Part 6: cgdi mb fbs4
CGDI MB is able to program Benz key fbs4?
No. With genuine xentry and daimler fbs server. Makes FBS4 every day via OBD very fast and easy.
Diagspeed announced the dates of FBS4 solution. But not confirmed yet. The Diagspeed has the reputation of being the best in the Mercedes world to make keys, Reset ECU’s and trouble shoot problems that a normal scan tool can not. It is worth to take a gamble.
CGDI MB can read FBS4 keys and knows if it’s in a working status or key is damaged
