the tool is far from there yet
will see how it goes in few months

[z786]

i dont know bout the tools capabilties, but its SW interface looks like a child made it and the HW looks like they wer overstocked with IDS cases and thought hey lets jus make another tool from these. lol

[lion0304]

You are right 100%, software inteface is bad, like a child game and color, i don't like at all.

But when i starting work with and after some days, this apparence did not important anymore.

There are many thing this tool cannot do for now, software need more developement.....But for the thing i need for now it working good (making spare key or lost in car or on bench)

Also the support almost not exist

[lion0304]

Just done a Benz G500 imported from Dubai

EZS 203, data collect is longer, but done in 25mn.

cgdi not working with china be keys?

All my BE key work good, excepted 2 BE that write can use for 1997 -2014. Tested yesteday for G500

[p1et]

I just received the tool but I don't know if I need to activate it somehow? I just installed software and then made device update and tried to read key, all fine without any activation. Then I tried generate key files from some random EIS data which I stored on PC and all OK but I realised that when I load EIS file, I can't see which keys are used and which are not. Also can't see VIN number and EIS part number, why is that? The time of keys calculation per day decreased from 5 to 4 after the operation but I see only 1 available PW calculation per day and I thought it should be 2 calculations per day? Also software show 169 days to next activation. Does it mean that I need pay after that time to use the tool? (Like CGDI BMW every 3 months) Here is how it look like:

Yes it work like that and when you read esz, generate PSW, save as bin file.

When you load in SKC, it show all are key used

Your device already actived before shipping

[p1et]

So if I want to program keys having EIS read by programmer, how to do it properly in CGDI if I don't know which keys are used and which not? Or maybe I don't understand something :D

[lion0304]

I think software need more improve, for now better is read with cgdi, generate and write with.

If you read by programmer, just use SKC. I dont really figure out this case yet

[p1et]

Okay, now all is clear. Having this tool I thought no need to have SKC. Let's hope they fix it as this is very important function. On Friday I will test the tool for adding key straight in car for W204.

[lion0304]

Bad new from CDGI, reported by many users who trying Key lost W204 W207

Bug came when collect data at 100%

This bug did not exist under SW 1.5

all by ir?????

[lion0304]

all by ir?????
obd?

Yeah, he said adding key on car, exiting key original BGA, he add spare BE key all by OBD.

[lion0304]

Okay, now all is clear. Having this tool I thought no need to have SKC. Let's hope they fix it as this is very important function. On Friday I will test the tool for adding key straight in car for W204.

Just tested, after you make data collect, upload to get PSW, and key calculation, you can use any position key

Even this position is already USED. Key write with used position work no problem.

So if you have exiting key, check it first what is the position track before writting new key. Just all.

Also if you have dump with PSW, just load on server and calculate key, no need use SKC. This calculation, you can use 10 by day.

[Gavra]

Even this position is already USED. Key write with used position work no problem. Please stop misleading people!!!!! You have absolutely no idea how FBS system works.........

[lion0304]

Please stop misleading people!!!!! You have absolutely no idea how FBS system works.........

Take away your ego, do you have some problem with your neck? Because your ego is more bigger than your head and your mind.

Yes i don't know many about FBS, but i've just made my own experience today, write new key in used track key. And it WORK.

And post what and why it cannot be? So we can compare your words with my video doing what i said

[autoTkey]

Generally there shouldn't be a problem with adding a key over a used position. Just the old key will not work anymore.
But sometimes car doesn't accept a key over a used position so it's a safer bet to disable the unwanted used positions and program the new key to an UNused position...

[lion0304]

But sometimes car doesn't accept a key over a used position so it's a safer bet to disable the unwanted used positions and program the new key to an UNused position...

By logic, when you have exiting key and you want to write new in used position (because no free position anymore), so you need check first your exiting key use in what position.

CGDI give info that what last key is used in EZS.

Key generate by CGDI dont write used key, all as like new (even in used position, track)

And sure when you write new key with used exiting key, the new work and other stop working.

Benz not allow 2 key work in the same position.

[autoTkey]

What I said is valid for all MB tools. No need to repeat it again.
Still sometimes car doesn't like this for some reason and key is not accepted.

Use version 1.5 that will allow you to do AKL 204 207.

I use type 2, but no compatible with car before up to 2000.

Some time work, almost time need insert several times and same problem with remote.

Does any one try type 2 with older car up to 2000 like as 210 203 208?

This tool has become a complete nightmare before its even started , dont get me wrong i have tried and tested some functions and it did work (but way behind other tool's on the market) all this about time to do it! is not relevant to the over all functions of the tool .
bottom line is there's no support , promise after promise about update this and that and when you do get a update other stuff stop's working !

Then like fly they bring out a new unit that still is not tested and half done ..
they need to fix what they already have out, its going to be another fly product and die out if CGDI team dont pull there sock's up ..

But hay guys you get what you pay for pay less and get less ........
Just buy a VVDI MB and be happy

Thanks Kev

You're right, this tool is just how can i say, developement project.

From the begining, i've not thing this can be better than majors tools already in market.

On whatsapp, that what i wrote, if they don't care about exiting customers, fix bug.....The way they become seconde fly.

A little reputation they have will become the smoke.

But i also know, the only thing it can do before the bug, it do well and still well for the spare key (the thing i only need in this moment)

For me, tool already paid itself. Now it's the bonus.

