Problem:
I am repairing Mercedes esl by using VVDI MB BGA Tool key programmer, but this is giving error in this process.
Error “Cannot find erase password”
Solution:
Internet connection required when calculating key password using VVDI MB.
VVDI MB Tool software V2.1.6 highlights:
Easy steps for re-matching ESL after Formatting or matching Xhorse ESL/ELV Emulator without any need for getting Erase Pass or taking the risk of Rewriting EIS via IR any more
