Question:
I want to buy a CGDI prog MB programmer, but I think to buy the basic version + cables. Please tell me, is it possible to work fully without AC Adapter? Is it only about saving time?
Answer:
It is a good programmer.
Basic version is enough. Cables are for newer models like w212 or 204.
If you have more cars like w168 or w203 or w906 then you need to buy cables separately.
AC adapter is for a fast collection. It needs separate 12v.
If you doing all keys lost or add key via OBD then in general you don’t need the adapter.
Just plan more time.
Good thing about AC adapter is if you don’t have all cables and you have AC adapter then use the wires to connect EIS directly.
