NEW DEVELOPMENTS FOR FBS4
We are happy to share with you our new developments regarding the Abrites Diagnostics for Mercedes- Benz and the new solutions we provide for FBS4 – from the improvements to the existing functionality to the brand new features version 2.8 of the Abrites FBS4 Manager includes the following updates:
MN032 - DAS Manager for FBS4 cars
- Ability to personalize modules using previously created backup.
This functionality allows you to use a previously read file (Dflash/ EEPROM) from a working module to personalize a replacement module. In this situation you can create a backup from your customer’s vehicle when it comes in so that you can use it in the future. If you have a regular customer, you can be prepared to assist them whenever they need you by reading the module backup ahead of time.
-AMG GT transmission dual clutch controllers (GT-DCT) have also been added for reading and writing of personalization data directly by OBDII.
-FBS4 DSM full support for reading FBS4 data, making virgin and personalizing in a car using direct CAN communication added.
-Reading personalization data, virginization (bringing to true virgin state) and personalization of all known types of DSM modules utilizing direct CAN communication.
-Ability to read all the information related to the adaptation of a TCU directly through the OBDII port for the following modules: VGS4- NAG2, VGS-FDCT, VGSNAG3, 8G FDCT, GT-DCT.
These features will be available for all MN032 owners with a valid AMS.
MN033 – Mercedes-Benz FBS4 Vehicles Electronic Steering Lock Repair
- NEW types of ESL (ELV) FBS4 modules added for reset. The full functionality of the MN033 license is now available by OBDII directly – no need to connect with the internal CANBUS. Modules for ASTON MARTIN vehicles using the FBS4 steering lock system are now also added.
The MN033 license allows for emergency engine start in case the ESL/ ELV is defective but is not a solution for mechanically broken ESL modules. Please make sure to diagnose and repair the ESL in case of physical damage.
All owners of MN033 and a valid AMS will receive this functionality once the update is complete.
MN034 - FBS4 Personalization Expert
You can now personalize brand new transmission controllers without the need to make them virgin. This means that if you buy a new VGS4NAG2 you no longer need to cut the VGS plate open, solder or even make it virgin. You can now personalize the transmission to the car just by direct CAN connection. With the price of new VGS plates being affordable and comparable to used ones this is another great option for seamless integration and replacement of transmission modules without the need to include factory tools. This feature will be available for all MN034 owners with a valid AMS.
MN034 also allows you to use the SET088 SET in order to make a smaller hole in the VGS plate’s cover in order to make the plate virgin. It is equipped with a stencil and a cutting tool to make a small, round incision in the plate’s cover which will make it much easier to restore safely.
Available to all owners of MN034 and a valid AMS after the update.
MN035 - VGS4-NAG2 FBS4 Virgin/Personalization via ABPROG
Many improvements have been made to the operation of the MN035 license in order to make it easier and more convenient to work with.
These features will be available for all MN035 owners with a valid AMS.
Available to all Abrites AVDI customers with a valid AMS and the MN035 license after the update.
