C Clasee W203 2005

make new try with CGDI, add key on bench with old Moto key:
I have spare W209 + original 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 click 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.
Moto 0F82B

Part 2. CGDI MB programs new key when all keys lost.

Work really good!
W212 is from 2012
Read ezs About 30mins
Upload data
Querry
Password given

Read eis info
Paste key password
Save
Then key calculation

– CGDI MB tool works good to do W207 W204 lost keys on bench.
W204 get data: About hour
PSW W204: 11minute all key lost in bench with VVDI cable
had VVDI and CGDI,CGDI is faster and no problem to get PSW:

W204-207 PSW VVDI

W204-207 PSW

Question: when we have CGDI tool working all by OBD why lads want the tool to work on the bench???
Answer: 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
Still no tool which can do all merc by OBD anyway…

W203 with W209 EZS all key lost, done in the car about 70mn: Successful.

– Calculation PSW always the first time, never fail.

C Clasee W203 2005

-Plug USB to computer, software recognizes at once. So I take 2 used BE key put in and read. Software say need 12V.
So I plug 12V and read and reset to unused quickly. Will test on bench W209 as key lost later.

CGDI MB tested failure and explanation from CGDI engineer:
CGDI work not on all by OBD
W906 Sprinter don’t work (CGDI Supports W906 only CAN BUS not K-line)
W230 SL55 AMG 2006 dont work (CGDI supports W230 CAN BUS, you can send EIS and CGDI MB tool to factory to add K-line)

-Trying reading W209 EZS on bench need zgw connected also for w211 , w203.

Write renew NEC chip by IR.
But for now, tested renew 3 chips, remote dead after renew. Try write on adapter, IR or NEC prog. All the same result.
Here is video write by IR original NEC renewed :

Part 3: CGDI MB tokens
CGDI MB Prog also works with tokens for password online calculation. free two tokens each day for 6 months.
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.

CGDI calculation counter

Part 4: CGDI MB Prog PCB VS Xhorse VVDI PCB
CGDI MB tool is not VVDI clone, open CGDI and you can see the PCB is complete other than from VVDI and MCU is other than from VVDI !!!
