Xhorse VVDI MB BGA TOOL is welcomed as a professional key programmer for all Benz keys. Considering you may be interested in this tool’s real performance, here is Xhorse VVDI BGA MB tool user feedback collection for you reference.

VVDI BGA MB tool do all key lost, add key, renew ECU
VVDI MB TOOL read and calculate BGA password, make Benz keys
VVDI MB TOOL renew EIS/ESL

VVDI BGA MB tool do all key lost, add key, renew ECU
—I got my tool on Monday. So far I tried all key lost for:

3x W212 old —— worked

2x W166 ——- worked

3x W212 new ——- worked

2x W246 ——– worked

From BGA key

W212 old ——- worked

W212 new —— worked

Copy EIS:

W164 new —– worked

W164 old —– worked

W212 new —– worked

W204, W207 —— worked

— I try today to renew ECU ME9.7 with VVDI BGA MB tool…..successful. With 7G boxes works on hurray.

— Add key (20 minutes for one):

E300L…work fine

R500 4 matic…work fine

CLS260…work fine

S320…work fine

E260…work fine

W204 – 2011 – NEW KEY…work fine

— I tested it ok on both car type W203 (year 2003) and W639 (year 2006)

— I used my tool for reading BGA and be keys. It’s very good to renew 7G plates and ECU. And I also tested renew sim4se It is a W203 engine ECU with no screws… one ECU was working renew good other sim4se was reading ok.

VVDI BGA MB tool read and calculate BGA password, make Benz keys
—VVDI MB TOOL is the most fast tool for pass calculation for EZS FSB3 (w166 etc.)

— VVDI MB TOOL support read w164 via OBD without gateway, but you need special adapter to replace gateway as inter unit

— W203: EIS A203.545.05.08 – MCU 1J35D – read PSW – OK

W 220 EIS 215 545 02 08 read PSW via IR – OK. (This but not means all W215 can support. In fact only support parts of this type)

— I’ve been able to read Version 40, 51 and 57 until now with this device.

— Just extracted pass by IR on a W203 within 2 minutes. Wonderful!

— VVDI MB tool password calculation test:

Calculate 221EIS password… work fine

Calculate 212 545 03 08 password… work fine

—Xhorse engineers developed their own algorithm also they have special dedicated server for BGA calculation and FSB3 pass calculation. With VVDI MB TOOL only need at LEAST two calculations for BGA pass and for FSB3 is 100% ok! Other tools need more than 2 calculations. And VVDI server is the fastest at the moment much faster than others.

— I succeeded in making a spare key on a W211 yesterday. But I extracted the pass from the original v51 key and after that the remote function of the original key stopped working (it wasn’t emitting at all and the LED didn’t flash) and it wasn’t starting the car too. I had to renew and program it again to make it work. Finally I got the answer: sometime this happen when NEC is not right soldered back to PCB, or sometime this happen when NEC is not right soldered back to PCB.

— It works well, as Xhorse still have some little problem like dealer pass or erase password calculation but it only few little bugs that I hope they will fix soon.

VVDI BGA MB tool renew EIS/ESL

— I check W204 ESL and it damage, so I bought a second-hand ESL to work with my VVDI MB TOOL. I took steps as follows and it worked.

1 get key password

2 save EIS data with Pass

3 renew EIS

4 write saved EIS data

5 renew ELV

6 in EIS personalize ELV

7 Insert Key all should work

Also you can refer to these, I found from forum.

ESL: Clear TP, Renew ESL (need erase password)

EIS: Renew EIS (need password & erase password)

Write EIS data back, then Personalize W204ESL

(0ne token for read key code)

— Guys I picked it up from forum, share this solution with you all.

I tried to renew w210 EIS and got the key password and erase password, but once I click on renew EIS it says failed how can I renew EIS for Motorola w210?

You should ensure your password is correct then try again. Some types of old K line EIS cannot support renew.

About VVDI BGA MB tool extra K-line cable
— The extra K-line cable is for use for example with some type of older EZS/EIS, which have his diag PIN in OBD plug in different place then standard norm K-line…for example W203, W639….this models you can read through OBD cable only when you use this BLUE extra cable and connect it to other PIN, in case W203 and W639 have EZS/EIS on PIN nr.1 in car OBD plug…or for use on the table on bench then you can read EZS/EIS through cable too….not only by IR.

Other feedbacks
— A friend of mine received his VVDI MB tool , no manual no instruction , no drivers only machine…he managed to install it and in 7 minutes he made BGA key , he was shocked and I am also! For VVDI BGA my friend say is very good with BGA with older models he is not so sure.

— Xhorse support is 10000% ok and very helpful and is quick instantly. Of course need to synchronize time between your country and china and they have many flash and dumps for backup.

(Solved) SDConnect C4 WIFI has no connection in 05.2016 Xentry

sd-connect-compact-4for-benz-1-1-blog-1

When I run my SDConnect C4 with cable in Xentry 05.2016 everything works well. I made configuration the WIFI of PC with the normal procedure with 26xa ec. but when i tried to connect my Wifi of pc with the C4 I got error that there is no connection. i tried different times but nothing happened. The sdconnect is on standby but my PC doesn’t see the Road24h. After a little bit of time in my network connection i can see the Road24h but when I try to connect it gives me error and than the Road24h is not anymore in my network connections.

Finally, I solved by following this step-by-step instruction:

Try this

It worked for me

To save an ad-hoc network and its network key on the guest computer (running Windows 7)

Note down the SSID, security type, encryption type and the key of the ad-hoc network.

Disconnect your connection to any wireless network and switch off/disable your wireless device. Turn on/enable your wireless device but don’t connect to any network. (Thanks GK.)

Click on the network icon in the taskbar.

Click Open Network and Sharing Center > Manage Wireless Networks > Add.

Click “Manually create a network profile”. (This may look silly but we really are going to create an infrastructure network now.)

Enter the network name (SSID), security type, encryption type (if any) and the key that you noted in step 1.

Uncheck both checkboxes (“Start this connection automatically” and “Connect even if the network is not broadcasting”.) [Note that you cannot have the connection start automatically. If you try to have it checked, step 10 will fail. A different way to start it automatically during system boot is described below.]

Click Next > Close. Your connection must appear in the list with the icon suggesting infrastructure (two big screens connected to a tube). Don’t worry about it.

Click Start, type in “cmd” in the search box, press Enter.

In the Command Prompt, type in “netsh wlan set profileparameter name=NetworkName ConnectionType=IBSS”, exactly as shown, without quotes, except you must substitute NetworkName with the SSID (network name) of your ad-hoc network.

If everything went well, you’ll see that the icon has now changed to an ad-hoc icon (three small screens connected to each other) in the Manage Wireless Networks window.

Turn on/enable your wireless device, and try connecting to the Ad-hoc network. You will notice that you no longer need to enter the network key.

To automatically connect to a saved ad-hoc network during Windows boot (can be applied to both guest and host computers running Windows 7)

Click Start > point to All Programs > right-click Startup > click Open. (You may choose Open All Users instead if you prefer).

Right-click an empty space and click New > Shortcut.

Type in “netsh wlan connect NetworkName”. Once again, NetworkName must be substituted with the SSID of your ad-hoc network.

Click Next and enter a fancy name such as “Connect to NetworkName” or something like that.

Click Finish and you’re done. This shortcut will run when Windows starts up, giving you a very brief flash of the black command window, followed by your computer connecting to the ad-hoc network if it is available. Tip: You can also pin the shortcut in your taskbar or copy it to the desktop to easily connect to the network any time you want.

Note: You will probably need Administrator access to complete some of the steps above (in both procedures).
