The ZN032 adapter is used for reading, writing and erasing of NEC MCUs from Mercedes-Benz IR-keys without soldering the memory to the adapter.

The ZN032 Adapter is used just like the ZN033 Adapter, but there is no need to solder the NEC MCU from the key PCB to the ZN032. You can very easily place the NEC inside the socket and close it. Again, the ZN032 Adapter can be connected to ZN045 that goes into the AVDI DB-25 port.

For opening the software and proceeding with the procedure, simply open the ABPROG Programmer For AVDI Software and choose “MB

NEC KEY” and the revision of the ABPROG’s PCB as shown in the picture below.

After choosing the desired option, you can proceed with reading, programming, erase and verify upon erasing the information if it is still present.

Using the ZN033 NEC MCU Adapter, you will be able to solder NEC processors used in Mercedes keys, read them and make them virgin. The supported versions are V57 and some V51.

If you already have an ZN033 NEC MCU Adapter, you might have to unsolder the resistor as shown in the below pictures.

Once the NEC MCU is soldered to the ZN033 Nec MCU Adapter, the ZN033 has to be connected to ZN045 ABPROG. The ABPROG can be directly connected to AVDI as shown in the picture below:

The ZN033 adapter is used for reading, writing and erasing of NEC MCUs from Mercedes-Benz IR-keys by soldering the memory to the adapter, for example in cases when the customer needs to make a NEC IR key virgin.

The ZN046 is an adapter for renewing used keys in order for them to be programmed to another vehicle. It is an invaluable tool for all locksmiths, used with the ABPROG programmer.

Supported keys:

All types of keys with a PCF processor

(full supported list in the Compatibility tab, pinout available in the Technical specifications tab)

During the key renewal procedure, the adapter is soldered onto the PCB of the key and connected to the ABPROG programmer.

Note: This ABPROG function will allow you to use any HITAG Key with any vehicle that uses HITAG as long as the keys are from the same HITAG Generation.

After the soldering, the DB-25 male side of the add-on needs to be connected to the DB-25 female connector of the ABPROG ZN045.

After which, the male DB-15 part of the ZN045 needs to be connected to the female DB-15 connector on the AVDI.

The following photos will show you how the connection points on the key PCBs look like, so that you can proceed with the soldering.

The following photos will show you how a soldered PCB looks like. The Example is of a BMW F-Series

HUF Key PCB:

Select the “PCF” Option from the drop-down menu and the PCB model you are about to renew. After the desired options are selected, you can click on “Program” to renew the key and make it virgin. Click on “Yes” to confirm the renewal process.

Once the procedure is completed, you will see the “KEY Write finished successfully message”. This means that the key is now renewed and made virgin. You can continue with programming the key to another car.

The Abrites ABPROG EWS3 Reader (ZN055 - ABPROG EWS3 adapter) allows you to read the EWS3 Dump from the EWS3 cars in order to program a key, and it is very useful when working on the BMW models. Supported vehicles:

BMW E46/E53/E85/E83/E39/E38/E52 (equipped with a EWS3 module)

The tool attaches to the ABPROG programmer which attaches to the AVDI interface in order to read the EWS3 dump.

Once you have read the EWS3’s dump, you will be able to save it on your computer. Then you will be able to load this dump in the PROTAG software and program a key using it. With the help of the EWS3 Adapter you will no longer need to use third party EWS3 Programmers to read the EWS dump.

This is a wire extender for the ZN031 - ABPROG EEPROM/BCM adapter, used to read chips without removing them from the PCB in tasks such as reading the EEPROM of the FEM/BDC module in BMW F-series vehicles.

The ZN078 adapter is the updated version of the ZN034 flat cable, developed and designed by Abrites. It is used in procedures like reading and writing processors which require communication via separate RX/TX lines.

Main functionalities:

• Reading, erasing and writing unlocked V850ES MCUs
• Reading and writing all other modules where a direct connection to the PCB is required

The adapter is used with the Abrites ABPROG programmer (ZN030) and is included in the ZN030 base package.

You can use your “ZN030-ABPROG” for programming and reading of ordinary SPI EEPROM memory as M95080, M95160, M95320, M95640, M95128, M95256 without using “ZN031- M35XXX/SPI/I2C Adapter”. To do this you must connect the memory to DB25 connector in the manner shown in the picture.

12. Connect “ZN030-ABPROG” without “ZN031-M35XXX/SPI/I2C adapter”

All existing customers should have received a NEC board, on which to solder the NEC chip. For all existing customers - if you send to support@abrites.com the dump from the EZS we will send you back a working key dump and you will not need to worry about virginizing ECU, 7GTronic and so on.

13.1 Erasing NEC chip

The NEC chip should be soldered on the NEC PCB, which is provided by Abrites. Here is how the erasing procedure looks like:

13. Read SSID, Erasing and Programming of NEC Key for Mercedes

NOTE: FOR CUSTOMERS WHO HAVE “ZN002” AFTER FIRMWARE UPGRADE CAN BE USED

AS “ZN030-ABPROG”.

To read the immobilizer with the ABPROG you need to solder as showed on the pictures below.

For Renault and Audi BCM

Blue - 5; Red - 20; Black - 14; Green - 25; Brown - 6; Yellow – 13;

14.1 EZS hash reading through IR

Please use the ZN036 adapter to connect to the EZS. From the drop down please select MB_EZS_IR and the model i.e. W204. Press the read button and place the IR adapter in the key fob. After reading the key fob the hashes will be displayed. Please note that for some models you will need to take the key in and out of the fob multiple times.

14. Hash reading without password from the EZS via IR. Password reading from NEC MCUs version 57

14.2 NEC MCU version 57 password reading

Place the NEC processor from the key on the adapter plate (part of the ZN036). Press the “READ NEC KEY PASSWORD” and wait until the reading is over. This process can take from several seconds up to a few minutes. After successfully reading the password you will see the SSID and password fields among other details.

When you have the full dump, the hash files + the password you can save the file and use it later in order to generate the dumps using the Abrites diagnostics for Mercedes.

Using the ZN086 you can read unlocked MC9S12’s from the xExxx series - PFlash, DFlash and EEPROM data, save them, and later write to another module. The whole procedure takes minutes and allows you to adapt these modules in the vehicle (clone the donor module onto the new/used one).

Important: The PIN that needs lifting, is specific for each processor, and you need to find that information first. Since there are many variations, you will need to do your own research and get to the processor’s data sheet. The PIN that needs lifting is the “RST” or reset PIN.

The ZN086 adapter is soldered onto four points on the PCB (one of which is the lifted pin) and then connected to the ABPROG > the ABPROG is connected to AVDI, and AVDI to your laptop.

ABPROG upgraded software is used, but the procedure can also be done with the Classic one.

First, you need to read PFlash and EEPROM, save them, and then program them on the replacement module’s PCB.

MC9S12 processor is used in a variety of modules, such as DSM and ISM in FBS4 Mercedes-Benz vehicles, etc.

Below you may find a picture of the adapter, and where the option in the software is located - from the main screen you need to click “MCU” and find the options.

For more details on how the ZN086 is used, please check the following video
