**MuxaH** · 5th December, 2019, 04:28 PM

Hello, I have Mercedes A-class 2001, W168.
Which programmer should I use to read EIS and get key information, and with which tool I will program transponder?

Thanks for answers.

Ok, and how to read key data from it?

I read data with vvdi prog with adapter hc05 x32 and generate transponder by original avdi with protag. For now it works all time.

Are you sure that you want to desolder and solder this mcu twice?

and how you will program the key and the remote?

I've done this only one time and don't think that I will take job like this again

why? it's easy job. If you want to protect the mcu then desolder with hot air and preheating station (110-120C) and solder back with microscope and soldering iron. It's reducing the heat shock
I have a spare w168 immo for testing purpoes

it's a little bit hmmm worn yet but fully functional

I dont have problem with soldering and desoldering but the bill is higher than the car cost

Is it not possible to copy transponder of existing key and write it to a new transponder?

We assumed, you have a all keys lost job.

Glue the existing transponder to the back of the reading coil.

And if you need a remote,
Buy a cheap remote set, from aliexpress, and hook it up to the interior locking switch.

Not the way i like to do things. Considering,
This way, you keep risk low, and costs low.
