The way for a locksmith to access these tools or is dealer only is: if you have very deep pockets and willing to pay the price Mercedes want then of course you can buy.

For example: the good way to do FBS4 keys on 2014 and up Mercedes-Benz vehicles: you go to the dealer and you pay a thousand dollars and you get the key done, that’s the only way, it’s no happening, so give it up, stick with 13 and down cars and get your ass to the dealer and get your FBS4 key and stop complaining and talking about how you know how to do it.

Let’s take a look at what most locksmiths are going to do:

Conclusion 1:

I would put money on Abrites or Diagspeed to come up with a solution soon. And I would also put money on the Chinese swiftly copying that.

This article refers to Xentry online, AVDI Abrites, Diagspeed, VVDI MB, CGDI MB.

Conclusion 2.

The server needed to calculate is so expensive it’s likely gonna be a while before anyone comes up with solution. No way to pay for that server unless they charge $20k for the tool

Conclusion 3.

No way to do FBS4 except Mercedes Dealers

Someone told with an online xentry account will be ok

But online access need to have the permission to Programm fsb4 keys. Mercedes-Benz don’t allow personal to do it , If you get the permission all your personal data and stuff are required to the database. So Mercedes-Benz can recognized who and when programmed a fsb4 key and for what reason

then you will get in trouble

Only can do it by Mercedes Benz dealers now

This is not a technical issue

This is a problem authorized by Mercedes-Benz

So currently no equipment can support FBS4 Program .

Program Benz AKL with Autel IM608 or VVDI MB or CG MB

Have Mercedes Benz with all keys lost (AKL), to program new key using Autel MaxiIM IM608 or VVDI MB or CG MB programmer? Let’s listen to experienced user’s sharing.

1. Autel MaxiIM IM608 program key for MB: longer time when getting password

Tip:

1). Good internet connection, if it takes too long time to get the password (for example 20 minutes to 1 hour), you probably have bad wifi connection, always use good wifi connection, not use cell phone.

Then cancel it and retry again, it might take 10-13 min.

One user feedback: mine always says 10-50 min (even though I had a w207 e350 last night take 64 min.

2). It’s quicker to use IM608 to work on MB on bench .

One user feedback: use bench job if you want obtain speed and fast password 5 min

3). Compared with VVDI MB and CGDI MB, Autel IM608 won’t need token to calculated the password.

3) Got the VVDI MB out and MB AKL job done in 5 minutes, I get 1 free token each day so can add a key for free. 2 tokens needed for akl but I’m happy to pull the Ezs and solder to get password if needed.