And YES, we have what we pay for, Santa Claus does not exist in real life.

Well, today I tried to add key for W204 and my experiences are not good :hmmmm2: Collecting data OK but then failed to retrieve password from the file. Tried 2 times, waited like 10 mins both times and no luck. Then of course wanted to check if the car is running good after all the process and I almost shit my pants. I put the key in, ESL unlock, car started car like CRAP (starter was working really bad) and DIES after 1 second :hororr: Tries again and it start with error triangle on dash but it fortunately dissapeared and all working good but... Luckily this is my own car because if it would be customer's car, I would die of heart attack probably :grey: I'm scared to use this tool any further...

What might cause this all? My car is in very good condition, not having any problem generally.

Battery is in good condition. Have it for 2 years and is very good quality. Even powered it up occasionally a little bit before by driving around just for fun. Never had such problem when starting the car, even when battery was weak (the original one when I bought the car). This was really, really strange. Coinsidence? I don't really know...

Tomorrow or next week I'll try to get psw again.

Da f*ck you want???? I just report my experience with the tool man!!! Calculating psw unsuccessful with 2 tries and what happened after I don't know but the main point is PSW was not calculated so please politely shut your mouth and give some respect as I'm not telling bullshit, only my first own experience with this tool!!

Sorry for your first experience, we dont know what exactly happened.

But until now i dont see or meet any problem like that.

Your case remind me Whiskeyman, when he try the first time with ml350 W164 (unsucces)

But if it happen again, leave your key in ignition for some minutes.

Another friend just report for C300 W207 2010 spare key without problem and in 2 minute (exiting key is BE, so no need server query PSW)

There are now some very very critical and negative about this tool, i'm just stopping reply.

Each one of us take and do as he want and thinking.

Hope you'll have more succes the next time.

If you think so... :) Then well, AVDI must have some special magical function for crap cars as it programmed new key for my sh1tty car in 10 minutes. You want to add something more? ;) And to be clear, i'm not against CGDI in this post and not promote AVDI (I do not even own it, my colleague tried on my car). CGDI just did not not make a job, simple. For this money I wasn't expecting everything work. In my case it did not work in first use. If this is working for you without any problems then well, it's good for you. But please do not be such arrogant pr1ck and YOU do not say some personal bullshit towards me because the tool is NOT perfect (like all the tools, there is NO perfect tool). Personally, I will try this more on other cars and we'll see but really wondering if I put something more in this topic...

Meanwhile, have a nice weekend :wavey:

It wasn't a problem, they lock new function and you need activation with your SN.

[lion0304]

Stolen your picture? For what? (All my work i write it mine)

You have tool, and dont post here your experience, i just collect and post.

Also your report on the FB page and i'm moderator in same page too.

Dont be so secret for something small, after your report, i shared with your the diagram for 204 207 212 on bench without any problem.

The forum is rich and good when members contribute into it.

There's a saying in my town, if you want to make friends with camels, make sure your doors are tall enough.
You want to work on people's Mercs but wanna use kids toys to do it??

Spend money to make money my friend.

Yes that right, but 2 camels make friendship, so there are no problem for the doors size ;)

In reality, it depand on what do you expect for the tool compare to your work needing.

In my case and for now, only spare key i want to do. ELV or ECU are useless for me and for now.

I can use this cheap and do what i want and learning. WHen i have enough knowedge and money i'll go for more avanced tool.

Tool is important but without HOW to do, what to do....tool cannot solve my problem.

Yes my friend, thats also true, but we have enough risk, and I think comments are superfluous, and also some people work with mostly young cars around 2010 and newer, Im working with very old cars and maybe that tool will good for me. Im not telling that its good we use this tool, but someone cant aford better tool for starting, Im started with china Zed Bull and CK100, now I have plenty tools.

We can discussing about tool, but as @johnner say with decent respect.

Catched with an engineer from CGDI team yesteday, many show him the bug issue with AKL 204.

Some hours later, they release new update with software Version 2.2.

It seem now the bug is really solved after some users testing for key lost 204. Time collect data still 60minutes. But PSW get quickly.

ELV seem also work, but need renew EZS and sync with ELV.

Version 2.2 is the best with bug solved and ELV function

[lion0304]

I made some diagram cables to working on bench with K line EZS.

On 209 there are 2 types K line and CAN.

CAN system need use with gateway, but the cable W164 cannot use for 209 211 CAN.

So i"ve also made it anf share all here for CGDI users.

CGDI still not able do all key lost for K line EZS. Only CAN can work.

Hi there.

Today I tried again password calculation for my W204. For those who does not know/remember, week ago this operation wasn't succeded with 2 tries waiting 10 minutes both. Today after update, it was calculated in 1 second :). Generate keys and write new BE key, all working fine. Happy for this working.

Hi
W164 add key on bench or in car?

[autoTkey]

W164 is a folding key, DAS2 system - do it like W168. Take immo out, read eeprom, generate transponder with effi, etc.

Ooops, I didn't read carefully and I said a lot of bullshit. Of course what I meant is valid for W163, not 164...

[lion0304]

Both case work good and fast

W163 before 2000 key store AAM engin compartiment, after 2000 is EAM inside the car.

Also EFFi did not make good transponder for EAM, or W168. As far i i know, W163, Gambit did great or TM100 too.
