AK500 PRO 2 vs. AK500 Pro vs. AK500 Plus vs. AK500+

Mercedes key programmer: AK500 PRO2 vs. AK500Pro vs. AK500 Plus vs. AK500+

What’s the difference?

Each machine works great in MB key programming

Powerful Motorola MCU Programming

Directly read dumps of EEPROM (HC908) and Flash (HC912, HC9S12, HC9S12X) for motorola MCU, in support of the engine ECU of Benz, VW and Audi etc.

MPC (MPC555/556, MPC561/562, MPC563/564),

External Flash (MB58BWO 16, 29BL802C, AM29BDD 160, S29CD0 16, DE28F800 etc.)

and External EEPROM (M95xxx)

Works perfect in car ecu repair and programming, odometer adjustment and key programming as well.

But they are kind of different. Look at the chart:

AK500 PROG 2 and AK500 Pro share the same features, while AK500 Plus and AK500+ share the same functions.

In summary,

1) AK500+/AK500 plus with SKC (SK110) has no 8PIN EEPROM adapter holder, because AK500+/AK500 plus with SKC only needs to read out EIS data and send the data to SKC calculator to calculate, then complete key matching;
The old version AK500+/AK500 plus has 8PIN EEPROM adapter holder to help read and write ESM data, because AK500+/AK500 plus needs to de-solder EIS, ESM and ESL ECU when it makes Mercedes Benz key.

2) AK500+/AK500 plus with SKC (SK110) support more car models than old version AK500.

3) AK500 pro/AK500 pro2 can’t make key if without SKC calculator; while old version AK500 pro can make key.

4) AK500 pro/AK500 pro2 with SKC calculator doesn’t contain external EEPROM (M95xxx), so it does not need to deal with M95xxx, because AK500+/AK500 plus contains SKC calculator, after AK500+/AK500 plus read out EIS data and send it to SKC calculator to calculate, the key data is acquired; The old version AK500 Pro contains 95XXX, AK500 need to remove chip 95XXX and weld it on the 95XXX adapter.

1. Faster and safer to write MCU.
   2. Internal Benz original factory key generator.
   3. Support NEC fast renew, Motorola MCU safe read and write.
   4. Support infrared read and write NEC key and Motorola MCU key.
   5. Support Benz read and write “Key-less go” Key.
   6. Support through OBD port active Key-less function.
   7. Support ESL fast unlock, no need 32G database.
   8. Support through OBD read and write SBC data, easier for change SBC control unit.
   9. Match and support function “Keyless Go” of Benz Infrared Key;
   10. Support Benz Infrared keys lock and unlock for EIS+ESL+ESM , the leading technology all over the world;
   11. Support Directly reading EEPROM for BENZ DAS( 1995-1998 )via OBD, can to unlock DAS when you lost all keys and DAS is locked;
   12. Read and write the ESL of E/Class and C/Class via K_line, no need remove ESL;
   13. Support Benz ECU’s flash(29F400 and 29F800) generate key data. Need use STAR 2000 to do ECU coding.
   14. No need to choose the MCU type of EIS. When load EIS file, recognise EIS file, and generate key file. If your MCU is HC705,software will automatically suggest “load next EIS file of HC705”

– Does AK500PRO support Mercedes Benz W204 after 2008?

– So far, AK500PRO doesn’t support NEC eeprom key programming, but support AK500pro NEC eeprom key calculation.
W204 is with NEC eeprom, therefore AK500pro neither supports W204 nor supports the following Mercedes Benz models: w204/w207/w221/w218 and W164 after 2008 year which EIS model CPU is NEC.

Important Notice of KEYLESS GO function :

If you want to use KEYLESS GO function: the key used to make key must be new and blank key, it can’t be used key. New key must be as the same type and frequency as the original keyless go key. Otherwise it will cannot support keyless go function.
AK500 do ESL: read out original ESL data, generate new key data, write new data .binw back to ESL( now must use that 32GB hard disk database then can renew ESL)
When you deal W203 ECU, if your ECU is simens, it do not have eeprom. Resolution: Read flash of ecu, then make renew. Then use MB STAR to do doing.
AK500PRO can write keyless go key. But you must wirte via IR( Your keyless go key must be completely new or blank. If your key is old, it can read out date, then it can not be write again, you must renew it then can write).
