Problem:
I just got the xhorse vvdi mb tool and tried to install software on Windows 11. But no luck keeps getting error Application was unable to start. Any solution?
Solution:
Better install software on Windows 10 system.
Disable anti-virus program.
Disable firewall.
Reinstall software.
The solution works other version xhorse vvdi software as well.
Problem:
We have a 2010 Mercedes E350 W212 in our shop. The steering column lock stopped operating. We purchased an ELV emulator by xhorse to use with our vvdi mb tool.
When I follow the procedure I found on multiple places, I get to the point where I read the EIS and hit ‘get’ on erase password. When I paste this result into the field above it, the password does not seem to be hashed out, rather it pastes the same value that is in the erase password field. Error “Erase EIS ……Failed”
The procedure I followed is as follows:
Step 1 – Using xhorse w204 eis cable hook up two connectors to EIS and one connector to xhorse emulator EZL.
Step 2 – Apply power source to cable
Step 3 – Hook up vvd mb
Step 4 – Load vvdi mb software
Step 5 – Read ESL using ESL TOOLS. In which case the status comes back as ‘ESL Status: Closed’
Step 6 – Read EIS using EIS TOOLS. In which case the status comes back as ‘Reading data success.- EIS is normal’
Step 7 – Click ‘get’ button beside erase pass.
As described above, I can go no further than this due to incorrect password calculation. Arguably it is not calculating a password at all.
Solution:
You doing it wrong.
You need to calculate EIS (Ignition switch) Password, and save data. After that this data has to be written is ESL ( lock) menu. Erase password has nothing to do with this.
When you hit “Get” that’s erased password AKA service password to renew eis which is needed to erase data and renew eis which even if you don’t have EIS pass you can’t do it
What you need to do is go to password calculation and calculate EIS password , like if it was a ALL LOST KEYS.
So go to password inquiries and start a reading, if you have subscription then we recommend doing All lost keys option to Get EIS password, then
Once you get password from server, copy and save it then do as following
1. Go to EIS menu
2. Read EIS data
3. Copy password in password section
4. click “get password” so you’ll have service password as well
5. Save EIS data
6. Renew eis by IR
7. Load eis data ( saved in step 5)
8. Write VIN by OBD
9. Write EIS data by IR
10. Personalize ELV emulator.
11. Stick key in and you will see it’s activated
12. Connect both to car and start it.
If you want to only use 1 token connect EIS back in car and do it like if it was a copy, when it asks if elv sync click yes,, then follow prompts.
Otherwise just wait until tokens go into your acc and do as indicated above.

Is it possible to change Mercedes W164 EZS and AMAZONAS with NEC based processor? I have VVDI Prog, but it can do Motorola MCU, not Nec. What solution is possible? Only make Virgin ECU, ISM and adapt used EZS? Can i do this with VVDI MB or CGDI MB?
This is photo of plate inside EZS.
change steps with VVDI MB Tool:
1. Use ezs & key from one vehicle
2. Read and save (1) once ezs data via obd. (new ezs)
3. Calculate key password from new ezs in password calculate menu (new ezs) !!!!!!!!!!!

7. Renew ezs via IR (new ezs) Now new ezs ready!
8. read old ezs via obd (old ezs key NOT inserted) !!!!!!!!!!!
Attention!!! Do not insert key in ezs anymore, before all procedure will ended!!!!
9. Save ezs data (3)
10. Replace original ezs to new
11. Load ezs data, saved from ori ezs (3)
12. Write VIN number via obd 13. Choice IR and write data, that you have read from ori ezs (3) via IR KEY PASSWORD MUST BE FROM NEW EZS

15. Go to calculate key menu, load dump (4)
16. Paste key password and push “calculate”
17. save calculated dumps
18. Get key from new ezs and disassemble it
19. desolder NEC ic and put it to NEC Adapter
20. use “key” menu, choose “nec adapter” and read IC
21. Renew ic
22. solder Nec ic back to plate.
23. choice IR and insert key into vvdi ir key reader
24. Read key for check it have “unuse” status
25. load dump of key (step 17) and write key via IR (choice version 51 number of key is not important)
NOW YOU CAN INSERT YOU WRITED KEY IN EZS. Sometimes key will work after 3 times be inserted. The procedure will take one token.
The procedure can be applied to cgdi as well.

Problem:
I have an original Mercedes V51 nec key with me that is dead – unrecognized by eis, now I have made a BE/BGA key already and got the vehicle started already but would like to play around a little more and why/how/where the key malfunctioned, prolly corrupt mcu data since I can identify the key by xhorse vvdi mb via ir and nec key adaptor but when I try to read key password, it gets stuck at 50% then returns error -1004, and when renew I get error -0001, why does this happen? is it because I am using the older nec adaptor?
