W204 OBD mileage correction: Digiprog3? VVDI MB? FVDI? AVDI?

There are lots of threads talking about Mercedes-Benz W204 mileage correction. Some use Digiprog 3 odometer programmer, some use VVDI mercedes or FVDI commander or original AVDI. So, which one should be best for W204 km change? Here you go…

Here list some good questions and answers between forum members. Read them first.

Q: w204 possible only dash?A: NOT possible only dash.
you have to do dash and can-filter.
or use digiprog or elprosys or abritus72 or enigma
Q: Any one done 2014 by OBD?A: Use can blocker, make backups and never will have problems…
Q: Anyone done Mercedes W204 2014 by OBD?
if yes, what tool can do thisA: avdi,fvdi,digiprog…..
Q: digiprog3 and fvdi, which better for W204 mileage?A: I killed one with fvdi, it crashes. the ZGW will need recoding.
I do not recommend using fvdi on w204.
Have better change with digiprog3
I did 2012 with it
Q: How to make right on w204 with fvdi?A: Original equipment or solder can blocker.
Q: Any good experience of digi?A: I did a few 204 212 with digiprog 3 v4.94. ,no problem.
Q: How about AVDI for 204?A: I’ve got AVDI ORG but can’t do 2013 W204
but yesterday i killed also the ZGW of one W204 2011 the First Time.
have Smok tool to repair this until you done backup
I don’t know if you can do it 2014
Q: Cluster was changed in car. How do I have the cluster automatically go back to original mileage? Only tool I have is VVDI MB BGA tool. Thanks
A: for w204 through vvdi mb
if you want to bloack km synchronization between EZS and dashboard, you need backup CGW (gateway0 EEPROM and FLASH before write km
Q: Anyone tried with Smok?A: I’ve got now smok Merc
so I try and cant do first time error when Erase Flash
so I write the flash and eeprom back and then I try again
all GOOD job done
smok tool its the best for this price
AVDI cant write flash back after first problem – smok done easy
avdi-w204-km-change
In summary,
Digiprog3 programmer should be the best solution of Mercedes W204 Odometer Mileage through OBD. Within 5 minutes and no need dissemble the dashboard.

Xhorse VVDI2 List of VAG Audi All Keys Lost via OBD

– Can a Xhorse VVDI2 key programmer add a new key through OBD, when VW / Audi lost all keys?
– Yes! Xhorse vvdi supports OBD lost all keys to some VW and Audi models.

So, here is what you need:
A HQ VAG key programmer (xhorse vvdi2 or the like)
Working software (vvdi2 with the newest sw: ver. 4.0 vag)

Vehicles supporting OBD lost all key:
1) Audi A6/Q7/Allroard 2005+ – CAN
2) VW Passat B6/CC – CAN
3) VW Passat B6/CC with EDC17/MED17 – CAN
4) VW, Seat, Skoda 2007+ – CAN
5) VW, Seat, Skoda, Audi with VDO NEC 2009+ – UDS
6) VW with NEC+95320 or Magneti Marelli with Motorola 9S12 2009+ – UDS
7) Johnson Controls with 95320 – UDS
8) W Dashboard with VDO NEC35xx 2013+ – UDS

!!!!!  All 4th immobilizer system can make a dealer key via OBDII directly.
Don’t need BDM read cluster EEPROM, only require know PIN and 6 bytes CS. PIN
and CS can read from Engine Control Unit function via OBDII.
make-4th-immo-dealer-key
Item 1) with OBD lost all key will get window
with-obd-lost-all-key-1
Item 2) 3) with OBD lost all key will get window
with-obd-lost-all-key-2
Item 4) with OBD lost all key will get window
with-obd-lost-all-key-3
Item 5) 6) 7) 8) with OBD lost all key will get window.
with-obd-lost-all-key-4
Note:
We don’t recommend use OBD lost all key method for
item 6): VW with NEC+95320 or Magneti Marelli with Motorola 9S12 2009+ – UDS
and item 7): Johnson Controls with 95320 – UDS
These 2 types can read immo data from cluster even lost all key

The common point for OBD lost all key is that it will change one or several component
security bytes in immobilizer system. So, all the original key will stop work after
perform this function, and will not support key ordered from car dealer

If you want accept the key ordered from car dealer again, you need enter dealer
workshop to do online change immobilizer system operation, don’t need new
module for immobilizer, it can performed with the original immobilizer system. After
finish the above operation, the ordered key can learn successfully. But all the key
configured with lost all key method will stop working

Expect item 1): Audi A6/Q7/Allroard 2005+ – CAN,
all other lost all key type support make OEM key, you can enter dealer workshop do online operation with OEM key.

Attention: DON’T do online change immobilizer system operation, if you do this operation in dealer workshop, all the key made by lost all key method will stop working

VVDI2 test: Johnson control with 95320 – UDS

vvdi2-test-Johnson-control-with-95320-5
vvdi2-test-Johnson-control-with-95320-6
vvdi2-test-Johnson-control-with-95320-7
Generally, this type instrument use 95320 EEPROM.
There are two methods NEC+95320(Johnson control), NEC+95320(jci 2013 bora/jetta)
There’s a special procedure for prepare dealer key:
Menu->key learn->4th immobilizer system – VW/ skoda/ seat (choose the specific type according to the car)

Lost all key- OBD prepare key
This function will read PIN/CS from ECU or (input PIN/CS) and prepare dealer key. The dealer key can learn to car
After running this function, it changed 6 bytes of all 12 bytes CS in immobilizer system. So the old key cannot be used anymore, and don’t accept any key come from dealer.

VVDI 2 Peugeot, Citroën reviews:
citroen c4 work 100% for read pin
tested 100%

i read on Monday c4 pin with version 4.0… no problem 2006

citroen c4 I can confirm also it is working

I did c4 No problem

just read the pin and cs from ecu.
make backup from cluster, and the cluster configuration.
then make a dealer key, and learn it with pin.
my Peugeot 308 2008 BSI JC pin extracted OK. Key learn OK.
Tip: only for CAN line protocol based Peugeot, Citroën and DS cars.
