BENZ FBS3 KIT

Turn your OBDSTAR G3 into a dedicated Mercedes-Benz service platform
Key Programming · PIN reading · All Keys Lost · EIS/ELV/ISM/ECU/TCM module service

  • Online PIN calculation – fast and simple
  • AKL support, most models directly via OBD
  • Far beyond key Programming: electronic module service
Requires OBDSTAR KEYMASTER G3 + MP001 (sold separately)
AKL BENZ-V1 C4-05 C4-04 OBDSTAR • FBS3
The big idea: If you already own an OBDSTAR G3, this kit opens up the Mercedes world — key Programming and electronic module service — without buying a separate Mercedes machine and without a Windows laptop. Same interface, same device, new capabilities.

Three Core Capabilities

PIN Reading

Calculate the PIN via a working key or in AKL mode, and read PIN from a BE key. The calculation is online and usually takes 5-10 minutes.

Module Service (Virgin)

Reset/renew and match EIS/EZS, engine ECU (ECM), transmission (TCM), ISM module and electronic steering lock (ELV) — where supported.

Key Programming

Read key data, generate key file, erase BE key and write BE key — for add-key and All Keys Lost scenarios.

What is the BENZ FBS3 KIT?

The BENZ FBS3 KIT is a dedicated OBDSTAR accessory kit that transforms the X300 Classic G3 into a dedicated Mercedes-Benz Programming and service platform for supported FBS3 systems. Rather than investing in a separate Mercedes-only programmer, a locksmith who already owns a G3 can expand into advanced Mercedes immobilizer and module work — using the same device and the same interface.

Unlike tools that only do key Programming, the FBS3 KIT also handles EIS replacement and matching a faulty EIS to the vehicle — a critical capability in All Keys Lost (AKL) jobs and on cars with a damaged ignition module.

What's in the kit?

C4-05
Dedicated connection cable
System requirements: The kit works together with the OBDSTAR KEYMASTER G3 (Android tablet) and the MP001 Programming software. It is not compatible with X300 DP Plus or X300 Pro4. No binding required — it can be used without binding the device.

Who is this kit for?

  • Automotive locksmiths expanding into Mercedes-Benz services
  • Existing OBDSTAR G3 owners adding dedicated Mercedes capability
  • Workshops looking to complement existing tools (Xhorse, Autel and others) with another Mercedes solution
  • Technicians performing EIS, ELV, ISM, ECU and transmission service alongside key Programming

Much More Than Key Programming

One of the kit's greatest strengths is that it is designed for far more than adding keys. While most Mercedes solutions on the market focus mainly on the immobilizer, OBDSTAR has steadily expanded into electronic module service too — making the G3 a Mercedes electronic service platform, not just a key programmer.

Complements Your Existing Toolbox

The kit is not necessarily meant to replace every other Mercedes tool — but to complement your workshop:

  • Owners of the Xhorse Key Tool MIDI + Multi-Prog gain advanced Mercedes capabilities without buying the separate VVDI MB platform
  • Workshops using Autel add another dedicated Mercedes solution with different workflows and module functions
  • Existing OBDSTAR users keep working in a familiar interface instead of maintaining multiple software ecosystems

Convenience Advantage: Android, No PC

Unlike PC-based Mercedes programmers, the OBDSTAR solution runs directly from the Android-based G3 tablet. For mobile locksmiths, that means:

  • Fewer devices to carry
  • No Windows laptop required for supported procedures
  • Integrated software updates
  • One interface across multiple vehicle brands
Bottom line: For locksmiths who already own an OBDSTAR G3, the BENZ FBS3 KIT offers a cost-effective path into advanced Mercedes key Programming and module service — without purchasing an entirely separate Mercedes programming platform.
