CG100 Function Menu
CG100 is well-suited for airbag and dashboard. While it does offer BMW CAS1-CAS4 and Land rover key option, it is limited to writing keys. To read CAS/KVM data, you will need to use another EEPROM programmer.
CGPro
CGPro is a reliable option for Mercedes and BMW vehicles, and it has the ability to generate keys via EEPROM data. With CGPro, you can create keys for BMW EWS1-EWS4 and CAS1-CAS4+ (both add key and all keys lost), although you must remove the IMMO box as it cannot be done via OBD. For instance, CGPro can read CAS4 5M48H immobilizer data and write keys independently without requiring another device. However, it's important to note that CGPro is unable to perform FEM/BDC key programming. In addition, CGPro can also create keys for Jaguar Land Rover KVM and Porsche BCM, please verify coverage on their website.
Reading chips and repair battery:
While both CG100 and CGPro can read chips, they differ in their chip-reading capabilities. For instance, CG100 can read the S6J3001*** chip used in Japanese Toyota/Honda mileage correction (for example), whereas CGPro cannot. On the other hand, CGPro can read 9S12 encrypted chips, which CG100 is unable to do. Furthermore, CG100 is capable of repairing Mercedes 48V battery, Volvo 48V battery, and Porsche 12V Lithium battery, while CGPro cannot.
In short,CG100 is for airbag & mileage repair and modification, FC200 is for reading VIN, pulling/cloning ECU and Gearbox data, while CGPro is for pulling eeprom data.
