I didn't mean this I am just trying to show what it can do , but from what I have seen first password calculation remind me of the beginning of vvdi where passwords are not all calculated ,but recently it is working on all of them . More to discover later

I programmed BE key for W210 and work good but I had keys calculated from the past, did not even try to calculate by CGDI because I did this car couple years ago and back then calculated key dumps from SKC.

I think it needs more improvement , they shall read customers comments and work on improving their tool

you can not write with cgdi keys calculated by skc

Yes CGDI cannot add key when exiting key is Moto key. I already posted longtime ago.

You can open the key, read moto, get psw from dump ( picture)

Read EZS info, paste PSW, save and calculate key dump, write to BE key.

So if the key is nec can we add one without soldering , i mean reading IR or OBD . Also are you aware of the problem all key lost in w204

thank you

If key is NEC, BGA or BE key, no problem to add on bench or OBD.

Also CAN EZS as 204 easy to do by the same way

I didn't see anyone report bug 204 from latest update yet.

What's way you connect EZS to CGDI? Wires or cable from VVDI?

If wires, check your wires connection
