2. Open the Mercedes FBS4 software and select Electronic Ignition Switch (EIS) press “Info”

3. Press “Save” to save personalization data file (EIS4 data file) to a location on your PC

Now set up the donor unit on bench, using ZN130 ABProg programmer and ZN086, details available below.

1. Open the Mercedes FBS4 software and select DSM

2. Press “Info” button to establish connection

3. IMPORTANT : At this stage you need to set the VIN of the vehicle to the donor DSM

4. Once the VIN is set proceed to next step.

5. Press “Personalize” and select the file with the saved EIS4 data from the EIS

6. Once complete, software would ask you to turn IGN OFF and ON to finalize the procedure
