Problem: Is it a normal process during xhorse vvdi mb tool password calculation?? If all key is lost?
vvdi mb keeps saying take IR adapter out of EIS and insert IR adapter to car.
I have a test platform connected. I bought this platform because this has eis cables.
Solution:
You need the MB power adapter, otherwise, you’ll get sore fingers.
That test platform won’t work. The supply voltage must be interrupted at intervals.
vvdi mb+power adapter+eis cables is enough, you can buy ELV ESL cable set for vvdi mb like this:

Here are all Mercedes-Benz EIS/EZS pinouts for table connection and test. You can read EZS EIS data with xhorse vvdi mb tool, vvdi key tool plus, cgdi mb etc using EIS/EZS test cables or full protocol jumper cable.

We may find that it is seldom used the VVDI MB Tool OBD Clip while programming Mercedes. In general, we more often use the OBD cable connector instead. So when and how to use the OBD clip?
When programming Benz 204/207 with directional lock on car, it’s not able to read data with VVDI MB Tool by OBD directly. That’s because data will be interfered due to OBD connection. That’s why locksmiths always remove directional lock on bench to read immo data or match simulator.
Can we program Benz 204/207 without wiring harness on car?
The answer is yes.
By reason of filtration and interference from other car modules, it’s failed to read immo data by OBD. But we can bypass the interference through connecting OBD communication line on device to directional lock straightway. That’s what the VVDI MB OBD Clip can do: connect to directional lock.
How to use VVDI MB OBD Clip?
Note:
* DO NOT disconnect plugs of directional lock & ELV Emulator.
* Clamp to the corresponding line for red marked pin.
* Need to break wire skin.
It’s recommended to use the way in case emergency without any EIS/ELV Test Lines.
